    Let me just say its literally IN A SWAMP! It also has some if the best Crispy Buffalo wings I've ever had! We also tried the cast iron pan seared black Cajun wings. They were SPICY! It was a unique interesting flavor that they are famous for. I'm happy I tried them, but I'll be sticking to the amazing Buffalo from now on instead. Awesome classic rock collection on the juke box and great sound system. Very friendly staff and regulars.

    Fantastic Benny wings prepared by Benny himself! Great cold beer. This was a great lunch find for us!

    The pickle ranch wings are amazing!!! Benny is a great bartender, very personable with great recommendations! Will definitely be back and soon. Great dive bar atmosphere. Walk the plank and try the wings. We also bought a beaded bracelet and tie dye tshirt, great Seamp swag for sale here.

    Home from Florida, stop in at the Swamp on Jones & Gifford. What a pleasant surprise. The bar has a zen feel. Drink, best pan fried chicken wings in Chautauqua County and did some shopping. Shopping, at a bar you ask? Checkout all the beautiful items, hard to narrow it down. Great vibe at the Swamp....

    We just had some amazing wings and cold beers. Don't be intimidated by the parking. The staff was welcoming and helpful! If you love wings - it's worth a visit. Be advised bathrooms need a definite cleaning. The decor is unique. Small but quaint inside! Too cold to be out but maybe next time!

    Wings are good, get the Mafia wings. So good. Definitely a hole in the wall spot, but it's laid back and peaceful.

    For my drive back to Cleveland from skiing at Holiday Valley I was looking for a place along the…read moreroute to grab some fish and chips for dinner. Steener's Pub popped up and the reviews were good. Located in Bemus Point just a couple of miles from I 86 made for a convenient stop. Steener's is located a bit outside of the Bemus Point main drag, but there are a couple of other businesses nearby. The building looks modern from the outside, inside it looks like the original bar area has been there quite a while, they then added a dining room and later a second dining room. The decor is casual tavern style, lots of wood and mellow colors without much extra. The menu is a nice mix of typical bar food with a good selection of fish and seafood which makes sense for a place so near to Chautauqua Lake. Service was good, the waitress was friendly. I ordered the fish and chips since it was highlighted in the menu. The order came out quickly, a huge batter fried fish fillet on top of a load of fries with side cups of tarter sauce and coleslaw. The fries and coleslaw were just what you expect, good but nothing special. The fish was outstanding, mild flaky white fish in a perfectly crunchy coating; delicious and very satisfying. My only complaint was that while it was nicely presented on a square plate, having the huge fish fillet on top of the fries made it difficult to eat since I had to move the fish around to get to the fries and cutting the fish with the fries underneath did not work well. I appreciate attractive food presentation is important, but this was too much food for the size of the plate. I really liked my dinner at Steener's, if they could raise the level of the side dishes to match the fried fish this would be truly exceptional. Keep making great fish, just upgrade the rest of food to match.

    BEST Chicken Wings! They are the most consistent. Fresh, meaty, crispy, saucy. They just do it…read moreright here. I get the hot buffalo. My daughter gets brown sugar on medium buffalo. The ranch dressing is so good with the wings and salads. It's not runny and must be made in-house. On a cool night, I'll also order the French onion soup. Service is always friendly and quick. The remodel gives them more space and the patio is great when we bring our dog with us. The bathroom in the expanded space is newer and more spacious. We love supporting this local restaurant. We'll see you soon! Thank you for staying open all year!

I was a little taken back when on the board it stated they had a sloppy Joe and ff special for $17. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms which were enormous and very good. They were the size of a cue ball. Hubby ordered the steak salad special and loved it. Loaded with large pieces of tender steak and he really enjoyed it. He also had a pinia colada which seemed like it was from a pre-made gallon jug. I tasted it and neither of us enjoyed it. I had the stuffed halibut or haddock I forget which. It was on the dry side. I guess I should've went for the extra charge and got it in garlic butter. The stuffing in it had very thin long straps of imitation crab which was gross. Would have been better w/out it. MUCH better. Nice baked potato and mediocre bagged salad in my opinion. Server was nice and friendly and the portion sizes were large, but overpriced.

Tonight the service from Reagan was absolutely amazing. she was attentive, she checked in pretty regular and very personable. She knew her stuff and this honestly has been the best service I have ever received while dining here over the last two years. This type of service keeps me coming back. As long as regean continues to waitress here's I will keep returning. some of the other waitresses have very poor attitudes and rolls there eyes right in front of you.
