    I visited on a "tenderloin Tuesday" , and it was a great visit. The service was quick and efficient, we were there during lunch so it was pretty busy. The tenderloin was great, hand breaded, breading was seasoned well, the meat wasn't too thin or thick and fried in fresh oil perfectly! I have eaten BPT's all over the Midwest and this is in the top 5 in Indiana. I know that I will certainly be back.

    Fish and chips.

    There aren't many options when it comes to food around the Hamilton Heights area unless you want fast food, so we were excited to find Erika's Place. We enjoyed the cozy feel of a small-town restaurant. It almost felt like you were sitting around Grandma's kitchen table. This is the kind of place where you are greeted with a smile and taken care of like you're family. If you like home cooking, this is your kind of place. There were plenty of options to keep my picky eaters happy, and the adults satisfied as well. I enjoyed the fish and chips. The fish was breaded beautifully. I don't usually enjoy battered/breaded fish, but this was done so nicely that I enjoyed every bite. I'm certain that we will be back someday.

    Never a bad meal at this restaurant! Pacer breakfast lunch and dinner items. Great options of sandwiches, salads, steaks and some signature dishes. All cooked to order, freshly made and their pies, oh my! This visit my sister had the cheeseburger and onion rings, which she said are to die for. But note if you don't like your hamburger well done you need to tell the server. I had the hand breaded tenderloin. It was a nice thick piece of meat, lightly breaded, cooked to crispy perfection. My side was their crinkle cut fries. Personally, I would have preferred the fries cooked just a little bit longer for that nice crisp on the outside but they were good. The fresh pies arranged from coconut, chocolate, and peanut butter and then newly arriving today was sugar cream, so we shared a piece of the sugar cream pie and that was delectable. I'm in town for a few days, I'll definitely visit this place again.

    Great food and service. Simple, but never been disappointed with quality. Chicken fried chicken is perfect!

    A nice little small town diner. Good food at reasonable prices. Staff is friendly, courteous, and attentive. The dining area is a bit small, which might be a problem for large groups.

    Combo: Hash brown, 1/4 biscuits & gravy.   Two eggs ala carte. Less than $10!

    Made a trip to Cicero for brunch. Local chef said it was one of best breakfast restaurant around. I read a review from early in Covid era; this person noted staff was not wearing masks. I decided if they were mask free I would not stay. I was pleasantly greeted by staff members with masks on. The place is fairly small, and you need to use street parking. I went on a weekday in off hours to avoid parking or seating issues. I had hash browns, 1/4 biscuit and gravy with two eggs. The gave you a lot of food. Hash browns were excellent. I like my gravy more seasoned, but salt and pepper was on table. Since it's small, I would guess it's hard to have a 'private' conversation. Cicero is a quaint town. I had no phone service while in the restaurant. I will make trip again.

    Very great place to eat. Good service and excellent food. Very clean too. Had the French toast and a side of fruit. The French toast was some of the best I've ever had. My dad had the breaded pork tenderloin and thought it was delicious. Overall, outstanding place.

    This place continues to amaze me. Great meal again…read more The filet is spot on every time. This time it was Beef Wellington. Sea bass - solid. Hamburger- excellent

    PARKING: 5/5 A lot of free street parking, which we used, as…read morewell as it appeared that parking lots were available to the south and west of the building as well as across the street. SERVICE: 5/5 We made a reservation, but arrived early and were still seated promptly. Kristi and the other food runners were awesome at tending to us, answering our questions, and very personable. AMBIANCE: 4/5 The space tends to the darker side with a tall divider wall separating a dining space from the decently-sized bar area that also includes booths and tables for dining. They also have a large patio space to the west of the building, where they have a trailer serving beverages and live music available. Only real negative was the the door to the patio space was right next to our booth in the northwest corner of the bar area, which allowed a brisk breeze in each time it was opened. FOOD: 4/5 The Bavarian Pretzel ($13) is large and decent. It's served on an upright pretzel holder, heavily salted, and served with a beer cheese that seemed a tad runny and a spicy maple mustard that seemed more sweet than spicy. My wife ordered Blackened Fish Tacos ($17), which come as an order of 2 with cabbage and onion and a side of chips and salsa. She said the tacos were very tasty, the chips and salsa were just OK. I ordered the Blackened Fish Sandwich ($17), which was served on a hoagie-type roll with lettuce, tomato, and onions along with a pickle and side of house-made chips. The fish sandwich had good flavor, and while I appreciated that they made their chips, their flavor was just OK and I couldn't easily access many of the crumbs that scattered through the bottom of the basket. OVERALL: 4/5 Food was good to very good. For the prices charged, the value was not as good as we would have liked. *They do appear to have a happy hour Tuesday-Friday 4:00-6:00 that offers half price on the wings and pretzel as well as some beverage specials.

    Over this last week, I've visited The Uptown Cafe, Erica's Place, and Rosie's Place. And no…read morequestion, Rosie's place is is by far and above the best of the three. Excellent food. excellent service, best menu, and best ambiance. My Eggs Benedict was perfect. The best hollandaise sauce I've had in a very long time. My server was "top notch", and as I sat at the bar, I noticed how quick and efficient the server team, host, and casher, worked together. I highly recommend Rosie's place.

    My friends and I are retired and once a week we travel to small towns in Indiana and enjoy lunch…read more We've previously dined at Rosie's and had a very nice experience. Today was different. We were seated and then no one came to take our drinks order for nearly 20 minutes. We put in our sandwich and soup orders when she came for the drink order because we had already sat there 20 minutes and we didn't want it to be even longer before she came back. 25 minutes later we still did not have our food despite asking about it twice. our server said well I've asked three times back there... I don't know what's taking so long. I said could you please mention maybe to a manager? We were not strident or angry, into this certainly was not our servers's fault but we were extremely disappointed because four tables surrounding us had been seated, served and one of them was finished and we still did not have our food. A manager came and said we're getting your food out just as quick as we can and I stopped her and said ma'am it's too late for as quick as you can because it's been 25 minutes and we've been here 45 minutes. She left the table and in less than two minutes came back with our food, sat in front of us said she was sorry and what else could she do for us and I said I'm not sure how to answer that; we just wanted our food. My friend's egg entrée was completely cold, my sweet potato fries were cold and my friend's soup was lukewarm at best. We waved the manager back and explained that our food was cold and must have been sitting for quite some time. She seemed upset took the food back and said she would get them to fix some more and I said you know I think we're just going to leave now I don't want to wait for more food to be prepared. As we turned to leave she told us to have a nice day but it seemed more in sarcasm rather than sincerity. I also want to point out that the prices have soared since our last visit. I'm not sure when or if we will come back to Rosie's, which is a shame because their bakery items are to die for.
