My wife and I love this place, it is worth the drive. They have amazing food, wings, pizza and drankz!! The bartender was so nice and we loved joking around with her. Even the patrons seem to be regulars and are great!! read more

Avonia Tavern is one of my favorite local spots... not many places on the west side of erie. This is my go to on fridays. The mussels are my favorite. read more

I have always gone to the Avonia Tavern numerous times. Great service with excellent waitresses. I love their summer salad and their specialty drinks. I also love their fish and chips. I can't say enough good things about the tavern, I wish there was better parking especially when they are packed which is most of the time! Excellent place to go to eat. read more

.The Avonia Tavern is great! We enjoyed carryout tonite . We are so happy they are open and seem to be busy as ever! The food is always wonderful,the staff are always friendly and nice. We have missed them,but are hopeful life will return to normal soon. We wish Avonia Tavern the best! read more

Lets see.....$26 for a large pizza and 10 wings....not a bad price....however when the wings are the size of a lighter and the pizza has ZERO sauce and very limited cheese and tastes like a piece of cardboard I would rather spend my money somewhere else. This is the second review I have made of this place and the second chance I gave them hoping they would turn it around, unfortunately I think it got worse. I will not be going back to the Avonia Tavern ever again. I don't know how it is so packed with the ignorant people behind the bar and terrible food. read more

SOOOOO SLOW...I don't know if it is because we were sitting outside but it took almost 1 1/2 hours to get our food...and the table next us said it took over an hour to get their food read more

Nice place good food and good service. We stopped in for a couple of wings and a beer the night before our walleye fishing trip. The wings were good and I liked the sauce. The beer selection isn't big but they came out ice cold, so no complaints. Not a lot to say since we were just basically have a drink and some appetizers. read more

I have been visiting this bar/restaurant every Saturday night for the last 25 years...excellent staff, decent food and a cozy atmosphere with plenty of TVs to watch the night's game on. Favorite things on the menu are the chicken strips, chicken wings, Grilled Chicken Caesar salad and the pies are very tasty! read more

Stopped in on a fishing trip with a group of 7. Service was great. Food came out in a timely manner. Had the Erie perch. Have to say prepared well. Burgers others got seems to be huge. We will be back next year. read more

Stopped in on a Friday at 5. Was excited to order their all-day every-day all you can eat fish only to be told it wasn't ready?? How can you be a restaurant in Western PA and not have fish ready on Friday, especially if it's one of your main menu items. Very disappointed. Ordered a signature burger only to find out it comes with chips... again, disappointed. Iced tea was watery. Overall, not likely to return. read more

The Avonia tavern is a sad establishment that could be so much better. I've been here at least 5 times and each time it seems to get worse. Service is slow and the food is a mess. I have had a decent salad once or twice but it usually disappoints. There's no other sit down restaurants in that area of Route 5 so it seems to stay in business due to lack of competition. read more

If you rated this place as a bar, it would rate three stars. It a basic shot & beer kinda place where locals go and visiting fishermen. As a restaurant, it's closer to two stars, as the food is average and the service is slow. read more

My girlfriend and I went to eat here our last night on vacation and I have to say we left very happy. The staff was fantastic and the food was A+. I got their 1/2 smash burger and it was awesome. We'll definitely be going back on our next trip. read more

The boneless ribs with the Carolina Kicker sauce is amazing!!! I've never had a bad experience here, it may not always be fast, but most certainly is worth the waiting read more

Ate dinner here on 8/30. We have eaten here many times before. It took much longer to get our food this time even though the place was only moderately busy. Prices are reasonable. Veggie panini was good, but had too much oil on the vegetables. Baked potato was very good. My wife had the cod which she said was average. Server was very pleasant. read more

First Time here. Service was just ok. Food was great got the rib wing combo w/ blue hot on ribs and Carolina on wings. Will go back if in area again. Would recommend to try. read more

Love this place I can't say anything bad about it. It is great for just a casual meal. Not handle low-key great for the family.

We first got there and it was a little busy. We ordered our food and waited just over two hours for it to come out and by the time it did, it was cold. On my order particularly, I had ordered ribs and they came out with pork chops not ribs. Service for drinks was just alright nothing too exceptional. read more

they got my order completely wrong i ordered a bacon cheese burger with pickles and there was no bacon no pickles and no cheese if i could give 0 stars i would read more

I've been into Avonia numerous times. When I lived in Erie, we'd meet friends there for beer and pizza or wings and we always liked it as a bar with ok food. This summer I've been into Avonia a bunch of times, and I have been really disappointed with the food. Two out of the past 4 visits, I've had to return my food because it was simply not edible. Fried clams that were stiff and rubbery, pot roast that was so tough it couldn't be chewed, coleslaw that was frozen in the middle. We typically go to Avonia after fishing because it's close to the marina. It's ok for beer, but I'd suggest other restaurants if you are looking for a decent meal read more

Avonia is my favorite place to go when I get the chance to go out for dinner. I always have a hard time deciding on what I want to order because everything is so good! I recently had them cater my wedding and I can not praise them enough. They went above and beyond to make my day perfect. My guests were and still are raving about how delicious the food was! I'm so happy we chose them for our wedding. I will be a life long patron of Avonia! read more

