I've never been to a sit down restaurant where the owners or servers asked me my name.. just to get to know the neighbors. It really made this restaurant even more welcoming. Both times I've been here Raed has come by the table to make sure everything is good and just to say hi. Jimmy has also been great as a server and takes the time to make recommendations and explain the menu. It really sets this place apart from other 'quick' restaurants where you can feel like that number they give you to put on the table. My friend and I were both on a meat free day and thought that middle eastern would be a great switch up. I ordered the falafel pita wrap and the fatoush salad. Falafel is kind of like another countries version of hush puppies.. with more complex batter :) it's made with chickpeas and lots of fresh herbs. They wrap that in a pita with some pickles, lettuce tomato and choice of sauces. The tzatziki is a classic yogurt sauce with cucumber garlic and herbs. They press the whole thing so the pita gets a little crusty. My friend had the magic carpet flight of curries how fun is that name. Lol she picked 3 veggie curries and it came with rice as well. The lentil was nice with a good tang! I definitely recommend the hummus and pita chips for an app. It was very tasty and fresh! read more

I picked this place knowing that with fusion places, things can be really hit or miss. Still, it had all five star reviews. Well! Let me tell you... Everything was DELICIOUS! My son stopped his meal mid-bite multiple times to tell us how amazing it was. There are soooo many things on the menu we want to try next time. Oh! And service was superb. We walked out feeling like we made new friends Will be back for sure! read more

Excellent mideastern restaurant! The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable to boot! I highly recommend visiting Fast Eddy's anytime! read more

Drove past this place many times, today we finally went in and it was amazing. The ambiance is fun, hard rock music and rock and roll posters on the wall. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Made us feel very welcome. My wife went with the spicy chicken curry and it tasted delicious! Great flavors and spice. I went with the Beef Eddy. Steak with veggies with garlic sauce. A lot of great tastes going on in the this pita wrap. Peppery with a good contrast in textures with cool, crunchy veggies. The onion rings were very good and very big. Both meals were very big and you're not leaving hungry. Highly recommended Fast Eddy's, we will be returning soon. read more

This place is awesome. The staff is friendly and knows the their dish in depth to provide recommendations. I came in slightly hungry and ordered the Beef Tikka. My appetite opened up once the food came. The smaller plate was well portioned. I loved how the seasoning and charcoal flavor was imparted into the veggies and beef. The veggies were tender and the beef was just right. The rice mixed well with the veggies and beef. Everything was topped with sumac seasoning. I love how the flavors come together in the dish. The restaurant was busy and the staff handled it. The team lead and patrons praised the staff for the excellent food. The overall atmosphere and ambiance is positive all around. I will definitely be coming back to try another dish. A well deserved 6 star review. read more

I don't even know where to start. This restaurant is amazing and the owner was so personable and engaging. From the time we entered to leaving, we were made to feel like family. The food was so flavorful and rich. We came late and were still cared for so well. Personally, we felt bad about staying until closing, but we got to talk a lot with the owner and he brought me out a sizable sample of the chicken stew. If you're wanting to try something different, I would get the magic carpet so you can try the range of different stews. You could also go with what you know. Hubby got the mixed plate of grilled meats and veggies. You'll be surprised at the love and seasoning that goes into the dish. Reminds me of when I cook at home. Definitely recommend and we will be going again. Get the mumba and garlic sauce and thank me later. Maybe ask for more than one lol It's different, but good. Kids eat free on Sundays! read more

Loved it! Five of us went for first time. Service was outta site and delicious tasty food the same. The amba sauce was devine. Don't walk but run to Fast Eddy's! read more

First "real meal" after having a wisdom tooth removed and it did not disappoint. Reza was an awesome server and the food was so flavorful. Reza offered a side of their secret Babylonian sauce for the fries which is a must. Fast Eddys just does it right. From the service, to the food, to the ambiance. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. read more

Amazing service, excellent food and ambiance is top notch. It is easy to see why this place has a near perfect 5/5. Menu is large and options are varied. Enjoyed food so much that with the input of the owner I ordered take out for company dinner tonight. read more

This restaurant never disappoints! I had a fabulous new dish tonight called the Samurai Platter! It was so good!!! The food is not only delicious, it's healthy too! If you haven't tried it, you're missing out on one of the best restaurants in Jacksonville. The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything is A+++ read more

Hands down the best restaurant to eat in the area!! The local owners are so personable and the food options are great, even if you don't like middle eastern food. The rock atmosphere is a nice unique touch as well. I was so excited to eat it, I forgot to take a picture first. read more

My son just found this place! So far he's tried the beef kabob, Nada's macaroni, spicy chicken curry, Biryani rice and the Motley chicken tenders. He loved it all. I soon will try the penne alfredo with peas and the Booreg beef egg rolls. Friendly owners and portions are larger than usual. Plenty of interesting items to try on the menu. I look forward to our next visit and I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Unassuming gem in the Winn-Dixie plaza, with great staff and amazing flavors. Took my mom there for her birthday along with a few other family, and we enjoyed every moment. From their tasty take on hummus and chips to the delectable shawarma and falafel to the friendly folks who make you feel like family while you're there and explain their family's relationship to food. The beef Eddy had some of the juiciest, best-marinaded cut of meat I've ever had wrapped--and definitely not your typical spitfired and sliced meat. Everyone else loved the flavors in their entrées, as well, with the chicken Eddy, the falafel wrap, and the fries, which were pitch perfect in crunch, seasoning, and warmth. There are few places anymore where the quality of the food and service seem like they're worth the cost, but Fast Eddy's is it, and I'm already making plans to go back. read more

