Still good, but not the same
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This was my third visit to an Eds, having been to this one previously as well as the defunct Milwaukee location. The food, especially items from the ice cream fountain, is always good (and was good this time, too), but the sassy service was what made Eds unique. Sassy is the key here, and is not equivalent to poorthe service itself has never been short of outstanding, but its always been accompanied with a good helping of attitude. That attitude was indeed toned-down in my most recent visit (something I didnt know until afterwards, reading this sites editorial review), and the overall experience, while good, was not as enjoyable as the others were. Without the attitude, Eds is just another good-for-groups-and-kids nostalgia-themed restaurant. BORING. Ask for the sass if you want it, like I do. Then, as Ed says, EAT AND GET OUT!

Pros: ice cream fountain, service

Cons: long waits

Editor's Review

Sassy, singing-and-dancing waiters serve up burgers, shakes and fries to an oldies soundtrack.  See the full editorial review.
