Dominick’s 24 Hour Eatery

I like the atmosphere, people are very friendly.
Food is alright, we went there for breakfast. The American cheese they used on their omelettes seemed liked craft singles. The omelette was large but the cheese kinda ruined it. The hash browns were billed separately on the check. Total for 2 omelettes with hash browns and 1 coffee and one soda $ 25 plus tax. Seemed high for what we got.

Always enjoyed it here just don’t go when bars close real busy. Service at times can be a challenge but food well worth it.

Service is really slow, but their food isn’t bad. Their fries are fantastic, as are their pancakes, and the Ruben is ok as well. It’s not to pricey either and since it’s 24 hours is a decent place to go after drinking.

I am leaving a review because someone dissed the sauce on the meatball omelette. WTF? After 20 years of living in San Francisco, I came back to Erie and had a meatball omelette; it’s just as good as I remember, or better, which is amazing, because I was sober tonight when I had it, and I used to only get the meatball omelette after a night of drinking. I feel like going back and just getting the spaghetti and meatball because I love this sauce so much.
We got chicken wings too, very good, classic red hots flavored, true buffalo style. And they let me substitute blue cheese for ranch, the only thing that would have made it better would be some carrot sticks and celery.

It’s a dive but the food is good.
I always order either the Steak Salad or Meatball Omelet.
They’re no longer 24 hours. I think they close at some point.
Great for midnite food. There’s about 18 tables/​booths (seating from 2 – 8), it’s 1:05am on a Fri night/​Sat morning and 3 tables are empty!

We had breakfast there today and the team and food were outstanding! They treated my family wonderfully. My young son was looked out for, the waitress was fun and extremely helpful, and they took care of all of our requests including pasta at 9 am! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience as we got ready to leave on our road trip!

It’s an awful part of town and the clientele are locals, bikers, or inebriated.
However, the food is generally pretty good. There isn’t anything too fancy on the menu, but nothing appalling either.
The best thing on the menu is definitely the Reuben and it is in the running for the best in town.

Hit this place at like 11pm. The place was empty.
I got a meatball omelet. This may have been good if the sauce wasn’t terrible, but most likely not. I did not like this place. The food varied between average and gross (pizza rolls). The coffee should have been free because I drank hot water. Being the only table in the restaurant, it took us forever to receive our food.
One to miss.

I have only ever ate breakfast here … The breakfast is not amazing. However there is not much open after the club and people like to come here and catch up late at night. The food is average. Parking is at times hard to come by and at times the patrons are questionable …

Meatball omelette… WOW! Who stole my grandma and put her to work making the best breakfast meal ever??! Thank you to the Almighty for allow

Would have loved to give this place a try, but after trudging a block from our winter covered parking lot, we were greeted by a closed sign and a notice of «cold weather hours». No indication of this closure anywhere I could find in advance. Sign was lit from the street, so it seemed open driving by.

If you’re in Erie, you have to make it to Dominick’s Eatery. It has a lot of great qualities, like being a classic diner, and having breakfast any time of the day or night. The omelets are wonderful, and the service is friendly and fast. You can eat here for under six dollars, if you pay attention to the menu.
The great thing about Dominick’s is that it’s one of those places that you look for when you’re traveling. It has character and charm, with murals on the walls and a counter with stools. The only drawback might be that you have to park on the street in front, which is a busy four-​lane road.

Not sure why this place has 4.5 but maybe I was just fooled by that rating to try this place out and forgot I couldn’t compare diner food to an actual restaurant. I’ve been to some excellent diners in my travels, & this is not one of them.
Went here w 3 other people, and tried everyones’ dishes & all were really over salted. I got the billy philly, which is basically a Philly cheesesteak & their stuffed pepper soup. Cheese steak was really dry, used can mushrooms, extremely salty, & a little bit under portioned. The soup was good on the execution but again really salty to a point you shouldn’t eat it. Tried a friends roast beef which was very salty. Tried the chicken sandwich (grilled) which was very dry & chewy. Can’t say this place is inedible since they do try to use some fresh ingredients from what I saw (fresh ripe tomatoes & real mashed potatoes). Also tried my wife’s grilled cheese which was pretty good, but if you mess that up, close your restaurant.
Over all, if you can’t find a place to eat or you’re out at 2am or you love mediocre diner food, this place is for you. Or maybe I’m just wrong & we came on an «off night».

Looking for 2am food or later. You won’t beat this place. Classic diner food with 24 hour breakfast.

Really the only place to grab a snack or real meal at 3am in the morning! The Butter Garlic Wings are AWESOME! And the omelettes and sandwiches are really tasty. The servers are REAL friendly! One of my all time Erie favorites! :D

Calling a place Domenick sounds like a not-​too-​subtle come on to a guy named Nicholas, so it’s amazing how changing an «e» to an «i» and adding an «s» can make it family friendly.
A really nice diner with some attitude, it’s open 24 hours which is a rarity in these parts, and the roast beef sandwich is really, really, really good and tasty and thin shredded! Yum gravy and homemade mash! ⁵⁄₅
For the friendly and interesting waitstaff and clientele, for the fact that it has survived all these years, for the fact that it is a local institution, for the fact that the portions are huge and the menu is extensive, for the fact that the food is delicious, for the fact that the put Burger King out of business (YES!), and for the fact that it is the only thing open (of quality) within 50 square miles at 3 in the morning… try it!
I came here with two old friends after my second ever concert performance in Erie, PA. The first one, several years earlier, was where I met my good friend Mason. The second one had a much larger crowd of about 30, but wasn’t one of my best concerts, between the terrible weather, which made me really late, and a lack of space to perform in, and then a broken keyboard during the show which meant I had to drive back to Buffalo after eating Dominick’s, and then all the way the other way to Youngstown, OH. But Dominick’s was definitely a good memory on a bad night.

Where else can one get a 5 meat omelet at 3AM?
Instant 5 stars!
I cannot imagine eating here under any other circumstances …
Sobering up at Dominick’s is an Erie rite of passage.

Well, this place was quite amazing. Nothing like feasting upon a delicious meal of breakfast after a night of drinking. To be honest, I don’t remember too much from the meal, only that it tasted amazing! This place is open late, which is awesome. From what I recall, it was pretty cheap too. Cool little place in the heart of Erie, perfect for any meal, morning, day or night.
So GENIUS.

Dominick’s is delicious food located in downtown Erie. I must state that I usually eat here after drinking downtown, and that the wait staff are still very courteous. Prices are fair, menu is delicious, location is great.
(Note: I don’t know if this has changed yet, but I believe it is cash only.)

Here is the truth about Dominick’s the food you get is common fare and its hot and always cooked. The waitress staff is always friendly and if you tip more than 20% they will remember you and as you sit down they will fill your coffee up.
I would often swing by Dominick’s after working at the hospital all night. Never had a problem in there as the cops eat there too. The meatball sandwich was a good price. Nothing was ever burnt or undercooked and if I didn’t like it they said what else can we get you, no charge.
Its blue collar customers and you can see on their faces, hands and clothes when they come in. Its cheap to eat at Dominick’s but it does not taste cheap. You could go to IHOP or perkins but your paying too much for the eats.
The is also the music selection that has the greats hits from the 70’s and 80’s nothing flashy just good old easy rock and roll.
Once I forgot my wallet and I went to talk to the manager and told him I would be right back. He said, I’ve seen you in here a 100 times you pay next time your in. I did and no harm no foul.
When I visit Erie I make it a point to go in and have a cut of coffee, I’ve had a few friends die over the years and going there just seems to make them a little more alive.
