An overhyped eatery. The food is expensive and the service is poor at best. And let's not forget that the burgers are priced at $7.15, which comes with just the patty and bun. You, the customer, if desired, then add onions, pickles, and condiments from a poorly maintained kiosk to complete the American burger. read more

Definitely a step back to mid-century America. Where footlongs, burgers,fries and sodas reign supreme. The line was long but moved fairly swiftly. One item to take note of - is they accept cash only. There isn't any sign mentioning this until you are at the counter. There is both covered and patio dining. The food was good and the root beer great. read more

The ambiance is cute and fun, the food is mediocre. Burgers were a step above McDonald's and the fries were totally bland. I guess people like this place for the nostalgia. read more

Came to eddies every chance we got when in Geneva. Look so forward to it. Came this year, burgers were overpriced, not the same as the old burgers or I wouldn't care, but the burgers they are serving now are terrible. Girls at the counter could care less what u really wanted more interested in talking to each other. fries were good. the condiment table.......well lets just say....ewwww, flies, and needed attending too. BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD EDDIES!!! read more

Burgers exactly like when you were in school, terrible. I haven't been here in 30 years, I remember the food being way better. Or maybe I just liked school frozen burgers back then. to look at the gray frail patty was actually sad, I hyped the place up to my kids and they even thought they tasted like school food. This is not a good thing. The fries were ok. Service was fine, and the old time feel is good. Can't get past the food though. read more

The food and the service are always top-notch! Perfect for a quick bite while you're hanging out at the beach or the strip!! Patiently awaiting Summer getting here soon!! read more

I We used to love Eddies Grill until their prices went sky high and their food went downhill ... what a shame read more

Pleasantly surprised by my experience at Eddies. You order in front and pick up your food inside. CASH ONLY. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Everything is fairly priced and there is a parking lot across the street if you cannot find on street parking. We ordered the fish sandwich, sloppy joe, 6 inch hot dog and fries. There is a condiment bar inside right after you pick up your food. All of the food was really good and the temperature was great so we enjoyed sitting outside. There are restrooms in the back by the outdoor seating. If you have ever been to Sara's in Erie PA, Eddies is very similar to it. We will definitely be back! read more

We were told when in GOTL you have to eat at Eddie's. We stopped in for lunch on busy Saturday afternoon. We got an order of fries, root beer and hot dogs. All was very good just a little pricey for that type of food. I get it since it is the tourist hot spot but still. It is still everyone's tradition and must do read more

GAF (ghetto as F&$k) They were not busy as they were open tables everywhere I counted seven people behind the counter with one girl taking orders, and three girls resting with their hands on the counter. There was a line with people line, jumping because of the slow slow service. After five minutes of waiting in line, I simply walked away . If I were the owner of this place, I would fire every single person behind the counter for ignoring customers and letting customers walk away read more

Eddies grill has always been one of our favorite places at GOTL. After going there today we noticed a difference in their burgers. They are bland, thin and you could barely taste any meat. I wonder if they changed the recipe? read more

Timeless. The prices may have gone up but it remains the same. Crowded and busy with great food read more

Eddie's Grill - Cheeseburger and Footlong - American Near Me - Geneva, Ohio

it has great ambience, but that's the end of the line. The food is way overpriced, and the quantity of food is minimal. If you're going for the ambience, take a generous amount of cash with you. You will need it and then you will need to go to dinner to get some food. read more

I've been to Eddie's many times over the years. I ordered a footlong hotdog and was very disappointed in the quality of the food. The hotdog was all wrinkled and very dry. It looked like it had been sitting on a heat lamp for days. The hotdog was very thin and very little meat to it. The taste was very bland, along with the texture. Paid $7 for that lovely gem. read more

An institution on the strip! Boom since 1950 Eddie's been banging out the foot long coneys & burgers. Root beer etc etc. now listen I'm late to the party. I grew up in Fairview PA in the 70's and only discovered the strip last year so that is my frame of reference. Cash only. Not expensive. Great dogs, get the foot long chili dog it's better. Add onions from the service bar. Skip the mustard bc who cares. I actually like the burgs better! Blasted in the flat top they gots that old time diner taste to them. Like they served us at lake shore back in the day. Fun place staffed by the teeny boppers. Great food. It's an institution at GOTL get there at once. 5 stars it's great. Thanks eddies something to look fwd to when the sun shines. As of now sat-sun only open. In the summer I'm pretty sure Thur-sun. 5 stars. Go to the beach then GOTL brewery after. GOTL is pouring a new deck as we speak. Ready soon for outdoor day dranks. See u there! read more

Eddie's Grill - $6 or so good coney. Fun place! - American Near Me - Geneva, Ohio

We stopped for lunch. Hot dogs were good. Orders of fries are large. Their root beer is very good! Cash only.

