Hooch Blotto's - Erie

The food was terrible and took too long to prepare. We came to bowl and eat dinner. Waitress took half an hour to take our food orders. We had one hour of bowling, and the food came five minutes before our time was up, leading to staff rushing us to leave our table in the bowling area for the next reservation. The rib steak was dry, tough, and overcooked. I had asked for medium rare, it was medium well. The kids didn't like the pizza and the chicken tenders were dry. The potatoes were good.The bowling was fun, but the nearest group to us kept encroaching into our space, taking both community tables. I recommend eating somewhere else, then come for bowling and just a snack and drinks.

The bar area was busy because the NFL football games were on.We called ahead to reserve a lane for bowling. When we got there it took awhile for someone to greet us. They said we didn't reserve a lane there was nothing marked. I know we called because I was a guest at my friends house and she suggested us go there for something to do and eat out kinda of place. She asked me if we wanted 1:30 or 2:30. We took the 1:30pm time slot giving us plenty of time to drive over there. We ordered pizza was told it would be awhile cause they were busy. That was fine since we had only one hour of bowling to get thru too.Pizza showed up rather quickly. Was impressed with that.Bowling was fun. The gutters were to come up automatically for only the one player. They didn't. We bowled with them up. Made the game more interesting but we made the best of a bad situation. We didn't walk out. We will give it another go around when i drive up and visit again.

Had a blast with the family. Waitress was unbelievably friendly and got whatever we needed. So much fun when we bowled.

I placed an order to go and over the phone the service was good and when I checked in they we're pleasant.They took my money as soon as I walked in, then they told me they were behind in the kitchen. She told me 5 mins they were making my quesdila. Waited an additional 10 mins and she said they forgot about my order and that was for someone else.I placed my order at 730 they told me 25 mins when I finally got my food it's was close to 830 which means I waited almost an additional 30 mins.The chicken quesdila was good and the nick Greek salad was good but did not come with any pita bread.The kids chicken fingers were unacceptably burnt and i am not sure why anyone in a kitchen would send that out. It would have taken too much time to request another order. I would not come back here if I visited again it was not worth the money. Kid-friendliness: There us a bowling alley on site

My bride of 50 years and I had just spent two weeks on Desert Mountain Island, Maine and the Stowe/Smugglers notch area of Vermont, sightseeing hiking and were on our way back to West Central illinois and stopped in Erie, Pa. for the night. Stopping at Hooch Blotto's was because it was close to the Marriott Courtyard we stayed in. We expected the food would be okay and thought the service might be mediocre, since it was listed as a Sport's Bar. Wow!!! Was I WAY off in my pre-judgement! First of all, the waitress was an absolute peach very sweet, patient (we're sorta old), and very knowledgeable about the menu and her recommendations were spot on. The burgers were done to perfection, almost as if I had done them at home, only without my labor... seriously, they were that good. Her recommendation of the zucchini hors d' oeuvres was perfect, so we were two weary travelers that were VERY pleasantly surprised with the food and service at Hooch Blotto's and will very likely stop in whenever we're in the area.
