The dining area is a little claustrophobic but the food was 10/10 and the servers were super attentive and friendly. Sent off an entire turkey Ruben (? It had a different name because it has coleslaw instead of sour Kraut) in less the five minutes

Love the place. it just depends on which day you end up going. If you hit it, the right service is amazing ?. I am in LOVE with their marinade steak salad with a small fried breaded cauliflower.

I had takeout this time, the fried Haddock dinner came with fries also a side salad with roll, it's a great place to dine in too, love the atmosphere there, service is always top notch and the food is very good, something for everyone, there's also a bar on the other side of the restaurant and it's equipped with tables so you can order your meal from there and eat it in the bar area. In my opinion I think anyone would be happy with any of the menu selections, I've selected a few based on what I've had there.

I love this local hot spot. Been alot of years since I've been able to go. Tonight it was a plan from my son who loves the rueben., to meet his girlfriend and daughter. I called to make sure no changes were made and no reservations needed. Short wait at door upon arriving. Got seated and seen a reserved table for alot. Got our drinks, then our orders in. Salads rolls and appetizers came, over an hour later, we received our meals. The table reserved was served their entire meals before ours. We were told many times it would be out and there was mix up in kitchen. I don't know how an entire table of at leat 14 got their food before 4 of us at 20 mins atheist apart ordering. The food was amazing. Great place to eat still. I hope next time is even better. P.s. best sweet tater fries in the world !

Food is always hot delicious and proportions challenge your capacity... !Among many, one super dish I've had there is the braised pork shank.They must have known a day in advance I was going to order this because, served on a luscious bed of mashed potatoes, the meat is so so tender!Seasoned to perfection, it's plate looks like you can finish it, I just barely conquered it.Fresh dinner salad and rolls accompanying the meal too.Thanks out to Kevin and crew.Parking: Well, Shane operates a non-stop dinner hour which requires non-stop parking rotation. Like every Erie hot spot you just have to show up and see if there's a line of fellow diners and a short walk always gets you in the door!

We ordered the hot roast beef sandwiches. Was like stepping back in time to my childhood when I'd go there with my parents.

The parmesan crusted fish was very good. The food could have been hotter. The waitress kept my coffee cup filled which is always a plus.
