Shifty's Grill - Syracuse

Wings that are actually hot, but still tasty and with a lot of aromen also. large selection of beer and great bar employees. it's a spit and sawdust type from place to the right way. becomes too time quite busy, so they come down early!

Came here after doing a bit of reading on Google reviews. I can honestly say this was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a bar. Upon arrival my dad and I sat at a table. When the bartender Cathy maybe Kathy) learned that it was our first time there we were compelled to sit at the bar. We met some awesome people at the bar that made us feel like we'd been going there for years. The people sitting next to me told me about what flavor of wings to get the Franken-fatal they were even so kind as to give me a sample from their plate. I've never felt so welcome in any establishment. The wings themselves were absolutely the best I've had, and I've eaten wings in just about every wing joint in Buffalo. Neither Duff's, The Anchor Bar, nor Gabriel's Gate can compare. The barkeep recommended we eat the fried mushrooms which are not breaded until the ticket comes in were easily the best fried mushrooms I've ever had. I will most assuredly return for more wings and a burger which I saw being delivered and looked absolutely amazing. I will definitely be returning, Shifty's has definitely become one of my favorites, and that's only after eating one meal there. I look forward to many more meals and many more friendly encounters.

The old lady behind the bar ignored me for 15 minutes after seeing me sit down right in front of her. She didn’t say Hi or acknowledge I was there, not even a “I’ll be right with you” after trying to make eye contact with her for an extended period of time she started showing off her necklace to another customer who had a full glass. It was then that I decided to go somewhere else. She proceeded to chase after me yelling obscenities from across the street as I got in my truck. I never spoke a single word while I was there so I don’t understand why I was treated this way. 5 stars because the last bartender who moved was amazing and the food was always perfect.

I absolutely love this bar !!! The staff and bar tenders are incredible, the wings are phenomenal, and the atmosphere is lovely. I have been here a bunch of different times and all different days of the week and it’s awesome.

Amazing wings, and bartender Kathy is such a good soul. Went in to cool off after a really hard president's day, got 3 shots and 6 wings for 24 bucks. Definitely going back.
