On a weekday around 6pm they were severely understaffed. After waiting 5 mins at the front, we had to flag down the waiter to ask if we could sit.
He was clearly overwhelmed and doing his best, but our drinks easily took 20 mins to appear. The kitchen made a mistake with our order and we sent it back. The cocktails were disappointing as well.

Highest of recommendations! An incredible find after watching our son's football game. We were treated with amazing starters, drinks and service. Will, our server, LOVES working at InJoy and his recommendations were spot-on! The entrées were amazing and the presentation fantastic! The ambiance (back deck), server (Will), and flavorful food WILL bring us back!

I don't usually write reviews but feel compelled to give feedback on this restaurant. I really want to support our local restaurants and want this to be constructive feedback, not critical. I have been wanting to try Injoy for a while and finally convinced my husband to go. Let me start out by saying the food was delicious and there were good portions served. The atmosphere was very welcoming and comfortable. Love the outdoor seating. The service left a lot to be desired. We were greeted when we arrived and our server came by and introduced herself right away and took our drink order. She

Unfortunate, being right around the corner form our house we hoped this would be a good spot to meet friends for dinner… however, on a not so busy Tuesday night, we waited over 10 minutes for our drink order to be taken, then another 20 minutes for our drinks to come, THEN only 3 out of 4 drinks were delivered to the table with the last being delivered 10 minutes later. We decided to cash out and head to old town for dinner before ordering. The drinks were good once they arrived and the patio did look nice so it has potential, maybe we’ll give it a second chance.

It's been a long time since we randomly stopped in to a restaurant we knew nothing about. What a nice surprise to visit InJoy! First of all, the back deck has a great view of the mountains. My husband had the Brie burger with apricot jam. It was cooked a perfect medium rare as ordered. We also started out with calamari which was some of the best I've had lately! It had a great light batter and were crispy on the outside, tender inside. We chose a traditional sauce. Yum. I had a gyro and it also was delicious. I selected the Parmesan fries with truffle as a side. Fries were cooked perfectly

Beautiful atmosphere and the young servers try really hard. Doesn't appear that there's a manager. Apparently owner has moved away. The food is bad. The chicken wings were smoked so long that they were dried out, inedible. The Cesar Salad was not a Cesar salad, leaf lettuce, stale croutons and dressing so thick it was glue. The others had burgers which they said were ok.

Went in for a drink and something to eat. Will the bartender did a great job of waiting on me and suggested the smoked rosemary old fashioned. Delightful drink! Had the steak, cooked exactly as I wanted. If a place can cook a steak correctly, its always a winner in my book. The sauce they served with it(I think it was called an herbed citrus?)complimented it extremely well. Really great spot if you're passing through Erie, highly recommend.

The owner of this place is amazing, she gave me and my mom free waters when all surrounding places had no water to give out due to COVID, so this made us come back to sit and eat a meal here, the staff was very nice and enjoyed how much the owner came to check in and chat with us, the food was amazing, a little pricey for the salads we got, but they were still very yummy, just maybe could have had a little bigger portions for a simple salad price-wise.. but other wise it was a good experience

My Husband and I LOVE this place. We frequently go after golfing or on the weekends for date night. Shane, Susanne and Caitlyn always show us a great time. Shane even remembers our kids and pups names. Fabulous service. Have lots of items we love. My favorite drink is the cranberry orange margarita. It was on the holiday drink list and they carried it over to summer and it's freaking delicious! My husband gets the Shane Old fashion. We also always get the feta dip that comes with these fluffy but crunchy hot pita chips and veggies. My hubby and kids love the crispy Brussels. Over Coronacation

It's a shame InJoy was such a mess on Valentine's Day..... the special evening was a total train wreck. What started out exceptional with an amazing appetizer with a Burning Love Martini it went down rapidly. According to the special Fixed Price menu, we were supposed to get a "surprise from the kitchen" - it never appeared....was that the surprise? We ordered a $70+ bottle of wine with our Surf & Turf .....we were done with our meals when they thought about bringing the wine! That made the special evening a failure. We then waited 32 minutes ( and two cups of coffee

