43 Best American Restaurants near Harborcreek

“I would like to do the pros first because there are a few. The building is beautiful and nicely done. Our waitress worked hard. My French toast was great and my omelette was good. The cons: I would have addressed this with the staff because it’s not fair to have complaints and just do reviews but I was with someone who never says anything and would have been embarrassed if I had. But how will a business improve if they don’t get feedback? To start, my bagel was cold and hard. Left most of it. My home fries were cold. The pancakes were cold. Our waitress did everything: took orders, delivered meals, refilled coffees (when she had time which wasn’t often), set out ketchup bottles on all the tables, cleared and wiped tables…all while another young girl stood behind the bar talking all about herself to a customer and did nothing to help. We aren’t from the area so I’m not sure we’ll have the opportunity to be back but if we do get to Erie again I’d certainly give them another try.“

“We had an amazing waitress!!!“

“Ate at this diner for the first time today and cannot say enough about the hospitality, and quality of the food. The family who run it clearly take a great deal of pride in what they serve. A unique local eatery you should definitely try when in the area.“

“Efficient, friendly, clean & great food. Nothing but great things to say about Shirley’s!“

“We went for a friends birthday! It was very good food wise, however, I snuck up to the bar and asked about birthday celebrations and if they did anything special, she had said yes we do a brownie and asked me which table/person. The brownie was great and had a sparkler! BUT when we got our bills the birthday girl had a $7 charge for the brownie! I was very confused because I’ve never been somewhere that charged for a birthday brownie and was not told it would cost anything. Just surprising especially being they charged the birthday person. All and all it was good food but wish the staff be more informative.“

“Absolutely love the food and the people! John is such a pleasant guy and a fun jokester:)“

“Food is always good. service was pleasant and fast. Love the decor.“

“Awesome people great food“

“🔥🔥“

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

“Honestly I didn’t know what to expect when going here, but I was pleasantly surprised by it.

There’s actually a drive through, I suppose which comes in handy especially if you have ordered ahead. I got there at a weird time so I still don’t really know the vibe or community it attracts, but it seems to cater to families. There is a kids playground indoors which is very cool for parents who need a little break once in a while.

The food they recommended was the Mac and cheese with pulled pork bbq, which was delicious and hearty with not only a large portion for a small price, but it comes with dishwasher and microwave safe containers.

I just had half a portion and really enjoyed it! Now I just need to see if my Erie family like the other purchases I made too. :)

I did have to wait about 10 minutes for the a new batch of Mac and cheese, but that was a quick wait.“

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

“Just left the dinor for our Sunday breakfast. We love the food and the staff. This is a must try place!“

“I cannot be as thankful for great people like those at the Erie Applebee's. We had a family emergency right after we placed our food, they helped us get out the door with our appetizer (which we ate in the car while speeding home, and it was fantastic!)“

“Eat'nPark has been around alot of years and thrives today due to a solid 3 meal menu well taken care of restaurants and great service ! My mushroom and onion burger was great ! You had to open wide to take a bite in to the double patty burger dressed with plenty of grilled mushrooms and onions and it wasn't overkill to have my favorite style of onion rings crispliy breaded as a side. My party also had the enormous whales tale fish sandwich in which half had to go home in a box to be doubly enjoyed later. And a full breakfast of bacon eggs and toast was perfectly made to order. This was the Peach st location in Erie Pa Great quick service and a very nice waitress took care of our needs of drinks and extra napkins. We keep coming back to this same location over any other place in Erie now for years“

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

“Love this place...Darcy is the "Best"“

“Our first time at Doc Holliday’s and pleased to find the food and service were both great. A wide and varied menu. The only caveat, you having to be willing to put up with smoking or the lingering effects of those who do. Otherwise, a nice place!“

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

“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.“

“Go every Monday for their special on wings. 75c wings is a pretty hard price to beat nowadays with inflation! They have dart boards and a pool table, which are almost always open. Kendra is a great waitress and is always down to have a great conversation with us!“

“Just got their food two days in a row! The steak salad, pizza, cheeseburger and Chipotle Blue Burger! Delicious and great quality! Friendly staff! This will certainly become a regular!“

“Very affordable food and games. Friendly and hard working staff. Brought our two kids and they loved playing skeeball and ar $0.25 a game it was very affordable and allowed for them to play for a good amount of time! No kids menu but plenty of good affordable food on the menu for the kids to have grilled cheese, chicken tenders, cheese pizza, etc.“

“We had dinner on a Tuesday evening and it was not busy. We got a table right away.
We used to frequent this place over a decade ago and came for the Cincinnati chilli. It did not disappoint. The chicken tenders were on special Tuesday for $3 ea. We thought that was odd for chicken tenders but then we saw the size of them. The kids meal comes with 2 and 1 was the size of her head lol. They were also very good. The breading has a very good flavor.“

“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“

“Cali’s has solid food options and one of the only kitchens still open late. Always excited for greens on a menu, great service too. Don’t miss the Thai chili sauce.“

“Best wings in town! Always friendly staff and great drinks!“

“Highly recommend OOTGC. They have quick customer service and excellent coffee. The coffee , teas and coffee beans are so good. It’s the best coffee I have ever had and it makes for great gifts for family and friends.“

“We frequently visit this restaurant on Wednesdays, and I always ensure to tip generously. However, during my recent visit, my wife ordered the new chicken skillet dinner. When she inquired about the quantity of waffle fries, the manager, Mindy, responded that they couldn’t provide more, stating that it was only fries. Notably, the advertisement prominently features a plate full of waffle fries. Despite the server’s apology for Mindy’s rude behavior, which I believe was unnecessary, I felt that the disparity between the advertised quantity and the actual amount served was unacceptable.

