Syds Place - Erie (PA)

5 /5 Levi Dixie: Came here with friends, girlfriend to celebrate a birthday. The fries are crisp and have a nice subtle crunch, extremely delicious. I got the platter and the scallops were cooked well, the shrimp was outstanding, cod was great too. Coleslaw was a nice side to have. I added a piece of perch for $3 bucks and I am glad I got it because it was delicious. I forgot what sauce I got. I also ordered Bing Bing shrimp and it was sweet and spicy, but the heat was not an over bearing need water heat. The star of the show was the crab cakes. Last place I got delicious crab like that was in New York and Hilton Head. Food is homestyle quality. OH, and the raspberry iced tea was the best. I would say more side dishes should be added like a mac & cheese or green beans or both.

3 /5 Sherry ONeal: Not a good night. There were only 3 to 4 tables occupied in the dining room, several in the separate bar area and apparently a larger group downstairs. We never saw a downstairs though. There were at least 4 waitresses, a bartender and a manager. Our waitress was working downstairs, our booth and a table of 4 guys that she knew. (A guy from the kitchen, wearing his apron, kept coming out and sitting with them.). Our waitress was inattentive and several times we had to flag down one of the other waitresses to get drinks, bread, napkins etc. The coconut shrimp appetizer was good and the crab stuffed mushrooms were ok. We both had tenderloin tips, my husband had the dinner and I had the salad. They were both ok, except the salad was mostly lettuce. Once I removed the huge pile of iceberg lettuce and got to good lettuce and veggies, it was better. I’ve never had fries on a salad before but they were tasty. We had to ask for our check and then find someone to actually pay. My husband politely told our waitress about our service and she became belligerent, plopped down the ticket, snatched her tip and walked away. I think we will try other restaurants for the remainder of our stay in Erie.

5 /5 Larry J: I am a regular visitor to the beaches at Presque isle. I was looking for something different from the chaos of peach street. This place was just what I was looking for. I ordered the beer battered Cod fish and chips. It came with a cup of New England clam chowder. The chowder was spectacular as well as the fish fry. The service was very fast and accurate. I will definitely return.

5 /5 Chelsea Nelson: This place is just classic. I ordered a martini with well gin and it was absolutely perfect. This place reminds me of somewhere your grandparents would inherently love because the service still pays attention. Their food is very 1950s classic with a couple of items to spice up the menu, but its done just right. You can order liver and onions here still.

4 /5 Robert Heck: Friendly service and welcoming, this place has a nice menu that is above your typical American cuisine. Real good value, especially their clam chowder!!
