What happens when there are more than a few things you want from a menu? Just order them all and hope for the best. And order them we did at Chef Jeff Crowe at Erie St. Kitchen in Kent Ohio. We ordered, in no particular order, Lobster Roll, Deviled-Eggs, Gumbo, Jambalaya, Goat Cheese Balls Cajun Cheese Curds. With a. Side of Cardiologist. 🤡. All of it was elevated from “bar food” by the care that Chef Jeff and his staff put into the prep. Located in the historic Venice Cafe in Kent. This should be a “must try” on your destination food trips.
Last week I had the fried alligator and today I had the burger it was all really good i especially loved the alligator I wish it wasn’t seasonal I definitely recommend coming here for a good meal!
I enjoyed the “southern taste” that 𝐄𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐊𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 provides! I ordered the grilled chicken 🍗 + shrimp 🍤 jambalaya that’s accompanied by whole green beans and hush puppies. The food was prepared pretty quickly and I enjoyed every bite of it. Next time I’ll have to try the tenders, lobster, and po boys they have as well. Certainly good eats! 👏🏾
Very good southern style food! The Jambalaya was excellent! Tons of gluten free options. Amazing desserts. A somewhat casual setting inside a bar, but the food was great! Fried green tomatoes are so good. Worth the trip!
Some of the best lobster bisque I’ve had in a while! And the rest of the food was amazing as well. Drinks were great and the down home service from the owner and his staff were top notch.
Hadn't been to The Venice since grad school (longer ago than I'd like to admit). Met a friend there to catch up. Still has the same charm but with a much-needed upgrade in food. The Erie Street Kitchen is that. The menu includes gluten free and vegetarian options, more than just a 'salad'. Beer selection isn't too wide but covered the basics. Fast and friendly service. Food portions were generous. Fantastic array of deserts There is also a small stage for live music. Very good experience. Will be going back.
Best seafood I've had in ages. Pricey, but justified by quality, size and the fact that they use local ingredients. I really appreciate that.
That said, order delivery. They keep the noise inside turned all the way up, so that even pickup orders are tough to make out. Not sure who could survive eating there with their hearing intact!
