While staying in Sylvan Beach we decided to hit up Eddie's as the menu looked like it had something for everyone. The decor is very dinerish. Our waiter Noah had a great personality and was exceptional. They pride ourselves on Italian food and unfortunately this is where the restaurant falls short. My dad ordered basic spaghetti and meatballs and it left a lot to be desired. I ordered the gnocchi marinara and while the marinara was good the gnocchi were definitely overcooked. Everyone else in our party ordered typical diner food and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend hitting Eddies up if in the area but stick to the basic burgers and sandwiches. read more

Diner style dining in Sylvan Beach. Having been around for 85 years stepping into eddies is like stepping back in time, in a good way. It's got an old timer feel inside but is clean. The menu is fairly extensive with mostly comfort food. I ordered the fish fry as that was the special being Friday and all. When it came out it was absolutely huge and quite good, probably among the best I've had. The fries that came with it were the basic crinkle cut. Pricing was decent and the service was friendly and competent. In all a good experience and one I'm bound to repeat if I'm ever in the area. read more

Very reliable diner style food with breakfast all day. Very busy, but we were seated quickly. Fast ordering and our food came out quickly and accurately. Just a grilled cheese, but asked for Italian bread. The sandwich was great! Loved the sweet potato fries and the warm homemade chips. We will definitely eat here again when passing through. read more

I've been going to Eddies for decades now. It's a casual, down-to-earth diner-style restaurant with fairly good grubbin'. Not too expensive (but not super-cheap either, around $50+ for a fam of 4). I noticed the prices went up by $1-$3 for the things we usually get, which are burgers, fish, club sandwiches etc. We always get a large order of crinkle-cut fries with gravy on the side for all to share, and mmm hmmmm, good stuff. Not good FOR you, but good TO you- right in the tasties. We go once or twice a year, and this visit I got a fish sandwich. Good stuff, very salty but crispy golden brown deep-fried and placed on a grilled bun. Eddies is a tradition of sorts. I always look fwd to reading the back of the menu about how it all started with a "hot-ham sandwich"... If you're ever tempted to try this, just skip it. It's as crappy as it sounds. I had one a couple years back and I had to wonder, how could "it all" have started with these 2 bore-buns filled with warmed ham. It's a big let down, and they ought to 86 it from the menu all-together. The whole schpiel about people lining up for it, it must have snowballed in someones memory, or happened during the great depression or some famine. Order something else. After we walk the dumpy old amusement park and reminisce about yester-year. read more

To start off the environment is filled with old people which was fine because I was like "hey this must be the spot to eat" But I soon found that the chicken tenders were very poorly made also the waitress said "there are no free refills this year" this was a huge loss to the meal because usually you can drink as much as you want. Save your money and time cuz service is not acceptable. read more

Eddie's Restaurant - Not so good chicken tenders. Very rubbery. - American Near Me - Sylvan Beach, New York

This place used to be a lot better last time I went there I ordered a hamburger with lettuce and tomatoes and when I received the order it had onions on it. When we notified the waitress about this she took back my plate and had waited 10-15 minutes to Bring my order back to me but instead of it being a new burger it was the same burger it was cold and still had onions on it. My family wasn't a fan of their food either for what the prices were. My mom however likes their pies and it's an ok place. read more

This is the go to place for my mom on mother's day. She loves it there for their fish fry and we have gone there since I can remember. Super over priced for the quality of food. If you have no taste buds left, this is the place to go. The gravy is a yellow canned gravy. I get that most of the business is seasonal, so I understand and am OK with the higher prices - if the food was decent. Their frozen Burger and the fish are the better items to order. Recommendations : Use fresh ingredients and maybe change up the menu to include less items that you can cook well. read more

Don't eat here if you have any covid worries at all. At lunch today I had clear view into the kitchen and watched waitresses walk in and remove their mask, cooks with no mask at all, and what looked like managers or food vendors strolling around without masks. Food was fine but, why risk your health? read more

Food is very expensive,you get a small amount,still leave there hunger,food is very bland,I would not wait in line for 2nd rate food

Since the first time I had eaten here I realize I'm better off goi g to the Olive Garden. The food is less than mediocre Although the service is good when you have someone you know with you read more

We went for a family dinner on a recent warm Thursday evening and we were pleasantly surprised. It's always been hit & miss with us & Eddies.. This time the food was good & the server was very friendly. Definitely an enjoyable experience. read more

I've been coming here for 28 years What they do, they do just fine! Don't expect cremme brûlée and you'll be just fine. Burgers Fish sandwich Pie Floats, ect. Always a staple visit when up here!! read more

