Ah Eddie's, The old reliable where the other half and I go for our "usual". For me, chicken fillet burger, regular coke and fries. For him, Chicken tenders, cajun sauce, chili fries and regular coke. Usually with the brownie and vanilla ice- cream for dessert. ;) I love Eddies secret sauce on the chicken fillet burger (I think I an figure out what's in it) No complaints on their food. At least it fills you up and you're eating real chicken!
This is our cheeky treat every now then. Too much now and less then really! Yep, Eddies is pretty consistant in each diner we've been in. Set up like a 1950's diner, it seems to have improved an awful lot in recent years, with a better selection on the menu and even better deals. The shake shop has attracted more young ones in with their selection of, well, anything you want in a shake really.
I did attempt a Ferrero Rocher one not too long ago. Not bad, but I'll stick to my usual ;)
The only thing, and I've said it before in other reviews, is customer service.
Not only in this particular diner, but in several across Dublin that we've been in, there has been members of staff that not only neglect their customers (waiting around to be asked if we want dessert then going up to the counter after 20 mins or so to ask for it is NOT good customer service!)
We have also encountered a flat out rude staff member who doesn't say one word the whole time in getting our order. Not "hello", "What would you like?" ,"Thanks", "Kiss my ass" - Nothing! She looks so miserable at her job always! (I'm looking at you Eddies in Blackrock!) After several visits there, we have decided never to go back purely because of poor customer treatment so we stick to Stillorgan now.
It's a fine place to dine just need more attentive polite staff thanks!
*Ok, thought I'd update this. Since I last wrote this revue, we have switched back to the Blackrock branch. The very mean, rude waitress seems to be gone and it's much quieter than the Stillorgan one, as it seems to attracts a load of screaming young ones. Hey, I like to eat in peace and even hear the person sitting opposite me with shouting above the screaming girls. ;) Customer service has picked up too! read more
