This was our second visit to Big Eddy’s, the first was a few years ago, we met my sister( who lived in Thompson Falls at the time) for lunch. Great food then even better food this time. They have a great menu and a friendly...staff. Excellent service in a cozy dining room, right above the lake. If you’re ever in the area it should be on your list for lunch or dinner, you will love it!More

For some reason, the area below beside the river was closed so we ate at one of the 7 tables inside. Staff was very friendly and helpful but the food was average at best. Really a small place with little personality.

Had some dinner and drinks. Food was alright. Menu has shrunk since last time we were there. A lot of bar food. Hotdogs, burgers, kid foods. The bill was really pricey for what we got. The atmosphere and view is nice.

Not many choices in Thompson Falls, but this spot is interesting and fun. The menu is not extensive but what they have is good. Nice setting and good service round out a decent overall experience. It can be a little warm inside so dine outside...and enjoy the view.More

We normally have bar seating (which the state won't allow us to sit people) and a small inside dining room - but with COVID and good weather we have kept most seating outside. We have deck heaters for cooler evenings. Our food includes homemade green...More

Not a whole lot of choices in this town. Fortunately, Big Eddy’s checks most of the boxes. Nice outdoor patio out back overlooking the river. Decent draft beer selection, with a manageable concise menu with something for everyone. Burgers are filling, hot dogs a little...skimpy, staff efficient. Great place to end the day.More

We were fortunate to stop on a beautiful day with warm temperatures. The outside seating was comfortable with nice views, and the service was attentive and friendly. We both had hot dogs - one with green chili, the other with nacho cheese; both were very,...very good. The shoestring fries were crisp and hot. Overall a great stop for lunch!More

We picked it because it seemed to be one of the few places open. The food was okay. Don't get the roast beef sandwich dip or their "chicken pots"! Stick with the quesadillas or a basic hamburger.More

We are happy we could be open to serve you, when most other restaurants have closed due to lack of staff or they simply couldn't stay open after being forced to close for two months. True, with COVID we have cut back on menu options....More

We were at Big Eddy's in 2015 on the way home from a trip. On a whim we decided to stop at here for lunch which was fabulous! So it should not come as a surprise that we came back again this year, during our...weekend stay in Thompson Falls. Last time I had the Black & Bleu sandwich which is the best Black & Bleu I've ever had, but this time I decided to branch out and try something new so I had the Dijon Mustard Chicken and it was to die for delicious! Tender meat, delectable sauce; I'm telling you, you just can't get a lousy meal here.More

Service was great but the steak was very tough & full of fat, gross. It was supposed to be a NY stripe but was fattier then a ribeye & so tough you could have beaten someone to death with it.
