https://www.upick6.com/pier-6/ The rooftop bar or restaurant (a format long enjoyed in larger ‘real cities’) has now become a thing in Erie. Its like a patio bar, but on a roof with a view! What a time to be alive! Much to the enjoyment of the local populace we now have several to choose from and…

Pier 6 Rooftop – Erie, PA – Fat Guy Reviewer: Adam
A growing trend here in Erie, PA is the concept of the rooftop restaurant and bar. We live on the shores of Lake Erie, and it seems like a no-brainer to take advantage of the scenery, particularly on Erie’s Bayfront. We have two new locations down on the bayfront, and the one I checked out…
The Gem City Dinor – Erie,PA – Fat Guy Reviewer: Adam
Spellcheck is insisting that the name of the restaurant is wrong, but it’s just one of those weird things in the Erie, PA area…. Diners are often named Dinors instead. Why? Who knows? It could have just been a typo in some long-gone publication or it was just a way for this little town on…
Sunday Brunch at O’Charley’s Restaurant in Erie, PA – Fat Guy Reviewer: Adam
I know, I know, it’s been quite a while since I posted last. Well, depending on where you’re reading this from, you may have heard that my little corner of the world has made the news for getting just a little snow. We’re on track to have one of the snowiest winters on record…ever! As…
Icing on the Lake – Erie, PA – Fat Guy reviewer: Scott
We tend to be a tad meat-centric here on FGA, but we definitely love our baked goods as well; with Lunch dessert being the most important dessert of the day. If you have not been by the West Erie Plaza lately, there is a lot going on. It is in the midst of a major…
Federal Hill Smokehouse – Erie, PA – Fat Guy Revisit by Adam
I know what you’re thinking, well maybe not, but you MIGHT be thinking to yourself right now that we are a little obsessive about this place. A third review? Really? It’s not really a full review. It’s just a quick revisit OR you might say that we’ve decided to have Seconds. OR maybe it’s a…
Pineapple Eddie Southern Bistro – Erie, PA – Fat Guy Reviewer: Adam
Fellow Fat Guy Reviewer Scott and I have been to Pineapple Eddie’s quite a few times before this review, and one of the things that makes it stand out in the sea of eateries in the Erie area is its home-style Southern/Cajun offerings. No LOCAL places (not a chain) offer food that could be billed…
U Pick 6 Public House – Erie, PA – Fat Guy reviewer: Scott
It’s always a delight to visit Public House. As with the other U Pick 6 locations it is owned by John Melody, a very pleasant Irishman who is no stranger to the Erie restaurant and bar scene. All of his establishments I have visited are top notch. If you frequented Molly Brannigan’s in its earlier…
Federal Hill Smokehouse – Erie, PA – Fat Guy reviewer: Scott
Welcome to my first of many food reviews for Fat Guy Approved. We are just getting things going here and look forward to bringing you plenty of pithy, honest, and possibly verbose reviews in the future. We had been wanting to try Federal Hill for lunch since they opened recently. As a fan of smoked…
