My wife and I were in the area and wanted to visit a nonchain restaurant for breakfast. We arrived at the Original Breakfast Place around 8AM on a Sunday. We were promptly seated. I ordered Terri's Big Breakfast with sausage, home fries, Italian toast and pancakes (see picture). I wish the home fries were homemade but everything was delicious so I didn't feel it was worth losing a star. My wife had the eggs and hash. We both enjoyed our meals. Very inexpensive overall, good service, and a tasty breakfast. I would definitely recommend and return!

Just leaving town and stopped by because it was right on our way. So glad we did! The prices were great and the food was delicious. All of the staff were friendly and explained what "Greek Sauce" was. Never heard of it before but it was awesome on and in an omelette. The kids loved all the signs in the wall. Thanks!

I have been here three times now and it is my must go to breakfast spot whenever I am visiting Erie! Everything is amazing from the breakfast sandwich to the Greek burgers and fries! An order of them even made it all the way home to Lancaster,PA. Staff is friendly and helpful and the ambiance just makes you feel like your in the "Cheese" of breakfast places. Side note the biscuits and gravy took me back to the south

The Original Breakfast Place has it all: Sparkling clean. Friendly, smiling staff. Fast, friendly service. Very tasty breakfasts. No one makes breakfast like Americans make breakfast, and if you're in the mood for a really good, all-American start to your day... Just take yourself to The Original Breakfast Place!

Great breakfast place. Had the east side breakfast plate that comes with sausage, bacon, eggs, hash browns or home fries and toast. I got the hash browns, held the toast, ordered scrambled eggs. My mom had thr same and got medium over easy and Italian toast. She liked hers as well. The sausage was outstanding and I am not a sausage person. Get the sausage!!
