    Chocolate cake
    Katie C.

    This was only my second time at Curly's within a year. The first time I believe I had a ribeye on special and loved it. This time I honestly wasn't as impressed with the food (for the price or in general). I like what Curly's is trying to do and I do appreciate the upscale vibe being brought to Ridge Rd. But honestly the jerk pork was super dry and prices were higher than I would have liked for what was offered. I didn't grab a pic of my meal (forgot). I will say the drinks were very good! Dessert was also tasty. And we got in with a last minute reservation but didn't even need it. We went on a Friday night in December at 6:30pm and there were a ton of tables open; which yes is convenient but also indicative. Service was pretty quick. The bartenders are always pretty friendly. I'd go back and maybe give it a third try just go be sure. I want to like it!

    Double Fried Korean Wings
    Sammy K.

    Not the best but not bad. My father ordered a skillet with shrimp but it wasn't any better than what you would get at Applebees with the 2 for $25 deal, so stay away from the skillets. I had the Jerk Chicken with coconut steeped rice. The chicken was flavorful and was a big portion. It was drenched in sauce which didn't allow me to enjoy the crispy skin. The spice level could be taken down a snitch in my opinion but a decent dish overall. The start of the show was the Chicken Ochie. An amazing dish. The few bites my date shared were divine. 100% recommend! The Doibled Fried Korean BBQ wings were an amazing app! Loved them! The service was okay. She was working 8 tables so that suffered. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Great music playing while dining. Overall I was hoping for better. I'll give it another shot and update later

    Breakfast pizza
    Arlene L.

    Disappointing Easter brunch. A last minute change to Easter plans left my husband and I looking for somewhere to have brunch. I called a few places earlier this week and ended up making a reservation at Curly's. We haven't been there in years and now I remember why. We waited a little longer than we should've for our server to come to the table. They were offering a limited brunch menu since it's Easter so it didn't take long to decide what we were ordering. My husband ordered the breakfast pizza and I chose the breakfast skillet. My guess is that a lot of what was being offered had been made in advance. The crust of the pizza definitely wasn't made from scratch and there was hardly anything on it. The hash browns of the skillet were dry and hard. The eggs were not freshly scrambled and topped with a slice of cheese fresh from the wrapper. The mimosa just tasted like very acidic orange juice. Definitely not worth the price! Won't be back.

    Silk and Satin entree
    Laura D.

    I was craving pasta after a very busy day. So, I ordered to go...cup of black bean soup, my favorite Silk and Satin, and key lime pie! OMG!! Sooooo, good, a freezing cold night and it really hit the spot. She said fifteen minutes, and by Joe it was ready when I arrived! I sure was pleasantly surprised on the entire experience The only rub was I would've enjoyed a piece of bread, to sop up all the left over goodness. I would recommend take out from Curlys anytime!

    Swiss roll chocolate almond dessert
    Samantha C.

    Who knew there was a great restaurant in this area of Lackawanna? I sure didn't. We discovered Curly's last night and had a lovely time there. We both ordered excellent drinks and tried FOUR appetizers because we could not decide what to order. The mussels had a creamy cheese sauce. I'd never had mussels that way before and they were quite good and served in a very healthy portion. The gnocchi poutine was rich with pulled pork and cheese. A smaller portion for a good reason! The beef pockets had a great curry seasoning and were crispy and delicious, served with a substantial amount of delicious sauce. The Korean wings were the star of the show. Huge, delicious, very crispy, with a perfect sweet Asian chili sauce. We were stuffed but for dessert we tried a Swiss roll made of almond meringue filled with chocolate ganache and decorated with fresh berries and cream. And a homemade ice cream strawberry sundae. Can't wait to try this place again. Seabass was on the menu and I look forward to trying it soon! The ambiance in the restaurant was great, good music, chill atmosphere, and tasteful decor. Service was also excellent.

    Jerk chicken
    Nikki G.

