    Grilled Caesar salad with steak  Awesome
    Kiarash A.

    To update my previous reviews: I still love and strongly recommend this place. Awesome service. Great beer . And my favorite dish: grilled Caesar salad with added steak. Try it. I will be back to this place frequently in the future.

    Rustic ambience, good service. Food was tasty. Homemade(pies) desserts! Highly recommend. Located near the University.

    Spinach Salad
    Rachel C.

    Was just alright. I ordered a spinach salad, the chicken and dressings were good, however there was a yucky taste with the spinach that made the entire salad just okay, I ended up just eating the chicken off the top. There were no problems with the service. Every time I've ate here it has just been okay, nothing special. Last time I ordered the mac and cheese and it was flavorless.

    Oreo Pie

    Unreasonably fast service Cold crisp beers Cheap quality eats Homemade pies This place is the spot.

    The Crossroads seems to be a nice little place to grab a bite to eat in Edinboro. It was certainly a great place for my friends and I to eat on our way to a wintertime streetcar museum event - not only because the food was good, but because part of The Crossroads is built out of the body of an old streetcar. Yes, really! That sort of thing happened more often than you'd think. Geeky hobbies aside, The Crossroads did not disappoint...for the most part. The service admittedly could have been faster. When my group arrived the place was pretty empty, yet we waited a decent length of time to be seated, to get drinks, and to have our orders taken. Once the orders got to the kitchen, however, things moved along just fine. All of us ordered juicy burgers piled high with various ingredients - depending on what we ordered of course - and all of us enjoyed a heaping serving of fries on the side. In fact I distinctly remember posting a picture to Instagram with the caption, "Never eating again bye" because I was so full with delicious goodness! We all left satisfied and ready to finish our road-trip. Based on my group's experience, I'd totally consider eating here again. That said, between the other reviews and the slow start to my own meal, I'd probably skip it if the place had a decent number of fellow diners seated. Better safe than sorry, right?

Taking the exit and driving into Ripley only took in total 10 extra minutes and it was well worth it, both for the fare offered there and for a glimpse into a small American town, which is somewhat outside of my experience, being a big city person. It was the bacon that spurred me to write this review. Perfectly cooked, not too chewy, not brittle and overcooked. Bacon was just part of the Breakfast Supreme, which lived up to its name: very tasty sausage patties, well but not too well scrambled eggs, rye toast and the potatoes! Fried in bacon fat perhaps? Crispy around the edges but still somewhat soft in the center. Perfection. What wasn't perfect, in fact , was far from perfect, was the coffee. But coffee for me must meet a very high standard. Unfair in a diner setting. So, the coffee was what it was. The wait staffers seemed to be part of the stalwart crew there. Bringing dignity to a practice that some dismiss as mere "service" jobs. So, off to Meeders you go when you are looking for breakfast in a non-corporate setting.

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.

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.
