I am new to the area and someone suggested that I go to a place called Erv's Mug, with a name like that I thought it was a dive bar! When I arrived on a Friday night and walked thru the door i was impressed right away. There was a beautiful blonde bartender that greeted me right away and ask me if i was lost, I knew she was kidding, I asked her where I would see the hostess for a table for 4 and she directed me. Again, I was greated with a smile and a very cheerful young lady, (the wait was about 20 minutes) so we sat at the bar for one and drank with a girl who calls herself ""Martini"". She had us laughing the whole time. That girl can sure run a bar, It was amazing just to sit there and watch her!!! Are name was called and we went to sit down for dinner. ( The great service never ended) Our waitresses name was Jessica, she had a great attitude and was always on the ball!! The Food was excellent and the spirits were high. Pros: Great service, Great Food Cons: NOTHING more

The secrets out! Excellent food at affordable prices.... but BRING YOUR APPETITE! The quantiity matches the quality here. Friday night Fish Fry's are fantastic also! Pros: Excellent food, Large portions Cons: Crowded on fridays more

Erv's Mug is one of those places you tell friends about after your first visit, mainly due to the decor. There is memorabilia everywhere, and to go during the holidays is like being transported to the North Pole. Erv's is a great place for a hearty sandwich, whether it's for dinner or lunch. Portions are generous and the flavor is generally good. The Friday fish fry is delicious, but the wait can be long. Nice selection of beer as well. more
