“I've come twice since my first visit and the food is amazing every single time. Our servers were very helpful and provided excellent service. There's a large variety of drinks that can cater to whatever you prefer to drink. The food is some of the best food in Erie. Everything was cooked to perfection and packed so much flavor. Highly recommend the bourbon sugar fried chicken, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. There was live music one night, which provided a nice atmosphere. If you had to choose one place to eat at in Erie, this is the place”
“I have been coming to Oliver's for a few years now. It's just about some of the best food in Erie with some of the best views of the bay! This place gets slammed on holidays and during special events, so reservations are recommended. The service here is generally pretty good. We have always had knowledgeable wait staff and friendly bartenders. Their drink sizes and flavors have certainly changed over the last year. Right now they want you to pay $17 for a blackberry margarita that is NOT fresh whatsoever. It is a mix and the flavor is just not there. The regular margarita is the same flavor, only for $9. This needs to change, pronto. Please add more options with mezcal and Prosecco. You should be on par with other fine dining restaurants around the country! The food is always excellent. I have had the pork chop, steak and souvlaki salad on my most recent visits. The waffle dessert is a sure fire favorite and my husband never lets me share his :) A great ending to a fine meal. We'll always return to Oliver's, but would love to see some new menu items and also a tweak of the drink menu.”
“Love this place. Small quant place. Great atmosphere. Bartender was fantastic. They have outside seating in the summer. Lots of different wines to choose from Serra is my fav! Live bands and food trucks every other weekend. New fav hangout!”
“Definitely a place you should visit at least one time if you're ever in Erie. Unique vibe, used to be a train station and it shows. The place is clean and renovated, food is better than most restaurants I've been to in Erie. I have lived here for 15 years by the way! The food is great, I got the fish and chips, definitely would try it again. I feel the need to add that the fish was perfectly cooked. My mom got a burger which looked good, and she was able to confirm my suspicions. Multiple bars within the location, also, really nice beer glasses (My personal delectation). There is an outdoor bar upstairs that is right on a train railway, a very interesting atmosphere to find yourself in. Before or after you sit down for a meal, there is much to do while you're in here, this place is more than just a restaurant. A lot of places to walk around and see, I'm actually not sure how to express this.. It's kind of like a little museum I suppose. Old-fashioned. The service is exceptional, there really isn't much more to say about it than, simply great. Also, don't be shy! The people here seem really friendly with one another. I was actually shy myself during my first visit. Go on Google and check out the photos of the place. This will help you understand more of what my review is trying to express. All-in-all, The Brewerie at Union Station is quite a unique experience. IF you have not been here, you must visit at least one time!!”
“Having Brooke as a waiter was probably one of the best services I’ve ever had. She was very accommodating and helpful the ENTIRE time. First time eating there and she definitely made the experience a lot better!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I was working in Erie for a few months and this place quickly became a favorite. A friend and I went once a week and we were always met with friendly workers and amazing food/ sushi with large portions. The staff pays great attention to detail and Kenzie H Remembered our usual order. Both she and the other serving staff are attentive to their tables. The kitchen has a great turn around time too so you’re never waiting long. I look forward to when I can come back!”
“My family decided not to cook on Easter due to having a family member in the hospital and we stopped into Longhorn in Erie. Our server, Kaitlyn W, was AMAZING. She was attentive, friendly, and so understanding. We are grateful for Kaitlyn!”
“I have always had a great experience here! It is such a fun dining experience. Our server went above and beyond to make sure our meals were exactly what we wanted.The presentation is EVERYTHING! I love how they serve their dishes in such fun unique ways. The chefs are top notch and the taste is exceptional. Also, the mocktail menu made it fun for everyone. This is one of our TOP spots in Erie!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Food was wonderful, imaginative recipes, flexible options for diet restrictions, and GREAT flavor combinations! But even more important, the service was OUTSTANDING… so accommodating, helpful, responsive to our needs, and FAST… in spite of the convention crowds. Special distinctions and our thanks go to Giselle, Hannah, and Maddie… please tell them they represent the highest standards of the stellar Marriott quality!”
“Food was fire! So delicious! Highly recommend the scrambler bowl with a side of Greek sauce! Dawn made the whole vibe comfortable, engaging, and welcomed! We will be back again!”
“The tortillas are excellent, cochinita pibil is top notch, pozole is perfect on a cold Erie day. Great spot for lunch. The staff is very friendly.If your idea of Mexican food is a place near a mall serving enchiladas and slushy margaritas..do yourself a favor and try real Mexican food here.Establishment is BYOB.”
