guess that's why i keep returning -- consistently good food, lively atmosphere and reasonable prices. ”

still recommend Swingers for fun casual dining, just be aware that it's noisy with lots of juke box music, so this isn't a casual place to bring your family so much, more of a place to go with friends to get excited about a night out. ”
