Great little spot in Delmar. Stopped in for a bite on our way home, and got the roasted red pepper, spinach and artichoke bisque and Irish onion soup, Bavarian pretzels and waffle fries. Super busy place, but there was a seat for us right away. Excellent soup and appetizers. Will definitely go back for dinner.

Service was awful the food was worse. The price of liquor is insane. I used to love this place not now! I'd like to know when the place was cleaned last. There was an inch of filth on the ledge of the bay windows..... disgusting

I've been here probably 8 times now and have never been disappointed. Today my family of 4 came for lunch so parking was easy and we were seated right away. All staff we encountered were pleasant. Atmosphere is divey but not dirty.My kids had large meals of chicken fingers, hot dogs, fries and onion rings with an ice cream cup for a very reasonable $7.99. My husband and I always get the delicious Reuben spring rolls. I had the French onion soup and mushroom and arugula salad with salmon added. In the past the salad has come with fried mushrooms but today it was fried cauliflower. I prefer the fried mushrooms (it is a mushroom salad after all) and just personal choice but the cauliflower was still ok. My husband loves the fish and chips and the tartar sauce is delicious. We all left with plenty of leftovers.We will continue to go and to get takeout. One of our favorite local spots!
I’ve been going to Swifty’s for many years and am usually very please. We ordered takeaway for dinner tonight and ware very disappointed. I arrived a few minutes before the scheduled time and drove just over 1 mile home. The food was cold when I unpacked it. The Swift’y’s sampler was standard but the onion rings and Ruben rolls were a bit soggy.I ordered the Schnitzel sandwich with beer cheese instead of Swiss (as offered as an option on-line) and asked if the mushrooms could be held off. I got a chicken sandwich with honey mustard, No cheese or sauce. Sandwiches are supposed to be served with fries or house chips and we got neither. As a treat order a slice of the Guinness cake. The average sized slice of cake arrived with half of the bottom layer missing. Certainly not worth the $9 price. Def. Rethinking a favorite neighborhood spot. They can do much better.

Ordered a bbq chicken pizza. It arrived literally black. The woman on the phone defended it by saying “we thought you would want it crispy” the manager then got on and apologized… we opted to not get a new pizza… I’m editing to add we do love the Albany location. They are always kind and the food is always

Food is always delicious and the staff always pleasant and attentive. Love this place and can't wait to be sitting outside again!Parking: During the busiest times, their lot can be full and you can park on the street. Busy intersection at this side road, so can be a bit of a challenge.

The deep fried buffalo burger is gone. Kaput. I was considering a return trip to Albany. And if I was only going to be in town for one meal, where would I go? The answer for me was Swifty's for one reason and one reason only. Just to get another taste of the deep fried buffalo burger. But I heard a nasty rumor. I heard that the dish I still dream about, the thing I would want to eat as my last dying meal, had been unceremoniously removed from Swifty's menu. That couldn't be true. It was the best thing there. In my mind, it was the only reason to visit this restaurant. So I called to find out. Yes, the deep fried buffalo burger is off the menu. "But could you still make it for me as a special request?" No. The kitchen no longer has the ingredients needed. I presume that would have to be the batter. And no, the other location in Albany doesn't have it either. This makes me so sad. I am compelled to downgrade my original review as I've had other treats from Swifty's. Their pizza and fried snacks are fine. They do have good beers available. If this were my neighborhood tavern, I'd certainly pop in on occasion. However, they killed the goose that laid the golden egg. My only hope is that the management of the Utica location wasn't so short sighted.

Ordered take-out. Our food was ready on time as promised, even though the place was packed (dinner time on Friday night) and our meal was so delicious.