“Great place. I'm up here for a comedy festival and was told about this place immediately. Growing up all over the south, I had to try the bbq and see how it was. The food was great. They sell out of the brisket super quick. I tried the pulled pork Mac and cheese and potato salad. Outstanding work y'all. Made me miss back home. The sauces were all great and the spicy had a nice kick but not bad. 5 stars would eat this every day if I could.”

“The pizza here is so good! We also tried the Nashville chicken and it was really good also! The service was friendly and I was amazed at how fast the guy made pizzas. He was quick and efficient at his job!”
“I love Erie Curry House! I have been going since their opening day and it's one of the best Indian/Nepali restaurants in Erie. The food is very flavorful and they have spicy options. The portion size is also very big for the price. The owner is so nice and the waitstaff was also amazing. I have recommended this place to many people and they all enjoy it. Highly recommend!”
“I used to deliver here. Decided to try it last summer. Not only is everything superman power clean, they are friendly and the food is great.It is rare that I leave reviews for places I used to deliver food, but this place is a guarantee for great food and drinks. Across from the casino, save some money and support a local business. Gravel lot, yes. Beer distributor, yes. Great family spot, absolutely!!!! Loved you when I delivered there, love you now and always will. Keep up the excellent work!!! God bless”
“Every time we go up to Erie, we also get Avanti's atleast once, sometimes even more. The place usually has a crowd because it is such a great place. The staff are very friendly and just overall plays a huge role in the dynamic of a cute family owned diner. My bf loves the meatball omelet and I also try a new item every time I go and have never been disappointed!”
“Very interesting experience having Mexican food for breakfast. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Restaurant was very clean. The bakery is ”
“Always amazing and super fresh food. And the staff is great with answering questions or helping with recommendations.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and gluten free options!”
“Visiting from out of town and ordered takeout from Fine Restaurant & Bar. Ordered palak paneer (so creamy and perfectly spiced) and mango lassi (refreshing) and it was very delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant!”
“Oh my goodness, first time going to get a crepe here and I was beyond satisfied and impressed! Service was great, food was even better! I love trying new things especially food and i will absolutely be going again very soon! The portion size was amazing and the taste was phenomenal!!! Super satisfying ? I got the foster with bananas and strawberries and my boyfriend got the BLT and we both ate it all!!”
“Friendly staff and good simple food. The tables are full of grey haired locals that you can tell they are all comfortable around each other. The counter is always full with men stopping in to eat and visit. Kaytlin, our waitress, is open and friendly and seems to know everyone.”
“I'm definitely a fan of the food and service was A1, the beef and rice was so delicious, definitely one of my favorite food spots. Too bad you can put up the food ”
“It was a neat little mom and pop breakfast place recommended by a friend. We waited about 15 minutes for a table, but there was a line out the door after we sat down. The food was excellent. It's a little bit crowded inside but I would recommend it.”
“Absolutely the best Italian meal I've had in a long long time. They give you more food than you can possibly eat. Recipes are unique. sauces are fantastic, everything was delicious.”
“I enjoyed everything about Stormy Crab. The food, the service, and the atmosphere was amazing. We arrived less than a hour before closing, and we were still greeted warmly.Alex, our waiter, was patient, kind, and simply exquisite. The complimentary garlic bread was absolutely delicious and the amount of food we received was perfect for the price point. This will definitely be one of our first stops the next time we visit Erie....oh and tagging the wall was our favorite part of dinner!”

“We were in the area and wanted to check this place out. Great location and the staff is amazing. We sat near the kitchen and every dish looked amazing!!! It made it difficult to decide what to order. If you are in the area, you need to stop here!!”
“It was a neat little mom and pop breakfast place recommended by a friend. We waited about 15 minutes for a table, but there was a line out the door after we sat down. The food was excellent. It's a little bit crowded inside but I would recommend it.”
“Only thing I miss is the ramen being served in the to go bowl- can never finish the whole bowl. Worth the 45 minute drive when we’re craving some good ramen and pot stickers!”
“The food was okay- the desserts were DELICIOUS. My husband and I loved the atmosphere and our waitress (Chloe? I feel bad that I missed her name!) was so sweet! After my husband let her know that I am deaf in one ear, she made it a point to approach our table on my hearing side so I could hear her easily! Would recommend!”
“My absolute favorite food from Thai Eatery are the Crab Rangoons. Each crunch will send a symphony of flavors dancing on your taste buds. The crispy, golden exterior gives way to a creamy, decadent filling that whispers sweet secrets of imitation crabmeat and cream cheese. With every tantalizing nibble, you’re transported to a realm of culinary bliss where indulgence meets satisfaction. It’s a seductive dance of textures and tastes, leaving you craving more with each sinful bite. Truly, these ‘goons are a tantalizing treat for the senses that’s worth savoring slowly and slyly. Their other foods are delectable. Never had a bad experience here.”
