4/18/25 Ate List:…read moreCrispy Chicken Salad - 8.1 This mound of food is affectionately called a salad. Somewhere beneath the fries and chicken there is a ton of lettuce, cheese, onion, tomato, and hard boiled egg. It's always a touch humorous to have your bowl arrive, be bigger than everyone else's AND have the luxury of technically being "a salad." It's delicious. Lorie's is also a staple for my family. Whenever I visit, I'm typically adventuring across their breakfast menu, and I've never been disappointed. Service is kind and some of the fastest I've experienced. This spot deserves to be in the Erie "Hall of Fame" restaurant wise, but I feel the fact it is not, adds to the charm. Love this spot and I hope you do too.

Although the service was a little slower than expected, the food was really good! Very affordable breakfast for a family of four (compared to most chain restaurants). It has the ambiance of a typical mom-and-pop establishment! Nothing too fancy.

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.

Juicy chicken breast, goooey mozz with chopped, roasted red peppers and spinach - YUM! The menu says it should be on toasted Asiago, but that's not what this was on. It was on a plain hamburger-style bun, but it was still good. The fries were really flavorful, too - tasted/looked like handcut. Though I didn't eat there, the place was super cute inside. The staff was polite/friendly. We'll definitely be back, if we have to go to Erie again. (Apologies for the pic! It was pouring rain, and I was starving!)

The quality and quanity of the food has gone down. I ordered a spicy black bean burger from the…read moremenu, but was told they don't have it. I asked if they had a grilled cheese, as it was not on the menu as in the past. She told me yes. It arrived over cooked and greasy and when I asked for pickles, was told they don't do pickles anymore. The fries arrived in a small black dish, which appeared to be re heated. The ice tea was old and cloudy. We finished our subpar meal and the waitress never picked up our plates or asked if I wanted a refill of ice tea. I had to hunt her down to finally get the check. I then noticed that there was a charge for a child's drink. Apparently a child drink does not come with a child's meal. Not a big deal, but one more negative issue.Needless to say, I will NOT be going back to this Main Street Cakery.

Good choices from eggs, omelette, pancakes and waffles. I chose the chorizo hash. I am told that was homemade where the corned beef hash is not. The chorizo had a nice heat. The potatoes and eggs were good too. Someone ordered banana pancakes, the chorizo Benedict, the frittata, and the sausage and gravy. All enjoyed their bfast. The sausage gravy was huge. Special nod to the home fries. They are good! Prices not too bad. About average if not a bit cheaper than most places. I'd go back. Everyone had a good Bfast and we enjoyed ourselves.
