| - After reading the reviews here and a few local papers claiming this as the #1 breakfast place, we decided to give it a shot. If this is the best Charlotte has to offer for breakfast out, we'll stay home.
They were very crowded, but we didn't have to wait long at all for our table. The waitress was attentive and friendly. I do agree with other reviewers who've said the decor could use some freshening but that's not a deal breaker for me.
What made us decide this is not a place we'd return to was the food itself. I ordered the chiabata french toast with bacon and grits, while he ordered the Italian Omelet Brunch Special (3 egg omelet with mushrooms, sausage, mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce) with hashbrown and cheese grits.
My bread was soggy in the middle, and the texture felt like the bread had soaked up too much egg and not been thoroughly cooked thru. The bacon was rubbery, and the grits were tasteless and seemed slightly undercooked.
His hash browns were soggy and greasy, while the omelet was watery and rather bland. His cheese grits suffered the same undercooked texture as my plain ones, and while they had an orangey color to them, had no cheese flavor at all.
We hold out hopes of finding a good breakfast place someday, but for us, Eddie's is just not it.