“I have to come to Erie for work every few months. One of my clients recommended this place and now I stop almost every time I'm in town. Perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine after work and the food is always fantastic. My favorite is the fig and prosciutto pizza. I always sit at the bar so I can't speak for the wait staff, but the bartenders are always very friendly and attentive.”
“The food and atmosphere were both what I expected. The portion sizes were good. The prices were reasonable. Plenty of free parking. I would get takeout from here again.”
“Shawn and Olivia were so helpful and accommodating to myself and my family. After traveling 24hrs from CO, it was extremely refreshing to enter an establishment that treated us like family. 10/10 recommend”
“Appears to be undergoing renovations and does mention new ownership on the menu. Stopped in while traveling through the city and the food was great. The chicken tawook skewers were amazing.Kid-friendliness: Staff had no problem accommodating my picky eaters”
“My family and I were extremely happy with our visit. The food was good but our server Adam was SPECTACULAR! We never once had to ask for anything. Our drinks were always full and he was so genuinely nice. Not a nice because it's your job nice. A class act for sure.”
“The food was okay- the desserts were DELICIOUS. My husband and I loved the atmosphere and our waitress (Chloe? I feel bad that I missed her name!) was so sweet! After my husband let her know that I am deaf in one ear, she made it a point to approach our table on my hearing side so I could hear her easily! Would recommend!”
“This isn’t your run of the mill Erie restaurant that features the same redundant menus. Concerned about portions? Go to a buffet. Everything I have had from this spot has been delectable.”
“I had the chicken wonton ramen, outstanding. We were all really pleased with the food and service. It feels like authentic Japanese cuisine, with a calming and inviting atmosphere. We are definitely coming back again.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“I moved out of Erie three years ago and have not had the chance to visit the Sweet Vault until this week when I was home for Christmas. This has got to be one of the sweetest inventions (pun intended) ever! Icing on the Lake’s creations always live up to my confectionery expectations and the selection did not disappoint! The machine is easy to use if you follow the instructions. I am so happy the bakery is still a part of Erie. Thank you for the treats! We will surely stop by during our next visit!”
“Found their menu on line and tried them. Put my order in on line. They texted me when it was ready for pick up. It's was made just as I had ordered it. Perfect ! It tasted better than it looked. Thank you. I will now be ordering from you. No longer going to sub way, Sheetz or country fair. Wish I would have stopped at your store sooner.”
“We only stopped to convert some Cabadian money that we had. They wouldn't exchange it unless we used it to buy something. That worked for us. Who minds buying a Tim Horton's donut?”
“This is a nice mcdonalds and it is one of the only ones who are still 24 hours. With that being said they tend to get very busy and have long lines between 11-2. The employees handle it well though and with a smile pm their faces.”
“I pulled in the drive thru conveniently located on the side of the building at a reasonable hour (3). All I need was a cup of "hot joe" and a morning mcsandwich to start my day.My face was beginning to contort with an angry expression due to the long wait. I screamed and honked a little but calmed down when I decided it ultimately wasn't Ronald's McfaultI got to the box where they ask what you need (hoy joe and sangwich was my order, see above) and as I start barking it the individual working tells me to "hold on" because "someone is spinning" in the lobby??? This has to be an April fool? It wasn't, I checked a calendar.After honking for a few more minutes, I went inside to assess the "twirling terror" that plagued my morning delight. Sure enough, there they were!! A gaunt individual wearing nothing but ragged slippers on their toes and a cardboard box on their abdomen was rotating violently by the soda machine. I gasped loud enough for everyone to hear me. Not everyone looked at me though, so I cleared my throat and did it again. Everyone was just kind of watching so I rolled over to take control myself. Someone (manager???) Pleaded with me to stop, saying the cops were on the way. Yeah right. I yelled "HEY" in my loudest inside voice before ramming the spinner with my wheelchair. We both went through the window and landed under the golden arches...Well. The police DID show up and I HAD TO COME DOWN TO THE STATION AS WELL! APPARENTLY this is how a good deed gets rewarded these days.... I was late to my job at the Soup Mart Distribution Center and my boss suspended me for 6 weeks with no pay. Gonna miss my alimony payment. Ex-wife is PEEVED!”
“I rented the Ballroom for a galaaffair. Julio could not have been more helpful. He was so easy & professional, the food was attractively set up & was delicious! I HIGHLY RECOMMED JULIUS at Maennerchor Plaza as a fabulous venue for any Event! We went for dinner on several occasions, and always left satisfied. Julio offers Jazz in the Pub on Fri & Sat nights with $10 small plates! This is a relaxing way to spend an evening!”