Edited we are back after the GM called and everything was delicious!! I tried the new bangin burger highly recommend“

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

“Most incredible French Onion Soup I have EVER tasted. And I order French onion soup every time I’m at a new place that serves it. There is no recipe or establishment that can compare with the soup I had at the Beechwood Inn. It was a mission of mine to find the best French onion soup and after 25 years of searching, I can honestly say mission complete.
My son had the Big Wood burger and couldn’t say enough positive things about it.
We grabbed a cherry cheesecake desserts to go. It was also fabulous and you could tell it was homemade with its thick, buttery, graham cracker crust.
Loved the homestyle rustic ambience of both the dining and bar area. The murals/wood carvings are quite unique and add to the country home cooking feel.
Service was quick and friendly.
The total meal was quite inexpensive.
The only thing that disappointed me had nothing to do with the Beechwood inn, but the fact that none of the local Erie visitor guides even mentioned the existence of this place. Shame on them for not listing this hidden gem of a local business.“

“My husband and I stop in almost every time we are in Erie. We've been lucky to get Mary as our server nearly every time. If the owners are reading this, do whatever you have to do to never lose Mary as a server! She is wonderful. So pleasant, amazing at performing her job, makes you feel right at home. Whatever she is being paid is not nearly enough. Food is always excellent, quick service. We will be back!“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal! Went last night for a girls night out and everything from the service to the food to the immense wine list and wines on tap were top notch! I don’t have a single negative thing to say, and we will be back! (I 100% recommend the charcuterie board- yum!) 🧀 🥰🍷“

“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.“

“Great place! good food and good times! Bowling is a blast!“

“Post 2020, what a world, Perkins is like Mom's lemon merengue pie available by the slice. The problem is, in post 2020 world inflation and costs have gone crazy. Perkins is an amazing place, still serving breakfast any time of the day, however it is now nearly 50 out the door for two on two breakfast entrees a side of sausage and a drink. The food is consistent and comes as ordered and always tasty. The bill now reflects entrees at a 300% increase from 2020, definitely puts a bit of a bad taste in your mouth.“

“We go almost every Saturday to be seated with Nancy. She’s been there for 30+ years and she’s very attentive.“

“I dropped in for an early dinner and sat at the bar. First, I love a bar with hooks for your purse and a foot rest so your legs don’t go numb. Second, service is fantastic. All the White Buffalo staff take care of you. If they notice your drink is low, they ask if you want another. They check if your order is correct and if you need anything else. All the staff care, not just an assigned server. Few places run this way. I got a salad with hot wing sauced chicken and steamed vegetables – brilliant idea. You don’t need dressing, because the sauce is the dressing. I loved that you have an option of grilled or fried chicken. The kitchen staff has chicken down – moist, not over cooked. Also, I was pleasantly surprised that the salad greens were mixed greens – not plain iceburg. It was wing night, so many around me were eating wings – they serve the biggest wings I have seen. The White Buffalo has many wing flavors and from what I saw, cook to order. Sitting at the bar, I could also see they offer lots of liquor options. I enjoy trying new brands and flavors, this bar does not disappoint. They also have some fun top shelf sippers. Looking forward to returning and trying some new treats.“

“Our service was amazing and the food was perfect“

“We stopped by with the kids for brunch and the atmosphere was amazing, we had a bad experience in the past in Tampa on an IHOP that was very trashy, and I swore never comeback but the kids asked for it and this one changed my mind, Hannah’s service was great, the food was close to perfection and the kids loved it, highly recommend.“

“I always have an outstanding experience at this bar. The music was exceptional, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the overall energy was unmatched. A special commendation to the bartenders for their excellent service and to the security team for ensuring a safe and welcoming environment. The level of hospitality here is truly top-tier.“

“The Harvest Restaurant and Bar in North East, PA, is truly a hidden gem, even more so after my unexpected weekend snowed in at a local hotel. Stranded due to a blizzard and a car accident, I found solace in the warmth and hospitality of this fantastic establishment. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was exceptional. Heather, the owner, greeted me with genuine kindness and made me feel right at home. Her dedication to providing a great dining experience was evident throughout my visit. The food was the highlight of my stay. I tried the pot roast melt, which was nothing short of spectacular. The tender meat, melted cheese, and deliciously toasted bread created a comforting and hearty meal that warmed me up from the inside out. I also indulged in the ribs, which were fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. Each bite was a delight, showcasing the kitchen's skill and commitment to quality. Despite the circumstances that brought me there, the staff's friendly demeanor, along with the amazing food, turned what could have been a disappointing weekend into a memorable one. If you're in the area, don’t miss out on The Harvest Restaurant and Bar—great service, great food, and truly awesome hospitality await!“

“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.“
