Calamaris Squid Row - Erie (PA)

5 /5 Lauren Alverson: Calamari’s was the perfect place to host our daughter’s baptism celebration. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of, ensuring everything ran smoothly and stress-free. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality truly stood out. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish was a hit, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the quality and presentation. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it ideal for such a special family occasion. Thank you to the entire team at Calamari’s (especially Jenna and Alistar) for helping us celebrate such an important milestone. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend Calamari’s for any special event or gathering.

4 /5 Mel G: We usually enjoy stopping at Calamaris when were in town, and their Boom Boom Shrimp Grinder is our go-to order. On this visit, we both ordered the grinder, but my first bite felt off -- something was missing. Sure enough, when I lifted the bun, the most important part was missing: the boom boom sauce. It took a few minutes to get our servers attention, but once we mentioned it, she quickly brought sides of the sauce for us. After adding it ourselves, the sandwich tasted the way it should, though the bread was a bit dry since the sauce wasnt baked in. Ill also note that we typically visit for lunch, but this trip was later in the evening. The vibe was very different -- louder crowd, mostly college kids, and slower service due to how busy it was. Well probably stick to lunch visits going forward, since thats when weve had the best experience.

5 /5 Στέφανος Δούκας: A great and cozy place to have a drink, lunch or dinner in Erie PA. I love how friendly and kind the staff is here every time I visit. They treat you like family! Nice burgers and a great variety of beers and drinks. I also had a great time during St Patricks day. Atmosphere is nice and warm and prices are very reasonable too!

5 /5 Lauren Combs: This was a lovely spot. I went here on a work lunch shortly after they opened at 11. It got busy pretty quickly but I don’t think there was any wait. Ellen was the sweetest and most attentive server I’ve had in a while. She checked on us, noticed when our drinks were low and offered recommendations. I had the Cuban and fries and it was delicious.

5 /5 Jon K.: First visit. I loved the experience. The staff were all friendly and helpful. A little loud inside but not to much to handle. More than Fair prices for the service and quality.