Our family has been coming here for four generations and love it. Cheeseburger is a masterpiece and hot dogs are top notch. Prixea have gone up a bit over the past few years but all their costs have as well. A must visit in Geneva on the Lake. read more

We stopped by Eddie's Grill on a Saturday around 1pm with friends from Michigan. It was VERY hot and crowded that day, but the food was amazing! Parking was a little rough, but expected with GOTL. We managed to find street parking a block down. The line moves rather quick even with a large crowd. Both Andrew and I ordered the cheeseburger with fries and we split a large root beer. I would definitely put that burger in my top 3. It was so good we both wished it were bigger or they offered a double! After lunch, we headed across the street to hit up the arcade! We played games including air hockey, guitar hero, claw machines, and we even splurged on a pressed penny! The only downfall was our fries were somewhat on the bland side and the dining area was swarming with flies. It was a very hot and busy day, so it's understandable. Overall, we will definitely be back! read more

Great place to grab a bite while in Geneva on the Lake. A throw back to old school diners. They have a very simple menu but the good is delicious and the service was good as well. Once you place your order at the counter you are given a number and then wait to be called. All the condiments are over by the pick up area. I had a foot long chili dog. The hot dog was good and the chili was amazing. My only knock was the bun got soggy very fast. My wife had the hamburger and said I'd was fantastic but the fun to meat ration was off. She thought there was too much bun for the size of the burger. My son had the hot dog and ate the whole thing, which he normally doesn't. The fries were fantastic. Overall a great place and we will definitely be back. read more

Eddie's Grill - American Near Me - Geneva, Ohio

I mean, how do you come to GOTL and not eat at Eddie's? It's an icon, a staple. It's nostalgia. Well I'll tell you how, it's easy. We did it for 10 years. After coming to this area for a decade we finally ate at Eddie's Grill. So up above where I say "It's easy." Change that to "was easy" We'll probably eat here every time we come up. The food is great. Here's a couple of tips 1. They only take cash (a couple of places on the strip only take cash. I get it, it's nostalgia. That's not nostalgia, that's stupid) 2. If there are just two of you dining. Only get one order of fries. They're $5 a pop and you get a lot of fries. Save the extra $5 bucks- one order is plenty for two people. Can someone explain the all white to me? Why does Eddie make his employees where all white?? That's horrible to do to those teenagers. read more

Very poor experience here. We waited in line for about 20 minutes and then about another 45 once we ordered for a chili cheese dog and fries. Great outside seating options. However, the fries were cold and hot dog was under cooked. Not sure what happened here because the place seem to be a staple of GOL but very disappointed. Maybe they weren't expecting a crowd in a gorgeous sunny day? Also got the pizza a couple of windows down for the kid. About 20 minutes for a slice of pizza that wasn't cooked. So many cool places to eat at GOL but you see this place, the people, and think you must try it. Well, we did. It is scratched off the list and marked do not return. read more

This is a pretty neat restaurant. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. They were both delicious. I like all their toppings they have for self serve and the area was clean which was impressive with how many people were there. read more

We used to live this place. The vibe from the past was great and the food was decent. Last summer, they decided to start charging $5 to park even if you eat there. Now they are charging $10. Sorry, we won't be back with this kind of tax to eat and park there. There are better places to eat that cost less. Lose the fee for parking and we will come back but it's just too much now. read more

The atmosphere is awesome. Very classic feel. The food tasted great. My only real issue is the portions are pretty small so if you are very hungry, I would try elsewhere. read more

Absolutely excellent place inside and out. My family and I have been coming here since I was a kid and it's my favorite stop every summer. It's definitely a busy place that can be difficult to find seating but it's 100% worth it. Everyone is always so kind and it's a great atmosphere to enjoy great food in the summer. read more

Back to the 50's. Music theme all relates to the good old times of the 50's. All except price. A six inch hot dog going for $5.75. Cheeseburgers $6.85. These stand alone price include no sides or drinks. High price for nostalgia. Enough of this. This Eddie's is not family friendly for your budget. Eddies Grille continues to rely on nostalgia, but little else. read more

The food is excellent. It's a real piece of nostalgia. Takes you back very clean. We come every year multiple times cheeseburger and fries are the best. They also have great foot-long hotdogs. read more

This is my favorite place to get a burger!! No frills just a cheeseburger and fries. Served hot with the cheese melted. Add the Root Beer and you will be in heaven. Pickels, Onions, Sauerkraut. and Peppee rings are available to add on the condiment bar along with assorted sauces. Well worth the drive for a good burger!! read more

You just have to go there. It is a must for Geneva on the Lake. So much fun and takes you back in time. The food is great.

