Local Gem with a Killer Breakfast Menu…read more This spot is a true local favorite, and for good reason. They serve a delicious breakfast with tons of options. Their famous cinnamon flip and flip potatoes are must-try sides. I had the crab and eggs dish and I'm hooked, huge portion, super tasty, and priced right. It does get really busy during peak hours, so expect a wait, but it's totally worth it.

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.

We have quite a few good food truck options downtown now: the classic Ernie's, which has been there…read morea decade, the Que Abides, and now the Cluck Truck. I'd say there is plenty of room for all three. The owner served me the pulled pork sandwich, which she said they smoke themselves and make fresh every day. For $6, it was a good portion (with a side of mac salad) and indeed, it was super tender and really tasty pork, complemented by a soft, fresh, white roll. They are running on a generator currently, which I found odd, until I read on GoErie that the city is no longer letting food trucks pay fees to access city electric--which is complete bullshit if you ask me (but that's an argument for another place and day). I'll be back to try another sandwich too.

The food was pretty good, and the staff was very friendly, but I was disappointed that there were…read morenot more chicken options considering the name. (the company next door hired them for an event but they were still taking outside orders) As someone who doesn't eat red meat, I was excited to see them parked in the lot. Then the actual options that didn't include pork or beef were very few. The food that I did get was very tasty though. Kind of a toss up.

Their menu is complete with all of the breakfast and simple lunch classics that you'd expect but I especially recommend and enjoy the scrambles, which have the most perfectly prepared potatoes, veggies, and whatever other fixings you favor. Watch out - their toast is the real deal, made with fresh, homemade style bread that is cut thick, full of flavor, and melts in your mouth all while having that perfect crunch. Their homestyle breakfast option is also an incredible hit - eggs, home fires, veggies AND a biscuit with sausage gravy on top! Crazy and oh so good! The space is also very roomy, plenty of room for crowds without feeling packed and the service is always fast and friendly.

Came here for Bfast on a Wednesday. We had a girls trip in Erie and kept passing this place and…read moredecided to stop 1 day for Bfast. Crowded. But sat us quickly. There were 5 of us. Server took drink orders quickly too. Menu is pretty big. Decided on the grilled cheese with bacon, tomato, pepper jack and mozzarella cheese and home fries. It was big. No skimping. Tasted good too. 1 friend got the 1/2 a frittata and it was the whole plate. The half... she said it was good and took it home. Someone got the sandwich with Italian sausage, cheese, and eggs. That was good. Then 2 people got some eggs over easy and some potato pancakes. The potato pancakes were just ok. But that's fine. They have generous portions and not too much money. This place was a winner. Simple decor, lots of families and groups. They turned over tables and moved you along. Pay up front at the end. Simple and easy. This place is a good little find.

That's all you taste is smoke. I am aware that it's bbq and that the food would have been smoky but this is way too much. Even my father who is an avid meat smoker agreed. There were also 5 out of 8 who ended up with food poisoning. 10/10 not a good experience. Based off of the sickness alone I would not go back. My father called and left a detailed message just letting them know that 5 of us got sick. Last I knew he hadn't heard back from them. The item in common that us sick people had was the brisket.

Stopped by for lunch today. Had the 'Treehorn' - local Bello's cajun sausage and pulled pork on a…read moretoasted hoagie roll. It was served with chips and homemade pickle slices. Nice touch of the butcher paper. The sausage had great spice & smoke. The pulled pork was sort of an after thought as the sausage portion was good, the pork could have been a little more abundant. The décor is nice, with a hand-painted mural in the back room that tells the story of the Que/Dude. Several pieces of art/photography on the walls. I expect it to evolve . . . I enjoyed the sandwich enough that I got a pound of pulled pork to go (now in the freezer after a suitable sampling) one thing I like is that the pulled pork is just that. It comes with sauce on the side although. The smoke and flavor of this pork is excellent and did not require any sauce to be thoroughly enjoyed. I will be going back soon as there are sooo many items on their menu that I need to try. Which includes the ice cream!