My wife and I wanted to eat salad a couple of weeks ago so we went to this establishment. I ordered the Pear Salad which listed these ingredients:
Pear Salad
arugula, gorgonzola, champagne vinaigrette
I ordered it because I love arugula. the problem was that the salad did not contain any arugula. When I asked the waitress about this she commented " Oh, you don't like the way the salad tastes, I can get you something else. This happens sometimes". I replied, it tastes fine I just want arugula. She was like "I guess we don't have any arugula". She blushed, giggled

This place was awful! When my husband first arrived, the GM said you have to be seated at the bar (what?! What bar to you have to wait to be seated) So, he waited while I parked the car. When I arrived she said sit whatever you want. Let's just say that I'm lighter skinned than my husband, so... We sat at the bar and asked some questions about the menu and she gave us attitude while answering our questions. We asked about the vegan option, and they didn't know what that means, and had to ask the chef. They said the Chimichurri was the best choice. We got our food and it was bad! My Alferdo pasta

My Wife and I finally tried this place last night. I had been hesitant to go to a strip mall restaurant and I’d seen some poor reviews. We were pleasantly surprised by both the location and the food. We had the Salmon board and citrus salad to start. Generous cheese/smoked salmon board was great. We loved the sunset on the patio while having drinks and starters. We then split the cavatappi pasta and the safi chicken. The pasta was good, but the Chicken was fantastic. Might be one of the best chicken dishes I’ve eaten in several years. We met the owners at the bar after dinner and both were

First time trying this place. We started with calamari and dinner salads, both very good and homemade dressing. Calamari could be a bit more crispy and add some salt and pepper. For dinner we had crab cakes and shrimp cavatappi pasta, pasta was amazing but the shrimp needs some seasoning (at least salt and pepper) crab cakes had great flavor. We will for sure be back. Kaitlyn was a great server and friendly.

A little gem we found in Erie..it's been here for 15 months but something pulled us in this evening (for some reason I thought it was Asian food). Happy hour all day on Sundays. We got the Bacon wrapped stuffed dates and Artichoke feta dip and split a mushroom burger with truffle fries. House red was a solid Barbera. Definitely check this place out. (pics of menu and app and daily specials)! Giving the community a little bit of love!

Pretty good food, pretty good drinks, excellent service. I feel like the categorization for this restaurant is just wrong. Yelp has it listed as Mediterranean, which it just isn't. It's American. We had a great burger from the specials menu. We also had a beet salad. I LOVE beets and while the salad was good, it wasn't great, which was a huge bummer. If this place were convenient to go to, I'd probably go again. But since it's out of the way for me, I doubt I'll be back.

My husband and I decided to try this place because we recently moved to Erie and received a coupon in the mail for this place. I ordered the chicken and cous cous and it was delicious, my husband ordered steak and was very disappointed. He said it was a cheap but of meat and didn't have much flavor. My chicken was $18- very good but not worth that much. This place is very pricey so overall I don't feel the food is worth the price you pay especially considering much cheaper options in the area. We also had an experience after receiving our check that made us disappointed overall. They

Went there last night with a group of 6 people. Excellent service and food. I had the chicken with roast potatoes and salsa verde which was very tasty and good value at $16. Everyone was happy with their food. Wine list is short but decent and they have a few beers on tap.
This is a welcome addition to our community. We have been looking for a decent food option beyond Burgers in the neighborhood and it looks like we have found it.

Fine dining experience. Creative menu, great food and drinks. Wine selections from across old and new world. The pork chop dish paired with a South African Pinotage was a party for the palate that couldn't contain an audible "Mmmmm". Starting at the hostess station and continuing up to Benjamin the GM, the staff is approachable, engaging, and friendly.
