    Steak pitas all the way (peppers, onions, cheese and mayo) and fries
    Ashley U.

    I love this place end of story. It's a small restaurant chain but is s good. They serve steak pitas,burgers and cherry limeade. Stopped in because it's been years since I've eaten here and it doesn't disappoint. Moderately busy and everyone who works here is friendly.

    I truly enjoyed the food here. The fries are a 10/10. I had…read morechicken tenders and one was hot and another one was cold, not sure if these are hot held or not. But that is the only turn off. The breading was good and i loved their pink sauce. Service was fast and the staff was very friendly and patient when explaining the concept as it was my first time here. I loves the ambiance and the decor! It gave very much street vibes and i loved it!

I believe this location may be cursed. pollo Tropical had a great product at greta pricing, but they couldn't manage staff well. This building is a redesigned Pollo Tropical. The decor is trendy and utilitarian and the space was clean. Employees were friendly and professional. Our food was ready on time and was hot. the French fries were crispy and very heavily seasoned. The real travesty here is the chicken. Form the very first bite I had a mouth of dry spices, with the gritty texture to go alone with it. The taste of cumin is so overwhelming that it is making me gag and I use cumin regularly in cooking. I don't get it. Quite literally the worst chicken I have ever had. Like eating chicken that someone dropped in the garden and just shook off. Truly awful. Sorry, Dave's, but what we got was a joke right? I just wanted to add that I did try to reach out to Dave's. If you call the restaurant, it won't let you talk to anyone there and instead you get a message that recommends sending a message through their website. So that's what I did. Days later, and I still have no response from the incompetent leadership at Dave's Hot Chicken. I would very much like to speak to someone that is either an area or corporate leader. How do I reach them since I'm having to file a Better Business Bureau complaint and a chargeback with my credit card just from this experience where apparently you don't give a damn about your customers. Congratulations on the cursed location. Out of all the bad experiences we had at Pollo Tropical, none were this bad and clearly this location is operating without any training or leadership.

Amazingly, we did manage to find a table for our group however. The food wasn't quite as good as I remembered this time. In particular, the spaghetti was weak: maybe not enough sauce and hot dogs in it. Perhaps I didn't like the chicken as much either: the crust is really good, but my wife's gravy the other day was a lot better. I did love the biscuit with honey, though we had to request the honey, and they no longer have butter for the biscuits. The peach mango pie was good as usual this time, though it's possible I liked the biscuits and honey even more (though my wife didn't like them like I do). My wife told me to ask for a plate, and I got one, so we learned something useful for the future. They did forget the pie for our order, but gave us one no problem when I went up and asked for it. My wife reports that the ladies' room faucet no longer slashes all over the place. However both bathrooms still serve only one person at a time. Install some stalls! There was a wait for the men's bathroom. I didn't manage to get any loyalty points for this visit: I couldn't find a 23-digit code to enter on the web site. It wasn't on the receipt; I read that it's on a small slip of paper printed after your receipt, but I don't believe we got one. Next time I'll have to order from the web or app, provide my phone number when I order, or scan the QR code in the app at the register to make sure I get points.

The Double Bacon Deluxe didn't just show up... it sat there like a leather-bound encyclopedia of bad decisions and good intentions. Two beef patties, bacon stacked with the confidence of a Vegas magician, cheese melting like it had absolutely nowhere else to be, and a bun somehow keeping the whole operation together like an underpaid middle manager. I took one bite and briefly forgot my social security number. The cheese curds? Absolutely unhinged. I pulled one apart and the cheese stretched so far I'm pretty sure it was trying to establish a long-distance relationship with my soul. Crispy on the outside, molten dairy sorcery on the inside. By the third curd, we were emotionally invested in each other. Then the custard entered the arena. Smooth. Cold. Dangerous. One spoonful and I started forgiving people from my past. Would I come back? I'm literally writing this from the parking lot, planning Round 3. Recommended for: hungry people, questionable decision-makers, and anyone seeking dairy-based emotional support with a side of beef-induced enlightenment.