“We loved this place! We came in with a large group and they were on top of us in full force. Not a single one of us left hungry, we all raved about our meals and the prices were extremely reasonable and portions were perfect. The live band really set the move and made for such a great experience we had a fantastic time, we will be recommending this place to all of our friends to visit when they're in town. Thank you for such a great dining experience!!”
“I've tried several of their coffees.. Have never been disappointed... And I'm picky about my job.Have not been to a physical location, so can't speak to that.But I can verify the coffee is a treat.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Had to stop here because of the name! Sometimes I hesitate to stop at small independent coffee shops. Brew Ha Ha did not disappoint. Good sign when there's a line on a Sunday morning. Grabbed a house blend and a caramel latte. Perfect! Plenty of tables and space.”
“Friendly service and delicious food! The General Tso's tofu was excellent!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options were pretty standard for a Chinese restaurant but the food was very tasty and fresh.”
“This place is phenomenal. All of the food is so fresh, the owner is so kind and genuine, I cannot recommend this place enough. The hummus is out of this world! We are so thankful we topped our meal off with turkish coffee & baklava, so worth it.”
“Among the best coffee shops. Anywhere. The steamed milk drinks had good mouth feel. Good selection but lacked afigato. They move the line well. Wifi. Outlets. Decent number of seats. Clean.Dietary restrictions: An entire separated case of gluten free.”
“It's one of those places that the locals know. They can get very busy during normal meal times. I went for a late breakfast, and seating was limited. The meal is worth the wait.”
“Sandwiches are very good. Big and tasty. The soup was. Ok. Chili was to sweet for me. The chicken tortilla soup. Good base taste. Lacking chx and veg. My opinion skip the soup. Stick with the sandwiches”
“There is a reason this is the best reuben in Erie. Order one and you will experience the best. Great atmosphere with a very tentative staff. Highly recommend this place.”
“Definitely a place you should visit at least one time if you're ever in Erie. Unique vibe, used to be a train station and it shows.

All-in-all, The Brewerie at Union Station is quite a unique experience. IF you have not been here, you must visit at least one time!!”
“Parking: There is a lot of security because they have cameras and they also speak your language and also have a security guard, the parking lot is large and close to the avenue, easy to get out, the bathrooms are clean, so you feel at home, the employees They are very attentive and wait for you to decide what you are going to eat. The food is delicious.”
“This place is great! The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is amazing. I fish in the area and love stopping for the two slices of pizza and a drink combo or some meatball sliders for lunch.”
“THE BEST PIZZA EVER! The sauce is so delicious, and the pepperonis were so good! I usually don't care too much for pepperoni, but I found myself grabbing the pieces with more pepperoni on it. We got liquid money chicken wings, and they were amazing!! Usually, I cover my wings in ranch, but I didn't have to because they were so flavorful! I can't wait to be back!”
“Stopped in for a couple of cookies and to reminisce about long ago days in Erie Pa. The young man behind the counter was pleasant, helpful, and very knowledgable about the store's history. (My partner was mistaken about a prior location - it turns out he was thinking of a different bakery entirely.) We bought a chocolate chip cookie which was one of the best I've ever had, and a chocolate butter star which was a bit disappointing (I expected a buttery flavor and did not taste any butter); I had never had this type of cookie before, so perhaps my expectations were not appropriate. I wouldn't hesitate to go back and buy anything (everything!) else. It all looked an smelled SO good!”
“This is a completely different place than when I used to sing there professionally for years! While the old place was absolutely phenomenal and I miss the owner dearly, the new staff is exceptional and the crowd/clientele is amazing! I have yet to try their food but many people were enjoying their food, the drinks were reasonably priced, and there was a wonderful energy in the room. The atmosphere was exceptional, it reminded me of when people used to go to watch live music and there was standing room only. If you want to hear live bands this is the place to go! I'm looking forward to going again and finding out what their food is like!Wheelchair accessibility: This bar is wheelchair accessible, and very open so that any person with a wheelchair can dine and enjoy live music!”
“I visited this Outback as a place to go and watch the solar eclipse. Angie was my waitress and she was great. Very personable, kind, and attentive. The food of course was great (I ordered the ribeye), as it always is at an Outback. The entire staff was wonderful and they all made for a great dining experience.”
“We had a party of four and everyone was pleased. The food was excellent and house salad excellent. Service was spot on. Colaos's, I believe has changed their sauce and it is even better. Prices, except for spaghetti and meatballs for 20 dollars, have increased. We didn't mind given the quality of the food. Cocktails, while pricey (15 per drink) were perfection. Highly recommend for that special night out.”
