Great classic Buffalo bar, not great classic wings
Final Overall Score: 3.0
Restaurant: 4.0
- Swannie House has that classic “Buffalo” atmosphere (wood paneling, dark, and somehow dankly charming and welcoming). Service was good, bar is lively. Note that this place is hopping and difficult to get into, especially if there is a Sabres game or an event at the KeyBank center.
Taste: 2.5
- Crispy, large wings with disappointing skin and even more disappointing meat. The sauce had a sweet note that scored sourly with us. Even the bleu cheese was sweet, which we didn’t like.
Sauce: 2.5
- On the low end of medium spicy. No creaminess and instead had a sugary sweetness. Quantity of sauce was plentiful, but it does not stick to the wings and pooled at the bottom of the plate.
Crispiness: 2.0
- Mostly crispy skin, but the overly gummy meat was a show stopper. The consistency of the meat was like warm chewing gum.
Size & Quality: 4.0
- Mostly big beautiful size, but several inconsistencies and small flats.
