The Poked Yolk is a lovely little breakfast and lunch boutique restaurant in the West End of East…read moreAurora. It's a very small restaurant, and it fills up very quickly. Today, we came in after the big breakfast rush, so there was plenty of comfortable seating throughout the restaurant. They have a specials menu that changes with the month. Everything on the menu is innovative, and an upgrade from whatever ordinary breakfast you're used to. Our waitress served up fresh hot mugs of coffee for us, and explained that their loyalty program was moving to a Phone app. Unfortunately, we would not be able to use our Wallet card which had three punches on it already. Today I ordered a Cali chicken club wrap, which was a very delicious mix, chopped chicken breast, romaine, wedges of avocado, and bacon with a nice ranch dressing, all in a soft tortilla wrap. For my side, I chose coleslaw. My food is so delicious, no complaints here. My handsome dining companion got the Pork Belly Hash with sweet potato tots, and two eggs OE and toast. I did sneak my fork across the table to grab a chunk of pork belly which made my eyes roll back into my head. My next bite was one of the deep fried sweet potato tots. Very delicious, but I can't make a habit out of anything deep fried anymore. All of this deliciousness came our way for under 40 bucks. Thankfully, we had a nice Christmas gift certificate from one of the grandkids. We do highly recommend any of the Poked Yolk locations.

However, when I was bringing dirty dishes to the bin, a very angry & aggressive man was grabbing dirty dishes & threw something in the trash so hard the lid flew off. I put it back on. He then continued to loudly throw dishes in the sink & angrily removed the salt & pepper shakers from the table. It was so jarring and if that's how he is in front of customers, I wonder what he's like at home. I can understand having a bad day but this was pretty extreme. I honestly don't think I'll be coming back.

The bun was lightly grilled in butter, which really makes for a great sandwich. The beef was piled high, it was tender, but it was well done. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this sandwich.

While waiting, we had to know the history of why it's called Iron Kettle Landmark Restaurant. Sure enough, we found that and a lot more. It's been around since the late forties, changed ownership a few times over the years, but current ownership is the reason neither of us will return. After learning of the current owner's legal problems, we quietly paid our bill, in cash for the 4% discount, thanked our server and left. I can't conscientiously recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially those with young daughters.

The crème brule french toast is 2 large slabs of homemade bread, that just tastes so fresh. The line will probably be long, but that gives you time to decide on what pastry to grab in the array of treats. There's truly something for everyone, and it is all great. Also make sure to grab some of the house made sourdough, got the Italian loaf for garlic bread for dinner and it was terrific.

I love a good sandwich and this has been the best in Erie County so far. The bread was nice and soft so it wasn't hard to eat at all.

If only those people out on the street knew what they were missing, they would give up their spot in line and join us at this great little restaurant instead! 189 Burger is well known for its expansive beer menu, but we were only interested in the burgers. I was intrigued by the description of the Bang Bang Burger. It came topped with Bang Bang sauce, cheddar cheese and Calabrian butter and crispy onions. Absolutely delicious!
