| - Oh Eddie..
It was a dark and stormy night. Seeking refuge from the hurricane, we ventured to Eddie 'N Eddie for the first time. When we arrived, I noticed the place had an overly forced rustic look, like trying a little too hard. there was a 20-25 minute wait, no biggie. (Though we did notice that they seemed to be slow at filling tables that were empty, even with quite a few people waiting to be seated.)
When we were seated, we were informed that due to the storm, they could not take credit card payments, but could direct us to the nearest ATM, or copy our card info down to charge us later. Why the heck didn't the hostess tell us that when we walked in? We would have used the wait time to go to the ATM! Luckily, we had enough cash on hand between the 3 of us!)
We got water right away, but had to wait for a while to get offered anything else to drink, and then waited again to put in our food order.
The food, when it finally arrived was great. I had the fried chicken, potato croquettes, and baked beans, all done perfectly. I also sampled the Jambalaya, (more like gumbo really, but tasty!) and Brussels sprouts - could have used seasoning, but good. (These my friend got substituted without notice when the veggie of the day was sold out, though they were nice enough to replace it when she said she didn't want that as the replacement.)
After another long wait, our server finally came back to clear our plates and bring take home boxes. And after another wait, she asked about dessert.
The apple pie was great. (Loved the dried cranberries added in!)
Overall, the food was worth a trip in for take out, but I certainly won't be going back again.