Delicious food, and a nostalgic step back in time. Great service! Veryy charming.. Would have gone 5 stars but it is a hair on the pricey side. That said, if you love to eat delicious food and don't mind dropping around $50 for a family of 3, you won't be disappointed. read more

Eddie's is a Sylvan Beach institution. It has been in business for over 77 years and it is a favorite amongst the locals and the tourists. For those of you that are old enough to remember, Eddie's has a throwback vibe to those old family restaurants your parents used to take you back in the early seventies. The menu features a vast array of traditional american fare. It doesn't feature much on the "creative" side overall, but what they do offer, they do quite well. (Their chicken & biscuits are a favorite of mine). If you are looking for something a little different, try either the Hot Ham or the FiFi's special. Both are quite good. The portions are pretty big, if not enormous so make sure you arrive hungry. But most of all, make sure you leave room for dessert... Eddie's features some of the best desserts on the beach, including some of the best home made pies in the area. If you go to Eddies and don't at least split a piece of pie, you haven't had the full Eddies experience. BTW... Eddie's should not be confused with Harpoon Eddie's. They are two different places on the beach. read more

I grew up with this place. It was always exciting news to hear that Eddie's had opened for the season. The fish fry, the hot ham sandwich, and the spaghetti (their sauce is excellent) are my faves. It is like a huge diner from a bygone age that never closed. The pies are a must have. The coconut cream pie is a DREAM. Go eat here, then walk around the honky tonk amusement park or by the water. This place is SUMMER to me. Great for families and large groups too! read more

First time customer at Eddie's. I had the corn beef on rye. The sandwich was good not exceptional. The sandwich was over priced for quality of the corn beef and rye bread. The restaurant was clean and the waitress was very attentive for our dining party. Sylvan Beach is resort area of Oneida Lake New York and I believe it's reflects tourists wants and somewhat reflects the price and the quality of food served. read more

The food was excellent and the staff could not of been nicer. We had our dog with us and ate outside. We didn't know what to expect when we stopped but happy we did. Recommended! read more

Food is good. I do like the family atmosphere. Service goes down year after year. It was not good this year even one time. Already not going as much as in past years. Try to go when it's not busy but service is still bad. Sad. read more

Over the years the quality of this place has dropped significantly. I had the gnocchi, which was my fault. I should have known that they couldn't make that anymore. I never expected frozen italian dishes from Eddie's, but apparently things have changed. The sauce wasn't bad, but it was runny. The waitress was either new and inexperienced or someone's niece who needed a job and didn't give a rats behind about the job. Turns out they had specials. We didn't hear the specials until our dinner came out and we heard it from another waitress. read more

Was not happy,my fish was dry and my onion rings were hard,never brought our drinks,had to ask for them twice,awful service,never going back

That had great food but the service was terrible, took forever for my meal. The place was sort of clean and was very old looking, needs a renovation. If your looking for a meal than skip this place. read more

We used to go to eddies all the time there food used to be good food was homemade there pies were good. But now food not homemade it frozen food that just deep-fried and the food is way over price on the menu. There pies used be good but there just ok now. read more

Great old fashioned dinner with great food. Party of four and everything was very good. Hot Ham Sandwich, pork BBQ sandwich, Eddie's famous steak sandwich and homemade "red" clam chowder. Home made chips with sandwiches were also very good. They also have bottled Saranac 1888 soft drinks. Since we were at the factory a few days ago we surely going to get another taste. You have to save room for dessert! The Chocolate Cream and Coconut Cream pies were to die for! Each piece is big enough to share. Also the hot fudge Sundae was excellent. Very creamy ice cream and good hot fudge. This was our first time here but won't be the last! read more

A quaint sylvan beach diner. I think we came for the wrong meal because the deserts looked the best! Friendly staff and good for families. Food ok. read more

If you want standard large menu diner affair, this place is the best in the area. The decor is very nostalgic and the seating is geared around large amounts of people, in fact a lot of it is family style (long tables) but there are also booths. I've only come here once and I have no complaints but I either want something more quick grab (pizza) or more restaurant style but this place is insanely popular and if that's the experience you want, they excel at that. read more

We have been going to Eddies for more years than I care to admit sometimes twice a week! Today we went and as I paying the bill using a coupon my husband went over to the counter to use the coupon we had got for our anniversary...a free dessert. As soon as I had finished paying Maryanne raced to the kitchen evidently to tell them we had already used a coupon and only one was allowed per visit. I guess if we had driven around the block it would have been ok! We were not allowed to use the coupon!!!!! Good job!!! My husband's health is not good so we probably won't get back before the coupon expires so you saved Eddies almost five dollars and lost loyal customers. Great customer relations read more

