Great food and service! Perfect for lunch, breakfast or brunch. Great addition to our community.

We decided to try Erica's for Sunday Brunch, our first time eating here since new owners took over and remodeled from when it was Eric's. Got there about noon today, lots of waitress staff and lots working behind the grill area. Lots of empty tables. My husband ordered an omelet with toast and I ordered a waffle with strawberries. As we waited for our order, I observed numerous waitresses with their hair hanging down in their faces and over their shoulders flying about freely as they served customers, then went to cash register got people change and I almost gagged watching the tall waitress with long pony tail and huge false eyelashes grab a glass with her bare hands and start making a peach Bellini drink, took her bare hands and threw a cherry into the glass. I had to put my thoughts together in order to write this review I was in such disbelief as to what I was seeing. Our food arrived quickly and the waffle was raw in the middle and a big soggy mess with frozen bagged strawberries that looked like they were opened days ago. I seriously ran my fork through it looking for stray hairs. She asked if I'd like syrup when I ordered the waffle and I said yes please. She brought a small mason jar caraf to the table with an inch of syrup in it. Needless to say I didn't even use the syrup as the waffle was very disappointing. When our check arrived the waffle advertised as $6.95 had $1.99 for syrup and $1.99 for the strawberries. I didn't say anything because I was in awe of the sticky tables and poor hygiene of the people serving my food. As we paid our $31 check an elderly couple came in and sat down and Miss Big eyelashes greeted them and said she would be their waitress, the elderly patron said, I want another server, you were terrible the last time we ate here! My husband and I just shook our heads and left in extreme disbelief at the brunch we just paid $31 for. We are locals and we always support small local businesses but we will NEVER set our feet in Erica's again. Someone should call the health department. read more

This place used to be called Erics. Food was excellent. but pricey. Went there today for a takeout pot pie. Chicken was tough and dry, peas were raw, potatoes were undercooked, and bottom crust was raw. Overall, a completely unsatisfactory dish. We will not be back. read more

Tried Erica's for the first time today and we both loved it! Service was great and our food was delicious, we will definitely go back.

Excellent food and service! Veggie omelet was best I've had, home fries prefect and oh my fresh baked bread toast to top it off. Husband loved the pot pie. Must visit!!! read more

We ordered the Erickburger and from the lighter side menu the shrimp dinner. Both meals come with an abundance of food. Hamburger was very large could not eat it all, and the fries were absolutely awesome! If for no other reason coming here for the french fries would be well worth the trip. The shrimp was very good with a very light writing on them and not overcooked. The staff is very friendly and the food service was very quick and very attentive. read more

The food and service were outstanding! Home made bread, yummy. Hayley was our server, she did a wonderful job!

We had a great breakfast this morning. We both had omelets. They were everything you would expect a good omelet to be...cheesy, fluffy, hearty. They were generously stuffed with ham and delicious. The raisin bread was a stand out. Rustic and baked perfection. We got a blueberry pancake. Hubby liked it but I like my pancakes just a touch sweeter. Speaking of sweeter, he got a beautiful and yummy mug of hot chocolate that he loved. All in all a fantastic experience with great service, wonderful food and a lovely facility. read more

My son found two hairs in his scrambled eggs. They remade the food which was okay but I'm surprised they still charged us for his meal. Overpriced, dated decor. I don't understand the good ratings for this place. read more

Perfect Sunday breakfast spot. Great atmosphere and nice people. We got an omelette and the eggs Benedict and they were so good! Mushrooms and artichokes in the omelette so that was a new thing for me but still excellent. The crepes were great as well, a bit thick but so tasty! read more

A great breakfast! Very generous portions - even my bowl of oatmeal was gigantic. Loved the tiny sweet blueberries atop it! My son had a delicious western style omlette stuffed with goodies and hearty bread, while my husband's eggs over medium were perfectly cooked along with hash browns and bread. The wait staff was very pleasant and the dining room was welcomingly warm - which we appreciated having been cold everywhere else. This place was packed at 9 o'clock of a Sunday morning and it is no surprise, they deserve to do a good business. We will be back! read more

This place is great! The specials are always yummy, and the regular menu is awesome too. Good food, nice staff, and a clean restaurant. They serve breakfast and lunch. My wife loves the chicken pot pie. Grab a muffin to go! read more

This place was fantastic! I had the seafood Benedict, my boyfriend had the reuben, and his brother had blueberry pancakes. The hollandaise was the best ive ever had. Everything was prepared so well. The service was great. And the early morning st pattys day mimosa was perfect. read more

Eric's has become my go-to place for breakfast when I'm in town. All the breakfast options are tasty, and I really appreciate the chance to buy a smaller serving of the specials: it leaves room in the budget for juice and coffee or tea and helps me avoid the post-breakfast bloat. Service is really fast and friendly and the fancy bistro-themed dining room adds a touch of whimsy to the day. read more

The food was good the service was good but the portions were small and overpriced. Left hungry. Had the chicken and waffles.

We came here morning after an overnight in town for a wedding. The place was crowded, but they sat us quickly and with very friendly service. I had a Bloody Mary....it was ok. The Mary mixture was too thick and lacked any spice or flavor depth. Coffee was good and seven in a large cup. I found the menu to be your basic breakfast spot, a bit of a spiffed up breakfast diner menu. I had the rancheros eggs....this wasn't prepared with fresh veggie salsa and a crisp tortilla....it was more of a scramble with cups of sour cream and jarred salsa on the side. Unimaginative, it was average, and something anyone with basic cooking skills could have served. The grilled English muffin wasn't really grilled, as it didn't have any grill marks or crispness that a flat top pressing would provide. I also had a side of their corn beef hash, which I test at any breakfast stop. This hash was under-flavored, and more importantly, didn't have the crispy sear that a pressing on the flat top would provide it. All in all....this is an average, fairly generic breakfast spot. The staff was friendly, and the service was fine. The food, average at best. Three stars, I'd try it again if ever back in the area. read more

Went in for breakfast food was great staff is very friendly and attentive. Will go back again if I'm in the area.