“I have to come to Erie for work every few months. One of my clients recommended this place and now I stop almost every time I'm in town. Perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine after work and the food is always fantastic. My favorite is the fig and prosciutto pizza. I always sit at the bar so I can't speak for the wait staff, but the bartenders are always very friendly and attentive.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Super fun and cute diner. We are visiting from out of town and were looking for a place to grab brunch before heading home and this place was perfect. Home fries were absolutely delicious, super crisp. You can tell the bread is fresh and homemade. So delicious!! Would highly recommend!”
“Service is fast, food tastes fresh. Place is always packed, very fast service, everything more or less the same, variations of chicken, but in my opinion much better tasting than McDs. Good place. Oh, they have ton of different sauces to choose from, try those. Their original sauce is good.”
“Today I had the best experience and I did a great thing. The worker who took my mom and is order liked my picture. I felt like she needed something good. When she brought us our food she said she loved my picture. I decided to write you matter never forget and it made her day. I can't stop thinking about how happy she was. Her name was Grace. My name is Claire Wojtecki and I am 15”
“I can't speak for inside as I did drive-thru but I can say this location was great. For one, they had very convenient hours. I've only ever seen Arbys open until 10pm so this was awesome as i love their 6 piece nugget kids meal. it's the perfect size meal for me and nowhere else has anything as amazing as the bronco berry sauce; i don't know what i'll do if it's ever discontinued, lol.anyway- i was immediately greeted on the speaker which was very pleasant. when i ordered the staff wanted to let me know that there would be a wait of 5-6 minutes for fresh food when it came to my order and if i was ok with that. i thought it was very nice he asked and i also appreciated having fresh food. at the window the gentleman continued to be awesome and when he presented my food cautioned me on the temperature and to be careful which i thought was really nice. he had amazing manners which is just something that always sticks out to me being in the service/retail industry as well.thank you again! i will definitely remember this location should i be in the area in the future/travelling.”
“It is a treat for me to go to Golden Corral. It's a nice sit down buffet where you can take your time and the food is always restocked and fresh. There are staples like meatloaf, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, etc, but there is always something different each day to try. They have a really nice dessert bar and salad and fruit as well. Waitresses keep your glass filled. I always enjoy myself when I get the opportunity to go to Golden Corral.Wheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of room for wheelchair bound persons at tables and around the buffet area.”
“7 of us all left happy and full, well except the kid who ordered tater tots as their full meal ? The service was great.Don’t use the hand dryer in the bathroom. I didn’t see the sign / wasn’t paying attention and ended up with black soot all over my hands and the lady using the bathroom asking me if something was burning bc it sounded like a fire.”
“It's a super popular place and it was very crowded for a week day night. We stood in line for 20 mins just to place an order. Food came quickly but it was just average. Prices were fair, but I didn't understand the hype.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating, great to let kids run around.”
“I used to go here as a kid some decades ago. So glad it's still around! I take my three year old whenever we're on that side of town and she loves it. I used to work at a DQ as a teenager and I'm happy to see all the classics are still available along with some new treats.”
“Wife, me and two grandkids Went Monday March 11 at 745 pm. Maybe ten customers in the store, with a line in the drive through. Took about twenty minutes from time of order till our three blizzards and a parfait were handed to us, not a deal breaker but sluggish service.In the dining area , all tables were not clean with debris on the floor, again not a deal breaker, but in the 45 minutes to an hour we were there not one attempt was made to clean.Without knowing how busy DQ was or wasn't prior to our arrival and any staffing issues, I'm giving a three star reviewWe live very close and are frequent patrons of this DQ, this trip was disappointing.”
“Every time I have been here was for dine in counter service. The food is always fast, fresh hot! The staff is literally always happy and helpful. The mobile app and coupons make this food as cheap as McDonald's, but so much better! Good job Arby's, I'm lucky I have such a great location not far from home.”
“always super quick delivery! food is pretty much always done correctly, occasionally i'll ask for light ice and it comes full of ice, but that's not a big deal. i order from them once every couple weeks. i keep coming ”
“Wow I got the Seafood Alfredo and it was fabulous. My son got lobster ravioli and said it was delicious. I will definitely be going back. The price was higher, but for food that tasted that good who cares.”
“Thank you to Erie Brewing Co. West for working with me to feed 20 people on the surprise party bus for my husband’s birthday! They accommodated our need for a quick turn-around by letting me pre-order wings set up in the party room. Everything went smoothly and I am grateful to GM Tyler Wigfield for his responsiveness, communications, and for making it all happen. Everyone had a great time!”