Can always tell after labor day. Small portions. Can sure tell Leslie isn't running it anymore. Why the food changes. Stick with what they did best. It's not harpoon so don't charge the same prices read more

So disappointed with Eddie's. One of our favorite dishes was their original spaghetti and meatballs recipe. We were surprised to taste the difference in their recipe in sauce and meatballs changed. The use of plastic cups for dinner was also tacky. read more

Ordered and paid for 3 fish sandwiches To-Go. Arrived at home only to discover 2 sandwiches not 3. Called to complain "nothing we can do about it tonight-kitchen closed, someone will call you tomorrow." That never happened. I decided to drive to location being that I'm only 10 minutes away. Rude waitress could care less and was bothered that I asked to speak to a manager when she flat out says "guess we're not important enough" to her co-worker. The two fish that I did come home with were stale and burnt on both ends of the fish. Rubber bun tasted like it was thrown into microwave to be heated. No tarter sauce, lemons or napkins to go along with my $10 fish sandwich. So essentially $10 for a dry, microwaved, reheated fish sandwich thrown into aluminum foil with stale chewy, oily chips. Ended up giving me $30 voucher which will be very difficult to spend considering I don't care to ever go back there or tell anyone to waste their time doing so. The service and quality food has gone down fast! read more

I grew up going to Eddie's. It was always the first sign of summer when Eddie's opened. I went last year (2015) and due to poor service and worse food vowed to never go back. The seafood platter was always excellent, and it was clearly mostly warmed up frozen items- not very good, and WAY overpriced for the quality of the food. I decided to give it another go this year. I only give two stars because my dish was actually not bad this time around (spaghetti with sausage and meatball), my significant other's meal (the Gnocchi) was clearly boiled from frozen, and was not very good. As decent as the spaghetti with sausage and meatball was... it was a plate of spaghetti with ONE approximately 4" long piece of sausage, and ONE meatball. $18.99. It was maybe a solid $10.00 meal. No soup or salad with it either for $18.99.... you get those items only with Italian dishes- that's right, dishes listed under PASTA in the menu don't qualify as "Italian" meals.... (?) Eddie's has never been a cheap place to eat, but it was always a GOOD place to eat. Now the food is mediocre to sub-par, and it's outrageously expensive. They no longer serve you enough food to take some home (which you may not want to anyway). The service was also lousy. The friendliest most competent person is the girl at the door who you pay before you leave. It was not until I was already eating that I heard another waitress offering specials to some other patrons, our waitress never mentioned any specials. In fact, it took ten minutes to get two sodas.... now served in disposable cups. I thought maybe they ran out, but a quick look around the place indicated that everyone was served in disposable cups... classy. Very sad.... at least the ice cream window is still good. read more

We went to the Sylvan Beach area for the Monday sunset celebration, expecting craft and vendor booths and activities but there was only 3 tents with garage sale items. It seems a lot of places are closed on Monday and Tuesday in the area as well so we decided since we were there we would grab some food. There were a handful of places to choose from and Eddie's was the closest to where we parked so that was the winner by default. The menu is pretty extensive so it took a while for us to decide. The homemade pasta sauce was a feature item and you could purchase it to bring home as well so I wanted to try it. I ordered the eggplant rollatini but sadly, I was pretty disappointed. All but 1 piece of the eggplant was bitter and the sauce wasn't that great much to my surprise since it seemed like a big deal there. However, my daughter ordered the kids meal chicken tenders. Those things were DELICIOUS! Had I know I would have ordered that instead- they were definitely some of the best chicken tenders ever. So based on my limited experience is say go for the tenders! They did have pies in the case but they only had cream based pies at the time- banana cream, coconut cream, and pineapple cream. I'm an apple pie kinda girl so I passed but if you're into all that cream it may be worth a shot. read more

I had the chicken ceaser wrap and it came out with a small portion of sweet potato chip that were bland. The ceaser wrap was also something that I could have made at home and was also not very appetizing the lettuce wasn't fresh. I also had a peace of hair on my wrap and I'm pretty sure I didn't order that.The silver wear had crumbs of old food on it and the place had a fish smell to it. Also they don't do refills on soda. The waitress wasn't great at all and the other took a while to come out when there wasn't even that many people in the place. Even though I did consider preparation time it shouldn't take that long from a wrap. read more

awful food, awful service, archaic atmosphere looks and feels like you inside some 80's trailer park home. The price is absolutely outrageous for what it is. our food was a burger and fries, generous portion of fries, but overall a culinary nightmare. Did not have a good feeling after eating there, very dirty place. read more