    My friends and I recently celebrated our half birthdays and chose Curly's to do so, as 2 out of 3 of us are gluten free. We went on a Tuesday and it was a very laid back atmosphere, which was great. We had a drink at the bar and casually wandered to our table when we were ready to eat. I ordered the smoked maple old fashioned, which was strong and tasty. My friends had the smoked s'more drink, which I tried a sip and liked it. It wasn't sweet at all, which is always a plus. We ordered the beet salad to share and the waiter even brought out gluten free rolls for the table, which was so great and accommodating. They tasted great with some butter, or olive oil for dipping. The beet salad had goat cheese in it and it was fabulous. The portion was huge, so it was the perfect sharing size for 3 people, and it would be great for 4 as well as an appetizer, or addition to your entree to share. While at the table, I also ordered the bourbon jam drink, which I enjoyed and my friend had the apple sangria, which she had been wanting to get all night. She liked hers as well. My friend and I went with the jerk chicken dinner. It was cooked wonderfully and had the perfect amount of char on it. It came with rice and beans. It was a satisfying dish. My other friend ordered the scallops and enjoyed her dish as well. Of course no half birthday celebration would be complete without dessert. My friend and I ordered the cookie skillet, gluten free. The waiter asked if we were going to share and we said no. When it arrived, we knew why he had asked about sharing. It was humongous, but delicious and we were in heaven. Our other friend ordered the s'more cheesecake. It came with chocolate marshmallows, and she liked hers as well. I highly recommend this spot, especially if you are gluten free. We had such a great time that we closed the place down. The service was great and everyone was friendly.

    Tofu stir-fry
    Linda M.

    First time here. My first impression was a local bar and grill trying to be a fine dining restaurant. I had been told it was a Caribbean restaurant and hadn't looked at the menu in advance so was expecting more that a few 'jerk' dishes. We started the meal with drinks and our waiter brought out rolls with a dipping oil. The rolls were terrible! Kind of rubbery hard like you'd get from putting a roll in the microwave. At our table the orders included a Bistro tender, open faced steak sandwich, a stir fried chicken skillet, a stir fried tofu skillet, and Chicken Achie. The stir fries definitely were the hit at the table. Both were loaded with fresh, crisp colorful veggies. The response to how was the chicken ochre was 'ok'. Nothing bad but nothing great either. The open face sandwich was pretty bland. Best part of the evening was the service. Our waitor (forgot his name, sorry!) Was fantastic! He was attentive, helpful, and friendly. He and obviously my company made what could have been a blah meal enjoyable. Good service makes such a big difference. 2022-18

    House salad
    Jesse W.

    For Easter lunch/dinner (yeah, the review is a little late!) we took Curly's up on their family meal. It was said to feed a family of 4-6 or so, and priced to reflect. Picking the meal up was a practice in patience. It was a popular offering to be sure, and cars lined Ridge Rd waiting for their pick-up. We ended up being asked four times for our information as we saw cars around us pull away. When ours was finally ready, the server loaded a big cardboard box into the back seat of the car and we were off. After getting home and decontaminated from the shopping trip, we opened the meal tins and re-plated what needed it. Unfortunately when doing so, we discovered that both the potatoes and ham had been burned. The potatoes were burned along the sides of the ribs and the top layers of ham were either slightly burned or well dried out. No doubt a side effect of being cooked in the thin tin trays rather than conventional containers. As far as taste goes, everything was delicious. And given in very generous portions. The corn and ham ended getting added into numerous other meals until we we're finally able to finish it all! Everyone agreed that the potatoes were the hit of the meal. Creamy and cheesy and full of flavor, even though we did have to throw out the burnt edges. The meal was good, however tweaks in preparation and serving could have improved the experience.

    Blueberry vodka on the sidewalk patio
    Pat M.

    Made a reservation for patio dining on the first day of allowable outdoor dining during the phase II reopening of Erie County. Left a message for a reservation which was confirmed with a voicemail within an hour. We arrived to see the staff wearing protective masks and were promptly seated. The seating area was limited to six sidewalk tables which were all occupied. Planters separated the dining area from the public sidewalk. The menu was fairly extensive. We ordered several appetizers and one entree as well as drinks. They had a nice selection of craft cocktails but only bottled beer. We ordered a vodka lemonade and blueberry vodka which were both served promptly and tasty. For appetizers we ordered a beet salad, Korean wings, and Mac n cheese. They were served in a reasonable amount of time and were equally tasty. The jerk chicken dinner was also served at an appropriate time and was very good. All in all they provided very good food and service which has always been our experience in the past. Great to see them back !

    a large white building with a clock tower
    A R.

