“One of my favorite places to eat in Erie! The staff is so kind and the food is delicious. I really appreciate the vegan options that are clearly marked on the menu, and I always look forward to their vegan special each week! Always my go-to spot, and each time I go, I like it even better than the last.”

3 Nostrovia Brewing Co.

4.9 Superb 76 Reviews

4415 East Lake Road, Erie

“We have been going to Nostrovia since they opened, and we make it a point to go at least 2-3 times a month. The beer list is changing out frequently and always has an option for everybody. Not a beer drinker, no worries because there are options for the non-beer drinkers as well. They always have a cider on tap, frozen drinks in the summer, a mule (compliments of luminary) and sometimes a seltzer is available too. The food is simple, but the taste is incredible! We have never been disappointed here. Not to mention the staff have always been extremely kind and gracious to their guests. Thank you to catering to those of us who come with kiddos with the “busy bee” kits and hot dog meals!! This is beyond appreciated from 2 parents who still want to come and enjoy the place with our 2 year old! Cannot recommend this quaint little brewery enough!”

8 Erie Beer Company

4.2 Good 30 Reviews

1341 Liberty Street, Erie

“It was a very quick and easy drop for me here. But most of all the address is kinda confusing so truckers follow your GPS here but right before the low hanging bridge take a left on that little drive way and do not turn right. The docks are in the back and the check in is at the glass doors before you get to the end of the building. There is a white bell button kinda up high on the right. There's is sign showing we're to push. Good backing for the docks. Good luck guys!”

“Absolutely 5 stars for John Russel’s Brewing Company! The food was superb—everything came out piping hot, fresh, and cooked to absolute perfection. The portions and quality were fantastic, especially for the great pricing. You definitely feel like you’re getting your money’s worth here. But the real standout of our experience was our waitress, Georgia. She was AMAZING! From start to finish, Georgia was incredibly prompt, attentive, friendly, and on top of absolutely everything. We never had to wonder where our server was or wait around needing something—she paid attention to every little detail and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. You can tell Georgia genuinely cares about the people she serves and takes pride in doing her job exceptionally well. She has the kind of personality and work ethic that can completely elevate a dining experience. John Russel’s is lucky to have her—she is truly a pillar of their staff and deserves recognition for how phenomenal she is! Amazing service, delicious food, great prices, and an all-around wonderful experience. If you go, ask for Georgia—you’ll be in excellent hands! We will absolutely be back!”

10 The Trackside Beer Garden

3.8 Good 23 Reviews

123 West 14th Street, Erie

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“First off this place is neat. Being run inside an old train station is just something you don’t see and makes it so much “warmer” inside. We had some of the craft sodas which were good, and for food we had the fried pierogis, The Pittsburger and The Train Wreck. The pierogis were good, the burger was really good, but the Train Wreck was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’d drive 500 miles to eat this sandwich again. The fries were really good and all off us were stuffed. If I ever come through Erie again this is the first place I’m stopping.”

“This is regarding the location inside Turfway Park Racing and Gaming in Florence Kentucky.. Husband and I wanted to come out and watch the band that was there this past Saturday night. Apparently they have a new table service 'rule' in effect. if I understand it correctly, in order to sit at a table and watch the band which doesn't start until 9:30 or later, you MUST order $50 worth of food and or drinks. After the 2 hours that you are there, if you want to stay longer, they will charge you an additional $50. Who are they to tell people how much they must spend on food and drinks? We stood outside of the railing actually in the casino and watched the band for the 1st set.. We saw a couple sitting at a small round table in front of us only order two alcoholic beverages the whole time they were there.. so you are telling me that you expect two people to sit at your table and if they are not ordering food, you expect them to spend $50 on alcohol in order to sit at the table? Unless I am misunderstanding,,, needless to say, we will never ever step foot inside of this restaurant to eat or drink.”