Great food. Great and friendly service. They cater to individuals as well as groups. We had a group of 10 and all got served quickly.

Had a delicious and giant omelette! Well priced and quick to sit down, order and get my food. The food was tasty and the service was great.

What an awesome gem in Waterville ME! For years I've been visiting my kids at camp here, but never found this place. So glad to stumble upon it today! Great breakfasts with many options and hearty portions. Everything from the tasty omelets to homemade raisin bread is absolutely delicious. The seafood eggs Benedict's are a MUST try! Thank you Eric's! read more

This place is always busy so may have to wait for a seat but you can call ahead. Food is very good. Seafood Benedict is a favorite. Attentive waitresses. read more

We are vacationing in Waterville and this spot was recommended by our Airbnb host. He didn't steer us wrong!! The food was delicious, fresh and service was great. Highly recommend the Jack Benny. We also tried their muffins which were also great! read more

I love Eric's!!! The food is always hot, the service is great and the restaurant is always clean. I love their different coffees they offer and you get plenty to eat for your money. This is a hidden gem in Waterville that is for sure! read more

I went to Eric's in Waterville Maine. I have had sausage biscuits and gravy the past three times going here. But all of a sudden we can't get it, because it is not"the special". This was the worst breakfast I have ever had!!! The hash was tasteless, and my family had that and now we are all sick. The eggs were cold, and my milk was warm. The worst part, this was 30 dollars. I would have rather gone to McDonald's. 1/14/18 Eric's Waterville Maine read more

The service here is great! The portions are huge. It is good old american food. Always trust the specials and I hear they cater!

If I could give this restaurant zero stars, I would. My aunt and uncle came to Eric's to eat and decided to order pie for dessert. They both have serious tree nut allergies, and informed the waitress before ordering. The waitress "checked" the ingredients of the pie crust and came back saying it was all clear. They were halfway through eating the pie when the waitress came back to the table LAUGHING, and said that there actually were nuts in the pie crust. She showed no concern at all. Never going back!!! read more

Just visiting the area, and WOW!! The crab cake eggs Benedict was amazing, best crab cake ever!! The western omelette was fantastic! But the real star was the fresh baked bread!! We grabbed a loaf of the cinnamon raisin to take home! read more

Party of 5 stood around waiting to be seated where there were many empty seats. Told they were "reserved". Finally seated after 7-10 minutes. Food only ok. many seats still empty when we left. No need to return. read more

A local recommended Eric's to me and I'm glad he did. I've been twice and it was a great experience both times. The menu is varied. It's a mix between a nice dinner and a high-end cafe. The food is very good. The service is even better. I highly recommend. read more

Love this place. Great service, great food. They do it with a nice touch of class.

My wife and I are big breakfast people and we really like Eric's. It is definitely classier then any other breakfast place we have eaten at in Central Maine (and we have eaten at most of them). The decor is very well done and the waitress uniforms very professional in appearance. They need to maybe advertise better because we have lived in the area for three years and never knew they were here. Most of the decor of the breakfast establishments in the Augusta/Waterville area are dated and could stand to be updated. All the food we ordered was tasty, including the coffee. The waitress was also very attentive (and cute I should add). We will be going back for breakfast again early tomorrow morning (worth the 15 mile drive). read more

Had breakfast here today . We ordered a ham and cheese omelet, French toast with strawberries and whip cream , eggs with bacon , toast and home fries . The coffee was great . I especially enjoyed the hazelnut , but the regular was also very good . The service was excellent and the food was delivered quickly . The only thing I wish was that the homefries were from scratch not from uniform , likely frozen potatoes. read more

The eggs Benedict here is my absolute favorite. I could definitely eat here everyday.

This is my favorite breakfast spot!!! I love how friendly everyone is, how clean the restaurant always is as and how there is always such a variety to choose from. It is such a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Keep up the great work! read more

Went for breakfast Sunday morning. Everything was delicious, the place was nice, and the service was pleasant. A perfect Sunday morning.

Great restaurant! The food always tastes so fresh, everything is well -prepared and the selection is plentiful. A wonderful breakfast spot, the best in the central Maine area, and I have tried dozens! My menu favorites are the Seafood Eggs Benedict for breakfast, or a reuben with fries for lunch. The staff are so friendly and the French flair to the decor adds a perfect touch. Erics has been our favorite for years. read more

Great find! Attentive service, clean and the food was well prepared and tasty. Will be back

A gem of a find--all fresh ingredients and food made on-stite. I highly recommend this eatery. Reasonable prices and superb portions. Great specials. read more

The food is pretty good but the service is terrible. We waited 40 minutes for a table, then 30 more minutes to be served a meal after ordering. Meanwhile, empty tables were available despite us having to stand awkwardly in the doorway, clearly in the way of the servers--as they subtly let us know--but apparently those empty tables were reserved for someone else more important than us--they arrived 15 minutes after we were seated. Our glasses were refilled only once during the meal, and the food was served piecemeal with some of our party hovering over plates for 5 minutes until the whole table was served. By then the first plates were cold. No meal, no matter how could it could have been, tastes good when you feel unwelcome by the host and servers. Kudos to the chef, who saved this from being a one-star review. The food was well prepared if perhaps tame on seasoning to appease an over-65 crowd. If you're visiting from Florida for the summer, this place is for you. Be sure you are in no hurry to get fed. read more
