I ended up doing half greens + half black rice. Paid $11 for the whole bowl... didn't feel terribly bad. Wish I could've substituted Avocado for the tofu without an up charge. Otherwise pretty fresh. Good option for a healthy lunch!

Firestone's Kitchen…read more This was the BEST pizza I've had in Erie as a traveller looking to settle here. I've tried 3 others, mostly very flat on crust or flavor (all independent places). Firestone's pizza has an excellent char, solid sauce and flavorful toppings. The restaurant also has a beer/wine store, and a eye pleasing meat counter/butcher. I have no complaints - friendly service, fair priced pizza for excellent quality, and the liquor section has some charm to the decor. ***From the road, look for Gordon's (even though Firestone Kitchen is the eatery). Gordon's is more prominent from the road.

The menu wasn't deep but I like that because you go with what you're good making and avoid decision paralysis. I had a pepperoni pizza and a draft sour beer. Both were good and I'd probably get them again. Definitely a good place to get some eats and a beer.

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.

The food came out quickly, and the cashier was friendly. I tried the broccoli salad, which had cranberries and raisins. It leaned a bit sweet for my taste, but I appreciated that it didn't include bacon. The space is larger than it appears from the outside, with a mix of booths and tables. There's also a nice selection of gifts that are fun to browse. Overall, it's a great spot for lunch I'll be back.

But went here a few times a couple years back and every time I've been here, I've always been impressed with the food and their service. The salmon was great. As good as it looks. I've actually preferred other dishes I've had here previously. But this salmon is excellent. Will be back. Hopefully sooner than later.

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.

He caught my attention with the Thursday special of chicken and biscuits, so we checked it out. There's a small dining area - maybe 15 tables? - and a bar, so it's a bit snug and every table was filled when I went in to get a menu, thinking we'd do take-out, but there was no wait when we decided to do dine-in. We had to wait a short time for the server to get to us, but she was great - good recommendations for narrowing down our choices and just the right amount of attentive after we ordered. I started with the crab cake appetizer, which came with a zesty sauce. I enjoyed them, although I'm used to flattened crab cakes and these were more ball- shaped. I had the chicken and biscuits, which was very tasty - nice chunks of white meat in gravy, over real mashed potatoes and generous biscuits. The cole slaw was just right - crunchy and a little sweet, not overpowered by mayonnaise. Partner had the shepherd's pie, which, as our server cautioned, was heavily seasoned with thyme, but had great flavor and a nice mix of vegetables under the mashed potatoes. I wish we had had space for dessert! The menu is *really* inclusive, from prime rib to pasta to burgers to vegetarian options and a kid's section. There's something for everyone here!
