First time ever here and what a gem! It's fine dining in the most comfortable atmosphere. Every ingredient and combination is carefully thought out. It's a dream for people who eat gluten free. They even packed a gluten free crepe along with a homemade roast, carrots and onions for my niece to take home to Johnstown for her husband. I cant recommend it enough! ps. wonderful, kind & friendly staff.

The only place in Erie that FULLY accommodates my dietary needs (celiac/dairy free) and makes me feel completely comfortable. Mackenzie is not only an amazing bartender, but she truly puts her heart into all she does. She ensures my food is safe, both putting in the order and the serving of the food/drinks. I have a very difficult time eating/drinking out, but I am a regular at Mad Mex due to both Mackenzie’s kindness and the amazing options provided by Mad Mex.

The Bones Way smoked wings, recommended by our server, Jennifer, were AMAZING! My wife has a gluten allergy and also had an amazing steak salad. Thank you!

I have been trying to find a favorite restaurant in Erie. I was excited to try this and glad that the menu pointed out the gluten-free options. Unfortunately, they were completely out of gluten-free bread which took out a lot of things that I wanted to eat like the French dip sandwich. When we got there, we were told that there were only a few hamburgers left and my friend said he wanted one, so they went ahead and set it aside for him which was nice. But like why are there so few hamburgers left on a Saturday evening? It was hard for me to decide what I wanted, so I went ahead and went for the strip steak. My friend ordered a mudslide, and we both tried it. There was no alcohol in that thing not even a little bit. My rum runner was fine, but not spectacular… they served it in plastic cups, which made me not want to get a glass of wine with my dinner. My steak was fine and the garlic mashed potatoes were fine. The portabella’s were so so. I don’t think they were fresh or they didn’t taste like it. My friend got the burger and I just wasn’t any condiments on it and all they gave us was ketchup. Finally tracked the waitress down and got some mayonnaise and mustard. The fries were not anything special and definitely not worth of $4.95 for the ad on if you didn’t want the potato salad. Overall, this place could be really good. Maybe we just went on an off night and it was too busy. I really wanted to like this place it just didn’t seem to add up to the reviews of being one of the best spots in Erie. But location location location it’s a great spot to people watch if you sit outside. If you have a big booty the chairs, are those cheap plastic kinds that are miserable. Good luck.

Gluten free and arguably the most reasonably priced GF dinner in town. Great customer service even though they were hopping on a Saturday night!