“The ham is very consistent and quite good. It makes holiday meals and large gatherings. I haven’t tried other items. When you order one for pickup, remember to get it on time or they will give it away.”
Cheap Eats
“Just went today for the first time and the food was super fresh and delicious. I don't eat beef and pork and they were so accommodating giving me suggestions and so open to replacing things which I usually never even try to ask someone to do. Not only did they help me out with ordering but the chicken was delicious thin and grilled to perfection. I also got the fresh spring rolls and they are some of my favorite foods and they made them so full and fresh. Honestly top tier food. It was cozy and clean and the owner is incredibly nice. 100% recommend don't worry if you've never had Vietnamese food they have a lot of pictures and describe the food in the menu and they also are great at explaining it to you. If you like sweet coffee definitely try out the Vietnamese iced coffee! It has condensed milk and honestly tasted so good. I don't remember the name of the dish I got but it was the number 11 with chicken instead of pork. Super super good and refreshing!Dietary restrictions: SO SO ACCOMODATING TO SWITCH THINGS OUT AND EVEN JUST MAKE THINGS ON THE SPOT WITH DIFFERENT THINGS ON THE MENU CANNOT RECCOMMEND IT ENOUGH. JUST ASK THEY ARE SUPER WELCOMING AND NICE!!!! I have never eaten beef or pork for religious reasons but have always eaten out and have never been received with someone willing to switch things out like this before!”
“It was amazing ! I wish they were open every day! I went there around noon and tried everything! I loved the honey pastries and the chocolate croissant! I recommend getting there early ! I looks like things go fast! Also it’d be nice if they had coffee too!”
“We discovered this place almost at the end of summer and really enjoyed it. We loved the atmosphere and by the end of summer Jackie here knew the place and got so excited whenever we pulled into the parking lot. Everyone loved him and it was a great experience all around.”
“This is definitely another one of Erie's hidden gemsI've discovered this local spot last summer, when I was disappointed with other places for not getting my order right, repeatedly.This tiny icecream shop is owned by 2 lovely owners, Kang & Gary Garnic. They offer homemade ice cream along with various flavor options for Dairy-free/ Gluten-free people as well. I have not had any flavors that I do not like yet, though my favorite is their "Sea salt" ice cream, a nice vanilla ice cream with a little twist of salty taste that is just perfect not to mention the blue color that makes it instagram-worthy).I love their subtly sweet taste that does not scream "There is a bunch of sugar added in here". and it leaves you wanting more after you finish your scoop.There are a couple of tables inside the shop as well as on their small patio. There is parking onsite, though I believe it can be a little challenging if you come on a hot day where everyone else also wants ice cream.I am so glad they are here. Definitely one more reason to love Erie❤️”
“Thank you Oasis Pub staff and owners for accomodating our fund raising event a few weeks ago! You have been more than helpful to provide a fun atmosphere with great food, drinks and people!! Everything ran so smooth and it was a huge turnout!”
“Visited Erie for the Eclipse and Rex Brothers was an awesome unexpected stop! Fantastic treats for a great price and the owners are awesome dudes. Would highly recommend stopping by if you are in Erie.”
“Wonderful environment, killer staff, and great drinks. Alex and Alex are not only the best bartenders but always make you feel like you're surrounded by friends. I have to be gluten free and they have a few options for me. Nikki and Hailey have gone as far as to have seltzers available for me at their festivals. The only thing that I could see making this better would be a gluten free pizza crust. Definitely the best brewery in Erie!”
“Wow! Tricia the bartender is super helpful from menu choices to drink options to letting us know about Summer events coming up. She’s really on top of it. We tried an app today. The pub chips! They are bangin’! That Buffalo dipping sauce is yummy too! We LOVE that it is smoke free. We stopped going there cause it was smoking and we would reek after just a drink or two but NOT today!!! The only thing we smelled like was yummy,Hot,Fresh food that kitchen was pumping out. Did you know they have a small banquet hall for parties??? We didn’t either but she informed us about that too. NICE NICE NICE!”

This is a true mom and pop place and the counter is a must to experience the atmosphere and conversation with those at the counter and behind. Might have been the best BLT I've had in long time. Truly enjoyed the experience from entry to exit.”

“Fun environment with a huge beer selection. It’s the kind of bar where you can meet old friends and make new ones every visit. Clean and comfortable place. You can order food from John’s Wildwood to eat in or carry out too. Family friendly and in good weather dogs are warmly welcomed!”
“Food was amazing service was a bit slow atmosphere is really cool it's a must stop if your into good food and drinks along 20's 30's decor. Just be ready to not be checked on often. Server was attentive when she did come to table but waited awhile after done eating. Let's see if the walk around has any spooky surprises lol.”
