Three B Saloon — Restaurant in Erie

I have no idea where you all have been eating, but I've never been this outraged in my life. This place is as classy as a strip club in rural Alabama at noon on Tuesday. The food has progressively gotten crappier over the last two years and every so often I put an order in hoping it will get better. This time we reached "I'll never spend another dime in that establishment again." I called in a to go order on a Friday night. The woman on the phone was rude, short and damn near hung up on me by the end of the order. She said "20 minutes." So 20 minutes later my boyfriend showed up only to find no to go orders. No one there remembered taking my order or anything. Well, sucks to suck, Libby, I remember exactly who took my order. Libby's impersonal response on the phone leads me to believe she has done this before and hopes that no one remembers her name.

I'm not here to make her life hell I'm assuming working for that pompous meatball can make everyone hate their job. I'm assuming he pays the standard 2.82/ hr for his servers that bust their backs everyday and get nothing in return but crappy tips and creepy glances from all is greasy friends.

Moving past assumptions, after my order was taken a second time and made on the fly, I can only imagine that whoever put the order in has never once read the menu. I ordered the bacon cheese fries. She ordered a side of fries, add bacon, add cheese. The food was cold, the fries were probably yesterday's and honest to goodness the dog refused to eat that meat they call brisket.

I passed a homeless guy who said he wouldn't eat food from there because it gave him the "black runs" and he only had one roll of toilet paper.

So, if you want to be ignored by wait staff who probably aren't getting paid enough by a guy who probably wears banana hammocks "because he likes how they feel," and you've decided that you want to pay way too much money for food that's mediocre on a good day, then this is your place.

But if you work for your money and want food worth eating served by people that might treat you with respect, I'd steer clear.

P.S. those "black runs"...

Was not really impressed... Being from the south originally I was so excited to try this place and we'll who does not love bacon.. We started with fried green tomatoes..the tomatoes were amazing the breading not so much..it was over fried and over spiced .... I took a big drink of sweet tea I don't know in what Yankee world they are living in but that was not sweet tea..we had the fry basket not impressed...the mixed basket with the pulled pork and brisket sliders...the smoked chicken I could eat all day long it was amazing and just like I've had back home. The sliders were dry and bland, you could tell the brisket was reheated, and not in a good way..The burger we also got delish...I however will never order Mac and cheese there again...That just broke my heart.i guess for a BBQ joint in pa it's a pick and choose what never to get and what was amazing. If your from the south and know bbq you will be...

Update (November 2018): Been coming back for a year. The food is consistently good (except for the one time we went the night before a long holiday for them).

Mac and cheese still the best we've had and my daughter's favorite. Ribs consistently fall off the bone and is superbly flavorful. Their smoked turkey, which is now a regular item, is out of this world. Was just there for their annual "MEATsome" special which is a player that feeds 2-4 people, with beef ribs, pork ribs, turkey, wings, steak fries and sweet potato fries. The only thing I could say was "uuugggghhhh". I was so stuffed and so satisfied I could barely talk. Easily the best smoked beef ribs I've EVER had. Anywhere.

Original: Good BBQ, excellent Mac & cheese! Owner and staff are very friendly and nice; Atmosphere is welcoming. Their food is solid. The grilled corn bread is the best I’ve had anywhere. Ribs are...
