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!)

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.
