My friend and I were looking for some good breakfast and this spot was close by our hotels. We came…read morein around 10 am and the place was busy but not over packed. We were told to sit where we wanted so we chose a spot near the window. Plenty of parking. We were both in town for the Erie marathon and needed to carb load. I had the blueberry pancakes, and we split a special of peach crepes. I also wanted some smash browns. The food came out quickly. We also had some of the coffee which was delish! My pancakes were the perfect amount of soft and fluffy. The crepes stole the show. It was almost fitting as a dessert! The smash browns were good but quite a large portion! My friend also got an omelette and said it was good. The prices were good, the server was great. It was relatively quiet inside despite being busy, everyone was enjoying their food!!

I tried the Western omelet and the Gem city omelet which had blackberry jam, burnt ham and brie omelet, and wow, I didn't know I needed that in my life. Our server also recommended the special waffle with marmalade and champagne whipped cream, which quickly became my favorite (minus the champagne part ). Had a great time here and will definitely be back soon.

Came here for Bfast on a Wednesday. We had a girls trip in Erie and kept passing this place and…read moredecided to stop 1 day for Bfast. Crowded. But sat us quickly. There were 5 of us. Server took drink orders quickly too. Menu is pretty big. Decided on the grilled cheese with bacon, tomato, pepper jack and mozzarella cheese and home fries. It was big. No skimping. Tasted good too. 1 friend got the 1/2 a frittata and it was the whole plate. The half... she said it was good and took it home. Someone got the sandwich with Italian sausage, cheese, and eggs. That was good. Then 2 people got some eggs over easy and some potato pancakes. The potato pancakes were just ok. But that's fine. They have generous portions and not too much money. This place was a winner. Simple decor, lots of families and groups. They turned over tables and moved you along. Pay up front at the end. Simple and easy. This place is a good little find.

If anyone has followed my reviews, I try to eat at local restaurants and give fair and honest reviews. We drove from Pittsburgh to Buffalo and decided to stop at Shirley's for breakfast. The restaurant was busy we had to wait about five minutes for a table. The restaurant just serves breakfast and brunch and had a typical diner interior. We sat down and got our drinks right away. The coffee was hot. The waitress Michele came over and took our order. my wife's order was fine. She ordered the omelette and Texas toast came out perfect. My order was a different story. I ordered the number 4, 2 eggs over easy hashbrowns breakfast sausage, patty, and Italian toast with no butter. Nothing out of the ordinary, but the waitress brought me my plate with the toast very barely toasted and the hashbrowns should've been called hash whites because they were not cooked and they were cold. Take a look at the picture. No waitress should be bringing this to a patron. Look at this picture and make your own decision. Zoom in to the top of the plate, what is that? I did ask to have my toast darker but I did not want to send my whole plate back because my wife was already eating her breakfast. When I was paying my bill, I was asked how was everything and I explained that my breakfast was cold. The manager or owner came over asked a few questions and apologized. I said it's not your fault and I'm not looking to have anything comped. I just made the statement that I came in for a hot breakfast and I got a cold one. There are a lot of restaurants in Erie and unfortunately, I picked the wrong one for breakfast.
