Swingbelly’s History

Come in… Get Your Belly Out! Swingbelly’s is a family-style restaurant with great food and spirits. It all started in 1983 when Mark A. Werner, who was a newbie to the restaurant industry, saw the potential in an old laundromat located at South Lake Avenue (Stop 2). After many successful years and many satisfied customers, it was time to get even closer to the waters of Lake Michigan.

“Friendly stay, great selection of craft beers, and the best onion rings I’ve had in a long time.From burgers to soups salads to sandwiches and everything else in between, every meal is like a special occasion. Outdoor dining too, family friendly atmosphere with kids menu, or if you want to head to the bar and watch golf that’s great too.”

“Unbelievably good hamburgers; $5.00 on Monday. Awesome skinny fries; cooked perfectly, I must say. All of us had a burger of one type or another. Every belly was pleased and full. Great service, also. We will be back…. and soon.”
