If I could rate this 100/10 I would. The Oakwood is one of my all time favorite restaurants and has…read morebeen since I was a little kid. If I only have 24hr in Erie, I'm making this my one stop for the best thing on the menu- The Oakwood Deluxe Sandwich with crispy fries and a side of chicken gravy. This is one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten and have been searching for something similar in Pittsburgh for 10 years and nothing even comes close. The owners are very sweet and welcoming to everyone. The staff treats everyone like family and gives you that small town dinners vibe in the best way. You can choose to sit on the restaurant side (left) or the bar side (right)- both are great, but I prefer the bar side! If you've never been, make sure you plan to make this a stop!

Seat yourself, but it is busy in here. We grabbed the only empty table, 5:30pm on a Monday. Not…read moremuch space between tables. The food came out fresh and fast, which we love. Daughter says "great chicken finger sub," (she's kind of an expert,) and everyone else really enjoyed their dinner. We'll try to stop when we're in town again.

This place went way down hill as far as food. Last two times we went the food was much smaller…read moreportions and way overdone. I had the perch sandwich, the bun was burnt and the perch was smaller then it used to be and overdone almost brown. they even cut back on the amount of fries. The perch dinner is no better, less perch and smaller in size and left in the deep fryer way too long. Their cook likes to cook things very well done. Used to be a great place for the family to gather and eat, not anymore and we won't be back, can't even get my miller lite on draft anymore. We have been going to this place for years because of the great food they used to have. My family and I will not be going there anymore because of the terrible food. Like most places they have cut back on the quality and potions of the food and raised their prices.

I'm not one to make complaints but my wife's and my omelet were both under cooked and runny (uncooked whites). Service was good and the remodel looked excellent. Breakfast cook needs to do better.

I mourned their closing and was hopeful when I heard they would return. But I felt like, there's no way they could measure up to the original. They exceeded my memory. New location embody a throwback and is more spacious than the original. Service was kind and fast. And the country fried steak and eggs was some of the best I've ever had. Every bite was extraordinary. I love this place. Welcome back Dave's. I too will be back.

Food is pretty good. Typical sports bar stuff that's hard to get wrong. But the service was…read moreterrible. Our waitress was completely inattentive. Took her 30 minutes to bring over water, and over an hour before bringing our food, and it would have been longer had we not reminded her. Never came by to ask if we needed anything else. Pretty sure we got overcharged too but by the time the check actually came we were ready to just go.

In response to Milen D's recent review of Firestones(which I witnessed)…read more I honestly can't decide what's more embarrassing: your experience at the restaurant or the fact that you thought this review was worth posting. You apparently walked in expecting the entire establishment to revolve around your very specific demands, got disappointed, called someone a "clown," accused them of lying, and then produced this barely decipherable masterpiece of nonsense. The staff didn't fail you--you failed to understand where you were, what they offered, and apparently how restaurants work. And judging by the grammar and coherence of this review, I'm not sure you were in any condition to be evaluating anyone else's performance. Being unhappy with a meal is one thing. Throwing a tantrum because a restaurant didn't conform to whatever bizarre expectations you had in your head is another. Do everyone a favor next time: stay home, lower your expectations, and let the adults enjoy their dinner without having to witness another episode of The World's Most Confused Customer. The restaurant got one bad review. You got permanently immortalized as the person who wrote it. I'd say one of those is considerably harder to recover from.

Firestone's Kitchen…read more This was the BEST pizza I've had in Erie as a traveller looking to settle here. I've tried 3 others, mostly very flat on crust or flavor (all independent places). Firestone's pizza has an excellent char, solid sauce and flavorful toppings. The restaurant also has a beer/wine store, and a eye pleasing meat counter/butcher. I have no complaints - friendly service, fair priced pizza for excellent quality, and the liquor section has some charm to the decor. ***From the road, look for Gordon's (even though Firestone Kitchen is the eatery). Gordon's is more prominent from the road.
