Since August 2005, the folks at the Frog Leg Inn in Erie have had a “day job”. That’s right, they also run the Frog Leg Inn Bistro at Monroe County Community College, where students, faculty, staff and visitors can get seriously good food at a decent price. This isn’t frozen food that’s simply re-heated in the microwave! There’s an actual grill where most of the cooking is done, and the fries in the above photo came right out of the deep fryer. In this photo, you can see Catherine cooking a couple sandwiches on the grill for a lunchtime order. There are also some interesting specials, such as one day’s Coconut-Encrusted Tilapia with roasted potatoes, a roll and a small pop, all for $5.50. There was an Italian Panini with French Fries and a small pop for $5.25, and even a bowl of Italian Wedding Soup for $2.33. They also have a full salad bar, many other sandwiches, and a full selection of beverages.
If you or yours are headed to school at Monroe County Community College, don’t hesitate about heading to the cafeteria. You might just find something at the Bistro that you’d like. Oh, in the top photo … those things in the bin on the right nearest the camera … handmade potato chips … yup, go getcha some …
Below is their Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, at the cafeteria in the ’A’ building at Monroe County Community College. The steak is nice and hot, covered with grilled onions and green bell pepper, with melted pepper-jack cheese, and served in a grilled steak roll. The French Fries are also excellent … nice and crispy on the outside, with tender potato on the inside.
