Juicy chicken breast, goooey mozz with chopped, roasted red peppers and spinach - YUM! The menu says it should be on toasted Asiago, but that's not what this was on. It was on a plain hamburger-style bun, but it was still good. The fries were really flavorful, too - tasted/looked like handcut. Though I didn't eat there, the place was super cute inside. The staff was polite/friendly. We'll definitely be back, if we have to go to Erie again. (Apologies for the pic! It was pouring rain, and I was starving!)

If anyone has followed my reviews, I try to eat at local restaurants and give fair and honest reviews. We drove from Pittsburgh to Buffalo and decided to stop at Shirley's for breakfast. The restaurant was busy we had to wait about five minutes for a table. The restaurant just serves breakfast and brunch and had a typical diner interior. We sat down and got our drinks right away. The coffee was hot. The waitress Michele came over and took our order. my wife's order was fine. She ordered the omelette and Texas toast came out perfect. My order was a different story. I ordered the number 4, 2 eggs over easy hashbrowns breakfast sausage, patty, and Italian toast with no butter. Nothing out of the ordinary, but the waitress brought me my plate with the toast very barely toasted and the hashbrowns should've been called hash whites because they were not cooked and they were cold. Take a look at the picture. No waitress should be bringing this to a patron. Look at this picture and make your own decision. Zoom in to the top of the plate, what is that? I did ask to have my toast darker but I did not want to send my whole plate back because my wife was already eating her breakfast. When I was paying my bill, I was asked how was everything and I explained that my breakfast was cold. The manager or owner came over asked a few questions and apologized. I said it's not your fault and I'm not looking to have anything comped. I just made the statement that I came in for a hot breakfast and I got a cold one. There are a lot of restaurants in Erie and unfortunately, I picked the wrong one for breakfast.

Step back 50 years and saunter into this diner close to the PA border that has intentionally…read moreremained in a time warp. Meeder's Restaurant has been a family operation for 50+ years. Its history is written on the menu. And if you're from another country and want to experience authentic American food in an authentic American atmosphere, Meeder's is one place to do so. And I did. Half of the tables were taken up with locals catching up on the latest happenings - or maybe complaining about how New York City is still bleeding them dry, with the support of the morons in Albany. You never know. It appears to be a mom-and-pop operation, with a businesslike Mom handling the money and an excitable Pop waiting the tables. A Norman Rockwell picture come to life. I had the quarter pound burger, with chips and a pickle on the side. The patty was pretty good, done medium well. And not much else. Unlike a chicken sandwich, which does not need extra stuff to make it taste good, burgers do need extras like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, roasted garlic, pico de gallo, and others to add to the taste. And this burger simply did not have enough. A little pricey. On the other hand, remember what I wrote about NYC bleeding Upstate and Western NY dry? Smart people are moving out of the state, if they can sell their houses. There is not much money to go around here. Meeder's pricing their food $1 higher than other places is how they stay in business. Meeder's Restaurant. Go for the living history, and take the food for what it is. America, Bless God.

This is an old-style breakfast dinor spot. They offer various options from the basic omelet or eggs…read moreBenedict to sandwiches and salad. Tried their omelet with hash brown, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I really like their crispy hash brown. Waitstaff is very nice and service was quick. The parking situation is quite tricky here, as they have a small parking lot right behind the restaurant, that would only fit about 5-6 cars. If you go during rush hours you might have to park on the street instead. Do not park in the lot on the right side of the building as there is a sign notifying that you will get towed

I'm actually not a huge breakfast eater, so I went with my standard 2 eggs, toast, and breakfast potatoes. I thought the bread was nice and fresh (though not exactly toasty), and the potatoes were for sure fresh cut, which was a really nice touch. I also had a garden salad, which was a pretty standard diner salad - romaine, some tomatoes, shredded cheese, and olives as a surprise addition. Decent size and price. The service was quick and so was our food. I thought it was a solid breakfast. Note - there is no parking, so we parked a block or so away and walked.

I would definitely order again and recommend.
