I have been travelling to Cambridge often these days. I found out recently that there are three Fast Eddie's there. Last week, I decided to complete my burger and fries quest by visiting this one, to complete the trifecta.
My observation is that the further south I go in Cambridge, the better my experience is at Fast Eddie's. This location is now my favourite one.
This eatery is pretty close to downtown Cambridge. I had no problem finding it. It is across the street from a massive plaza. I was in the median lane, waiting for the traffic to clear before making a left turn to get here. I felt so relaxed waiting. Maybe it's just Cambridge's vibe.
I pulled into the drive-thru. I got the most pleasant male voice speaking to me. I seem to be ordering something different every time I'm at Fast Eddie's. This visit, I got a double bacon cheese slider as a combo. I went with bacon crazy fries and a Diet Pepsi. I got my total and then headed over to the pickup window.
The man was so friendly and energetic. I think the guy at the Fast Eddie's closest to Highway 401 could pick up some tips from this man. I paid using my debit card. The transaction was effortless.
He asked me whether I wanted a tray. The fries come in a cup, as does my drink. I said yes, as two of my cup holders in my car were already occupied.
My food and drink came. I thanked the man and wished him a good day.
I then had something happen to me for the first time. I went to put my tray of fries and a drink down on the passenger floor of my car. The weight was so lopsided that some of my fries landed in the tray. My photo of my bacon fries consisted of my piling the spilled-over fries back into the cup. It looked like I was stacking miniature logs for a fireplace.
Anyway, I decided to drive across the street to the plaza and eat in my car. I'm glad that I did because I got to analyze the stores at this plaza as I ate.
I have found my burger! The double bacon cheese slider was delicious and screamed my name. It had two beef patties, sauteed onions on the bottom, two slices of cheese, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. It all worked so well together. Between getting raw or sauteed onions, I would sooner have the latter. They are sweeter and yummy.
The bacon fries were amazing. The chili sauce on the fries had bits of ground beef. I felt like these fries were over-the-top decadent with crumbled bacon everywhere. The fries were crispy. I loved them so much. I am rarely a fries person, but I do love Fast Eddie's fries. I am still going through every fries variation listed on the menu.
I had a great experience, despite my klutzy tray incident. I am looking forward to returning and trying more items off the menu. My next goal might be to order every item off the menu over multiple visits.
