Pineapple Eddie's had been sitting on our "to try" list for probably 4 or 5 years, and thanks to a…read morelast-minute change of plans, we finally made it in. The restaurant is much larger than it appears from the outside. Once you head through the first dining room and down the steps, you're greeted by a warm, homey dining room with a surprisingly spacious bar. It has a comfortable neighborhood feel, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. Our cocktails arrived in about 10 minutes, and the hush puppies followed about 20 minutes later. They had a nice flavor, but were much denser and chewier than I expected. The bigger issue was the wait for our entrees. With the restaurant not appearing particularly busy, nearly 50 minutes for fried chicken and jerk chicken felt excessive. The good news? The chicken absolutely delivered! Both the fried chicken and the jerk chicken were packed with flavor and easily stole the show. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, while the jerk had a wonderful balance of seasoning and spice. Those dishes alone made the meal worthwhile. Unfortunately, my mashed potatoes arrived warm instead of hot. After such a long wait, I was hoping everything would come out piping hot, and that side just missed the mark. Cole slaw was fresh but pretty boring in the flavor department. I really wanted this to be the five-star experience that so many others have had. While this visit didn't quite live up to the hype, the quality of the chicken showed why Pineapple Eddie's has earned such a loyal following. We'll happily give them another shot someday and hope they earn that elusive fifth star.

Despite having visited Erie a LOT, we haven't ever had the chance to eat at Pineapple Eddie's. Erie…read morehas a fantastic food scene and there are so many good places to try that we always run out of time. However, after going to one of our go-to places this weekend that ended up being closed, we finally had an opportunity to try something new. The exterior of the building is so misleading to how spacious and nice it is inside! We were seated in the bar area and had a lovely server. I ordered one of the feature drinks and we decided to try the crabmeat hush puppies to start our meal. Despite not being overly busy, we were a bit surprised at how slow service was, though. We liked the hush puppies but probably wouldn't get them again. Not much crabmeat and a little more dense than we prefer. But the remoulade sauce was very tasty. I wish there were more of it. For my dinner, I went with the jerk chicken and it was phenomenal!! It is spicy, so I wouldn't recommend this dish for something who can't tolerate some heat. But the chicken was cooked perfectly and the flavors were incredible. The rice and beans that came with the dish were also amazing. About halfway through our meal, our server brought us some complimentary mini cornbread muffins. They were delicious as well, but would have definitely enjoyed them a little more if they were brought to the table while we waited over 35 minutes for our entrees to arrive. From the time we were sat to the time we left, it was nearly a 90 minute ordeal. It's the only reason I knocked a star off. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star experience, without a doubt. All in all, a wonderful experience and we will absolutely be back again!!

The restaurant had more works than guests in it. I would hate to see it busy there OR maybe that is why it was so empty. Will not be going back. Food was average but cold by the time I got home.
