Fiddle Inn

"The pizza and wings were good! The salad was not worth the price. Felt bad for the services, seems they are understaffed. Long wait for food but the workers were very nice. Would hope they get more staff to make it easier on the staff! Would recommend the wings. Nice atmosphere."

"Pictures do no justice, but 10/10 i typically asked for my wings well done I forgot they were still perfect! The bartender was amazing! So welcoming great atmosphere food great"

"This place is packed just about every night and when I saw that it recently reopened I was curious about trying it out. It’s newly remodeled. This place serves great food and the younger waitstaff are always quick on their feet to get food in and out. One thing I would say about this place is that it is quite LOUD. Not a place to go for a romantic dinner, but rather a place to get a bite to eat and socialize. It has a pub style atmosphere to it. If you can’t figure out what you want to eat here, the wings are very good if you’re looking for something light. If you have a little bit of an appetite, I would definitely choose the McKinley’s last sandwich. All of their food is very delicious and filling."

"Well, where to begin but the beginning. If you live in Harborcreek, you certainly have heard or know of the Fiddle Inn, where you ‘Fiddle in and stumble out’…says local lore. I wanted to give it a go after it shut down, new owners and a refresh. I had high hopes, they are waning like an Erie sunset. The tale begins with a later Saturday night attempt to feed hungry kids and two adults. Let’s give the new Fiddle a try. We figure it’s not going to be busy, and it really wasn’t. It started with quick seating and a drink order. Then nothing. For at least 15 minutes. There are about 5 young staff running around as ‘servers’? Yet no attentiveness. You need to get better if you don’t want to crash and burn a brand new/refresh establishment. The young staff seem to be trying but clearly aren’t trained. Overheard other customers with concerns and confusion around wing orders, which will strike fear in ‘Creekers’ as wings are a good thing throughout Erie and if you screw that up in this town, you probably should move to Ohio. The level of busy: It was (is as I write) 845pm 8 folks at bar. 6 tables were sat in the main/bar room area. If you like Touchtunes at airplane decibel, you’ll enjoy the music. So what’s the positive? I hope the food. We finally had a nice young man (after my wife had to go get the beverages from the bartender), come take the order. First food to the table…onion rings in a basket. I’ve seen onion rings served in baskets before, or towered on a spit. The onion rings are good, crispy, with a side of ranch (passes the test too). While we wait for food, let’s talk about beer, draft beer. Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Miller Lite, Yuengling, Fiddlehead IPA. These options will not wow and it is honestly terrible as to a selection. There are plenty of local breweries in Erie and the IPA is the ‘name similar beer’ from Vermont. I get the attempt but it feels uninspired. #supportlocal So as we wait for the food (928pm) I am looking around and wondering what would make this better? What is missing that would be cool and fun? Hmm. I think a shuffleboard table on the west wall (near the very cool hidden door) where the high chairs are located yeah, that’s the ticket, shuffleboard! Why is there a half witch looking woman doll hanging from the chandelier? (No picture, you’ll need to come find and see for yourself) Well, the food finally came and it’s what one might expect. Good wings(though I think my sauce was wrong), the fajita quesadilla was tasty, my wife was very pleased with her gyro (hee-roh/guy-roh) and a burger. Honestly the fries were a hit and I’d love to see a pile of ‘Fiddle Fries one day…straight cut, cheese sauce/curd and bacon served with their ranch (credits please!) Needs: - there’s currently no kids menu aka ‘little Fiddlers’ - better draft options - chicken wing sauce/style menu"

"Newly renovated. Lost the old house feel but got more accessibility to the bathrooms with everything on the ground floor. The exposed wood looks cool but the acoustics can be loud. The service was very attentive and prompt. We had some typical bar apps the onion rings and jalapeno poppers which came out fast and hot. The wings were ok compared to the old Fiddle menu. We asked for extra crispy but the wings were more of a normal cook but at least not rubbery. We got the Everythings which were great still but our Cranch wings were not fully flavored. They did bring out more seasoning which saved the day/wings Overall, not a bad experience and it should get better as the new staff figures everything out."
