“giselle is my server and she’s the best, super nice and friendly, there’s really good food and overall a nice place.“

“Keep up the hard work! Outstanding food and service, See ya's tonight!“

“So we had a 8:30 reservation and they were semi busy but only had a 5 minute wait , that was great.First the positives … the food was great , all of it . The seafood medley I highly recommend.The sunset made for an awesome show and lasting atmosphere. The table we were sat in although a great view was by the sever station and repeatedly my chair was kicked or bumped by passing servers, and not one excuse me or apology. Upon Delivering our order one of the lobster tails fell off the plate to the floor while the server was attempting to place the plate. We had to wait an additional 8 minutes for another. This wasn’t a huge deal but it disrupted a very expensive meal and I expect better . I also will point out during the 1.5 hour stay our water was never once filled nor were we asked . Again I expect better from a $240 experience!!! The waiter also brought the bday candle then stated he was staying to make sure no one was burned , we witnessed this from no one else . Weird !!! We were given 2 deserts for the lobster issue and that was good business , so overall a decent experience the food and atmosphere made up for the sub par service !“

“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!! 😁“

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

“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.“

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

“I can’t remember the young lady that checked me in perhaps Lauren or Laurel. Either way she was one of the kindest, most pleasant people I’ve ever met at a hotel front desk. Excellent job kudos to her for an incredible disposition.“

“We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at the Sloppy Duck in October. We had the private room upstairs for our buffet styled dinner and drinks with a beautiful view of the bayfront. 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.“

“Went for 70th birthday. What a mistake. Will never go back again. Wifes food was cold and not what she ordered. Mine was greasy didnt look anything like the picture and was more like a childs serving. Whats up Applebee's. Your not looking good. Would have a better meal at burger King.“

“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.“

“Delicious food & we had a wonderful server!“

“The shrimp wasn't cooked inside the breaded crust and I got sick 🤢 I told the waitress but idk if the cook will fix the issue,so just be careful when eating shrimp and I also said to have my hamburger well done and the cook didn't 🤦🏽‍♀ I'm on vacation and sick and stuck in the room 😢“

“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!!“

“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“

“We have frequented here a few times. Tonight we came for food and a place to relax. Great choice. They had two gentlemen’s performing live. They both had amazing voices and laid back cover choices. The crowd was mixed and very relaxed. I had zero over stimulation issues here. Food was good. We ordered buffalo chicken dip it had pickled celery in it. Which I’m def copying the recipe at home now. This is a new date spot in our rotation. The girls were busy and kept up with great service.“

“great food with a nice atmosphere just stopped in for the 1st time with the family. will definitely be back.“

“I decided to stop by Applebee's Grill + Bar to grab some late-night comfort food after a long day of driving, and it was a perfectly satisfying experience. The restaurant has that classic, familiar neighborhood grill layout with plenty of booths and televisions tuned to sports around the bar area. I opted for their half-price appetizer special and ordered a plate of spinach and artichoke dip alongside some boneless buffalo wings. The food arrived at my table surprisingly fast, and everything was hot, fresh, and tasted exactly as dependable as always. The bartender was also incredibly friendly and efficient, keeping my drink filled and checking in just the right amount despite a busy late-night crowd. My only complaint was that the dining room was freezing cold due to the blasting air conditioning, which made it a little uncomfortable to sit and linger. Overall, it is a great, reliable neighborhood option when you want a casual meal and good drink specials late into the evening.“

“Rustic atmosphere. It can be pretty loud when it's busy. I love the steak salad, and the corn on the cob,smothered chicken and sirloin steak My daughter loves their brussel sprouts and all the entrees j mentioned too. We went for father's day it was a busy day . Our server was polite and professional. My husband enjoyed his steak. My daughters steak was a little overcooked but they quickly made another with an additional order of the brussel sprouts she loves.“

“Everything about this place was spot on! I dare you to find a better burger! (I had a Strike Out) and I double dog dare you to find a better wait staff. So accommodating, engaging and fun! And meeting the owner just sealed the deal for us! Great guy ! We come to Erie several times a year and I’m so glad we found this little gem! It is permanently in our rotation now!!“

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

“We attended the BBQ Festival in Kinston, NC, and purchased OOTG’s Bourbon Pecan coffee! It smelled so good and tasted even better the next morning. I highly recommend them if you are a coffee lover.“

“We had a large group of 9 people and everyone enjoyed their meals and beers. The service was excellent. All of the food came out together and it was hot and tasty. We liked that you could order 5oz pours of beer and also that the bar offered more than just beer.“

“great food and service 💯✔️“

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

“This place was so cute! It was right on the water, you could dock your boat and have full access right there. Plenty of seating outside and the bartender came and checked for drinks which was nice. We didn’t get any food but drinks were really good!“

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

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

“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 eat lunch here multiple times a week and it never gets old. I’m a full-on chicken wing addict, and these are hands down some of the best wings I’ve had anywhere.

Beyond the food, the staff is what really makes HH a special place. They’ve truly become friends over time, and it’s one of those places where you always feel genuinely welcomed.

Great food and amazing people!!“
