Third or fourth time eating here…My mindset on this place previously was that it is dingy and service is consistently awful, but the food was absolutely fantastic which made the negative things seem tolerable. Well, their food is the last domino to fall on this place. Paid $52 for a bland, overcooked leather strap (12 oz filet); literally NO seasoning. Pretty sure it wasn’t 12 ounces either, but I didn’t realize bringing a scale to confirm meat weight was a necessity. The mushrooms were amazing, I just feel paying $52 for mushrooms is a little aggressive. Good thing my wife bats cleanup and likes leather straps; I was going to feed it to my dogs. Also, don’t ask for soda refills on their 6oz (rough estimate) glasses, as they charge $2.50 per refill. All that being said, at least the guys in the kitchen are having a great time as you can hear just about everything they say when they’re laughing and carrying on. I would add some context on how awful the service was, but that was expected before we walked through the door. This place tries so hard to be fine dining, but my advice to anyone thinking about giving this restaurant a try, save your money and go somewhere else. ✌

First time dining. Food was good, steak was perfectly cooked. Husband and I wanted to try a new steak house that doesn’t completely break the bank. Pleasantly surprised. We will definitely go back.

I saw all the bad reviews and almost canceled. So glad we didn’t! Sierra was extremely attentive and the food was great! We are steak snobs and our steaks were done perfectly. No fat or gristle on my strip steak. They include 2 sides, unheard of at most supper clubs. Very glad we came!

The food was excellent. The service was decent, and there seemed to be a lot of new waitresses and Waiters that were not very familiar with food options or menu options. They seem to be a little overburdened when it came to any bar drink. That’s the only reason I gave it four out of five stars.

Went to dinner here after Carroll graduation No complaints about the staff Food came out quick. That’s where the happiness ended. I ordered the chicken Marsala. The chicken breast tasted good but when I mixed in the Marsala (which quickly coagulated when it got cold) and the pasta, it all tasted like shrimp, like a shrimp scampi. I asked the rest of the table and EVERYONE’S pasta tasted like shrimp scampi. It also had hard crusty dark colored noodles mixed in, like it wasn’t properly stored and the edges dried up in the fridge. Just GROSS! I totally lost my appetite. Chicken Marsala and shrimp don’t mix. Nobody ate their pasta sides. Thankfully my husband ordered a huge porterhouse so I did get to eat a little of that. It was ok but very charred. We were a party of 8 and ordered appetizers expecting enough to go around We received exactly two crab cakes and 3 Scallops. nobody liked those either and we didn’t finish them. The bread was warm but dry like day old bread. We spent a lot of $$ expecting a fine dining experience but unfortunately didn’t get that (except on the bill). I should have realized this may not be a good idea when they were able to take our big group reservation a week before Carroll graduation and Mother’s Day weekend. We actually tried some other places first but nobody had openings. Three stars because outside of the above, the French onion soup, salads, burgers, chicken sandwich, fillet and sirloin were good, or at least I was told.

My wife and I have been going to Eric’s for years. The service has airways been very good and the food is consistently excellent. The portions are large, so come hungry! There are nightly specials, a happy hour from 4 to 6 throughout the week, and an all you can eat fish fry on Friday. Great for either a special occasion or just a dinner out.

I’ve been to Eric’s a few times now, and I can say that the food never disappoints. The porterhouse is juicy, tender, and extremely flavorful. The garlic mashed potatoes, veggies, and mushrooms compliment the steak very well. The background music sets the scene, and makes you feel like you’re in a supperclub during the 1950’s. My wife said it was the best steak she has ever had. The only suggestion I would have is in regards to the decor. Everything goes very well except the tables. The room we were in had 3 different types of tables that didnt really match. They may have had to pull an additional table from another room to accommodate our large group though. However the tables do not take away from the amazing food, and friendly service.

Very pleased with our first visit. Stopped by Saturday around 7:30, dinner crowd seem to be over. We were seated right away, had some fantastic service and drinks almost immediately. Food came out incredibly fast and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back again! Only downfall is the parking. Lot is very small but plenty of street parking available.

Great food and service! A nice little sport with an amazing menu. The wait staff was friendly, and it wasn’t too crowded. The food was hot and fresh and we weren’t rushed at all. Not a spot to go every day but if you are feeling fancy it is perfect.
