Olde Erie Brew Pub & Grille

Old school Italian American fare meets pub/sports bar atmosphere and they pull off. The neat and clean Spacious Dining room is seperated from bar area nicely by floor ceiling glass making it quiet but not clostrophobic.



 Food ranges from basic chicken , veal, and seafood  sautes , parms, & broiled dishs. Standard bar food also wings burgers salads sandwichs and of course abundant daily specials.

  Food is not "gourmet" but is always  fresh ,satisfying, prepared well and served hot with large portions. I have to say there strong point is how steaks are preared always cooked as ordered & great quality As for the Italian food like stated old school lots of heavy red sauce with  tremendous portions . Good selecion of tap and bottled beers, modest but adequate wines by glass or bottle fairly priced.

 Service can be spotty but usualy is friendly and efficient . Prices are fair ranging from about 6 - 35 most falling in the 13 range making it our go to place as should you.

So here's the deal.  The food is great.  Outstanding.  Soooo good.  But the service isn't there.  I've eaten here a few times (I travel to the area every so often) and for many years this has been the case.  Last time I was there, there were only two waiters working because there was a private party.  I had two little kids with me and it took a long time just to take the order, then 45 minutes to get it to our table - and that was with some complaining.  All in all, from the time we walked in to the time we started eating was well over an hour, maybe close to an hour and a half.  CALL IN ANOTHER WAITER!  

So, 6 stars on the food, 1.5 stars on the service.
