“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.“

The owner and staff were very accommodating and the service was delightful. To end the night, we went to the bar area for karaoke and everyone had a blast. The DJ was amazing and the atmosphere was so fun!“

“We've eaten at Eat-n Park as a group of 13 for several years now after Sunday Mass. Our favorite waitress has been and continues to be Jackie.“

“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!)“

“Delicious food & we had a wonderful server!“

“Absolutely amazing service and food! We had reservations for a party of 14 on one of the busiest nights and they were phenomenal!!! Food was by far the best we have had in a while! Highly recommend!“

“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!!“

“We were up from Canada. Looking for a place with live music. Band was excellent! Gypsy Heart was the name. Sounded great. Classic rock! Good atmosphere. As long as ypur okay with smoking inside the bar. Prices were good! Recomend giving it a try!“

“very good food and drinks will go back.“

“I don't think I can ever eat here again that Nina robot is a b**** I'm so sad that the humans died and now a kill a robot answers your phone“

“I recommend it . If you Haven’t tried it . Give it a chance“

“Love the atmosphere and the repurposed space/ building. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was average, the burger was decent but the Kick’n Chicken sandwich was not very spicy. They have alot of drink options, including mocktails.“

“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 ♥️♥️♥️“

“Yo! Stopped in 10-3-25 had bangin food! Sean you Rock!! And your bartender is amazing!! Thanks for everything!! Much love!“

“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“

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

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

“Homemade food! Just had a fantastic spaghetti and meatball special. The meatballs were huge and you could immediately tell they were homemade. It is difficult to find restaurants that aren't just serving the same frozen food. Friendly staff. Recommend!“

“Was in Erie visiting family for the holidays and they recommended we stop at Rosco’s for the Steelers game. We were not disappointed! TV’s everywhere and they were doing a half-time challenge and we won a $40 gift card. Can’t beat that!“

“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.“

“The wings are the best in town hands down. One of the few places you can still get a pitcher of beer. ❤️ Park Tav!“

“You guys did a great job for the Saint Pats parade. Totally appreciate you all. Thank you.☘️☘️“

“great food and service 💯✔️“

“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.“

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

“The bloody Mary’s on Sunday are the best in town! Food is amazing and great staff“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal! Went last night for a girls night out and everything from the service to the food to the immense wine list and wines on tap were top notch! I don’t have a single negative thing to say, and we will be back! (I 100% recommend the charcuterie board- yum!) 🧀 🥰🍷“

“Highly recommend OOTGC. They have quick customer service and excellent coffee. The coffee , teas and coffee beans are so good. It’s the best coffee I have ever had and it makes for great gifts for family and friends.“
