Erie Restaurant Week 2025
VisitErie’s Restaurant Week is hands down one of my favorite times of the year. Why? Because it’s an entire week dedicated to foodies, dining connoisseurs, professional hot dog eaters, and candy testers alike. Basically, if you love food, this is YOUR week.
Here’s the deal: The next TEN DAYS are all about local dining. Lucky for us, we’ve got this really awesome Food Hall (ever heard of it?), plus Bricks American Steakhouse right across the street. Between the two, there are nine incredible locations participating in this year’s Restaurant Week.
Honestly, it’d take a Restaurant Week and a half to hit every spot if you tried to do one each day. If you don’t have time to try it all (though I fully support you if you want to give it a shot), I’m here to help. Let’s dive into the highlights—and there’s even some awesome entertainment to go with your fantastic meals. Buckle up because this one’s going to be a doozy!
Food Hall - CheesErie – Pulled Pork Macaroni ($12)
Get ready for cheesy, smoky perfection. Picture tender pulled pork paired with creamy, gooey mac and cheese. It’s comfort food with a kick, and trust me, you’ll be scraping the bowl clean.
Food Hall - Taco Cantina – Rice Bowl ($12)
Whether you go for chicken, pork, beef, or steak (pro tip: the chicken is always a winner), this rice bowl is loaded with flavor. Think perfectly seasoned protein on a bed of fluffy rice, topped with fresh veggies and all the fixings.
Food Hall - Dina’s – La Bandera ($14.50)
If you’re looking for something hearty, Dina’s has your back. La Bandera brings together juicy beef, chicken, or pork, rice, savory beans, and sweet plantains for a dish that’s both comforting and packed with authentic Dominican flavors.
Food Hall - Jo’s – Loaded Breakfast Bagel and Chicken Bacon Ranch ($8.45)
Why limit yourself to just breakfast or lunch when you can have both? Jo’s is serving up a bagel stuffed to the brim with breakfast goodness, plus their Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich. And honestly, who doesn’t like Chicken Bacon Ranch?
Food Hall - Noodlelove – Thai Basil Chop ($11)
Craving something fresh and flavorful? Noodlelove’s Thai Basil Chop has you covered. Think tender noodles tossed with veggies, basil, and a light, zesty sauce that’ll have you coming back for more.
Food Hall - IPPA – Peppi Squared ($17)
Pizza lovers, this one’s for you. The Peppi Squared is loaded with pepperoni, bubbling cheese, and a sauce that’ll make your taste buds sing. Warning: one bite and you’re hooked. I said what I said.
Food Hall - Triple D’s – Philly Cheesesteak ($14.50)
East Coast classic meets Erie flair. Triple D’s Philly Cheesesteak is stacked with thinly sliced steak, melty cheese, and all the toppings you can handle. It’s a sandwich that demands your respect.
Food Hall - Taste and See – Grilled Chicken Crunch Wrap ($10)
Let’s wrap it up! Taste and See’s Grilled Chicken Crunch Wrap is everything you love—juicy grilled chicken, crispy tortilla, and just the right amount of crunch. It’s portable, flavorful, and perfect for a busy Restaurant Week.
Bricks American Steakhouse - 12 oz. New York Strip + Two Sides ($55) & 12 oz. Ribeye + Two Sides ($60)
Steak night just got better! Choose between a tender 12 oz. New York Strip or a juicy 12 oz. Ribeye, each served with two perfectly paired sides. This is your chance to enjoy a classic steakhouse experience right here in Downtown Erie.
Food Hall - Karaoke with Preach on Tuesday from 6-8 (FREE)
Get ready to rock the mic with local music legend Preach for an electrifying and uplifting karaoke night! No need to be shy – Preach will pump you up for a night of singing your heart out!
Food Hall - Kactai LIVE on Wednesday from 6-8 (FREE)
Things are getting a little wild (in the best way). Kactai, Erie’s own experimental jazz-rock trio, is taking over the Food Hall, and you never know where their improv grooves might take you.
