“Went in for brunch today with a group of 25 people (day after wedding brunch). We made a reservation, got there and everything was good to go. Our server was amazing. Got everyone’s drink and food orders quickly and accurately. Food was out in no time. Several employees helped run all the food out and was great to see teamwork like that. All the drinks and food were great and made correctly. Price was very reasonable. I never expect things to be perfect when going somewhere with a group that size because it’s a lot of stress added to an already busy place, but they definitely were more than capable and knocked it out of the park. Thank you and definitely recommend to others !!“

“Worth a wait on Sunday mid morning. Best Benedict we can recall, and corned beef hash comes in delightful delish slab. One of our fave diners (or dinors). Recommend.
(Also worth noting quirky, playful art on walls, along w fun artifacts.)“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service couldn't have been better--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. What makes it extra special is the atmosphere: it's set in a beautifully preserved old-fashioned train station, which gives the whole experience a charming and unique touch. A perfect place to enjoy a great meal in a setting full of history and character. Order battered fish and chips.“

No kids menu but plenty of good affordable food on the menu for the kids to have grilled cheese, chicken tenders, cheese pizza, etc.“

“Small dining room, but service was fast and friendly. The food is amazingly good and in large portions. Almost two meals for the price of one. The loaded potato soup that came with the dinner was rich and creamy. We had the lasagna and chicken Alfredo and both were exceptional. A must order is the cheesy garlic bread. Hard to beat. You have to try, will enjoy.“

Thanks for a great reunion!!“

“This is my favorite place to get pizza in Erie. The prices are reasonable and the pizza is cooked to perfection. There was one time we were given a different pizza than we ordered, but it was actually delicious. Hoping they add a cook's choice option. Could be fun!“

“delicious meal ! great service and atmosphere. fair pricing, and the $4 margaritas where fab!“

“Great food and atmosphere. Michael is a stand up guy too!“

“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 place is awesome! I stopped for lunch on my last day in Erie while on a work trip. Got the Reuben and chicken tortilla soup - both amazing. One of the best Reuben’s I’ve ever had. The iPA is also good! I would definitely recommend going here… wish I went sooner!!!“

“Always love the beer. Salaura always does a great job. very friendly and helpful. Old fashioned is amazing!“

“My hubby and I won free lunch today. Everything was fresh and delicious. The bagels were excellent and the deli meat compliments them well. I highly recommend the new Jo’s Brooklyn Bagel and can’t wait to come back and try some other things. Thanks again for a wonderfully prepared lunch 💜“

“Staff takes care of you like you're family. Cozy energy & cool art. Can never get enough of Mike's good vibes & amazing dishes! No joke have dreams of eating the Japchae and wake up sad it wasn't real“

“The food as always was top notch. John and Russell have built a brand that has thus far not slipped on quality or on value. The pizza was crispy and hot and the pretzel was done with the perfect crunch and consistency. The only down side was being close to the bar, well staffed, low number of customers and yet it still took a while to get our drinks, refills and for our server just to check in. Overall still a great experience and still worth a return trip and a trip to the other (newer) restaurants on upper Peach and on the bayfront soon. Keep up the great work U Pick 6!“

“Great food and fantastic atmosphere! House salad with Gorgonzola dressing is delicious, my husband loves all the veal dishes, I love their scallops! Service is consistently good!“

“Such a cool establishment! Great service and good food at a more than fair price. The ducks, Mo and MissMo are cool.“

“Best service I’ve had in Erie. Our server had a very fun Personality. He was very personable, assertive and fast! Food and drinks were fantastic.“

“We as a group of 11 came in over about a half hour waiting for the my daughter that ran the marathon. The gal serving us was sweet, she handled 6 different checks with one holding the wings for all. She had the cutest smile. It’s nice to see a person having fun while they do their job. Towards the end of our long stay I told her she did a great job and thanked her. I asked her name and she said Lexi. I felt like I met a friend as she smiled a huge smile so I threw her a kiss, she threw one back. Then she said thank you so much as she was scared as her first huge table. Boss man, hear me. Lexi is a charm. You treat her good and I’m sure she’ll have people coming back to get her smile and great service. When I come from Jamestown way for doctors visit, we will ge back. To see Lexi but the food was really good too! Date of visit: September 2025“