“Met friend for happy hour. Always liked the ambiance of firebirds and they have a really welcoming bar area. Bartenders are good and make fine drinks. Happy hour is a good time to go there. Good prices and specials. Ordered the nachos. Nice price. Food was ok. Nothing spectacular but the drinks helped. Will have to check out the HH again. Recommended.”
“The accessible room was just what we needed. I had called the hotel directly to book this special room, and I hoped it would be available for us- and it was. The room was spacious and clean. The roll in shower was just what we needed. WE appreciate Dwayne who helped us outside when our key would not open the side door. He was very kind! Thank you to everyone who made our stay so special. We will return!”
“Best run red lobster I have been to in a long time me and my wife are from geneva but we were in town for dinner today I was im impressed with our waitress jessica and her trainee”
“In the mall food court. Veggie option to keep the piggies, cows, and chickens alive. The lemonade was yummy.Vegetarian options: Veggie option not listed on menu, a quick google search let me know they had one.”
“For our anniversary, we wanted to try someplace that haven't been to lately and we decided on Ricardo's because they were known for some great food and especially steaks. Although it was Tuesday, we decide to make a reservation and that turned out to be a good idea because there was a good crowd there. We both did have the steak - the filet - and they were very good, as was the entire meal and the service was just as good. Everything came out exactly when it should - piping hot and delicious. We had a great meal and the bill was less than I expected, which means a lot these days. I think that we'll be heading back soon.”
“Chicken fajita and bean beanie quesadilla dinner fantastic . The Pennsytucky tofu, the warm cheesy bean dip, and guacamole are excellent and would recommend for appetizers . Good beer selection and good drinks .McKenzie provides the great service today, however all the services here are helpful and really take care of you .”
“Tried it for the first time this evening for dinner. It was delicious, friendly, and we received our food at a good amount of time. We did the all you can eat but it’s not a buffet. The food is made fresh! You can get sushi, appetizers, main entrees, desserts, soups. I’ll definitely go there again”
“Had a wonderful dinner. Brian was our waiter and he made us feel welcomed. We had the filet and pappardelle noodles and beef. Excellent. The lone distraction of the evening was having to walk through a smoke filled casino floor to get to the restaurant.”
“Went to dinner with friends while at the convention center. When you walk inside, you could be on the shore of Lake Erie or some little coastal mom and pop place! I got the fried perch and chips which was amazing. The fish was so light and flakey with a crispy beer battered coating. My colleague got the blackened walleye with mashed potatoes all was cooked perfectly! The young lady waiting on us gave us great advice when choosing our dishes. Our glasses never sat empty.”
“The waitress Janna was nice & informative since it was my first time being there. The steak melts in your mouth. I highly recommend going there for a special occasion or just to eat some good food. Good gathering place. I met Bob.”
“The food, Not at all like I thought it would beAll scramble together and put on top of pasta for 3 people to eat.I will try again to see if I can get it done my wayReturn to give them another chance.The food all came out hot and the wait was short. My meal was better and I had to take half of it home. I ate to much of the appetizer. A better experience this time. I will be back.Kid-friendliness: Waitress was good to our child”

“I found Jade Garden originally when I moved to Erie in 2012. It is so close to where I live and right beside a Dollar Tree. Very convenient. I am particular about certain kinds of Chinese food and have been very happy with what Jade Garden offers. Their Chicken Chow Mein and egg rolls are my favorite in Erie. They have terrific Lo Mein as well and a very inexpensive menu. Their service is very fast, but accurate. The food is fresh and I have never received an incomplete order. For your money and good quality food I recommend Jade Garden.”
“Every time we go up to Erie, we also get Avanti's atleast once, sometimes even more. The place usually has a crowd because it is such a great place. The staff are very friendly and just overall plays a huge role in the dynamic of a cute family owned diner. My bf loves the meatball omelet and I also try a new item every time I go and have never been disappointed!”
“Had a recommended (from a vague description of what I had in mind) drink that turned out to be really close to what I wanted and some really good fries. Went in a second time that day.It was the eclipse and so they were super busy but everything was nice and orderly and everyone was having a nice time. The staff were very busy but doing a great job of keeping it together.”

“Our favorite local shop, we visit weekly to get our popcorn fix. Always rotating new and unique flavors. Friendly staff and generous samples. If you're visiting Erie you have to stop here! ?”
“The Cakery seriously has the best Avocado Toast. ? Great service and wonderful atmosphere. It is one of my favorite Erie local places to grab coffee ☕️ and breakfast.”
