Story

Swifty's Atomic Bar and Grill is a family owned bar and grill that pays homage to the late Ronnie "Swifty" Swift, who thoroughly enjoyed his career in the nuclear industry. Swifty's revolves around a "Secret City" and playful nuclear theme. We are a full service bar and grill with live entertainment and the ability to cater to private venues with our large banquet rooms.

Meet the owners!

Nellie "Rusty" Swift: The matriarch of the family, fun and full of energy, she will soon be a recognizable staple in the restaurant!

The Twins: Matthew and Marcus Swift are the Swifty twins. Each has a degree in Criminal Justice from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale (we are Northerners initially, please don't hold it against us!). Matthew's role will be general manager while Marcus will oversee security and back-of-the-house operations.


Roni Swift: The sister of the family, and "Mouth of the South", Roni has a degree in Microbiology and previously supervised cancer and biocompatibility research at the University of Tennessee.

Fun menu... Lots of foods' names pay homage to the area's pivotal place in the deployment of the first atomic bomb. Tons of yummy sounding burgers. My party tried the chili (not as good as the menu or the waitress made it sound and tortilla chips were a little stale), the atomic burger (fabulous), onion rings (very good, try the horseradish dip!), and the boneless wings (pretty good). Service was very good except the chili was brought out way earlier than other entrees.) Fun Halloween decor. Lively and friendly crowd.

They are in transition, merging 2 restaurants and kitchens so service and food were less than optimum. We were a large group and food did not come at same time. The grilled cheese sandwich was a definite miss and onion rings were on the soggy side. I would have to hear about some great improvement before trying it again.

Not a fan. Waited for 10 minutes at the bar while the staff huddled in the corner. Was going to order food, but the bartender never came back. I have been disappointed here several times before, and decided to see if things had improved. It hasn't. Pretty much the same. Good thing the Crab Bucket changed their mind about merging. Won't be coming back. UPDATE: while I posted this I finished my drink. It has now been 20 minutes since I saw the bartender. I had to find the manager for the bill, and they refused a military discount, saying only on veterans day.

A unique dining experience leaving you wondering if you just traveled back in time. The wait staff take their time serving and helping while also distracting themselves with gossiping with each other. Swifty’s is always entertaining and great for people watching.

Food is only mediocre. Nothing special about it. Asked the waitress if I should get fried pickles or mushrooms with my frog legs...she recommended pickles so I ordered them. I got my food just to find out the frog legs come on top of fried pickles, so I now have an entire order of pickles to pay for for no reason. Husband ordered boneless chicken, it took almost 40 minutes to get it and even then they brought it to us in two servings and it looked like it had been sitting awhile. We are currently waiting for the waitress to come pickup our check, it's already been 5 minutes on that. I guess it's really hard to provide service to just a few people! I would absolutely hate to see what this place is like when it's busy!
