Great experience, though they seemed a little understaffed during our Friday evening visit. Service made a couple minor mistakes, but we just let it slide because flagging down the waitress to get it replaced would have taken more time than we had to spare- she was very, very busy! Food was amazing- the Morrocan Stew was just the right portion size and delicious! Will definitely go back again if we're nearby.

Absolutely amazing experience. I had no idea the host was the owner. She was so kind and lovely. You rarely see anybody hands on in their establishment. And without a cocky attitude, super rare... I loved it! Our server was Rebecca. She was amazing. Top notch we will be back. We ate the food too fast to get a pic, but our shots were great lol.

Very cool place! Nice ambiance in the bar area. We watched as the bartender made a plethora of different beautiful drinks. Reminded us of a bygone era. The food was extremely tasty. We both had chicken, the savory and the jerk with the Chef’s rice & beans. Kind of a hidden gem!

We were in town for the evening at the end of September and I had seen this restaurant mentioned in a magazine we picked up so we decided to go for dinner.
We didn’t have a reservation but were seated immediately by the hostess who was also our server. Her name was Heather and she was friendly and attentive.
We ordered the crab hush puppies to start and they were fantastic.
I had the Jamaican shrimp and my man had the bourbon chicken - we both got chef’s rice and vegetable of the day. The food was delicious. The flavor on the shrimp was so good: I can tell you while I was eating my meal, it was so good I had totally forgotten that we had the hush puppies - and we had a couple corn muffins too - I should have been full but it was so good I couldn’t not eat it. I was secretly hoping my man would not eat all of his so I could take some for leftovers.
We declined dessert but I almost wish we had gotten something. Our server had told us that she made the pumpkin bundt cake that day and we saw it as we were leaving and I almost went back in for a piece to go.
The place was pretty full in the front. I think there was a bar and more dining space in the back. Prices were very reasonable considering the big portions and superb quality of food. Parking was a small lot or on the street. Trust me, if you have to park a block or two away, it will be worth it.

I had an amazing time here. If you crave or want to try southern food, this place might be the spot in Erie. This place is one of my personal favorite restaurant in erie. The staffs were friendly and polite. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The place is busy. On the other note, I highly recommend the Bourbon chicken. If you are not sure what to try I genuinely believe this dish is worth your time and money.
The one downside I can think of is the parking. There might not be space during busy hours, it’s all street parking.

A M A Z I N G !!! When traveling I like to try a local restaurant and being a Tennessee boy had to try pineapple Eddie's Southern bistro. It was delicious! I had the pork shoulder braised and flash fried. Wow! Had it with the chef's rice and beans. And only $15. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want just a little hometown, restaurant in an old house, good food, place to eat. Had the key lime pie for dessert and it did not disappoint either.

Cannot emphasize enough how amazing both of these dishes were!! 🤤😍 Our server, Jasmine, was Efficient, Knowledgeable, And very helpful. Her recommendations were wonderful. Without them I probably wouldn’t have ordered what I did and it turned out to be an amazing dish. Try this place. You will not be disappointed!!
P.S. The dessert was melt in your mouth, too.
