It was so fluffy and had a great taste. My oldest got a waffle with strawberries and she said it was one of the best waffles she's had. I tried some and I agree! My youngest got a cheeseburger and fries and she thoroughly enjoyed them! Our waitress was so friendly and very attentive. I love the ambience of the place. We will definitely visit again when we are back in Erie!

My sister and I went to Avanti's after a bad experience with a rude owner at another dinor in Erie…read more We were welcomed at Avanti's and told to sit where we wanted. The restaurant was pretty packed, but we found a table near the window. Coffee and juice were served almost immediately. The service for food was a bit slow, but the woman serving told us they had just gotten a new computer program and they were adjusting. I ordered a garden omelet and my sister just had eggs and toast. The omelet was one of the best I've ever had. It was moist, with just enough cheese so the cheddar didn't overwhelm the taste of the veggies. Delicious, and our server was so sweet. A great experience, and we highly recommend Avanti's.

4/18/25 Ate List:…read moreCrispy Chicken Salad - 8.1 This mound of food is affectionately called a salad. 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.

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.

Good choices from eggs, omelette, pancakes and waffles. I chose the chorizo hash. I am told that was homemade where the corned beef hash is not. The chorizo had a nice heat. The potatoes and eggs were good too. Someone ordered banana pancakes, the chorizo Benedict, the frittata, and the sausage and gravy. All enjoyed their bfast. The sausage gravy was huge. Special nod to the home fries. They are good! Prices not too bad. About average if not a bit cheaper than most places. I'd go back. Everyone had a good Bfast and we enjoyed ourselves.

Step back 50 years and saunter into this diner close to the PA border that has intentionally…read moreremained in a time warp. Meeder's Restaurant has been a family operation for 50+ years. Its history is written on the menu. And if you're from another country and want to experience authentic American food in an authentic American atmosphere, Meeder's is one place to do so. And I did. Half of the tables were taken up with locals catching up on the latest happenings - or maybe complaining about how New York City is still bleeding them dry, with the support of the morons in Albany. You never know. It appears to be a mom-and-pop operation, with a businesslike Mom handling the money and an excitable Pop waiting the tables. A Norman Rockwell picture come to life. I had the quarter pound burger, with chips and a pickle on the side. The patty was pretty good, done medium well. And not much else. Unlike a chicken sandwich, which does not need extra stuff to make it taste good, burgers do need extras like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, roasted garlic, pico de gallo, and others to add to the taste. And this burger simply did not have enough. A little pricey. On the other hand, remember what I wrote about NYC bleeding Upstate and Western NY dry? Smart people are moving out of the state, if they can sell their houses. There is not much money to go around here. Meeder's pricing their food $1 higher than other places is how they stay in business. Meeder's Restaurant. Go for the living history, and take the food for what it is. America, Bless God.

While we sat there, we listened to staff bark at other customers too. Apparently being annoyed by your customers is part of the atmosphere. There were empty tables everywhere, people waiting to be seated, and the whole place seemed completely disorganized. The final straw was watching flies inside the bakery case landing on the cookies, cakes, and pies. We got up and left. If you're going to treat customers like they're an inconvenience, at least have your operation together. This place definitely did not.