The service was incredible. The phone rang while I was there and she asked me if it would be alright to answer the phone. She then politely asked the person on the other line if it was ok to hold for a minute. This was my first time in, so I needed a little guidance. She was super helpful making suggestions and I was able to quickly place order. I asked for the food to go and walked outside until the food was ready. When I walked back inside they immediately handed me my food. I then changed my mind and ate at an available table outside. She returned a few minutes later and asked me if she could bring me some water. Food was excellent! And Service was refreshing. I will go back and appreciate that they went above and beyond! Highly recommend! read more

Bomb chicken sandwich with the side sauce that came from some cave in the homeland according to the owner of the restaurant. The chicken was well seasoned, and the sandwich was huge. I honestly could only eat half of the sandwich and the fries and had to take the rest home. The service was phenomenal, and Jai Alai on tap can't be beat. Check this place out! read more

Awesome place! Delicious, eclectic mix of NASCAR, Heavy Metal, Middle Eastern and American food. Generous portions, a variety of choices, and some very healthy options. If the fantastic food wasn't enough, you will enjoy the super-friendly owners (Ra'ed) and staff who take the time to know your name and talk with you about the menu and their concept. They take pride in their food and it shows. Fast Eddie's is the kind of place where you feel like a regular on your first visit. If you want fun, casual, friendly, fast delicious food. You can't go wrong! read more

When we read FAST we often think of fast food shoved thru a drive through window, well this FAST EDDY's is not that at all. It is REALLY GOOD, really fresh and cooked to order. We ordered take out for six, with some food allergies and it took over 25 minutes, so get the fast food thought out of your mind. Parking is plentiful, as it is located in a strip center with Winn Dixie and SERVICE IS ABOVE AND BEYOND. Cups of water while we waited, discussion on food prep with the chef, when part of our order was missed, they delivered it to our door 20 minutes later. Now that is commitment. The food: Cheesesteak - American cheese steak with a middle eastern twist, packs quite a spice kick but really good. Biryani - a rice dish that reminded me of Louisiana dirty rice, really flavorful. Grilled Vegetables - my favorite dish, I eat vegetation and the veggies were firm and delicious. Chicken Tika - a good dish my wife enjoyed fully. Just a hint of hot spice, but she loved it. Hummus - not like the versions I am used to, so hoping it is a family recipe, it was so good and served with crisp pita chips that were delicious on their own. Chicken Kabob - perfect according to my daughter. Baklava - oh my, flakey and crisp and not overly sweet, loved, loved, loved it. Sauces - they included a host of different sauces and for us to try, from sweet to go with baklava to spicy Buffalo mango to tzatziki yogurt sauce. To me these just were not a flavorful as I like, but then again, the food was so good I did not need it. It was a very minor thing. Cannot wait to go back to try a few other things on the menu, as they have multiple vegetarian choices I am sure my wife would like to try a few more too and this is a solid choice for middle eastern food. read more

Amazing service and amazing food. You can tell they really care and are willing to make your experience wonderful!

Kefta kabob ground beef with amazing spices. The grilled veggies fresh generous cuts. White rice. Pita Tzaziki. Perfect balance very large portions. Everyone knows your name personal service!!! Has a diner flare but also like your home kitchen. Just go try new foods and meet new friends read more

You won't find better service at any restaurant in Jax. The food is absolutely amazing as well. Definitely a regular spot for me now.

You feel like family as soon as you step into this restaurant! We were very limited in time, and I am gluten free, and the food is excellent!!! We had a trio of the stews with rice, and my husband enjoyed the pita bread too. If you like food made with LOVE then you must try this place! read more

Fast Eddy's is always amazing every single time we go in. Wiam & Raed treat us and everyone that walks in like they are family, they always ask us for our names and even asked for our 2 year old son's name so they can refer to everyone by name. So incredibly personable and welcoming. The food is always very flavorful, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. I can't recommend this place enough!!! read more

I love this place and Eddy!! Grunge music from the 90s, cold beer, cool/friendly staff, and most of all super tasty food.

Just amazing. We go at least once a month, and all I can say is we eat a meal, and order takeout. I eat myself sick (the portions are enormous) have leftovers and order another meal. read more

Don't get me wrong, the food here was delicious, but the amazing hospitality and warm vibes is what I remember most and what will make me return! I opted for the falafel sandwich all the way with onion rings. The onion rings were perfect...warm, flavorful batter, crunchy. The sandwich was tasty as well, I would probably say slightly expensive with all the sauces though. I will definitely return to try more of the delicious food this place offers up! read more

OK. Flavor explosion. What a fantastic surprise. Chicken curry was perfect. Beef tikka was outstanding- very tender beef! Fatoush salad was too vinegary for my taste but thats really not a complaint. Thats me. Raed is one of the owners and just a trip. Booming voice/humerous and super nice. He picked right up on my wifes lactose intolerance and carefully guided her menu choice. We are stuffed. You will not go away hungry. The restaurant plays soungarden/Pearl Jam.... If you're not into that, get the food to go! It was an experience and a thorough joy. Cant fail ro mention that they truly do treat every customer like family. They really do. Wonderful! read more

Writing this review as we are finishing our meal - it's that good! We ordered the kids chicken tenders and fries for our daughter but with her diary allergy they offered to grill the chicken breast! So accommodating. The beef tikka skewer was so tender juicy and delicious, I wish I had a photo but I ate it too quick! The Hammurabi burrito was an explosion of flavor & the timen asfur was delicious !! The best part was the overall ambiance of everyone who works here. So welcoming, kind, personable - amazing!
