If you didn't enjoy your sandwich here, you sir need to get some water for your pants. Â Because they are on fire. Â Now I'm not saying this is the best sandwich in the world, or the county for that matter. Â But this is a solid sandwich that I will be ingesting again. Â As they say somewhere: Yummers. Â
The pretzel bun is a must, and let me tell you why. Â Its not super chewy as some pretzel bread products can be. Â It was perfectly fresh and i could almost taste a bit of love in the baking. Â And it was prefect for the sandwich I got due to the high pile of meat. Â I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this sandwich with the high meat to bread ratio and the minimalist approach to mustard and hot peppers. Â I was full after half but couldn't stop myself from finishing it off. Â
Sweetwater is a great place to stop for lunch if you can find a table or have your food to go. Â And the general store aspect could be very convenient too.
This is a small place but it is always busy.
A great place for lunch, Sweetwater Deli has sandwiches for about $5 and you can basically buy anything you want on the side. It's almost like a little convenience store as well. It's a great little place with a clean, inviting atmosphere. I love eating there!
Best quick lunch in downtown Lemont. Sandwiches are made to order and the soups are great. The price point makes this family-run deli an easy choice for lunch. They get decadent cookies and brownies from LaBrea everyday, so save room. Kids meals are a fantastic bargain and healthy too. Only complaint is the fake iced tea: Â no restaurant should ever serve iced tea from a machine when the real thing is so much better. But, I'll have a water and enjoy the deli lunch anytime.
Review Source:My husband and I love the downtown Lemont area and decided to try something new so we Yelped Lemont restaurants and found Sweetwater Deli.
Lemont is such a cool, historical town and when I walked into the deli, I had a feeling like I was walking into a modern flashback (if that's possible). Â Decor had a great old-time feeling to it, but was mixed with modern technology and colors. Â
We had already looked at the menu online and knew what we were ordering. Â I am an Italian Sub Lover and my husband is loves Corned Beef and at Sweetwater, the Corned Beef is a Panini, also another of his favorites. Â
Because Sweetwater is already a deli, their meats on the sandwich were super-fresh.  I enjoyed the slight bit of spiciness coming from the sandwich.  My only 2 commetns were  that the piece of lettuce was HUGE, and that it could have used a tad bit more salad dressing on it.  I wouldn't say it was dry, I'm used to having Italian Subs have a bit more dressing on it.
My husband loved his Corned Beef Panini. Â His only comment was that he wished the cheese was a bit more melted on it. Â Otherwise he loved the kraut, with the marbled rye, thousand island dressing.
We also ordered a small pasta salad to go with our sandwiches which either needed to be stirred or have a bit more dressing added to it. Â It just didn't have much flavor to it. Â
Overall, for under $20, 2 good sandwiches with side pickles, 2 bags of chips, 2 sodas, and a small pasta salad in a great old-time, modern setting - we will be back.
I have absolutely loved my experiences at Sweetwater Deli. Â The grilled chicken sandwich is excellent. The chicken was moist, the pretzel roll was fresh, the roasted garlic aioli gave it the perfect amount of kick, while the roasted red peppers gave it just a hint of sweetness. Â Perfection! Â I'm also a big fan of their Italian sub. Â The meats and cheese are fresh, and the homemade dressing they put on it is SOOO good!
Their soups are also fresh, delicious and homemade...just what you would want out of a bowl of soup. Â Their pasta salad is good and not overly oily like most delis. Â The homemade coleslaw rocks my socks. Â It contains big chunks of perfectly dressed cabbage.
Try a Labriola Bakery whoopie pie (like the bread, it's delivered fresh each day to the deli). Â Holy childhood flashback, Sweetwater! Â It tastes like a classed-up, adult-ified version of a Little Debbie Zebra Cake.
Lemont needed a nice but casual place like this, and I really hope people give it a try.
This is strictly on the food only. They are a small market and deli as well (I highly suggest getting the giariniera relish for sandwiches).
My girl and I went around her literally slanted town looking for soup on a cold night. Two places came up on <a href="http://Yelp.com">http://Yelp.com</a>, 3 Corners Bar and Sweetwater Deli. Not realizing 3 Corners Bar was more on the east side of town instead of downtown, we kind of stumbled upon Sweetwater Deli. Thank God we did too. Everything is made from scratch and flavorful. We got a smorgasbord of different foods: chili, pasta fagioli, mac & cheese, the italian sub, the grilled chicken sandwich on the pretzel roll, and ended it all sharing a large piece of tiramisu. Out of all those, I'd say the chili was the best thing on the table. Probably the best chili I've had in the suburbs, maybe even in the whole Chicagoland area. It was everything you would want in a chili. The exact opposite of the $1 bowls you would get at Wendy's. Don't get me wrong though, all the other food was great. The mac & cheese was blessed with what I believe the owner said was 4 different cheeses, and each cheese was tasted with every bite. I like my mac & cheese to be slightly more cheesy, but it was perfect for my gf since she's not that big of a fan of my style of M&C. The subs and sandwiches were made fresh and were hearty too. The Tiramisu was not too sweet, almost at a perfect amount of sweetness, with not much of that strong alcohol flavor that can be overbearing in cheaper Tiramisu (I say cheaper since this huge 5in x 2in rectangular slice was only $4.50). Oh yeah, I have to add that most rolls and pastries were delivered from Labriola which is something I like. If you don't make your own bread and pastries, at least get it from 1 of the better places around the area.
So overall, Sweetwater Deli was a complete success of a trip, and my girl and I will be back soon. Probably tonight since typing up this review is making me hungry for their chili now.
The GOOD: Everything on the menu but especially the chili. Try any of the daily specials too.
The BAD: The location - Lemont is kind of way out there. My girl likes to describe it as "a town off on its own little place." I will say it is well worth the trip though.
The UGLY: The car in parked in front of us that had the license plate "Twist F 8" Probably the only terrible thing I saw that night haha.
