Their menu is complete with all of the breakfast and simple lunch classics that you'd expect but I especially recommend and enjoy the scrambles, which have the most perfectly prepared potatoes, veggies, and whatever other fixings you favor. Watch out - their toast is the real deal, made with fresh, homemade style bread that is cut thick, full of flavor, and melts in your mouth all while having that perfect crunch. Their homestyle breakfast option is also an incredible hit - eggs, home fires, veggies AND a biscuit with sausage gravy on top! Crazy and oh so good! The space is also very roomy, plenty of room for crowds without feeling packed and the service is always fast and friendly.

In town on business and as an Elite Yelper I'm always searching for local establishments, so I was…read morethrilled to find this cute little diner. The guys were all welcoming and friendly and even offered to bring my order to my car for me. I went for the lunch special, 2 Greek dogs (coney's with mustard and onion) and a drink. The hot dogs had a little snap (which I love!) and the coney sauce was appropriately spicy with a tiny kick of heat. The buns seemed steamed, which was also great, in my opinion. I also ordered a side of fried mushrooms- wow! The small size was definitely enough for two! But man! Probably the best fried mushrooms I've ever had. The batter was light and fluffy and also nicely crispy. Perfect! So happy I found this little Greek diamond. And that, folks, is all she wrote.

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.

Somewhere beneath the fries and chicken there is a ton of lettuce, cheese, onion, tomato, and hard boiled egg. It's always a touch humorous to have your bowl arrive, be bigger than everyone else's AND have the luxury of technically being "a salad." It's delicious. Lorie's is also a staple for my family. Whenever I visit, I'm typically adventuring across their breakfast menu, and I've never been disappointed. Service is kind and some of the fastest I've experienced. This spot deserves to be in the Erie "Hall of Fame" restaurant wise, but I feel the fact it is not, adds to the charm. Love this spot and I hope you do too.

This is an old-style breakfast dinor spot. They offer various options from the basic omelet or eggs…read moreBenedict to sandwiches and salad. Tried their omelet with hash brown, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I really like their crispy hash brown. Waitstaff is very nice and service was quick. The parking situation is quite tricky here, as they have a small parking lot right behind the restaurant, that would only fit about 5-6 cars. If you go during rush hours you might have to park on the street instead. Do not park in the lot on the right side of the building as there is a sign notifying that you will get towed

They had a…read moredecent sized menu with a lot of selections, plus an additional 6-8 chalked up on the back wall as specials. I'm actually not a huge breakfast eater, so I went with my standard 2 eggs, toast, and breakfast potatoes. I thought the bread was nice and fresh (though not exactly toasty), and the potatoes were for sure fresh cut, which was a really nice touch. I also had a garden salad, which was a pretty standard diner salad - romaine, some tomatoes, shredded cheese, and olives as a surprise addition. Decent size and price. The service was quick and so was our food. I thought it was a solid breakfast. Note - there is no parking, so we parked a block or so away and walked.

I'd say there is plenty of room for all three. The owner served me the pulled pork sandwich, which she said they smoke themselves and make fresh every day. For $6, it was a good portion (with a side of mac salad) and indeed, it was super tender and really tasty pork, complemented by a soft, fresh, white roll. They are running on a generator currently, which I found odd, until I read on GoErie that the city is no longer letting food trucks pay fees to access city electric--which is complete bullshit if you ask me (but that's an argument for another place and day). I'll be back to try another sandwich too.

The staff was polite/friendly. We'll definitely be back, if we have to go to Erie again. (Apologies for the pic! It was pouring rain, and I was starving!)
