Too busy to serve me

I paid $4 for 4 mass produced onion rings. Burgers are okay. Completely understaffed so the service was almost nonexistent. The system of order food at the counter, order drinks at the table only works if there is actually wait staff to take your order and bring your check. Would absolutely not recommend.

Decent burger, fries were really good and beer selection was better than expected. Very unique having counter service food and table service drinks. Place was busy, obviously its popular with the locals.

Everyone raves about this place as being the best food in Metropolis. Me and my other half thought it sucked. She ordered a chicken kabob lunch. It came with NOTHING. No lettuce, tomato, onion, tsaziki sauce, rice, a pita... NOTHING. Thank God she ordered a side of fries. According to her it was tasteless and spice less, at way too high of a price. I ordered a burger and cheese fries. The burger came plain because they have their own toppings stations. The burger was tasteless, needed spice and should have been better made. The cheese fries were nothing more than a handful of shredded cheddar dropped in hit fries. The fries were soggy and once the cheese actually melted it made it worse with the grease. This was also overpriced. Don't waste your time. Metropolis needs to come into the current age with good quality restaurants and something to draw the tourists.

Came for lunch. BBQ chicken sandwich is chicken prepared on the grill then slathered with BBQ sauce... Bourbon chicken is done the same way, with a different sauce.Not sure why the place got so many rave reviews. Perhaps in the evening the bar helps food taste better.

Stopped in on Eclipse day for some shrimps! Walk in, pick your choosing and order up. Once you've ordered, have a seat order your drink and wait for your number to be called. Shrimp is amazing.....They did not disappoint. Fresh, delicious and with every cent. The buffalo chicken dip and corn nuggets were all very tasty. Drink service is a little slow but overall worth the drive.

It's been a bit since I've been here. I was glad to see that some menu changes have occurred, including bringing some old things back and adding a few new things. The food was great! I had an off day with my server. We never got a refill and waited more than 30-min after being finished eating for her to cash us out. I eventually had to go to the bar to do it.

Another road trip dinner spot. Once again, I referred to Yelp and this place hit all the marks. With the eclipse being in this area tomorrow, it was a lot busier for this time of year. Edd's was busy and loud, but things went pretty fast. The only issues is people aren't prepared when they go up to order, even though you have plenty of time to look o er the menu while waiting to place your order. I ordered dinner at the counter while he grabbed us a table. He was able to order these delicious cocktails, a specialty for the Eclipse and they were only $6.25. For dinner we had an order of 6 pieces of peel and eat shrimp, house salad and the steak and Bleu salad. They hand you the chilled shrimp right after you order, so we thoroughly enjoyed them while waiting for the salads. Even though the place was busy, we got our salads fairly quickly. The house sale had lots of tender greens, a hard boiled egg, chopped tomatoes and red onions, sliced cucumbers, shredded cheddar cheese, and thin crispy potato sticks. The steak salad also had lots of the same greens, crumbled blue cheese, thinly chopped steak, sautéed mushrooms and onions. The prices are extremely reasonable and the staff are extremely freshly and courteous.
