Erie Canal Bar & Grille

"First time here since change of ownership and we were very pleased! We were acknowledged the second we walked in and received menu/drinks quickly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the shrimp appetizer with the cream cheese filling, it was delicious! The burgers are massive and prices on the menu are reasonable. Great food, service and atmosphere."

"We've been there three times since it reopened. First for dinner, which was pretty good and a good value. But we've tried twice for lunch now, the first time ended up working out but waited a few minutes before anybody noticed us. Tried again today and waited at a table for 15 minutes and still nobody came to get a drink order, give menus nothing. So we left. To me timeliness is critical during lunch, I only have so much of a lunch break from work and need to get service, if you cant even be bothered to check in at all then I'll take my business elsewhere."

"Finally gave this place a try and wasn't disappointed. Atmosphere has changed quite a bit since the old days of Danny's and Thelma's. I like the open concept and the new bar area for events. Service was good and the food was tasty. Hopefully they can make it last."

"Wife and I have been eating here for a about a month now, usually lunch time, 1 or 2 times a week. Food has been very good, sandwiches and burgers are really big and tasty, $10-$15. The kitchen staff really know what they are doing and are very accommodating to requests. We really enjoy the atmosphere that has been created, not dark, lots of natural lighting, during the day light hours. They do work with a limited staff during some days, usually around lunch, but they are experienced and really move fast so we have not found that to be a problem. We joined the mug club on our first visit, which is a good deal for draft beer. The mug club is $50 per year, per person for $1.00 drafts of 4 domestic beers. They have also been introducing some daily specials which keeps the "menu" fresh and fun. If you previously "hung out" here when it was Thelma's, we think this a big step up all around."

"Cool little place!! Sat at the bar and could immediately tell there were several regulars hanging out as well as people like me who are just in town for a weekend. The service was good, the food was even better, and we got a whole lot of food for the price. Personal favorite of mine was the pulled pork, which came out on Texas toast and covered with cheese. It was absolutely divine. The wife had pierogis and said they were amazing as well. There was also several vegetarian option on the menu for those looking."
