Checkers fans, real fans.
Rob G.

Shame! Shame! SHAME!!! You say you support the Checkers Hockey, then turn away checkers fans when they have the audacity to want to watch the game. You could not turn 1 tv to the game? Not one? You tell us "no we are not playing the checkers game today, even though you are sitting at a table under one small TV. You flat out refuse. Well Ed, I am disappointed in you. Your true north is showing.

Met up with a huge group for dinner before loading up for a party boat event. I got the boom boom shrimp fried with side of sweet potato fries. Both were delish. The shrimp were big and meaty and the fries were crispy perfection.

Mimosa tower was a hit!

Food was great and waitress prompt! Atmosphere was a mixture of sports bar meets old world. Loved the mimosa tower!

Breakfast Burger with Sweet Potato Fries
James S.

The Galway Hooker may be gone but the large patio remains. TVs, drinks, pub food - it's here. On a Friday evening the patio was a good spot for several families while inside people were watching football and baseball while enjoying their beverages. Typical sports bar food with burgers, wings, sandwiches, and some entrees.The Pimp burger was solid though the pimento cheese, bacon, and onion ring was a not quite to my liking. I may need to check out the inside during a game but if you're looking for a patio where you can enjoy a meal or a beverage stop by Ed's.

Half a French Dip for the price of one.

Tried again. Bad to worse. Horrible horrible service. Waiting waiting waiting. Horrible attitude. HORRIBLE service. Party of 3. All out of drinks, ready to order. Finally stops by. TAKES TWO GUYS ORDER AND THEN LEAVES. The other guy then put $20 on the table to cover part of apps and a beer and left.

This is the old Galway Hooker location, and they opened in probably early December. Still feels with Galway Hooker minus the Irish Fishing Boat suspended from the ceiling. Over the years, we went to Galway Hooker many times including reserving the upstairs room for my wife's 50th Birthday but in the end, it was getting a little dated. The original Ed's Tavern is in Dilworth (Charlotte neighborhood) and it is still there. Consistently get great reviews although I will admit, I have not had a chance to try it. Suggested this place for lunch on Friday but my wife wanted to go to Midtown Sundries in Denver instead but suggested we go on Saturday. We got there around 11:30am and it is very much like the old Galway Hooker. It was a cold (27F) day and we were seated at a high top by the fireplace. As I remember, Galway was not very pleasant in the winter because of so much glass and the place was always cold Still the same. Very cold and even the servers were wearing coats. Pretty good menu with an extensive list of appetizers and burgers. My wife asked about a Chocolate Martini, and they did not have the ingredients for it but someone in the bar suggested a work around of Vanilla Vodka with Bailey's. My wife tried it and loved it and even asked for a second glass which for her is unusual. For her lunch, she ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Rolls (think of a Spring Roll cut diagonally) and Mac and Cheese. Again, she loved it. Being such a cold day, I asked how spicy the Chili was. Our server did not know and said since she had had very few comments on the Chili, she assumed it was probably not very spicy. She did add that they could always "kick it up a notch" and add Jalapeños to it. I ordered that along with a Grilled Cheese Sandwich which was offered as an accompanist on the menu. The Chili with the added Jalapenos was a hit and very good. A lot of room for improvement on the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. In general, the food was good, ambience needed work and the most. outstanding thing about the restaurant is the service. Staff bent over backwards to meet our needs. If they did not have something, they found creative work arounds like my wife's drink and adding Jalapeños to the Chili. This attention to the customers' needs goes a long way.

My friend's Nashville hot chicken breast sandwich with cucumbers as her side
Andi M.

3.5 stars, rounding up. I tried Ed's Tavern one afternoon for lunch with some friends. The interior is much brighter than Galway Hooker, but it has also lost some of its charm. The owners did keep the fireplace, as well as the stained glass on the doors heading out to the patio, however. It was kind of dead inside, with just a few other tables filled. I'm not much of a bar food person, but I was impressed with the food from Ed's. (I've never been to their Charlotte location.) They offer their full menu, plus two daily $10 specials for lunch. We started with an order of onion rings for the table, which were crispy and very good. I had the ham and cheese lunch special (with my choice of pimento cheese) and a cup of their daily soup, the tomato bisque. Chili is also an option, if you prefer. The ham and cheese sandwich was nicely grilled and buttery. Their pimento cheese was especially good. It was primarily cream cheese-based--rather than mayonnaise--and was nicely warmed. The ham was also not the usual deli ham. It was sliced from a ham, so the pieces were thicker but yet very tender. The soup was rich, creamy, and delicious. One friend also got the ham and cheese special, and another got the Nashville hot chicken breast sandwich with a side of cucumbers. Another got the other daily special, the Peruvian chicken (tender) bake. Everyone enjoyed their food. Our server was attentive, but it did take longer than expected to get our meals, so the kitchen might have been understaffed. That was a little surprising, given how few tables were filled. Regardless, we enjoyed our lunch, and I'll likely return. Lunch is an especially good deal, especially if you get one of their specials.

Chicken tenders and sweet potato fries
Emilee W.

Date Night Go To!! We loved this place the food was awesome. Fried pickles were crispy and came with homemade ranch. Chicken tenders seemed homemade, hand breaded, and seasoned perfectly. Sweet potato fries had good crunch. We started out inside but the music was too loud so we asked to be moved outside. We know its a bar but it seems more of a social place to meet friends and family. I believe the volume of the music for sure could have been less. It has a nice outdoor seating area so if it is warm enough sitting outside is the way to go.

