Fat Edd's Roadhouse

This restaurant has a lot of similarities to Fast Eddie's in Alton, IL. It's great overall, but it lacks live bands. They could start having them in the evenings. Next time I'm driving down I-24, I'll definitely be making a pit stop here.

Wonderful atmosphere. We ordered when we arrived. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. After we sat down you order your drinks separately. I had the fish taco. Had big portions of fish and slaw. The onion rings were a bit overcooked. I would definitely recommend.

Great atmosphere. Really good food. And very reasonable. It's was a Sunday noon crowd. When we got in line they were yelling for order number 15. In less than an hour we were done and leaving. They were yelling out for number 87 to pick up their food!!! Super service! Enjoyed our meal. Ver carta

Easy to find. You Order food pay. Find seat. Order drinks and wait for order number to be called out. Pay for drinks at table. Our waitress was very nice, informative and attentive. We got 1/2 lb burger, fish tacos, loaded fries and 6 peel and eat shrimp for $24. It was all good. Two (large) drinks were $4.50. Alot of food for your money. Loved the exposed brick and tin ceiling.

The food was delicious and served hot at this restaurant. The prices were fair and all items on the menu were Ala carte, including options for kids. Customers place their orders and pay at the counter, then wait for their number to be called to pick up their food. However, drinks are ordered separately at the table and paid for separately, which was the only aspect of the experience that the reviewer did not like.

I ordered the smash burger with bacon and no bun, along with a side of fries that reminded me of McDonald's. It was strange that they split the bill between the kitchen and wait staff. I paid for the food at the kitchen counter and was told that the wait staff would handle the drinks. This resulted in two separate bills, making it awkward to tip the waitress who only served my wife and I tea and water. My wife ended up getting the smash burger with slaw topping, and she gave me a bite which I really enjoyed. Despite the issue with the bill, I would give the experience a 5 and would definitely return if in the area again. Ver carta

This restaurant has a unique set up where you order food at the grill, pay there, then find a seat where a waitress sells you drinks. It's essentially a large bar with a grill, which may explain the set up. I initially considered getting a grilled chicken sandwich, but the counter staff recommended the pulled pork. Unfortunately, the pork was old, tough, and dry – the worst I've ever had. My wife had fish, which was okay, and onion rings, which were good. Our friends enjoyed their burgers. Service was lacking, our waitress never checked on us for drink refills. I doubt I would return, as the options in town seem limited. If you do go, I suggest avoiding the pulled pork.

Atmosphere It is a bar that serves food. We sat near the front at one of the large high top tables. The place was half full but most tables were covered with dirty plates and glasses.

I stumbled upon this restaurant while on a road trip and decided to give it a try based on its positive reviews on Yelp. Despite the upcoming eclipse drawing a larger crowd than usual, Edd's was bustling but efficient. One minor issue was that some customers seemed unprepared when ordering, despite having ample time to peruse the menu while waiting in line. I ordered dinner at the counter while my companion secured a table, and we indulged in some delicious Eclipse-themed cocktails for only $6.25 each. For our meal, we enjoyed 6 pieces of peel and eat shrimp, a house salad, and the steak and bleu salad. The chilled shrimp were served promptly after ordering, allowing us to savor them while w...