“I have been coming to Oliver's for a few years now. It's just about some of the best food in Erie with some of the best views of the bay! This place gets slammed on holidays and during special events, so reservations are recommended. The service here is generally pretty good. We have always had knowledgeable wait staff and friendly bartenders. Their drink sizes and flavors have certainly changed over the last year. Right now they want you to pay $17 for a blackberry margarita that is NOT fresh whatsoever. It is a mix and the flavor is just not there. The regular margarita is the same flavor, only for $9. This needs to change, pronto. Please add more options with mezcal and Prosecco. You should be on par with other fine dining restaurants around the country! The food is always excellent. I have had the pork chop, steak and souvlaki salad on my most recent visits. The waffle dessert is a sure fire favorite and my husband never lets me share his :) A great ending to a fine meal. We'll always return to Oliver's, but would love to see some new menu items and also a tweak of the drink menu.”
“The pizza here is so good! We also tried the Nashville chicken and it was really good also! The service was friendly and I was amazed at how fast the guy made pizzas. He was quick and efficient at his job!”
“The few times I’ve been here in the past, the portions were on the smaller side for the price but today, it’s a noticeable difference on the portion so hopefully this keeps up hence the review and I’ll be more than happy to come back a few times every week.”
“Just went today for the first time and the food was super fresh and delicious. I don't eat beef and pork and they were so accommodating giving me suggestions and so open to replacing things which I usually never even try to ask someone to do. Not only did they help me out with ordering but the chicken was delicious thin and grilled to perfection. I also got the fresh spring rolls and they are some of my favorite foods and they made them so full and fresh. Honestly top tier food. It was cozy and clean and the owner is incredibly nice. 100% recommend don't worry if you've never had Vietnamese food they have a lot of pictures and describe the food in the menu and they also are great at explaining it to you. If you like sweet coffee definitely try out the Vietnamese iced coffee! It has condensed milk and honestly tasted so good. I don't remember the name of the dish I got but it was the number 11 with chicken instead of pork. Super super good and refreshing!Dietary restrictions: SO SO ACCOMODATING TO SWITCH THINGS OUT AND EVEN JUST MAKE THINGS ON THE SPOT WITH DIFFERENT THINGS ON THE MENU CANNOT RECCOMMEND IT ENOUGH. JUST ASK THEY ARE SUPER WELCOMING AND NICE!!!! I have never eaten beef or pork for religious reasons but have always eaten out and have never been received with someone willing to switch things out like this before!”
“I'm so thankful for this restaurant and the people who run it. My experiences with their services and the food have positively added to my life during a time I needed it most! Will continue to support this local business as much as I can. I love that they opened up in this particle area which desperately lacks cultural and nutritional influence. I love sharing this gem with the people in my life. I appreciate the quality and variety of foods they offer. Above and beyond.”
“Omg! This hidden place! Love it! Owners are always nice and foods are fantastic. Especially, noodle with garlic and soy sauce!!! Idk how they make it taste so good.”

“Was clean, neat. A lot of nostalgic things to look at. Fun seeing some old time things & remembering some of the them. Some things in the gift shop a little higher priced than i thought they should be. There were a lot of nostalgic candy that is hard to find.”
“It is a treat for me to go to Golden Corral. It's a nice sit down buffet where you can take your time and the food is always restocked and fresh. There are staples like meatloaf, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, etc, but there is always something different each day to try. They have a really nice dessert bar and salad and fruit as well. Waitresses keep your glass filled. I always enjoy myself when I get the opportunity to go to Golden Corral.Wheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of room for wheelchair bound persons at tables and around the buffet area.”
“Our first time there and we loved it! The staff was all quite young, but did an excellent job, very polite and knowledgeable.

We will be back!!Parking: Numerous handicapped spots which is greatly appreciated.”

“Service is fast, food tastes fresh. Place is always packed, very fast service, everything more or less the same, variations of chicken, but in my opinion much better tasting than McDs. Good place. Oh, they have ton of different sauces to choose from, try those. Their original sauce is good.”

“7 of us all left happy and full, well except the kid who ordered tater tots as their full meal ? The service was great.Don’t use the hand dryer in the bathroom. I didn’t see the sign / wasn’t paying attention and ended up with black soot all over my hands and the lady using the bathroom asking me if something was burning bc it sounded like a fire.”

“Really enjoying the place after the complete remodel. Service is always good and quick and the food made to order comes out fresh and hot. The Italian combo toasted sub and a cold pint of Yuengling can't be beat. Trendy place with live sports on large screens everywhere. Think I'll go again tonight.”

Our food came out in a timely manner and tasted great, as always!Kid-friendliness: I've brought my kids on several occasions, and have had nothing but positive experiences.
