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.

We stopped here on our way back to Milwaukee from Ithaca, based on Google reviews and my gluten free needs. Absolutely sensational sandwiches. This will now be a regular stop when we’re traveling this route. Customer service was also A+++ with the nicest welcome, friendliest overview of the menu, and super reassuring about how they do gluten free. Thank you!!!

Very good burger on a gluten free bun.

I cannot begin to tell you about my amazing experience at The Cork! My students, staff, and I stopped for lunch on our way to Pittsburgh and the staff was beyond accommodating! They had meals prepackaged for those fasting in observance of Ramadan and even created a dedicated, private prayer space. And the chef and manager gave a short presentation about working in hospitality and management. The food was beyond amazing and then curate a menu to fit everyone; vegetarian, halal, and gluten free! I would highly recommend The Cork for a small intimate dinner with a loved one or a large group. Not to mention the staff was SO great with my high schoolers.

Good experience. Hailee the server was awesome. Tons of gluten free and allergen menu. Amazing view, good decor and ambiance, relaxing. Portions are huge. Would prefer smaller with more quality. Shrimp on flatbread didn’t have any flavor and was a bit tough. Lots of cheese/oil, but nothing bad tasting. Pork was well cooked, tender and juicy.

Great to find gluten free pancakes in the US. Great service and taste from pancakes.

Glenn McKnight

Special little restaurant. Gluten free friendly.

My wife and I ate here recently, I ordered the roasted-garlic sirloin steak (medium rare) with garlic/thyme butter, loaded baked potato.. it was really good and seasoned well, I ordered a side salad (I chose the BLT salad) for an additional upcharge and it was delicious. My wife (Gluten Free) ordered the tomahawk pork-chop, and it was massive, came with roasted carrots that were cooked perfect and were probably the largest carrots we'd ever seen as an accompaniment. They did botch her request for the GF option she had chosen, but that didn't prevent my wife from enjoying the rest of her meal.. the only thing preventing us from having an overall great experience was the temperature inside, it was cold, very cold, and we weren't even that close to the entryway.. most tables nearby had their jackets on for the duration of their meals as well.. but overall it was very satisfying, and the price was good for the portion sizes. We will be back.

Gluten free options available! Plus good food. Ham and Turkey club was great.

My son and I eat here a lot as he has some dietary restrictions. It's so nice to have somewhere we can go out to get food for him that he can have. I also really like that they have some of the harder to find gluten and dairy free options in the grocery.

Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Their Gluten free options were good, but my burger looked more like wet cat food pate than a burger. The other food (grilled cheese, Mac and cheese, and Stromboli) were up to par for kids and my partner. All-in-all, not a bad choice, but I would not order the burger again.

I appreciate the tasty gluten-free options on the menu.

I absolutely LOVED this place. I watched the birth of this establishment on the Discovery Channel TV program Undercover Billionaire. Since my wife and I were in town, we decided to try it out. When we walked in, we were immediately taken in by the smell of smoke. Something you would smell if you were doing an outside wood fired BBQ. As we looked at the menu, my wife was concerned about several items on the menu. She has become very gluten sensitive in the last 2 years which has caused her to scrutinize everything she eats. We consulted with the waitress and she was not able to sufficiently answer our questions. The waitress actually brought the cook from the kitchen (I think it was Ashley) who was able to tell us what was in the food. My wife was able to make a selection that was not only safe for her to eat but was also delicious. (BTW, my meal was great, too!) Thank you to all the staff at Underdog BBQ and I wish you great success!

A fantastic restaurant. All of the food was incredibly flavorful. I greatly enjoyed the cucumber wrapped salad, charcuterie board, and chocolate cake. They had many gluten free options available and were very knowledgeable (celiac's!). My only wish is that I had booked an outdoor table since the view there is so spectacular.

Tiffany Leubner

Love this place! We visited from out of town, they use clean healthy ingredients! The Long fermented sourdough was so good they also have all fresh food including farm fresh eggs, latte with honey was amazing! It’s small but the owner and staff is extremely welcoming and friendly, 10/10 recommend!! Also have a lot of gluten free options!

Gina

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

Not Me

This is our "go to" place for breakfast. Sometimes there is a line (weekends esp) but the food is good, portions large, coffee just right, and the right price. My fav is the half portion frittata (bc LG is size of plate.and way too much for me to eat in one sitting). Four types of toast (white, wheat, rye, french), bit only one gluten Free option (oatmeal),- hopefullygf grits and GF toast can be added. Brought fam of 7 here after.graduation and all were satisfied w the experience.

Needed a quality place for great beer and food after spending hours on the beach. This place is all that and more. CC was our server and took care of us with great service. They accommodated my wife with a gluten free salad and flatbread. We got the cod special, blackened chicken pasta and shrimp tacos and all tasted fresh and very filling. Large selection of beer cans and bottles. This place is a local gem in Erie.

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.

Jane Asher

We are breakfast regulars and totally love the food, the fair prices, and most of all -- the great service!! And they are accommodating with my celiac -- need to be gluten-free.

Melissa Troutman

Gluten-free bread option! :) Great food and service.

Rick Lane

My favourite and only place I will go for breakfest. Needing gluten free breakfest their very accomdating serving me extra hash browns instead of toast along with eggs the way I like them and extra Bob Evans sausage. Add unlimited coffee and I can stay away. And all the ladies provide excellent attentive service. Five stars from this Canadian.

Robert Smith

I've only been going there for a little over a year. I love the food and the Gluten Free coffee cake

Allen Cole

It was all decorated for Christmas, beautiful!! All of their soups were Gluten free which is hard to find. We'll be back for sure!

Wendy Torok

Ordered over medium eggs, hash browns and bacon for my gluten and dairy free breakfast! It was delicious!

Wendy Bahm

If your Gluten Free you have options! From hard cider and spirits to a gluten free bun and more, you can drink and eat gluten free! *if cross contamination is a concern call and ask, I can only speak to gluten free ingredient options.
