Sara's Restaurant

Marc Chuff

Packed full of cool kitschy decor, homemade food, pet friendly (even a menu item - ice cream with dog biscuits), clean, very reasonably priced. The handmade milkshakes are phenomenal. The grilled chicken sandwich was seasoned just right.

I brought my family who was in from out of town to experience Erie’s famous Sara’s and I’m very disappointed to share the experience was terrible. I ordered a plain turkey burger with cheese and bacon as I always do and have done for *years*. What I got was a turkey burger with lettuce and tomato. The cheese was on the side in one of the fry containers. Very bizarre but my assumption was it was a new employee. We returned to the cashier we ordered from to fix it. The cashier was in error for not ordering what I requested. I ordered two cups of cheese and didn’t get that either. The manager (perhaps owner) was brought over. She took the receipt with no eye contact, no sorry about that let me investigate, etc. Instead she chose to point out that receipt didn’t say bacon and pressed the issue. Yes, because your employee messed up and stood there smiling without admitting her error. They brought a second burger that was then just a turkey burger with cheese and no bacon. This was the same patty from the first order so it was cold and had been passed between multiple employees not mention it was touched by tomato which was the original issue. We requested a new one. Finally got the right order though it was done with indignation and the bacon looked like they found it in the garbage. Having ordered here before, I know what their bacon looks like. The most concerning part is when the person in charge brought it over and there was no so sorry for the wait or the multiple issues. Again zero eye contact or acknowledgment of their errors. She just walked away. Your rudeness and lack of integrity in your business just earned a well concerted effort in which I will inform every Erie friend about this so that they too don’t bring family here to have irritating vacations. By the time we ate the food was cold and the afternoon ruined. I wasn’t upset that the order was wrong. Things happen but the rude nature of this interaction shows me that your overpriced, over/undercooked food is simply a peninsula clogging tourist trap illusion. Skip this place and enjoy other local restaurants who take pride in feeding our community and who feel their customers are worth their time and genuine effort.

Surprisingly delicious food, ample seating, quick service, and very reasonable prices! We were anticipating something less than par but we were quite hungry when leaving the beach and were so please with this find! The lines moved quick and our food was ready within minutes!

This place is an Erie tradition for my family. The restaurant is very family friendly. Lots of seating. Lots of fun displays to look at while wandering around the area. It is nice to take some funny family picture. Staff are very polite and personable! Prices are reasonable. The restaurant is clean and very organized with ordering and picking up food. The food is delicious and the ice cream is a sweet after meal treat! I have never been disappointed with Sara's in Erie, Pa.
