Locals love this place and it is usually very busy. The food is good but the prices are CHEAP! I really like the outdoor area. It has heaters for cold weather and a section with a plastic wall for rainy days. Music is loud and you better get there early if you want a table to hang at.

Fast Eddies is a great place to be with friends or just a couple. Food is great!! Favorite is the cheeseburger and of course the shrimp. Prices are cheap!!! Drinks are cold!!! Waitress staff is great!!! We love the outside atmosphere the best, even in the winter with heaters.

Took my daughter and friend for their birthday outings - first time for both of them. The could not believe how much food they ordered for so little money. Then when their orders came up, they were even more surprised by how good it was. The patio expansion with the live music is also a must do! I only wish... More

Fast Eddies is a great place to enjoy good cheap food & cold drinks. The "Big Elwood" is a delicious beef tenderloin & green pepper kabob.... The "Chick on a Stick" is grilled seasoned drumies & flats on a stick. Or you can sink your teeth into a 99 cent half pound "Fast Eddies Burger".... add a big order of... More

Hole in the wall bar that is the greatest bargain short of going to a Salvation Army soup kitchen. When you walk into this huge bar, there is a food line that you walk down to order a half pound burger, only cooked med well, for 99 cents, a basket of fries for 99 cents, boiled shrimp for 29 cents...

They are always trying to make this place sound special. Its not, and the owner is a jerk. You can buy beer anywhere, so don't waste your time here. Only reason to rate higher is the cheap food.