Unacceptable wait for mediocre food. It took 65 minutes for a table of 5 to get our food. I ordered fries--I got chips. I asked for ranch, never got it. The restaurant wasn't even busy. It was lively, but not busy. The "manager" told our waitress that she "didn't have time to come out and talk to us." What a joke and waste of 2 hours. read more

Horrible service... We waited 2 hours for salads and wings. The food was not as good as I remembered and we literally paid $77 for 2 kids meals, a salad and fish... Barely edible. Will NEVER EVER be back! read more

I've been here several times and the food is good, however yesterday I got there with my family around 5:30pm, the server took our order at 5:45pm, and we waited for over a hour for our food! We almost walked out! Needless to say I won't be back for a while. read more

Moved to Lake City in January 2014 and since then have probably eaten at Avonia tavern a dozen times. The chances of getting both; good service, and good food, at the same time are slim to none. My wife and I eat out quite a bit and we tried to give them the benefit of the doubt thinking time and again that they deserved one more chance, but in the end it seems as if the management just doesn't care. We will not be back. read more

We live in the area, and eat at the Avonia about every 3 months. A real nice pub menu and atmosphere. Our food, service and price have always been good. Picked up take out yesterday, and it couldn't have been easier. read more

Amazing french onion soup. Husband loves the wings! We sit at the bar and always have a great time. Cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Blonde bartender is always super sweet and kind to me and my husband. read more

The best chicken wings I've ever had anywhere. I always ask for well done and extra crispy and that's what I get. This is a bar basically with a separate back room if you don't want to sit in the bar area. The food has always been good there, mostly what I call bar food, sandwiches, wings, etc., but the current owners now have added more meals, steak, homemade soups, salads, perch, etc. We go there all the time and highly recommend it. Note: On Fri and Sat nights it veerrrry busy. TV's in bar area to watch the games. I've heard their ribs are great also although I've never had them. Small order wings (8) - they always give you more, subs, hamburgers, etc., all under $10, some meals a little more. read more

Very good pizza and wings! Service is always friendly and a nice place for a casual dinner with the family!

I ordered catering at noon for work. Everything was hot and not dried out. Wings, Ribs, Potato skins and salad. Everything was nicely arranged in containers and made for easy transport. Friendly works and always busy during dinner but they always find a table for you read more

Never had a bad meal here . Once in a while the service is a little slow ; that being said try this place it is worth you're trouble the wings are some of the best in the county . If the service is slow just have a hot tottie to get through the brutal winters that exist here . Bar staff is always jovial and entertaining . Do not get here during a Steeler game and EXPECT great service lmao the tourist take it over . read more

I gave this tavern a 3 for a few reasons. It has a great atmosphere but servers are clueless. Took them 30 mins to take orders for 8. Very clean inside though. Picked up my plate to give to my server and had gross red stuff on the bottom. Took 2 hours after we walked in the door to get our food! I would recommend this place if you have the time and patience to deal with the service read more

This used to be the best neighborhood bar and grille around. My husband I and I were regulars and in at least once a week. This summer something changed for the worst. They physically redid the restaurant and that was okay. But right around the time they made all the physical changes the food took a dive. The first bad experience we had was on a friday when they were only moderately busy. My husbands and I both ordered the NY strip and stuffed shrimp. Everything just tasted old it was dry and the steaks were way over done. It also took well over an hour to get our food. We thought it was a fluke, everyplace can have a bad night. We came back during the week and ordered sandwiches the place wasn't even half full and the it took over an hour to get our food again. My sandwich was supposed to be hot but was cold and our daughters quesadillas looked like they have been cooked in a microwave. We weren't going to go back after that but friends really wanted to go and convinced us to go one more time. They used to have an awesome prime rib special on weekends, they stopped doing that regularly and my husband and were really excited to see it up again when we came in. We waited almost 2 hours for our food and when it came I stopped my husband from eating his because mine was covered in a green iridescent sheen. He examined his more thoroughly and found his was green all the way through. The meat was really, really old. T I don't know what happened in the kitchen at this place but it's a shame. We won't be back anytime soon read more

My husband and I stop at the Avonia Tavern EVERY time we are in Erie. We look forward to the wonderful service and all the great food. Their soups are the best I've ever had! My husband's favorite would be the Gumbo, which always sells out, and mine would have to be the Chicken Tortilla. But, all of the soups are homemade and just wonderful, especially after standing out in that cold Erie weather over the winter. The dinners are exceptional as well including the boneless pork ribs which are served with or without wings in all the same flavors as their delicious wings. But my ultimate favorite after a bowl of soup is their Fried Clam platter. I'm telling you, you have NEVER seen or had clams this big and delicious!! They are out of this world! The Tuscan pizza rounds out my top choices, but I've seen people getting the mile-high meatloaf a lot, too. Oh, and I can't forget the burgers and Greek Fries. My husband always gets some Greek sauce to dip something in. He just loves it! But, as I first said, it's the service that's just wonderful. We go to Erie to fish for Steelhead, as many people do in the winter, and all the girls know us by name, they remember what we drink and they are just so funny and entertaining. We hope to continue our tradition of dinner at the Avonia for a long time to come! read more
