| - We've been to Eddie N Eddie twice now, and have been impressed. The first time, we went for dinner, and the second was to meet friends for dessert & drinks. I had the fried chicken, which was terrific - a close second to Market Garden's fried chicken. The sweet glaze on the chicken went perfectly with the breading. My girlfriend had the ground chicken "pepper pollo burger" and she was very happy with it. The parmesan cheese + aioli was a great combination with the chicken.
When we met up for dessert and drinks, the pecan pie stole the show. Best pecan pie we've ever eaten. Their logo should say "Burgers - Bourbon - Pecan Pie" and not apple pie. And the accompanying vanilla bean ice cream was delicious.
Now, the drinks. I am a huge bourbon fan, and I love the full-page bourbon menu (as well as the rest of the drink menu). There's something for all budgets on there. However, I was not aware that there is a $2 upcharge for rocks. Really? This is Lakewood, not New York. It was later explained to me as a charge for a larger pour, but I didn't catch any fine print in the drink menu explaining the situation, and as a result my $7 Basil Hayden became $9 just because I asked for an ice cube. I'm not aware of any other bar in Cleveland that does this, but who knows. It's only a couple bucks and you get a nice XL ice cube that melts slowly, so it's not a dealbreaker or anything.
That said, we'll be back. My friends raved about the burgers and sweet potato croquettes, and I definitely want to try the pickle & pastrami appetizer. And the chicken pot pie specials sound amazing.
