Echo Brewing – Erie

First time here-​it was excellent! We had the Shishito peppers and garlic for an appetizer-​very unique. The for the main course-​the Capra pizza. Perfect for two ! Our waitress Chloe was awesome! Patio was getting busy and she handled it like a champ-​very friendly and comfortable with customers. We will be coming back for sure!!!

Great beer, good pizza and totally amateur service. I must say still worth going but you could have a shit time if service is like what we got.
Has any one here worked under proper restaurant management. Get some discipline, get off your phone, stop texting, take care of the customers and stop talking to one another like its your own private club.
At the end we paid, talked with the manager about our issues and left. She understood the issue we had and said she would be talking with «them».

Love this place!
We have gone to Echo ever since they opened in Erie. The owners are some of the nicest people I have ever met. They are constantly improving the menu and listening to what customers have to say.
The beer is seriously some of the best I have tasted. My two favorites are the Red and the Dunkel. You can tell that they truly have a passion for what they do.
If your looking for a brewery to call your own with great service, top quality beer, relaxed atmosphere, definitely go check Echo out!

Echo is by far one of my husbands’a and i’s favorite place to go. The atmosphere is great and the food is really good. It’s family owned and the owners really try hard to get to know their customers. Yea, at times they can get super busy and not be prepared with staff, but we understand and are happy that the place has taken off so much. Oh ya, and it’s a brewery and the beer is amazing! We definitely would recommend this place to everyone we know!

Excellent service, calm and relaxing environment, great beer selection, fantastic food. Yup, that about covers it…

I so wanted to like it and to be fair, I didn’t try the beer. The pizza was not served straight away, so the middle was starting to get mushy. The toppings had no flavor (artichoke, goat cheese and spinach should have flavor?) and there was no seasoning. The Caesar salad was very average. Splitting a pizza and a salad with water should be less than $ 12 in my opinion. Great outside seating although lots of people vaping, which wasn’t pleasant. Very pleasant staff. I might give it another try, but not a first choice in Erie.

The food was okay. We had a Marg pizza and a Capra pizza, which were both ok. I was also super excited to get some Italian Nachos, as those are rare. Unfortunately I was disappointed, as the chips used were tortilla chips. We had two beers, a light one and a brown ale, both were real good. I will be back to try some more beer, and also a meatball sandwich. This sandwich was very popular and looked delicious.

Everything about this place is just ok. The only food they have is pizza and it’s not evenly cooked and a little boring. However, pizza is not a dish that needs to be too exciting, so it’s fine. The beer is hit and miss, they do have some good ones and some really quite terrible ones. The service is not great at all, expect to wait. Because Erie only has so many places to eat we will still go, but if there were more options we probably would choose something else.

Service and food are just ok, beer is pretty much the same. Ok spot if you have a lot of people and just want to have a beer or two, other than that, not much to write home about.

What a great way to spend an afternoon. It’s nice to find a place that has both excellent session beers as well over the top beers. Absolutely love the Nocturnal. My favorite Black IPA ever! Love that they have food, the pizza is really good. Great atmosphere, looking forward to spending my fall days outside by the fire pit.

Beautiful place, and great concept, but it falls far from expectation. It took fifteen minutes before we were seated and we ended up seating ourselves, the drink order was wrong and very slow, for some beers, waters, and a soda. Food order was even slower. Waitresses are not very helpful or knowledgeable when asked for a beer recommendation, «its our award winner» is all they had to say. Needs new staff and better coordination. Beer refill took ten minutes, pizza came out before the appetizers because the ticket for them was misplaced, and the pizza was cold and the waitress knocked a water into my lap setting the pizza down. No apology, no help, she just walked away. Later there was a muttered sorry but that was it. Appetizers came out lacked toppings on the Italian nachos. Will not be back.

Just reviewing on the bar as we had dinner reservations elsewhere. The place is cute and inviting, the beer good and the service fine. My favorite thing is the outside seat in with the garage door open. We will be back!

Quite possibly the worst brewery I have been to. Finally writing this review on my 3^rd attempt to enjoy this place. The beer is good but if you are sitting at a table plan on waiting a long time. If you thought you had to wait long for the beer, try ordering food.
The first time we were there for just under 2 hours only able to get 2 orders of beer and had to leave when our pizza wasn’t even started over hour after order. We paid for our beers and got 4 pint vouchers for the inconvenience. It was an extremely busy night so we will give them an other chance.
Our second time we went there for we finally got a pizza but still took longer than it ever should. Food was good but not worth the wait. Only my wife and I… so I guess we had more patience. Was not busy at all.
This LAST time we just had to walk out! We were sat and our server said she would be right back with 4 waters. She came back 10 – 15 min later without water asking for our drink order and after she took it she said she would be right back with our drink and take our order. 15… 20. min pass. Thats almost 35 min in a brewery and I don’t have a water, a BEER, or was even able to order my meal. Been down that road before, hell no! It was moderately busy.
So offically that was our last trip to Echo, no more chances. If you can’t serve beer and food, then stick to what you know… BEER! And hire food trucks to feed everyone. What a waste of brewery.

Every time I go, it’s packed. Their beer has won a lot of awards, even from the Great American Beer Festival. Their pizza is my favorite in the metro area. Try the Norcia with their homemade hot oil! It’s nice to have such a quality brewery and restaurant nearby. The staff is always very friendly and they have gorgeous outdoor seating!

Dear Erie — WHY? Why no decent places to eat? So frustrating. This place must be all about the beer because they are NOT at all about the service or the food. Beer was adequate. Food was awful — pizza was uninspired and slightly burned on the crust, with a bottom of raw flour, Italian nachos were totally burned and adorned with a plastic cup of horrible marinara sauce, and a salad that was supposed to have cranberries, walnuts, and cheese had a sprinkle of walnut dust and no cheese. None. We might as well have burned our money — that would have been more satifying. Service was just bad. Just seems like nobody here cares. Maybe because drinkers will still come to drink?

Great stop after work to have a beer or two. Never had the food but everyone is nice. One thing I would say is that maybe start to rotate your beers more. Every time I go in it’s the same beers

Great little hang out. Great pizza and beer. Great outside seating. Glad to see this place in Erie.

Service and Food was great! A little $ for our family of 7, but perfect date night dinning. Oh and the beer is awesome:).

Went there on a Saturday night for dinner. Service was really bad (30 min to get my first beer). On top of that they were out of 4 beers, coincidentally the 4 that were my first choice. I can see running out of guest beers but make sure you make enough of your own! However, the beers I were able to try were better than the Colorado microbrew average.
Pizza was ok, but expensive considering. I agree with prior post that the cheesy garlic bread is where it is at.
Nice patio area and they had free live music from 7 – 9 when we went. I’d like to try this place again but maybe I’ll call to make sure they are adequately staffed and aren’t out of so many beers.

Echo brews some amazing beer. I have been enjoying the Frederick location since 2012 and the new Erie location does not disappoint. The pizza at this location is delicious and the staff is friendly and quick! My favorite beer of theirs is the Balefire Irish Red. They also have an excellent beer garden! Enjoy :)
