Food was amazing and would be THE spot in the area to go. Lunch, Dinner, it wouldn't matter - there would be a wait. With every visit over the last decade or so, my experience continues to decline as the food and service has suffered with time. What once was a staple meal has become a poor iteration of what once was. Bread is obnoxiously thick. The flavors on the ingredients feel off. It's disappointing. Still feel like there's a chance this spot recovers in time but with their expansions - this location has suffered.

Seems to be 2 sides-- a family area and then a bar/sports bar side. Our server was Jamie and she was awesome!! Handling all her tables- about 8- with drinks food and cleanup. She never missed a beat. My wife had the special-- stuffed rigatoni w/ sausage, onions & peepers-- fabulous! I had their angus burger all the way . A great burger! Definitely recommend this place.

If I only have 24hr in Erie, I'm making this my one stop for the best thing on the menu- The Oakwood Deluxe Sandwich with crispy fries and a side of chicken gravy. This is one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten and have been searching for something similar in Pittsburgh for 10 years and nothing even comes close. The owners are very sweet and welcoming to everyone. The staff treats everyone like family and gives you that small town dinners vibe in the best way. You can choose to sit on the restaurant side (left) or the bar side (right)- both are great, but I prefer the bar side! If you've never been, make sure you plan to make this a stop!

We ordered the same - exactly the same - items that we always do. Other than the beer, pretty much everything was less than acceptable. The wings were little waterfalls of grease. We had to lean over the table to eat and STILL the grease splashed up as we ate. We asked for veggies, which are a $0.99 adder. We were told that they only had carrots, no celery. So you might expect double the carrots. Nope. We each got about 8 baby carrots...not kidding .... and they were more like NICU carrots, not "baby" carrots. The ranch dressing was so watery that we ended up sending most of it back with our wing bones EVEN THOUGH we paid a $0.65 adder for each cup that we asked for with our wings (no dressing included with wings here???) At least the beer was good. Not sure we'll think to stop back anytime soon....

But each time when im leaving we say, "yeah that was the right move." It's a little further from the Bayfront but it's a lot better than some of the options that are closer. The vibe here is great. So glad that this place has withstood so much turnover nearby. Food is consistently great. Lunch, dinner, even brunch is SOLID. This time, I did the Chicken Cordon Bleu Wrap with tots. Could've just been a silly assumption, did not expect the wrap to be toasted. Now this was on a 100 degree day, so wouldve personally preferred it to be cold this day but all good. Tots are dependable and great too. Wish I received a larger potion though. Was kind of surprise it wasn't like filling the plate and was more a scattered handful. Love this spot though. Great experience, great staff, will absolutely stop back in.

It is their senior year, so it was our last chance so we made sure to stop. We came in on a Monday around 1 pm. I had made a reservation, but not needed The waitress promptly brought us menus. There were five other tables occupied. We waited 25 minutes (I started a stop watch after 10) and the waitress never came back to take our order, bring us water or see if we had any questions. We had the menu down. I tried to flag her down but she ignored us. So we got up and left. All in all a very disappointing experience. We were so looking forward to it, the music was great, the food smelled great. But the service was beyond horrible. .

I visited before the launch of the full menu, but the limited menu was still decent in length and the snacks that we sampled were delicious - especially the cheese curd flight. The flavors were exciting and perfectly cooked - gooey on the inside and flavorful and crisp on the outside, and paired nicely with one of the many craft beers on tap. It's worth noting that like many restaurants in West County, there is a rather limited and traditional set of offerings for those seeking vegetarian options, although I'd love to see that change. The updates to the inside were nice and refreshed from the previous establishment, most noteably to the bar and bathrooms, although you can't miss the adorable dog murals in the main dining area (a big perk for this dog lover). We're looking forward to seeing how the outdoor area emerges once the weather breaks, as we understand there will be yard games, outdoor seating, and a refined and engaging pay-to-play dog park on-site. In the meantime, I recommend this place as a casual place to grab a snack and drink or get dinner out with family and friends. Service is friendly and fast, the owners seem very nice and invested in making the entire experience fantastic for everyone and I wish them success!

It's in a cute part of town. Looks like lots of bars and restaurants and general downtown activity. Parking can be a challenge. You can park in front and there are meters around. Place was hopping on a Friday night. You find your own seat. We sat at a booth in back. We were warned that the server is slammed and there might be a wait but it was fine. The server took good care of us. They have popcorn machine and you can help yourself. The drinks are pretty cheap and they have lots of cocktails and ok beer selection. Menu is just big enough. Prices are good all around. And again drinks are pretty cheap. There are 5 of us. 2 people got wings. 1 was liked 1 said it was just ok. Someone got the crab cakes and she liked them it was an appetizer. And 2 of us got the French dip sandwich. It was good. Lots of tender roast beef. Cheese was good. Not too many veggies though. I like veggies. But it was a good sandwich. The dip au jus was good. 1 of us got tots and I got fries. Lots of fries and decent amount of tots. They were good, generous. It was all pretty good. I would go back and hang out again.
