I mourned their closing and was hopeful when I heard they would return. But I felt like, there's no way they could measure up to the original. They exceeded my memory. New location embody a throwback and is more spacious than the original. Service was kind and fast. And the country fried steak and eggs was some of the best I've ever had. Every bite was extraordinary. I love this place. Welcome back Dave's. I too will be back.

Just dropped in for a to-go sandwich on a quick trip up to Erie, and what a pleasant surprise! My…read morechicken caprese sandwich was fantastic! Juicy chicken breast, goooey mozz with chopped, roasted red peppers and spinach - YUM! The menu says it should be on toasted Asiago, but that's not what this was on. It was on a plain hamburger-style bun, but it was still good. The fries were really flavorful, too - tasted/looked like handcut. Though I didn't eat there, the place was super cute inside. 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!)

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.

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!

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

I'm a sucker for diners (or dinors as it may be), and I enjoyed my meal at the Zodiac. 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.

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.
