A must to stop in and get a bite to eat! We had just flown in and we were hungry. We got fried pickles as our appetizer and they were DELICIOUS! The homemade ranch was top notch!! Our waitress was always on top of everything. We had burgers as our meal and they were very good!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Decided to check this place out after it was highly recommended by a friend. We checked out the menu and the kids were excited for the Mac and cheese options. The pictures on the site sold us. Unfortunately, what we ordered based on the photos was not what we received. The fried pickles came out as pickle fries, overcooked pickle slivers in way too much breading, not pickle chips. The fish in the fish and chips was a long skinny piece that just looked like a giant freezer fish stick. The Mac and cheese was bright orange and full of chili spices. Both kids ordered Mac and ended up taking one bite and throwing the rest away. Service was decent. Small gastropub in Erie that appeared to be full of local residents. Cute place for a neighborhood bite. But we will not return.

Awesome, unique food so much better than chain-fare. Also, the frozen pineapple sangria was crazy good on a hot afternoon while enjoying their patio.