Love Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food and Fast Eddy's popped up on Yelp and was just around the corner. Restaurant has just a few tables as well as a counter area. So very glad we found this restaurant! William is the owner and his son Will waited on us - both so friendly, helpful and personable! The menu is awesome - a great selection of appetizers, salads, soups/stews, sandwiches and main dishes - many Middle Eastern choices and a few American bites as well. My favorite thing was that dishes and menu sections are named after various family members - William's mom, dad and siblings. We started with the hummus and pita chip appetizer - so yummy! Hubs and I eat hummus everywhere we go, and this rivaled some of the best! Amazing flavor, creamy with just the right amount of olive oil, garlic and paprika. I had the falafel wrap with a side salad - really good! Hugs had the fattoush salad followed by chicken tikka kebab with grilled mixed veggies - he loved it and shared a few tastes with me - delicious! The veggies and meat were seasoned with the family's own spice mix and it's amazing! We can't wait to come back soon!

    Far and away the best sandwich experience I've had in years! I can't even remember when the last…read moretime I've had a sandwich in a restaurant this good! All I can say is, when you go to Fast Eddy's Quick Mideast, get the Derby Fillies sandwich! And I hereby order my readers to GO!! There are good reasons why this awesome Mediterranean cuisine outlet is as close to 5-star as you can get! First, I really like the uniqueness of this ma and pa shop. It's been here at this location now for around four years and seems to have built a nice clientele, but always welcoming of more! The wall decor is filled with pictures of Rock n Roll heroes past and present. And, yes, you will get to have your ears filled with the songs of many of these artists while you eat. I sat at the Ozzy and Randy Rhodes table and I can't say how I feel about that company! The servers were extremely courteous. Reza and Victoria were just outstanding from beginning to the end of our eating experience. I'm very grateful for their looking after us and answering our questions. Looking around at how they treated and dealt with other customers, my feeling is that this is how they treat customers consistently who visit Fast Eddy's. Both of us chose Reza's recommendations. My Derby Fillies might seems like a normal sandwich (sub type) with chicken, peppers, onions, mushrooms, American cheese on a hoagie roll. However, the way it's grilled in their "Babylonian sauce," really seals the deal on this sandwich. The sauce really blends well with this hot sandwich and you'll be thrilled you chose it! Even better yet, it is a large sandwich, so I had the other half on the next day - just as good as the first! My dearest ordered the Hammurabi burrito. This was another stellar choice as recommended by Reza once again. This sandwich is one of creativity, more than basic like the Derby. It comes on a flour tortilla with pickles, sumac onions, biryani rice, French fries, Amba sauce, chicken, along with garlic spread. Goodness I don't know a few of the items on this burrito! But it also blended excellently together and the pickles made it a treat! I got to eat from it two days in a row and it was just as good as the first day on the second! For sides, I had Mac and cheese. Yes, it was a solid Mac and cheese with some pepper in it. Our other side was the roasted vegetables. These are awesome! Both of the sides were delightful and easily shared between both of us. For dessert, we did try their homemade baklava. Well, when I tried it I knew it was unlike any baklava I've ever eaten. I knew it had to be made in-house and was a special recipe created in-shop. I was right on both counts! It was the best I've ever eaten. If you love baklava, you won't be disappointed here! Fast Eddy's is truly a superior restaurant and is now in my top five list of JAX favorites! There is good booth seating here and carry-out is available. Besides sandwiches, you'll also find soups, stews, salad options, street tacos, new world American food options, specialty choices (including spicy chicken curry, Nada's Arabic Macaroni, among others), kabobs, and more! The hard rock will play as you eat. It was loud when we came in for a while, but to their credit, they did lower the volume around the middle of our time there. Make a visit! This is a can't miss restaurant! Recommend: HIGHEST

The mango drink was way too sweet-got thrown out. Now, the fries and the shrimp were good. I do know they are fairly new and I hope they are successful, in time. But, they have to kick it up a notch. The young man was very nice to me. But, looking through the drive through window, I thought he was going to kill the other employee. He was yelling and waving his hands around and so frightfully scary to me! I did see them putting together a huge platter in a tin dish and it looked good. Don't let my review influence you in any way. Give them a chance and check them out. Pros-shrimp and fries were good. Drive through convenience. Price. Cons-the man's anger The tiny tenders and flavorless Onion rings-NO GO. Banana pudding had no bananas that I could see. I will revisit them sometime in the future to see if things improve. Hoping so. Then I will hope to give more stars and an updated review. Recommend-maybe
