    Ice Cream
    Kevin F.

    Overall food was good, ice cream was great as it should be and service was ok. I felt the the prices were as little high but who isn't now

    Went to friendlys today, waited 45 minutes for the check& 25 minutes for the 4 drinks that we bought. When we got there we were brought to our table and the server got our drink order and it took 25 minutes of our time for us to get said drinks but Here's the clincher.... they did not clean the knife I got because of the fact that it looked dirty as heck they did not get our checks till 545 and it was 4 when we got there Ty Steven M

    Everytime I go there I swear I wont go back. Wish I listened to myself. Besides the normally below average food, the service is soooooo slow. The poor waitress had to wait ALL the tables, clean the tables and take the money up front. Wait time to order food was long, wait time to order icecream after we ate was extremely long. Then when we received our icecream, my granddaughters M&Ms looked very old and tasted like that. How they can serve them is just plain wrong. See photo.

    I've sat on this review for a week trying to decide if I wanted to share a not-so-flattering…read moreexperience. However, if there is a chance that Swifty's management may read this, along with fellow diners, it may be helpful for the future. The overall experience, food, and service was good. Clearly, this place and its 2 sister locations know how to be successful. But what we experienced could either be because a rogue chef or location manager is trying to cut corners - or - it could be the philosophy of the company to try and nickel-and-dime the customer to reduce costs and take advantage of those who won't notice. My boys and I ordered 20 wings to start, my oldest had a burger to follow, and my younger really wanted to focus on wings, so only ordered fries. I had the. Cheeseburger wrap with onion rings and coleslaw. Wings: crispy, tasty, and really good blue cheese. BUT...when they came to the table, the baskets looked light. So... WE COUNTED THEM. ONLY 17. My (as the menu clearly states) "half pound burger in a wrap" was probably 1/4 of a pound light. Wait til you see the photo. So, all the good service and reasonably good food was ruined by Swifty's trying to either take advantage of customers incrementally hundreds of times a day (order by order) - or - they have a location chef and manager who tolerate food leaving their kitchen that is not as advertised or up to the standard which allowed them to open 3 locations. It's one or the other. Will we be back? I don't know. We really wanted this to be great. We live in the Northwest Corner of CT, my son goes to college in Rochester, this location is literally (to the mile) half-way between. We make the trip weekly due to his athletics schedule. We wanted to be regulars. Will probably look elsewhere next time. 2 stars for the front of the house service. It was excellent. And the blue cheese dressing. It was fantastic. If you go - count your wings and make sure what the menu says is on your plate.

    My reuben sandwich was absolutely fantastic and prepared them like I have not had in a very long…read moretime. Even though this is a particle food is very fantastic if you're looking for something to eat as well. You have to stop by this place if you're in the Utica area. Services incredibly friendly and they get you exactly what you want. Food quality is incredible as well so you get double the dining pleasure
