Reviews Swheat Market Deli

I had read alot of wonderful reviews of the Swheat Market in downtown Cartersville, GA, so I was really excited to give it a try. This restaurant has definitely made it's mark on the city as well as the entire state. Their Black Bean Burger has found it's way onto Georgia's 100 Plates Locals Love list, not to mention they won a 2014 Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor. We recently stopped in for a Tuesday lunch and I wanted to include a summary of our meal in which I examine five main elements that I feel define a dining experience. These are Ambience, Cleanliness, Service, Food Quality and Value. Here we go:

I enjoy downtown restaurants! They seem to capture the nostalgia of days gone by. The Swheat Market does this well, nestled between storefront antique shops and the train tracks. It's a beautiful building with a very high ceiling. It's decorated with antiques and has some nice murals on the walls. There's a few tables near the front windows where one can sit in the sunlight. I like the lighting and the overall ambience is spot on. 

The restaurant was clean, boasting a health score of 99. I didn't have any cleanliness issues, which is always nice.

The Service category is a little difficult to assess here as you basically order at a counter as in a fast food situation. They do bring the food to your table. Drinks are self serve, so not much of a waitress/waiter situation. Still, everyone was friendly. 

The Quality of food here is excellent! It appears that a great amount of care and creativity has went into the entrees to give them a signature touch. The quality and freshness of the ingredients are important to the owners as many of the meats, breads and veggies have local origins. On this trip I was able to sample the Corned Beef Reuben, Roast Beef & Provolone, Sweet Potato Fries, Regular Fries and Chicken Tenders. All of it was great! The delicious Reuben was the real thing with all the key ingredients. The Roast was delicious and tender. I liked the natural cut fries, especially the Sweet Taters. I even thought my son's Chicken Tenders were great.....perfect outer crust. The sweet pickle chips were a nice addition also. I look froward to trying more menu items.

The value of the meal was about what I expected. Two sandwiches, one side of sweet fries, a child's chicken tender with fries and three drinks for $30.00, about average. 

Overall, it was a great experience. I feel like the five elements listed in order from most impressive to least impressive would be as follows:

Quality of Food
Cleanliness
Ambience
Value
Service
If I lived closer I would try to eat here weekly. Looking forward to returning.

Worth driving 2 miles off 75 for. Delicious fresh sandwiches and soups.

Found this place and stopped in after reading the reviews for it on Urban Spoon! Definitely glad we did! We had a party of 8 that included 6 teenagers, most of them pretty picky. There was something for everyone and everyone really enjoyed their meal! We had a little of just about everything and it was all great! Definitely get the fries, they were wonderful!

BEST lunch in Cartersville!. We eat lunch here very often on the weekends, and I have yet to try something I didn't like! All of their sandwiches and soups are great, and the sweet potato fries are fantastic! The service is very friendly and the decor has a rustic, vintage feel to it. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Small town friendliness and upscale food. Everything that comes out of the kitchen always seems so unique and tastes delicious.

You can taste the freshness!. I love bringing people to Swheat Market for the first time and watching the surprise on their face when they realize just what fresh food without preservatives tastes like! The combinations sometimes sound unusual but always taste delicious! This is the friendliest place in town and someone always comes by to make sure you are happy and love what you've ordered. The soups are fantastic and vary with the seasons.

My favorite place for lunch in Cartersville. Excellent sandwiches/salads/soups.

I really love this place and have tried almost everything here! Cant go wrong with any of the soups. All fresh! Side note though, this place should not be on any delivery apps as they find it hard to complete orders. I understand getting busy but after waiting for over an hour for an online order it was canceled. The order was put in at noon on a day where hours claim to be open till 3pm. Dine in or pick up.

Great menu with creative selections. The atmosphere was friendly and comfortable. Pricing on par with most lunch type restaurants that aren't fast food places. Would definitely go back!

First time there. Had the Cuban sandwich and pickle fries. Very unique side that was delicious. Awesome sandwich. Can't wait to go back!