We've went there twice. First time for lunch and it was nothing special, the service was ehh and lengthy, and the prices were higher than I would of thought. I much rather go to any of the other places on the strip! Just because you've been around for 77 years doesn't mean you don't have to update. I personally relate to one of the previous posts below that touches on this by Joe L. Second visit we get my child an ice cream cone for the side stand. We got a baby cone, and she warned us that it was small. I figured ya that's what we want. Then she said $2.30, I was like O.M.G, but went with it because it is a "tourist" spot. Once the cone came out (5 minutes later... and we were the only people in line) That $2.30 was a F*&%ing fortune!!!!! The cone was smaller than the palm of my (female) hand!!!!! I asked her if she was kidding, and all she said was I told you it was small, but that is outrageously priced! I took a picture and once I get a second to figure out how to do it- I'll post it with this review. P.S. I always get my child baby cones, so this is not my first time. read more

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Haven't sat down and eaten at Eddies in probably 2-3 years. Just went on Monday 4/8/19. The waiter was in training and we have all been at a first job/new job. So I do not blame him. However I absolutely blame the "manager" who said she trained him. I feel bad for him because she must have given him a notepad and said go take orders. For one we had one kid give us the menus and another take the order. My girlfriend ordered a non sweeten ice tea and I ordered a strawberry lemonade. She got a water with lemon and I got her iced tea. That was corrected. And he apologized. I then asked what salads I could choose from, he said only a garden dinner salad was my choice after I asked for a ceaser salad. I asked what dressing and he said it comes with Italian. We both got our salads with no dressing. Not the waiters fault. Guess the chef was in training as well. I then ordered the CHICKEN riggies but instead of sausage I wanted chicken and shrimp. Which is 2$ more. My girlfriend also got riffles but only chicken. Our salads came with no dressing just oil. The bread and butter was 2 dinner rolls that were a day old atleast. Probably more. Also not the waiter-in-training's fault. When we finally got our riggies I recieved shrimp and sausage. No chicken. My girlfriend recieved riggies with no meat at all. Not to mention the colors of our sauce were night and day. Hers were orange like vodka sauce mine was literally white. Like noodles with 1oz of sauce. This was the end of the road. I politely asked our waiter in training to get the manager. She came over and was completely RUDE from the start. And blamed everything on our waiter being new. So I asked who is training him? She said she was, with her chest puffed out like she is doing a good job. Well hunny sorry but eddies needs a new manager and trainer. I refused my sausage and shrimp riggies and paid for my girlfriends plain riggies and our drinks. The "manager" did not even offer to make things right. She told me sausage and chicken are what their riggies comes with. Did not comprehend what I told her. That I ordered chicken and shrimp riggies and asked to subsititue shrimp with the sausage with my CHICKEN riggies. The waiter showed me his notepad that he gave to the chef that said the exact same. But yes Mrs. Manager blame it on the young man waiter in training. What a shameful "manager" and establishment in general. Will never go there again. And will tell all my friends and relatives, who have camps in the beach or homes, to not go there. I should have asked for the "managers" name. Anyway, I gave our waiter a 5$ tip and told him he was trying and did a swell job. It's his "trainers" fault not his. We left. The manger made us pay for our food that we left on the table. Never tried to make things right. Just was rude and said we had to pay for our food. What a terrible terrible SAD establishment from what it use to be. Take notes people. read more

Rude waitress. She severed two other parties their drinks before serving our drinks and we were there several minutes ahead of the other parties. When we asked for our drinks the waitress said "I am very busy." Moreover, she served the other parties the soups and salads first. The food was ok. Fun atmosphere. read more

Get the spicy ham sandwich and save room for dessert. It will change your life. Love going to Eddies every time I'm in the area.

This used to be the hottest restaurant in the area, now it is just in the area. Not at all impressed with their food...had a fish fry that was just not appetizing (the fish was over fried, the fries were just greasy and gross and the coleslaw was just cabbage and maybe mayonnaise?). The waitperson was too busy to properly serve us (there were only a handful of people in the house) and the food was WAY overpriced. What a disappointment, this place used to be the best around. read more

I had the worst service I've ever had there. Ordered a fish sand w/fries and salad and bbq plate. Got the fish in about 15 minutes the rest of the stuff came out 20 mins. later. She brought a tray out with 2 other orders on it, now mind you these people came in after I did. Of course my order was on the bottom so I had cold food all around. Am not happy about this and probably won't go there again. Used to got to the beach just for Eddies. Guess not any more. read more
