We were all impressed and will recommend everyone to this lovely place and hope they get her as a server(I’m sure all the servers are great just never had one as caring and compassionate as her)“

“Efficient, friendly, clean & great food. Nothing but great things to say about Shirley’s!“

“I want to give a huge shout out to the workers at Panos on Sunday morning. We had more people then anticipated for breakfast and they accommodated us with ease and professionalism. It turned from 15 to 29 people! Waitresses kept calm, everything ran smoothly and was a pleasure to be served with such grace. Thank you!! 😁“

“My God, just ate the BEST chicken I've ever ate HANDS DOWN!!! Thank you Mark for introducing me to Tha Flavor!! I'll be back guaranteed!!“

“I went on a Sunday during a trip to Erie because this restaurant came recommended from several web searches and I was not disappointed. I went with my wife and two teenaged daughters. We had a BBQ chicken pizza, a burrito, and a chicken cordon bleu wrap. We all enjoyed our food. Beware that the most convenient parking is along the street (I have no problem with that but some may have difficulty). There is plenty of room to eat inside. I recommend it.“

“Always good food and they have the drive thru thing down to a science.“

“delicious meal ! great service and atmosphere. fair pricing, and the $4 margaritas where fab!“

“Honestly I didn’t know what to expect when going here, but I was pleasantly surprised by it.

There’s actually a drive through, I suppose which comes in handy especially if you have ordered ahead. I got there at a weird time so I still don’t really know the vibe or community it attracts, but it seems to cater to families. There is a kids playground indoors which is very cool for parents who need a little break once in a while.

The food they recommended was the Mac and cheese with pulled pork bbq, which was delicious and hearty with not only a large portion for a small price, but it comes with dishwasher and microwave safe containers.

I just had half a portion and really enjoyed it! Now I just need to see if my Erie family like the other purchases I made too. :)

I did have to wait about 10 minutes for the a new batch of Mac and cheese, but that was a quick wait.“

“Rooms are great. Amenities are ample. Pool, Jacuzzi, Workout Room. Full service bar & restaurant.“

“Nice hotel! Beautiful view“

“Such a cool establishment! Great service and good food at a more than fair price. The ducks, Mo and MissMo are cool.“

“Just left the dinor for our Sunday breakfast. We love the food and the staff. This is a must try place!“

“Fun place! love the nostalgia....AND the chicken tortilla soup...AND the cookies...AND, AND, AND!!!! lol“

“Thank you The Cork 1794 for the BEST time today! Service was absolutely amazing, the food was delicious and Elsa was beyond perfect and made my daughter the happiest girl! Face Painting by Connie LLC is always the cherry 🍒 on top! Thank you thank you thank you! ❄️ Elsa brunch was beyond magical 🌟“

“First of all, I don’t know where Braedon and Wheels came from, but keep them at all cost! I listen to other staff interactions with guest and everyone seems pretty thorough. It’s quite refreshing actually! I came in for lunch at about 2 o’clock and ordered the chicken skillet with the bourbon glaze and it was amazing! My son had the deluxe chicken sandwich and he scraped the plate. Crazy work! Anyways, I can’t wait to come back again! This was a pretty dope experience!
PS I don’t know who they got on the aux, but they snapping on that too! Playlist fire!“

“unfortunately, Sara's keeps on disappointing me. I loved this place. the oversimplified menu and change in ingredients leaves little to be desired. my visit today left me with an incorrect order. and even though it was their mistake, I had to go back to the register outside to reorder and pay again. all while holding my other order and 2 little kids. after I told the worker that this was a horrible way to treat a customer, she smirked and told me very sarcastically to have a good day. my gift card couldn't be honored because they don't have the scanners anymore, and my food had everything that I didnt want on it. do better.“

“I cannot be as thankful for great people like those at the Erie Applebee's. We had a family emergency right after we placed our food, they helped us get out the door with our appetizer (which we ate in the car while speeding home, and it was fantastic!)“

“First time here. I'll admit I forgot to take menu pictures. Seated really fast. Parking was plentiful. It was busy but it wasn't loud or felt crowded at all. Waitress was good. Could have shown up more than the usual drinks, order, food, bill. Food came out fast. My problem with the food was that it was just ok. Not great. Not spectacular. Not bad. Just ok. You're run of the mill middle. My burger was fine. Mashed potatoes were fluffy but box. Chicken steak was just ok. I did pay less than if I went to olive garden or something similar. But I would come back again. I don't always want great. Sometimes middle of the road hits better. This time, it did.“