Wonderful place to grab breakfast! This morning I had my first experience at Cocotte. Our order was…read morethe Saint Germaine sandwich, the breakfast croissant, and two drip coffees. The sandwich was spectacular on a wonderful crusty baguette. It wasn't heated up and made fresh about two hours before I came in most likely, so it wasn't soggy as others mentioned. It was wonderful. The flavor was very savory. My grandmother was very pleased with her breakfast sandwich! Big, flaky croissant with fluffy eggs! The coffee was not weak and I enjoyed it. Creamer was offered as a self-serve from a pitcher. It certainly felt better than opening 9 creamer cups between two people. Free water was offered at the end of the line, too. So, no waiting for a refill. I also got two pastries to go-- both were spectacular. Sweet in a savory and memorable way, rather than being over-the-top and masking fake-y ingredients with sugar like many places do. The bakers do a wonderful job. Despite the crowd and line, the employees moved quickly and kindly. Pleasantries were still exchanged and things made-to-order were out in a timely manner. The people here work very hard. It's a hectic job but they do it well and they do it without sacrificing small niceties or helpfulness. The interior was nice, too. Tables were kept clean and there was a nice area for little ones to occupy themselves while parents enjoyed their drink and meal. Books, some plushies, and pretend-play toys were there. No tablets or items that could make them hyper. I very much enjoyed my experience after a hard night and morning. Thank you to everyone that works at Cocotte for showing up and staying kind. With tip, for two people you can expect to spend around $35. Not a terrible price for a great brunch experience with great environment + people. I recommend 100%. Though, maybe come early in the morning while everything is fresh. Others have different experiences late in the day it sounds like.

I actually went in to buy a Napoleon but there weren't any. I was told they don't make them all the time. I purchased a chocolate eclair instead. Very fresh and quite large. I'd like to try the food next time I visit. Everything looked delicious from other customers in the cafe.

Find another case with a variety of steaks ready to be cut - ribeye and NY strip were just a few examples. The cases have oils and spices to enhance your cooking. At lunchtime on Saturday there was a line to order sandwiches but it moved pretty quickly. The meats, peppers, seasoning, and bread far surpass anything you'd get at a chain sub shop. Half a sandwich filled me up which meant I got to enjoy the rest for lunch the next day. Between cold cuts, paninis, and hot sandwiches there are a variety of sandwich options. Grab one of the tables inside or sit at a table on the sidewalk on a nice day and enjoy a great lunch at Ferrucci's.

My jaw hurts from chewing on the hard crusty bread from my sandwich…read more I decided to give this place another try after my lackluster first experience. Unfortunately, it fell short, again. None of the sandwiches I've tried have blown me away. Theyre not bad, but not memorable. Limited selection in the prepared foods counter. Service is okay. The people who take your order are friendly but the woman who checked me out kinda wasn't. For an Italian deli (and I'm Italian with high expectations) this is a no from me.

I've been a fan of NYBS's restaurant since they opened, and my husband and I would visit at least…read moreonce a month for dinner.  Unfortunately, after a few recent bad experiences, we won't be returning.   My biggest issues recently have been - * Excessive salt on the Salmon BLT sandwich and meatballs - formerly, two of our favorite dishes * Smoked salmon fonduta - heating smoked salmon made this a fishy, unpalatable appetizer * Hamburger overcooked and dry, even with the added (very thinly sliced) cheddar cheese * Soggy fries * Crabcake aioli too sweet * Not enough servers to handle the demand in the restaurant, and we've noticed some turnover, too   I appreciate that NYBS offers reasonably priced specials and beverages, but their food quality has declined significantly since we first started eating there.  The only things we still enjoy are the steak flight, wings, and gouda and bacon macaroni and cheese.  It pains me to say this, but we are done. The decline in food quality and inattentive service have removed this restaurant from our rotation.

They're PACKED on Wednesday nights because it's wine night so if you're coming for just food I would avoid Wednesdays. Their servers are all so friendly and great at making recommendations. I've liked everything I've ordered here except for Salmon -- so I would just stick to steak in the future. Even their coleslaw is amazing! We've come several times and have always been pleased. Prices are great, it's nice to be able to go somewhere for a nice steak but it's still in a casual environment.

The workers are very friendly and very attentive to what we needed. If I needed something, I did not have to wait for a long period of time for them to bring it to the table which I greatly appreciated. I ordered two fish tacos, which came with a side of black beans as well as the crab hush puppies. All of the food was very good and fresh! The fish tacos were very, very big and I liked the coleslaw and sauce that was on the top. It added a nice texture to the tacos. The fish was very crispy and it was well balanced throughout the taco. I only finished one of the tacos while I was there because they were that big! The black beans tasted like they had some type of neckbones or something smoky in it, but there was no meat in them at all. Delicioso!! My only gripe is that the side of black beans was very small. Nonetheless, it is something that I would go back for. The crab hush puppies were very good. The hush puppies were not dry, but they were moist and the crab melted in very nicely with the hush puppy mixture. I ordered eight and I promise you that I could eat a whole 12 or 16 of them by myself lol My guest ordered a patio margarita which was about seven dollars and said it was good and boozy. The drinks are standard pricing ranging from about $6-18. Overall, I'm very pleased that I finally tried this place.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Such unprofessional management…read more I ordered a cocktail which tasted sour and downright awful... After telling the manager I didnt want it fixed nor want a replacement - they still charged me for it! Wouldn't take it off the bill! I took one sip! Horrendous.
