    A decent place to get breakfast. It's a small locally owned place that delivers a good home cooked breakfast with a smile.

    Ham and Cheese Omelette

    If you are looking for filling cheap food this is the place to go! With inflation and prices nowadays this is the best, most inexpensive food I have ever had. An omelette is like $5! My step mom and I went here for breakfast and our total with drinks was $16 that is CRAZY nowadays. The service was quick and good too. Anyways the place has a diner like feel. As far as how the food is, it is very good. I got a ham and cheese omelette which was very good. I do wish the ham chunks were smaller, but that is my preference. I also got a breakfast sandwich and it tasted good no complaints there. The cinnamon bread was delicious! It was covered in sweet icing and was hot and the perfect treat. Overall, I recommend this place for some fast, cheap, and good breakfast.

    Excellent service. Fast and friendly. Huge portions and cool menu items combined with very reasonable pricing. It's a real local establishment, and I love those kinds of places. We will definitely be back. Like lots of local places, they are experiencing staffing issues that have forced the place to cut their hours of operation. But it did not effect our visit at all.

    After driving by this place during non-breakfast hours, finally had the opportunity to stop in for breakfast. Smaller family style restaurant are waitress was Tammi B who did a stellar job in taking care of us and providing above and beyond service. Were in a little later morning, even though we had to have a food re-heated it still was wonderful and the perfect portion. Great value for the money, even made the owner Frank smile...and I heard that doesn't happen often. If I'm traveling through or in town will definitely stop back for breakfast.

    I was surprised how fast our orders came out. The wait staff was super friendly. The food was perfect temperature and good. We appreciated the attention the waitresses paid to refills. Overall, great service.

    I had heard stories from my family about this place but I thought many of them were embellished. Today I found out that they weren't. We got there about 10:15am, kinda late for breakfast so I thought there wouldn't be anyone there....we had to wait in line for a table! We didn't wait long though. First off, if you want quiet conversation, this isn't the place for you. This is a breakfast joint with a capital J. It's noisy but fun and relaxed. Our server was excellent. She was patient while the seven of us perused their ample menu and answered any questions we had. I ordered the country fried steak covered in sausage gravy, potatoes, and rye toast. Everything was excellent. Their corned beef hash is to die for. All our orders were excellent and portion sizes are HUGE. I can't speak for lunch or dinner but this is THE place for breakfast in Erie. Accept no imitations, this place is the real deal. Including tip (20%) the entire bill was $80 for the seven of us. Not ridiculous considering the portion size and quality of food. To-go boxes will be needed for most people. You can thank me for the recommendation later.

    We enjoyed the breakfast over the holiday weekend. I had the breakfast sandwich and hash browns. We will be back.

    Took over 1 hour to get served a mediocre breakfast! Manager could not have cared less. Will never return. Consider yourself warned!

    We had a great dinner here! Really enjoyed the shareable soft pretzel with mustard and beer cheese…read more Both the salmon and the grouper were delicious and the view sitting by the window provided a great atmosphere.

    Two45 Waterfront Grille fails to impress…read more.. Accidental reservation on my part! My parents and sister live in Erie and I visited recently and I had lunch nearby and it was great. I didn't think too much into the reservation but when I showed up it was definitely not the place I recall (now known as Pier 6) but I recall looking at photos that it would be worth checking it out. We were promptly seated and greeted by the waitress. The lunch menu is brief with a few items in each section of Apps, salads, sandwiches and plates. We opted for the calamari as we heard it was a good app to start with. At the same time we ordered drinks which consisted of coffee, Expresso martini and the aperol spritz. The calamari came out and it was a good amount. However, they were very small and it was dry. We got the perch sandwich and it came out with an enormous amount of shoe string fries which imo are the worse type as they are typically over fried and so were these. Frying a good filet of fish is usually a bad idea and this sandwich would be better served to be grilled when your fries are fried and the calamari is fried too. Service was slow for being an empty restaurant. Note: we had a 4 year old with us and the key is to always rush their food asap so they stay content. Since we waited a bunch of time, we had some ancy people at the table after 1 hour 45 minute lunch where the room was essentially empty. Much improvement can be had otherwise spend your dollars at Pier 6 for a much better experience.

    I had to edit this review because my picture of my breakfast was not posted…read more Very disappointed with Shirley's. 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.
