I usually get my 3 item BBQ combo so I don't stand there salivating at the menu and looking like a crazy person. lol! I love the combos as you can gather up the delicious BBQ sauces (do NOT tell me to pick one- I will cry as every single one is delicious). Should out to the mustard one. This girl here does not like mustard- and I usually snag two containers of that magic stuff. If you go in the afternoon during the summer- you get a beautiful view of the Harbor bridge and some awesome sailboats breezing by. The staff is smiling and fast. The only downside is- the BBQ is so good, our friends the local bees want it all to themselves and have been known to chase me around a few chairs outside. lol. I'm still leaving my 5 star because I'm not letting the bees win. Not sharing Mr Bumble, so buzz off. Literally.

Excellent food all around!!…read more The waitress recommended The Big Nasty for three of us, and was just perfect!! Perfect taste, perfectly well cooked, perfectly served on a tray (family style).

Years ago we saw the show that centered around under dog bbq. Finally we made it here after our…read morelast visit to Erie when we found the location we went to was closed. Walking in I didn't get that bbq vibe right off the bat. Sure there were some sauces and ribs for sale but I was kind of left wondering if this was a bbq place. Our waiter / cook/ bartender had us seated in the wide open dining area and drinks moving in no time, we placed our food order shortly afterwards. The misses got the nachos, the chips were probably the best part of the dish, the queso was on the bland side and the chicken ... well some was tender and some really not so much. Kind of in impressed. The little yelper was down for her usual tenders, there was two large hand breaded tenders in the basket, and some fries. The tender breading wasn't a hit with her but that chicken was better than the nachos meat. After some peeling she ate it. The fries though, definitely could have used a little more time down, the weren't really crispy and had a hot sog to them. I got the smoked wings. Hellfire and rust belt. Of the two rubs the rust belt was the sweetest and overall best , but I'm a fan of spice and the hellfire was definitely the winner. The chicken wings had the same Kind of inconsistency . Some were perfectly cooked, others a bit dry. But their bleu cheese really was the standout for me. As a top wing reviewer in 2025 I've had a lot of wings and bleu cheese. This I would probably give a 7/10. Definitely saved the day with the wings. Underdog was a bit underwhelming but service really saved the day here. He was attentive, helpful And overall just great. The food however, definitely not what we had hoped for.

The turkey was tender and moist. It was a no frills setting to be sure. We got there on the early side but the place filled up immediately. I would definitely go back again as I pass through the Erie area. The man in line before us got 5 lbs of pulled pork to go and he said that he lived around the corner. We usually do not finish our lunch but this time there was none to take home for another meal. Loved it.

They offer breakfast until 12:45. My only con would be the cleanliness - could have been a tad better. The room we were seated in could use some updates. The smell of the diner was a little off putting- kind of grungy and smelled like maybe the fryer grease needs to be changed. The booth seats are all cloth so I feel like maybe it traps smells and there's no door on the kitchen / service area so I think it may be coming from there. We specifically stopped on a road trip because the reviews were the best for the area we were in. Easy access to the interstate.
