    Very cute dinor, decor was done well. In a nice area. First time to this location. I went on a Tuesday for a late breakfast. I was greeted by very friendly and attentive staff. I ordered the basic "The Double" for breakfast, which included 2 eggs, choice of bacon or sausage link's , choice of home fries or hash brown's, along with various toast choices. I figured this would be a good gauge of the restaurant. I ordered eggs over medium, sausage links, hash browns with sourdough toast. I received my meal fairly promptly. I must say, with all the hype over this new dinor, I was not impressed with the food. Portion size was small. Eggs were done well, however they must use small size eggs. I ordered sausage links, only to receive 1 small part of a piece of sausage. I questioned the waitress as to why I only had 1 piece of a small sausage link. She explained that they used to serve two, but then changed to a larger sausage. Therefore, they cut it in half since it was "bigger". It was still smaller than any sausage I've had at any dinor, and I ate it in three bites. I have to say it was good tasting sausage, just the portion was way too small. The hash browns I received were flattened thinner than a pancake and rather skimpy. Usually a breakfast like this is plentiful on the hash browns, but not here. The sourdough toast was toasted well, buttered and tasty. The coffee was good and served hot. I really wanted to like my first experience, but was disappointed in the food. I am still willing to give it one more try, maybe next time I'll order lunch instead. My total bill came to $15 and some change, which I would have been ok with, had it had been a filling breakfast, which it definitely was not.

    After an early morning appointment in Erie, I was hungry and decided to grab some breakfast before making the 1.5 hour return trip to Cleveland. Much to my surprise was this vintage 50s diner, complete with with white checkered tiles and hanging lights! I was seated immediately and after glancing over the menu, decided on the veggie omelet. The omelet was a fine mix of peppers, mushrooms, cheese, and came with home fries and warm sourdough bread. What a delightful take on a traditional American favorite! If I am ever out in Erie again, I'll definitely make a point of stopping at Dave's!

    Burger and onion rings

    Old school perfection in a fun atmosphere. A walk back in time with fresh classic American food. Onion rings are crispy and perfect. Burgers were cooked perfectly juicy and service was quick and friendly. Great lunch!

    Don't typically give five star ratings. However, we found this little gem on Yelp and couldn't be happier that we stopped by. It's clean, family friendly, and the service was great. The only suggestion I have is that you go hungry, as the portions are HUGE. The other nice thing is it's all priced great - way below what you would pay elsewhere. If your looking for a great breakfast spot, this is it!

    Hamburger melt with fries

    We stumbled across this place and were impressed. I had a hamburger melt. Burger was a little small but it was tasty and the portions were awesome. My son had the big breakfast and was very pleased. Definitely a great little find!

    Only about a five minute drive from the Marriott and since the hotel got poor reviews for breakfast decided to check this place out. Very busy but a short wait and food was delicious! I personally didn't care for the sausage but eggs toast bacon potatoes and service were all great I would go back for sure!

    Breakfast was delicious, we both got the big breakfast, the cinnamon pancakes were SO good! Diner was clean with a super cool diner vibe. Our waitress, Brittany was great, very friendly. Our little one enjoyed his breakfast, too! When we are back in Erie, we will be back for breakfast! Reasonably priced.

    My husband and I went to Firebirds for our 49th wedding anniversary…read more Damen was our server, he gave us excellent service! I had ordered the 3 course that included dessert, but he surprised us with an additional dessert, an Anniversary card signed by some of the staff and , most unexpected, a glass of champagne for each of us!! Thank you Damen for making our evening so special!

    I didn't like anything about this food experience, was a disappointment especially after reading…read moresome of the other reviews. Decided to order pick up for Superbowl eats. We didn't like anything. Everything was flavorless, and over priced. We had the firebird's duranjo burger. Nice size, but over cooked and not seasoned. The parmesean crusted chicken, although a nice size and cooked perfectly again no seasoning, expected to be able taste the Parmesan crust, nothing.. We both upgraded our side to the southwest au gratin potatoes. Au gratin potatoes a creamy jalepeno cream sauce sounds like a flavor bomb, NOPE, the potatoes were under cooked and not sure how you manage not to get flavor out of jalepeno cream sauce, but they did! The crispy cauliflower with the jar sweet chili sauce was probably the best thing we did have. You can get brunch all day so, I ordered the hipster toast, and I was pictured cat fished. Mine was nothing like the picture, although I appreciate they didn't build the toast for take out and allowed me to do that myself. Still, there was maybe 7 little little cubes of avocado, no pickled onions, no spiced pecans, no parmesan cheese. What I did get was a piece of toast with goat cheese, then a box of arugula, 7 pieces of small small avocado, candied bacon pieces, radishes and heirloom tomatoes. Basically a 17 plus salad on bread. Totally a waste and not worth it. I will say though, the cilantro lime vinaigrette was delicious. But spending over 90 bucks and only enjoying a vingerette and cauliflower, won't have be coming back. Maybe ordering on Superbowl Sunday was a mistake, but I'll never know.
