“Love This Bar !!!!“

“We rolled into swifty’s on a Sunday for lunch, 30 minutes after they opened with a 16 year old hockey team and parents who were killing time between hockey games at the nexus center and wanted a place to watch the bills game for a bit. I am sure they were overwhelmed by 45 people who walked in at one time. Let me just say… they were amazing. Everyone got their drinks and then everyone placed a food order. The bar tender.. Amanda? Was the best! The food rolled out of that kitchen like it was normal. And to top it off.. everyone’s lunch was awesome. Huge burgers, great pizza, one huge fan of the chicken parm, loaded fry’s had multiple fans and the other wraps and sandwiches all had great reviews. Nobody was dissapointed. Next time we’re in Utica for a tournament, we definitely will be dropping by again! I will at least give them a heads up next time. :) Great Job Swifty’s! Everyone on Sunday did a fantastic job.

“We have eaten in twice, and done takeout once, recently, and all three experiences were excellent. Our waitress/ cook was welcoming and attentive. Pizza was cooked perfectly, with ample toppings. We tried different flavors of wings each time, and the favorites were Everything, Sweet n’ Spicy, and Honey Barbecue. Highly recommend! We will be back soon!“

“Great place to meet friends. Support small business.“

“I truly love this place and can't wait to take my wife.“

“Myself and four friends went there for Friday fish fry. The service was prompt the place was very clean. Large selection of draft beer on tap as well bottled and canned beer in the coolers. We all ordered the Utica beer breaded fish fry. Cannot be more happier with their meal the fish was huge and lightly breaded. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. Large selection of craft beers. I definitely will be back.“

“Laufer’s has been a go-to date night spot for my wife and I for a while food is top notch! So good that we’ve been there 4 weeks straight for fish tacos during the lent season. Truly a hidden gem with the best food in the area Also, don’t leave without trying desert, you will never regret their deserts!“

“On Monday I ordered a Ciabatta with Roast Beef. The meat was ice-cold. So, on Wednesday, I asked specifically for it to be warmed up. no Chips, no veggies in my sandwich. My waitress stressed that in the sandwich area. I got chips that I didn't want, veggies that I dind't want, and the meat was ice cold again. I give up!“

“Really good honey siracha chicken wings and generous serving of loaded tots!“

“worse piece of fish i've ever had,, french fries were cold, ravioli was frozen“
