Swallow's Syracuse Reviews
Went for a burger tonight, great food & great service.
Love Swallows, Salt City Dart League 🎯😎
Amazing place. In town for a cheerleading competition. Stopped in here for a cold beer & some wings. Everything was amazing. Great staff. Awesome environment. Will definitely be returning here when back in Syracuse.
If you're having a bad day, just go to Swallows and order a dozen " hot" wings, Xtra Bleu cheese. " everything gone be all right...", Thanks Mikey
Great food and character. Bartender is friendly and even serenaded us as we ate.
Service was great, the bar itself is pretty old and not going to lie, not in the most glamorous part of town by a long shot, but my goodness the wings are absolutely fantastic. If you love wings, try them here. Absolutely amazing. Best I've tried in Syracuse and on par with some of the best dive bars in Buffalo that have perfected wings.
Swallows was recommended to me for the wings and they did not disappoint. Food and service was great. Always looking forward to wings here anytime I'm in the Syracuse area.
Needed wings one Sunday and gave them a shot. So glad we tried these. I got the spicy ranch and mild. The ranch ones were unexpected. They were perfect. Never had anything like them. The wings themselves were cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Sauce was a perfect amount. Favorite wings, hands down.
I ordered dry wings with 2 sauces and 3 blue cheese. Garlic parm and hot BBQ were delicious. They had them wrapped so well! By far the best to go food I've had from any restaurant. I also ordered mozzarella sticks. They are the thick rectangular ones, which are, of course, the most superior of all the mozzarella stick shapes, in my opinion. Top notch, would order again.
Over the years Swallows has really transformed itself inside and out! The food (esp. the wings!) are the best in years! Great expanded seating outside and wheelchair access through the new'ish side entrance from the dedicated fenced-in parking. A must do if you are a local, or a returning-visitor
Best wings in Syracuse for sure (no disrespect to shiftys love you guys too) the bar is really fun and you get a mix of ages. I enjoy it here! The staff is awesome too and I love the cooks!
Excellent dive bar. Great staff. Kept clean. Tasty wings: fully cooked and good flavor without drowning in sauce. Philly sandwich was excellent: juicy and flavorful. Fries were fully cooked and under seasoned but seasoning is available. Bar tender was great. Good prices and cash discounts. Will visit again.
The wings are something special here. I had the spicy ranch wings and they were amazing. The size of the wings are very large. The wings were cooked perfectly for me, lightly crispy. Plenty of sauce on the wings. I also had the cheese steak sandwich...AMAZING! This sandwich is overstuffed. Plenty of steak, mushrooms, peppers, and onions. The price was very reasonable. I also had a Labbatt Blue Light draft. The beer was ice cold and fresh. I highly recommend Swallows!
Don't expect fancy drinks, but rather consistent service and fresh food and beer. Bartenders are great and always working hard, owner is around most of the time. Food is ALWAYS great. Multiple tvs for different games.
The most cultured, relaxed crowd I've seen at a bar in my life. Amazing owners, great atmosphere. 5$ for 12 wings on Monday. Unbelievable deal.
Food was awesome but the bartender needs better customer service skills. I felt as if I was bothering him. I don't drink so I asked for a Pepsi he said they didn't have any, then he was told they did. So when I got it, it tasted like flat syrup. Just saying if you're going to bartend maybe u should have better people skills. But I'll be back cause those Chicken wings are THE BEST!
We usually don't leave negative reviews and I want to say the food is great and I am LOVE a great dive bar, however the bartender was incredibly rude. When I tried to talk to him he said "hey Lady, I got no problem." When I the spoke to management I was told "if it makes you feel better, he only works Saturday". He probably shouldn't be working at all if you want to keep Strathmore folk coming in. Love the food, love the atmosphere, that guy was a jerk and we won't be back.