    We used to be fairly regular here. But times change and new better restaurants are born. This was a last minute thing and the food was a big let down. Even when we arrived there was no one around to greet us. We waited for 3x longer than was reasonable to see an employee. Then we're rewarded with the worst possible table. I let them know that and we were changed to a good regular table. Then we didn't see a server for a really long time. Then the food was quite disappointing. Runny curry noodles that bit me back the next day. And my wife was Really disappointed with her jerk chicken salad, small, not grilled chicken, too much cinnamon. We're not going here anymore. Missed on everything.

    Shrimp
    Courtney M.

    My first time here and had a great date night! The service was great! Our waitress was awesome and answered any questions we had regarding the menu. I ordered the sea bass special and WOW! It was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. It was the best sea bass I have had yet. My husband ordered the lamb chops and I'm glad he let me try. They were so tender and cooked to perfection. Such great flavor. We started with a Korean shrimp appetizer and that was also great and from the specials list. I will definitely be back!

    Mussels with Blue cheese - who knew! Delicious

    We went to Curlys last minute tonight and we had such a great meal and experience. Food was OUTSTANDING and service was fabulous. Great night out - have to go there! Scallops, Crab cakes and Sea Bass were so good - augratin potatoes were perfect!

However, after my brother's Sweet 16, the total was suddenly increased to $2,200 with no clear explanation. When questioned, the owner denied ever agreeing to the original price, despite multiple witnesses and repeated conversations confirming it. There were also several other inconsistencies leading up to the event. Initially, the owner told my mother that decoration would be handled and specifically instructed her not to bring anything like balloons. Closer to the event, that changed, and we were then told that no decorations would be provided at all. What made the situation even more frustrating was that only about half of our expected guests attended, meaning less work and fewer resources were needed. Despite this, the price was still significantly increased. My mother even attempted to pay in advance to avoid any confusion, but the owner declined at the time, only to later raise the price. The way this situation was handled caused significant stress and ultimately left my mother in tears and my brother very upset on what was supposed to be a special celebration. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this venue and would encourage others to look elsewhere. I would give this zero stars if I could

Staff and management was very hard to work with, I came in there looking to only rent the room so I'd have the option to bring my own catering since it was an african traditional wedding, we needed african food , I think that decision alone was was when they decided to charge me for literally everything extra that should've been included with the room( I understand all receptions don't have the same policy) from the chairs, chair covers etc, I think they've never had rented the room before without their catering so they were creating rules and policies on the spot. They told me the person decorating couldn't come the day before to decorate and only gave her 3 hrs "free of charge"the day of the wedding to do everything, And any extra hours would be $150 per hour. I recently found out another lady who got married there recently after my wedding, they gave the person decorating the Friday before and the Saturday before her wedding to decorate with noooo charge!!!! I couldn't even have my wedding rehearsal the Friday before the wedding because they said I'd have to pay $250 per hour.. and I was already over my budget. I booked for the bigger room at the villa, however the day of my wedding, the lady decorating found out that half the room was filled with unused chairs and tables that they were supposed to remove and cover that part with a black curtain.they try to gaslight me saying I never said I wanted the full room, like what???? Why in the world I would pay full price and only use half the room? I did tell them I wanted the cleaning crew as well, I thought they included that in the bill, comes to find out at the end of my wedding that I never booked for the cleaning crew, I didnt planned for anyone to clean after, but a few people helped me. I had to be taken away since I was crying so much, so the garbage bin they wanted my people to throw the garbage at was all the way at the end of the parking lot near the bushes.Mind you, there was no light near that garbage bin, There was another bin near the door so all the garbage bags were put there cause it was scary to go all the way there,So I was charged for leaving the garbage out. So so many things happened and I barely got any change out of my deposit. I never met the owner. I was only working with Amanda and I forgot the other ladies name .its like they pick and choose who to treat well and treated me horribly, Everything was charged for. DO NOT BOOK, unless you want to use their catering service maybe I would have had a better experience. I was absolutely dissatisfied.
