Even though I was ordering to go, they promptly helped me and even offered a comfortable seat on their couch while I waited. My food was ready in about 10 minutes--fast and efficient. I ordered the lamb skewers dinner, which came with rice, pita, and a cup of lentil soup. The lamb was fantastic: nicely seasoned, tender, and cooked perfectly. This was a great experience all around. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Erie so I can order again and try more items from their menu. Solid choice for quick, high-quality Mediterranean food--highly recommend!

This experience was a 4.0-4.5. The service was slow and it took a long time for the food to come…read moreout. Yet it was during a week day and it was not very busy. That being said the food was enjoyable. My guest had the Lamb Kabob Platter and I had the Sirloin Beef Kabob Platter. I tried the lamb and enjoyed it but I liked the sirloin beef slightly more. I enjoyed the sauce that came with the meal as well - it went well with the lamb as well as the sirloin beef. The kebsa rice is good and they give you a whole lot of it which is appreciated. The fattoush salad was nice but was not my favorite aspect of the meal.

This multiyear award winning Syrian restaurant is…read more The exterior is in need of a little love but our initial trepidation was assuaged by the lovely lady who greeted/seated/served/cooked our food. She was lovely! We ordered shish tawook(chicken breast) sandwiches and a fattoush salad. The sandwich was just the right size with fresh ingredients and came with a sode of simply prepared "syroan" rice (olive oil, carrots, and zaatar) Tasty! The fatoush salad arrived quickly and was very flavorful. The high quality olives and zaatar spices were a particular treat. The dressing was simple olive oil and zaatar Excellent! We are glad we stopped for this late lunch in the early part of the week.Recommend!

The presentation of the food is always handled artfully and with pride. The tea is very good as well. In a addition to that, the proprietor is very sweet and motherly.

Loved the peach beer myself (just the one) and my spouse enjoy his 3 ipa's. Met good patrons, which always tells me about a place. Pickle pizza hit the spot! And to make it 100% id suggest adding Sriracha or ranch drizzle? It needed just one *something.* but also totally brilliant without.

I stopped by here a number of weekends ago now with my wife for lunch and some drinks. We had been…read morelooking for a brewery in Erie to visit after the Erie Marathon whenever Lavery Brewing popped up on Yelp. This place is large and has both outdoor seating on the side as well as plenty of indoor seating. The inside looked like a mix of cozy and industrial, with a long wooden bar stretching the length of the room, warm pendant lights hanging overhead, colorful beer boards on the wall, and shelves lined with bottles and glassware behind the bar. It had a relaxed but lively feel to it. After looking around to figure out where we wanted to sit, we ultimately chose the bar. For lunch on this day I chose to go with the pimento smash deluxxxe while my wife went with the pesto pizza. The menu described my meal as two smash patties, bacon, American cheese, pimento cheese, and onion rings on a brioche bun while my wife's was described as parsley basil pesto, triple cheese blend, fire roasted tomatoes with a balsamic glaze. I thought that the burger here was delicious as the patties were seasoned nicely and I appreciated the onion rings. While there was plenty of cheese and it was flavorful, I almost could have used more of the pimento. Then my wife liked her pizza here especially the pesto combined with the fire roasted tomatoes. Then for drinks, as I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight here. At Lavery Brewing, a flight consists of 6 beers and I chose the Active Recovery, Seeking Clarity, Lime n Cuke, Throwing Tropical Shade, Sound Mild, and Divine Intervention for my flight. I first started with the Active Recovery which was light and hoppy and very drinkable. Up second was the Seeking Clarity which had a clean start before a heavy dose of hops in the middle which surprisingly didn't linger. Third was the Lime n Cuke which has a strong cucumber smell and the drink itself is dry like most goses with a mild lime and stronger cucumber flavor. Fourth was Throwing Tropical Shade and you could really taste the orange and other tropical flavors with a finish flavor of coconut. For me this was a really delicious beer. Up fifth was the Sound Mild which was light but you got the nice flavor of those toasted malts at the finish. Last but certainly not least was the Divine Intervention which had a strong coconut flavor on the finish. Out of the bunch my favorite ended up being the Throwing Tropical Shade. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I both enjoyed the beverages and the food and we left both happy and stuffed.
