Food was exceptional. They were struggling with a menu change. My lunch came with a side, which I was then charged for. The explanation was fries were the side. Not what the menu said. No refund given. Dinner style. Nice desserts.

What a great find! Nestled on a corner in an old neighborhood, home style food at its best! Shepherds Pie, better than an Irish Aunt ever made; Calf's Liver smothered with grilled onions melts in your mouth; their Breakfasts starts ones day smoothly; Chicken Pot Pie made right; Staff caring, efficient, friendly and sometimes doing too much to keep customers happy. Bring your appetite!

Staff was busy but nice! Our orders were brought to us very quickly. The food and ambiance reminded me of a typical small town diner.

The food was amazing for a great price. The owner apparently goes around and gives free samples ( which I didn't know it was the owner and didn't eat them) but it was so thoughtful I wish he would have told us that. I felt very bad once our server said that. Thank you!

Quality diner. Great service. Clean, casual space. We came in on a Sunday morning and they offered a large menu of breakfast and lunch items. We sampled a few things including an omelette, pancake, Greek burger & Ruben sandwich. We also had an iced salted caramel coffee which had ice cream, caramel & whip cream. We didn't have to wait for a table but we were prepared to. Sometimes a line would form but the hosts were able to get tables turned over fast so the wait wasn't too long. Seems like a well ran diner!

This is the place to go to get an honest meal. No frills but always solid. The staff is superb and treat you great. Sometimes they can be a little busy but if they are, you can always tell they're doing their best. I've never had a bad meal here. They are super kid friendly too.

The burgers here are some of the better I've had in quite a while. I see why they're so busy. The food is great! Good prices, great staff, plus the owner is a class act meeting and talking with patrons. Highly recommended! Will be back again!

Looking for a zero frills, simple breakfast while in Erie, PA? Look no further than Panos Restaurant. Serving Breakfast and Lunch, this local spot really hit the spot while on vacation with my family and we were looking for a nice place for a regular breakfast. I had the Hat Trick Breakfast, which was 3 pieces of bacon, 3 sausage links and 3 eggs cooked whichever way I liked (I went with scrambled). Accompanied by hash browns, two pieces of toast and coffee, it was just what I needed. My wife got an Egg White Omelet with home fries and daughter got her standard pancakes with a side of bacon that she gets every time we go out for breakfast. Friendly staff and a decent portion of food without a huge bill, I'd recommend going to Panos if you are in town and would like a nice sit down breakfast (or lunch) in at a nice local spot.

Stumbled upon this restaurant and am glad I did! There was no wait as you can tell the restaurant is run efficiently, and has great service. Portions were generous, food was delicious, hot, and came out in a timely manner even though it was crowded for Mother's Day. The Greek sauce (a meat sauce) is a nice addition to any dish. The owner is quite personable, knows many of his customers, and takes a special interest in them, which is apparent. He is carrying forward his great-grandfather's legacy keeping the restaurant alive and serving the community. I appreciate supporting a local business like this. I come to Erie often, and look forward to coming back soon!
