As we walked up to the opening we saw the hostess keep sticking her head around the corner to see if any customers were coming. It was weird, as she did it several times before we got to the opening. When we walked into the restaurant itself, it was very nondescript. The walls are gray the ceiling black some large white lights hang throughout the ceiling with light that is just a little too bright. We didn't notice any decor other than some string lights hanging on the wall by the entrance way. There were several t.v.s. I commented to my husband, "this must be some kind of sports bar", there was nothing other than sports on t.v. to let you know.
Now for the meal, oh my!! We requested two drinks a salty dog and a cape cod (which was the drink of the day). I saw my husband's face when he took a sip of the drink and knew something was wrong. I took a sip and almost gagged. It was nasty! How do you screw up vodka and grapefruit juice? As for the cape cod, I could see through the plastic glass it was in. It tasted watered down. I couldn't see our waitress around so summoned the hostess and told her we were sending these drinks back as they were no good. She said, "just a minute", walked over to the seating girl and that was that. When our waitress finally arrived we explained the situation and sent the drinks back. She was very accommodating and asked if we would like a different drink. I told her, "if they can't make a salty dog or cape cod, I'll just pass on anything else".
Now for the food. We ordered the buffalo chicken appetizer. When it cam out it was served in a large flat white bowl. My husband looked at me and said, " doesn't look like very much". I agreed but the problem turned out it was more than enough for an appetizer it was just served wrong. If it had been served in a smaller bowl surrounded by the chips it would have been a better presentation. As for the flavor, it was very good. We did enjoy it.
We both ordered the Eddie's burger which was a little too greasy for me but my husband liked it fine. I don't know if it was worth $9, but I'm not sure any normal hamburger is worth that much. The french fries were inedible in my world. I commented to the waitress that the french fries were basically cold and had no crispness to them at all. They were like a thawed out frozen french fry. She explained they were "hand" cut. I asked her does the chef (and I use the term loosly) fry the twice? She looked as me as if I was crazy and said, "no". I told her to suggest it to him as they would be much crisper. Guess the "chef" never read Joy of Cooking.
And after all of this, they did nothing to make up for the bad drinks (they were kind enough not to charge us for them, as the waitress informed us) and soggy inedible fries.
My husband went to warm up the truck as I waited to pay the bill. When I left I saw a togo container sitting on a display table between the men and ladies room (these are outside the restaurant). I wondered what that was about. When I got to the truck, my husband explained what happened. Another customer had come out and placed it there saying "They can keep this crap. I am never coming back here again. Eddie better get it together or he won't be there next year at this time. read more
