What Came First omelette
Lu H.

Food. Service. Ambience. You can go wrong with the food. This is a great breakfast place. In Erie for years!

Italian Sausage Eggs Benedict w/hash browns
Jessica S.

Small diner with pretty good food! We were sat in a booth by the front door and it was super cold outside so everytime someone would come in and out of the restaurant we would get hit with the wind. Our waitress was great though & the food we got was delicious! Parking is street parking but wasn't hard to find a spot.

Polish Breakfast

We have breakfast here every-time we visit Erie. The Polish breakfast kielbasa is the bomb! The restaurant is clean and the service is quick and friendly!

Two eggs and hashbrown with raisin bread
Elizabeth F.

We came here for breakfast while in the area. It was around 10 am on a Sunday and we waited a little outside before a table was ready. The flavored creamers had our table wanting to order coffee even though they had coffee earlier. Nice touch to get people wanting to try it. The breakfast is very standard fare. I opted for eggs, hash browns, and raisin toast. Fairly basic and got the job done. Service was attentive and food came out quickly. We enjoyed our meals

Menu

Just your average breakfast joint with great food and nice people. Pros: it is hard to mess up breakfast food, but also hard to make your breakfast good stand out. Avanti's succeeds. Great staff, and decent coffee, and gigantic portions. Cons: I tried their monster bowl, loaded with peppers and onions, scrambled eggs, Italian sausage, and sausage gravy over biscuits. Holy cow it was huge. There were so many different flavors they literally overpowered each other making a mess of my taste buds! Summary: next time I will stick to the sausage gravy and biscuits, that was delicious.

Italian Breakfast

Perfect breakfast place! We enjoyed the Italian breakfast and a polish breakfast- both very good. Coffee hit the spot, too. Fast friendly service. Thank you Anna Evie!

Build Your Own Omelette with Ham and Cheese  Hashbrowns and toast
Rachel C.

I've passed this restaurant for years, thinking it was an Italian restaurant from the name. After all those years, I decided to actually look into the restaurant and saw it was a breakfast spot! With that I decided to go on a busy Saturday morning. The service was extremely fast. I got a ham and cheese omelette with hashbrowns and toast and it was very good. If I had to say anything about it I didn't like that the ham was really big chunks and not smaller. It did hit the spot though. I also had a bite of the pancakes and they were super fluffy and excellent as well. Overall, I think this is a nice local breakfast spot if you're looking for some classic american breakfast.

Great bacon! Can get a croissant instead of toast. Love the meatball omelet. Great diner feel. Like the Capri in Boise.

Pineapple Eddie Southern Bistro - Jerk chicken

I'd come back 10 times over…read more Every dish has good care and creativity, tastes delicious. Kind and prompt service, suitable for young kids.

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.

In response to Milen D's recent review of Firestones(which I witnessed)…read more I honestly can't decide what's more embarrassing: your experience at the restaurant or the fact that you thought this review was worth posting. You apparently walked in expecting the entire establishment to revolve around your very specific demands, got disappointed, called someone a "clown," accused them of lying, and then produced this barely decipherable masterpiece of nonsense. The staff didn't fail you--you failed to understand where you were, what they offered, and apparently how restaurants work. And judging by the grammar and coherence of this review, I'm not sure you were in any condition to be evaluating anyone else's performance. Being unhappy with a meal is one thing. Throwing a tantrum because a restaurant didn't conform to whatever bizarre expectations you had in your head is another. Do everyone a favor next time: stay home, lower your expectations, and let the adults enjoy their dinner without having to witness another episode of The World's Most Confused Customer. The restaurant got one bad review. You got permanently immortalized as the person who wrote it. I'd say one of those is considerably harder to recover from.

Firestone's Kitchen…read more This was the BEST pizza I've had in Erie as a traveller looking to settle here. I've tried 3 others, mostly very flat on crust or flavor (all independent places). Firestone's pizza has an excellent char, solid sauce and flavorful toppings. The restaurant also has a beer/wine store, and a eye pleasing meat counter/butcher. I have no complaints - friendly service, fair priced pizza for excellent quality, and the liquor section has some charm to the decor. ***From the road, look for Gordon's (even though Firestone Kitchen is the eatery). Gordon's is more prominent from the road.

I asked bartender if I could place…read morean order, she said "the waitress will be around to take my order." 45 minutes later, waitress came by to clean off table next to me. I hdld up menu and said "sure like to order", she completely ignored me and never came back. I was there 4 times last 2 weeks, because I moved in with my brother, after having a stroke. Worst customer service EVER! When I went back to talk to owner , two drunks tried to get in my face, I'm have martial arts training, so it wouldn't have been pretty. Anyway if you want BAD SERVICE, THAT PLACE ON W 26th is more than willing to accommodate. NEVER BE BACK, I'LL WALK 2 Reservoir 26, which is half mile away. At least I can get service, without it being an "issue." ​

The smells of smoke and beer and short-order cooking...the sounds of mindless sports shows on the TV - even the Price is Right makes for good watching...the murmur of the type of chatter that seems so important at the time...I miss all of these things so much, but I'm here to tell you, That Place on 26th St still has it all and they deliver both barrels! The place was PACKED, so I didn't try to get lunch yesterday, but I'll be heading back very soon cause the reason the place was PACKED was the food they were serving - the day's special was stromboli and one after another came in and ordered one or two or three, some stayed and ate, some left with their orders, but the flow never even slowed! Yes, smoking is permitted, but so what? If that bothers you, you're probably better off in a safe little corporate "pub". THIS is a REAL tavern and they are worth more than a try. Stop in, grab some beers and a bite and enjoy all the memories they bring up!
