| - The most impressed I've been with a restaurant in a long time.
I'd been looking forward to trying Eddie 'N Eddie ever since I heard of its opening over the summer. I am a HUGE fan of Pizzeria Cerino, and was very excited about this new place in Lakewood (because it's not too often that I'm in Seven Hills).
Plus, it's always important for me to find great, reliable restaurants that are not cookie-cutter chains, nor are they too upscale because we have kids. Eddie 'N Eddie strikes this balance excellently. Along with Deagan's (which I've been having problems with for a long time) and Jammy Buggars, this place is a good go-to for a weeknight or weekend late afternoon where you can feel not too self-conscious about your little ones, because the environment is loud. Plus, they have way above average food and good beer (and I guess bourbon, though I wouldn't know how to judge that).
We were there with our infant, 2-year-old, and another couple who also had an infant. They could not have been more accommodating. They put us in a corner with more than enough room but which was out of the way. This was great for two reasons: one, we didn't disturb other patrons. Two, we didn't feel as though we had to keep dodging servers walking by and worrying that the kids were going to get in the way.
Now for the food. I had a half roasted beet salad, which was great and very generous for a half-salad. A whole one could have definitely filled me up for dinner. We also tried the lettuce wraps, which were fine but would have been even better with some dipping sauce(s), as well as the cornbread -- served piping hot in a skillet, with orange marmalade and butter.
I couldn't NOT have the chicken pot pie, which was quite possibly the BEST pot pie ever! Flaky, buttery, soft crust, with huge chunks of white meat chicken, vegetables (not frozen peas and carrots, but real fresh veggies), and a delicious gravy that tasted unfamiliar, yet delicious. It wasn't that usual cornstarchy gravy you get in a pot pie.
My husband tried a chicken burger and it was great, and our friends got the Kentuckyaki burger and the E 'n E burger. They were both able to get a whole-wheat bun instead of a white one. Also, the sides include any number of delicious things, not just fries (although that is one side). I did the half salad (+3.5) for my side, my husband did the sweet potato croquettes, others had the Italian wedding soup. All amazing.
Anyway, the service was really outstanding. Our waitress' name was Teresa and she deserves props! I loved this place and will be making a habit of coming here. Not pretentious, but not a soulless chain restaurant.