“Our first time at Doc Holliday’s and pleased to find the food and service were both great. A wide and varied menu. The only caveat, you having to be willing to put up with smoking or the lingering effects of those who do. Otherwise, a nice place!“

“Great portions and great value. Our waitress did an excellent job.“

“First time at the Oasis tiki bar. Danielle waited on us and she is fantastic. She has a great personality and service was great. We will be back.“

“Love this place...Darcy is the "Best"“

“My husband and I tried for the first time and had a wonderful experience! The food was fabulous, the service was awesome! Atmosphere was perfect! We will definitely be back ♥️♥️♥️“

“Delicious food & we had a wonderful server!“

“Friendly atmosphere. Good food. Great view.“

“Wonderful experience! Our server, Chloe was warm and attentive. We shared the burrata and calamari appetizers and a wedge salad. The portions were more than generous and everything was delicious. The view on the patio was amazing, highly recommend!!“

“Beautiful historic train station with a brewery and delicious food. Parking was a little difficult to find. Walking through the door was well worth it. This place takes you back to the old days. Your mind starts to wonder and you can imagine the hustle and bustle of all the people. Such a cool place!“

“Great local bar woth great people and great music!“

“Wow !! Everything I have ordered has been delivered and amazing !! Highly recommend“

“We frequently visit this restaurant on Wednesdays, and I always ensure to tip generously. However, during my recent visit, my wife ordered the new chicken skillet dinner. When she inquired about the quantity of waffle fries, the manager, Mindy, responded that they couldn’t provide more, stating that it was only fries. Notably, the advertisement prominently features a plate full of waffle fries. Despite the server’s apology for Mindy’s rude behavior, which I believe was unnecessary, I felt that the disparity between the advertised quantity and the actual amount served was unacceptable.

Edited we are back after the GM called and everything was delicious!! I tried the new bangin burger highly recommend“

“Super good homemade food, pleasant atmosphere outstanding customer service. If you've never had breakfast there go now!“

“This is one of our favorite chain restaurants. We have eaten here many, many times over the years. We have NEVER had a problem with food or service (or at least one that ruined our dining experience).
Today, our server, Corey was absolutely an on-point server!!! He was attentive to our needs without being stalkerish. We had an appetizer of chicken wraps. I had the Lemon Chicken and my hubby had a ribeye. I will only have a salmon dinner at Longhorn, but I just had salmon at home. The Lemon Chicken was sooo delicious. So much flavor, juicy, and tender. Also, you have to try the Brussel sprouts. They’re addicting. Always enjoy this affordable chain restaurant.“

“Go every Monday for their special on wings. 75c wings is a pretty hard price to beat nowadays with inflation! They have dart boards and a pool table, which are almost always open. Kendra is a great waitress and is always down to have a great conversation with us!“

“Just got their food two days in a row! The steak salad, pizza, cheeseburger and Chipotle Blue Burger! Delicious and great quality! Friendly staff! This will certainly become a regular!“

“always treated like family. the lunch is always the tastiest and the drinks are great. I've been a member for several years and although I only live in this area for half of the year,,,, the memories of the staff always remembers what you drink. a place with out the drama. I belong to a few different clubs and prefer the SAC over and above all the rest.“

“Kabryena was amazing. I came in with 7 ppl and she had a full bar on top of a party in the corner… she rocked it. Kept a great attitude as a manager of a bar I was very impressed w her and her personality while being busy. I’d defiantly come back especially if she was working“

“Cali’s has solid food options and one of the only kitchens still open late. Always excited for greens on a menu, great service too. Don’t miss the Thai chili sauce.“

“Stopped by for dinner tonight with the family for our first visit ever. All four of us were VERY happy we chose to eat here! The food was DELICIOUS!! Two cheeseburgers one with fries one with onion petals, prime rub sub and chicken broccoli alfredo, it was all amazing! We left with boxes of leftovers because the servings were bigger than our appetite! We will return for sure! Our waitress was the best too and made for a great experience! The entire staff seemed attentive and cleared away dishes and got refills if they saw the need. 10/10 would absolutely recommend“

“I love coaches, very nice cooks and bartenders! Food amazing overall everything great!“

“Best wings in town! Always friendly staff and great drinks!“