Not a fan anymore overpriced menu 40 bucks for 2 cheeseburgers and 2 small hotdogs and 4 drinks not to mention the cash only is annoying you want to charge more than 5 for a burger you need to accept a debit card won't be back. read more

There are at least three different signs advertising Eddie's grill as you head up the main road towards Geneva on the Lake. Additionally, we had it recommended to us by some locals. It seems like the place to go when you are in the area. We were skeptical. The menu is just your standard set of hot dogs, burgers, and fries. The line for the place was huge, though, so they must be doing something right. Right? They are. We got a foot long hot-dog with coney sauce and their specialty root beer and were extremely pleased. The coney sauce was mildly spiced, but had a very pleasant sweetness that was an excellent accompaniment to the crispy grilled hot dog. They are doing hot dogs right. This isn't a steamed Oscar-Meyer type of place. The Richardson's Root Beer has a sweet and smooth flavor that reminded me a lot of A&W. It was very refreshing on a hot day and would probably make for an excellent Root Beer Float. They have plenty of seating indoor and outside on a nice patio, but the place was packed. We ended up sharing our lunch on one of the benches around the patio. We were a little disappointed not to have a view of the lake, but the food was good, so not too many complaints. From what we could tell, there are not a lot of public bathrooms available on the strip, but Eddie's has one. They are small, but clean and well maintained. There is only one stall for women, so expect a line. My one big issue with the place is that the food order and pickup process is confusing and chaotic. You place your order at a tiny window inside, just past the pickup counter and then pickup and pay when they call your number. The flow is off. You shouldn't need to wade through the folks waiting to pickup food to get to the ordering line. I'd never been there and had to ask someone to figure out where the line was. While waiting in line, I felt like I was on top of the folks sitting down to eat their food and I felt bad for them. I also could barely hear the intercom system they use to call numbers. It is pretty easy to hear outside on the patio, but difficult near the pickup counter. They would benefit from some changes in their traffic flow and pickup process, but I doubt that is going to happen given how many years they've been doing it this way. read more

This review is for Eddie's arcade next door and specifically the golf cart rental. We had rented a golf cart for two hours and had a very pleasant experience. The attendant was pleasant, at 10:30 am on a Saturday there were lots of carts available and no problems with the cart we had. We returned the next Saturday since we had such a pleasant time. This time we called ahead to see if we could reserve a cart and were told yes. However when we got there, there we were told that there were no carts. Yet, there's a cart in the parking lot. We were not happy. So we left our cellphone number with the attendant in case something became available. About 10 minutes later we got a call back there were still no carts available but with an offer for $25 credit at the Arcade. This made my day. We were able to rent a golf cart somewhere else so all in all it turned out well. read more

Way overpriced for a cheeseburger and it's really not that great!! Would rather spend my money elsewhere.

Great Food but Very Expensive especially if your on limited income I would eat there more often but can't . I do wish You could get a Senior citizen discount or some kind of discount to afford it but the STAFF IS EXCELLENT and Very friendly and Great Service with lots of Ambiiance due to it's Always packed so plan on a little wait time and Lots of Patients but Well Worth IT !!!!! read more

Well, if you're wondering around Geneva on the lake, this certainly is a destination to be had. There's nothing spectacular about it other than its location and every day hotdog stand kind of food that I think it's just slightly over priced, but then again people are willing to pay it because of location location location.. was very impressed with how clean and well-maintained. The facilities were. Fact that they have an old time table top jukebox set up is really cool. read more

This is by far one of my favorite places on earth. So Nostalgic.. I grew up in the area and refuse to miss out on it when I'm in the area. A foot long chili dog from Eddies is a Northeast Ohio staple that simply can't be overlooked. Thanks for the memories! read more

Yes, I am a disgruntled "local". I know the entire family and like many, I worked here as a kid. I understand costs have increased. But you choose to charge for parking to come have an ok burger with an insanely increased price? This generation of Eddie's can only survive on the previous generations for so long. Very unfortunate..... read more

Had breakfast at Eddie's in Buellton this morning and it was awesome!! Cooked perfectly and served hot!! Nice staff and clean restaurant.

This type of diner is the love of my life. '50s music in really old jukeboxes, a menu painted on the wall with limited items (burgers, fries, soft drinks, shakes, hot dogs), and a community atmosphere. I didn't get anything to eat myself, because I'm dumb and "wasn't hungry" for like the first time in my entire life. But that didn't stop me from sampling my husband's foot-long hot dog and crispy fries. These fries were perfect - not too stringy, but not too fat that they get overwhelming and soggy. There's even a Dairy Queen built into Eddie's. A great one-stop shop. By the way, I have a hunch that they are only open on the weekends, because we got to the lake on Thursday evening, and they were closed then, as well as on Friday afternoon. The surrounding area was also dead. However: today when we did a little "tour" of Lake Street, it was hopping from around 11 am on. I can only imagine what it will be like tonight. I think they're only open through Labor Day weekend too, which sorta makes sense, but is also a shame! read more
