When I looked at the menu online, I decided on the vegetarian crepe, but once I saw the Du Mois special, I had to try it and was not disappointed. I found the flavors to be well balanced and the ingredients fresh. As someone with CD, I was thrilled to see the care taken for gluten-free orders and felt completely safe eating here. This is now a must-do for each and every visit to Erie.

We were seated in the back room at 2 separate tables, which was fine with us. We waited about 15 minutes each time to be seated. With impatient hangry children, food was delivered in about another 15 minutes. Some establishments make up for quality by giving you quantity. Not so at Flips! Innovation and quality were always there! Combinations were amazing, even reheated! They offer these freshly-made pillow doughnuts called, appropriately, Flips! Only breakfast and lunch hours offered. I have chosen lunch for breakfast sometimes because lunch combos are so enticing. It is diner style, noisy, bustling, with mismatched service plates and flatware. Fun place to be with great food!

Um, yes! Loved that accommodation. I grabbed an iced decaf for good measure, and hopped back in the car. The bread was still warm! That night, when we made it to our destination, we sliced up our bread and had it with pasta. It was pretty dense for sourdough - and we opted to warm the bread to take advantage of the parmesan slivers tucked into the bread. That definitely improved the flavor. The bread was ok, but the spirit with which it was given was so appreciated that *that* made it taste even better. We'll definitely be back.

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.

The price is fair and the ice cream is pretty darn good. I quite enjoy it and will have to return there soon for another. I'm hankering for some Oreo Cookies & Ice Cream and assume they have this. They make the rolled ice cream in front of you and have a large selection of toppings. They also sell some food there which I don't believe happened when it was Fat Lenny's. If you want some solid ice cream in Erie then hit up Mad Millz.
