    Strawberry cheesecake French toast
    Laura F.

    My fiancé and I really loved Arnie's Place, so we figured we should try the original: Butch's Place, since it has the same owner. I was not disappointed! I ordered the strawberry cheesecake French toast (and a side of fries). The French toast was absolutely amazing. It was so decadent and the portion was way more than enough, I ended up bringing half of it home. My fiancé got the Butch's Breakfast and it was a very good size as well. This very well may be our new breakfast spot. Good food. Totally reasonably priced.

    I've gone here twice when I visited Erie for a little bit due to work and I must say I really enjoyed eating at this breakfast joint. I initially was looking for a brunch place that wasn't too crowded but also looked tasty! Butch's Place fit the bill no problem and reminded me of a character from an amazon show I love haha. The parking is super easy and plentiful. Inside, it wasn't to capacity which made it easier to social distance and eat one's food with less worry. Servers of course made sure to follow COVID precautions which I always appreciate and wouldn't probably visit a place that wasn't adhering to such policies. Food wise, really anything is amazing on the menu. The strawberry cheesecake french toast (~$11) is a must here. It legit tastes like a strawberry cheesecake with each bite and you're just surprised at the end they packed such a flavor into french toast. Now, I'm craving it from several states over! I also got the crab cakes benedict and a side of pancakes at a later visit and I must say I was definitely impressed. If I wasn't in such a mood for pancakes on my 2nd visit, the crab cakes benedict with the hashbrowns would have been the perfect meal and portion size. Both were very affordable and I highly recommend the crab cakes if you're craving something more savory. If you're looking for a breakfast place that isn't too crowded, especially during these times, drop by Butch's Place and you won't regret it!

    Food was great - typical diner experience. Service was a little slow but friendly. Typical ambiance you'd expect from diner type place.

    Loved the food, service and brunch. I never have a breakfast burrito, but this one was great…read more Champagne was on point. Only strange thing was when I called, they didn't know what time brunch was till, apparently 2 pm. And weird cool wallpaper in the men's room.

    I came here last year with my family and my aunt and her kids for dinner after a visit to Splash…read moreLagoon and it was lights out fantastic. We got a smorgasbord of stuff (of which items I can't even recall right now, but at least one entree salad and drinks), all of which was excellent. Even our picky daughter enjoyed herself. Solid 5 stars! Today, on my way through town on a work trip, I figured I'd stop in to replicate the magic. I opted for the short rib grilled cheese and subbed out the fries for the side of Brussels sprouts. After ordering, the food was out in about 10 minutes flat. Not a reassuring sign out of the gate... The grilled cheese was supposed to have caramelized onions. Now, I'm NOT a raw onion fan, but I can generally tolerate caramelized or fried onion strings on stuff. As you can see in the photo, the onions are NOWHERE near the color they should be to be caramelized. Sauteed? Sure, but they still had a good amount of crunch to them so not even that deeply cooked. Most of the onion leaves were still connected at the root. Also (and fortunately for me and my onion-loving self), the other half had maybe 2 very tiny pieces of onion. The short rib was done quite well and very tender but came in large chunks instead of being evenly distributed throughout the sandwich. There were also a couple rather large pieces of fat in them that was just too much to try and chew through that I had to spit out. The server was very upbeat and kind though and the inside of the place is amazing. Such a cool vibe. Overall, that's one amazing experience and one less than stellar. Being a mid-week lunch, I'm going to assume the A team wasn't on staff so I'll give the benefit of the doubt. I'll definitely come back for dinner another time for sure but I might look elsewhere for my lunch...

    I didn't like anything about this food experience, was a disappointment especially after reading…read moresome of the other reviews. Decided to order pick up for Superbowl eats. We didn't like anything. Everything was flavorless, and over priced. We had the firebird's duranjo burger. Nice size, but over cooked and not seasoned. The parmesean crusted chicken, although a nice size and cooked perfectly again no seasoning, expected to be able taste the Parmesan crust, nothing.. We both upgraded our side to the southwest au gratin potatoes. Au gratin potatoes a creamy jalepeno cream sauce sounds like a flavor bomb, NOPE, the potatoes were under cooked and not sure how you manage not to get flavor out of jalepeno cream sauce, but they did! The crispy cauliflower with the jar sweet chili sauce was probably the best thing we did have. You can get brunch all day so, I ordered the hipster toast, and I was pictured cat fished. Mine was nothing like the picture, although I appreciate they didn't build the toast for take out and allowed me to do that myself. Still, there was maybe 7 little little cubes of avocado, no pickled onions, no spiced pecans, no parmesan cheese. What I did get was a piece of toast with goat cheese, then a box of arugula, 7 pieces of small small avocado, candied bacon pieces, radishes and heirloom tomatoes. Basically a 17 plus salad on bread. Totally a waste and not worth it. I will say though, the cilantro lime vinaigrette was delicious. But spending over 90 bucks and only enjoying a vingerette and cauliflower, won't have be coming back. Maybe ordering on Superbowl Sunday was a mistake, but I'll never know.

Out of all the fine dining experiences I've had in Erie so far, this would be at the top... food wise and view wise. It's beautiful to sit outside and have the view of the bicentennial tower right next to the water! Now for the dish details! -Buffalo cauliflower was nothing special, your standard Buffalo cauliflower with a side of ranch... great to share for the table. The Roasted Organic Chicken was so juicy and tender, it fell right off the bone. Mashed potatoes and green beans paired perfectly. One of my favorites! -The heirloom tomato salad was a 7/10... I think the tomato wedges needed to be smaller pieces. This salad had the best croutons I've ever had! French onion soup was also a standout for me... definitely recommend! -Lastly Walleye Fish & chips: I think they could've included a bit more fish (it was three tenders), tasted good tho...7/10 as well! I would definitely come back here again and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fine dining waterfront experience in Erie!
