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)“

“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.“

“We came there for my grandson‘s birthday and there is about 11 of us. I ordered a hamburger but it wasn’t the right burger I ordered. I was going to eat it anyway cause I didn’t feel like waiting. The manager came over. Her name is Alyssa and went and cooked me a new burger And was so very nice to our table. I can’t thank her enough! She knew I was unhappy with the burger by our waitress. That’s what you call a very good manager. I was very impressed by her.“

“Good food. Great service Beautiful view. 2nd time there and we will go back.“

“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!“

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

“Awesome! Highly recommended!!“

“It has been awhile since I dined here due to moving out of state but so glad I came back recently. Two of us had very good, very filling and hot meals. Service was great, prices were good and portions were great. We ordered a Philly steak platter and a crunchy shrimp platter (Lent menu) with unlimited fries!! Can't wait to return!“

“On our tour of America we came to this steakhouse because of the good reviews, which were confirmed. At first there was a 25 minute wait. Then the 4 of us got a table after just 5 minutes. Great atmosphere, not too loud. The waitress was friendly, but she could have guided us, not quite "steak-savvy Germans", through the extensive menu. The food was very tasty, freshly prepared and the price-performance ratio was more than good.
Highly recommended! Thank you for the lovely evening here!“

“I ordered the Fisherman's platter which comes with 2 sides. The sides I chose were a side salad and a baked potato. I received my salad and the platter was very good...perfectly crispy and perfect temperature. It was very good. Service was fine. It wasn't until I got home - and I don't know why this popped into my head - but I realized I didn't get my baked potato! And I hadn't even noticed I never got my potato either while I was eating. I was disappointed as I love a baked potato.“

“We recently had our annual Christmas party for our Lady Jr. Otters hockey team at Rosco's.
The service was great, the food was great. It was the perfect location and the girls couldn't have had a better time!.Our server Kaylee was amazing!!
Highly recommend Rosco's for your next party!!“

“Friendly atmosphere. Good food. Great view.“

“How rare it is to find, as a stranger passing through town, a welcoming bar with great food. This place was exactly that. The bartenders were friendly, and the burger was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. I’ll stop here whenever I’m in the area.“

“Good food to the point that I have a difficult time deciding what to get every time. So glad they are open for lunch again on weekdays! A little loud, but it's a bar, so no big surprise there. Service is usually good and portions are fairly priced. If bar food is your comfort food, Plymouth Tavern checks all the boxes.“

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

“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 ♥️♥️♥️“

“My spouse and I had an absolutely phenomenal dining experience at NYL on East Avenue! Gus and his Mom were so gracious and took time to talk with us. The food is out of this world -- Excellent!“

“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“

“Good food & good ice cream!“

“The main dishes are always the best! Never have to send them back ever! But the combo appetizer is touch and go with the Mozz sticks being cold and the chips for the artichoke dip being stale. We love the atmosphere, it's always quiet and pleasant. Our servers are always polite and take great care of us. We will be returning.“

“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.“

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

“The atmosphere is uniquely cool. It's worth checking out if you're in town.

The booths are great if you can get one. Cool Koehler advert section towards the entrance.

Beer is good. Food is fine, but go mostly for the beer and atmosphere and you'll have a good time. Even the bathrooms are cool.

Parking is metered parking through quarters or an app (check to see what time you're parking, as it's free at certain times in the evening / Sunday I think).

Use the entrance on the right for the entrance and follow the signs. They have lots of events. It's a big place, so sometimes certain sections are fully blocked off, but usually one is available.“

“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!“

“Decent beer selection, reasonable prices and great service. Kid-friendly restaurant. We ordered the steak fiesta flatbread, stromboli and bacon/Swiss burger and all were delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Kid menu provided with crayons. High chair provided. Lots of booths for family seating and prices are decent so it's easy to share additional meals with kids.“

“Saturday night 12 August we had our Holy Rosary alumni get together for all who attended. Attendees from the 1950s through the 1990s. A wonderful get together for people to catch up with old friends and make new ones. I have had several parties at the colony. The folks at the colony are so wonderful to work with and the food was complimented by many in attendance. Everyone commented on the event and the colony. I you are looking for a place to have a gathering take a look at the colony. kind Regards Joe McGill MD“

“The new bar staff are all very nice! Big improvement.Dan is so dreamy. Food good as always.“

“Best wings I have ever had! They have such a variety and great prices! BBQ wings are to die for!“

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

“My girlfriend ordered the Philly and it was, in her words, "amazing". My son got the pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries, and cleaned his plate. Nuff said. All I got was the chicken fingers, but they were impressive. The service was awesome. I will absolutely be coming back!“

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