    Room 33 - Short rib

    Room 33 is STILL amazing! Five years after my original…read morereview, we made our way back to Erie and Room 33 -- this time to celebrate Melissa's birthday. We've actually tried to return a couple times since that first visit, but apparently other people have discovered the place too. Both times we showed up without reservations and struck out. Lesson finally learned: MAKE. THE. RESERVATION. This time we did, and Room 33 reminded us exactly why we loved it in the first place. We both ordered Sonny's Short Rib, served over mashed potatoes with roasted carrots. Absolutely delicious -- tender, rich and packed with flavor. Although I gotta give the 2021 version the edge in the looks department. And you can't celebrate a birthday without dessert. Melissa went with the peanut butter pie, while yours truly handled the chocolate lava cake with ice cream. Both were worthy of the occasion. Different band than our first visit, but the same great energy. Live music, cocktails, that cool speakeasy atmosphere and a room full of people having a genuinely good time -- Room 33 just knows how to create a night out. Five years ago I said Room 33 gave me one more reason to keep coming back to Erie. Five years later, that statement still holds up.

    Room 33 has been one of our favorite Erie restaurants for many years. We love the whole vibe. The…read morefood and drinks are well made and thought out, the live music is always a nice touch to an evening out and the space is very well designed. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially when they have a band performing. My go-to dish is the short rib dish. The mashed potatoes are amazing and the short ribs are packed with flavor. On this particular visit, they were a bit skimpy on the au jus sauce (it's normally got a healthy laddle of pan sauce on the bowl) but that's okay. I did splurge for my birthday and get a slice of the peanut butter pie. It was super rich and exactly what peanut butter lovers want in a peanut butter pie.

    Always good food! The owners are beautiful people. Went for…read morehubby's birthday. His steak was cooked just as desired. I had the Moroccan stew; yummy!! The creole shrimp appetizer was divine. And the mini honey corn muffins delightful! If you haven't yet eaten here, you're missing out on this gem. When you go, tell the chef I sent you!

    Pineapple Eddie's had been sitting on our "to try" list for probably 4 or 5 years, and thanks to a…read morelast-minute change of plans, we finally made it in. The restaurant is much larger than it appears from the outside. Once you head through the first dining room and down the steps, you're greeted by a warm, homey dining room with a surprisingly spacious bar. It has a comfortable neighborhood feel, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. Our cocktails arrived in about 10 minutes, and the hush puppies followed about 20 minutes later. They had a nice flavor, but were much denser and chewier than I expected. The bigger issue was the wait for our entrees. With the restaurant not appearing particularly busy, nearly 50 minutes for fried chicken and jerk chicken felt excessive. The good news? The chicken absolutely delivered! Both the fried chicken and the jerk chicken were packed with flavor and easily stole the show. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, while the jerk had a wonderful balance of seasoning and spice. Those dishes alone made the meal worthwhile. Unfortunately, my mashed potatoes arrived warm instead of hot. After such a long wait, I was hoping everything would come out piping hot, and that side just missed the mark. Cole slaw was fresh but pretty boring in the flavor department. I really wanted this to be the five-star experience that so many others have had. While this visit didn't quite live up to the hype, the quality of the chicken showed why Pineapple Eddie's has earned such a loyal following. We'll happily give them another shot someday and hope they earn that elusive fifth star.

On arrival there were not many patrons at the bar/restaurant. We came into the downstairs bar side which has several pool tables. We got our pool ball's and began a game. After several minutes one of the group went over to the bar to make them not only aware we were here but to get a round of drinks. The bartender made our drinks but sent them back to the table with the member of our party who ordered them rather then a server. Bartender was made aware at that time that we wanted to order food and we were told "Nick" was responsible for taking orders in our area. After over 30 minutes of watching Nick standing talking to patrons and staff of the bar, delivering food items to a table that came after us, and actually coming into the pool area where we were and vaping, we still had not had our order taken. Finally we paid out alcohol tab and returned the pool ball's to the pool hall. The bartender apologized to us and we left. At the time we walked out the door to leave Nick was standing talking to Mark, the pool hall manager. We are disappointed and have felt the service at Andy's has been declining. Do better Andys Pub and please educate Nick on proper restaurant service. Coming in to vape but still ignore patrons with menus waiting to order is distasteful and rude.
