We all have days where things don't click. This was one of those for me. Always love, trying the local businesses. Tried this one because the reviews look pretty good. Unfortunately my experience wasn't as satisfying I purchased roast beef sandwich, tater tots, and a drink for $18.50. The roast beef was dry and the bun fell apart on me and I didn'tcare for the tater tot flavor. It took a few minutes for them to wait on me even though I was the only one in the store because they were carrying on a conversation about TV shows. The restaurant had quite a few tables in the back, but no options for lids for your drink to carry out. Restrooms are very clean which was nice. But unfortunately, not a win for me today. read more

Gnaw of the bone ribs and rib leather. Not a low and slow cook and while it had the flavor, i felt like one of the ghengis khans Mongolians eating a tough piece of horsehide out of necessity. Do better fast eddies...perhaps try cooking slow..not "Fast" eddies style. read more

Been a customer for 20 years and it's still amazing!! Huge portions, great food, fast service, pretty lowkey restaurant just off 95.

I had take-out from Fast Eddies. The beef was piled high and very moist and nicely cooked but, to me and my wife, it was under-seasoned. I regret not asking for the roll and the beef to be packaged separately because, by the time the sandwich got to me, the roll was a soggy mess. Consider that as a testament to the moistness of the beef but it didn't make for pleasant eating. The fries were very good, thinly sliced with the skin on and mildly salted. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were made from instant potato flakes and the gravy tasted okay but was definitely not homemade. read more

Aweful, I ordered medium rare and what they gave me was well done. That's not the worst of it, the place is absolutely filthy, floors dirty, condiment counter dirty and littered with dead flies. Just a dirty place. I definitely would not recommend. read more

My first visit to Fast Eddies since I moved 12 years ago. Not sure what happened but Fast Eddies beef is not good. I was disappointed that the beef was extremely tough and fatty. I threw half the pit beef sandwich away. 2 star rating only because the fries were very good. read more

It's not exactly the traditional pit setup. But it's DAYMN good. The actual pit would've got em 5 stars. I get a hankering for pit beef about once a year. And there's nothing exactly like Maryland pit beef. It's a unique specialty. Large portions. Awesome sauces and sides. This place is always BUSY. Lotta happy and return customers. Some seating outside. Tip. If you're getting a takeout, make sure your order is correct. That's a recurring issue. Like I said. They're BUSY. read more

Visited with a family of 7 today. Azra, Jory, Garrett, and some other boy were working and had the place nice and clean, stocked and the food was very good ! Azra did I great job on the sandwiches, temps were perfect. Joey's customer service was excellent, and they were friendly. Good work boys ! Hope they're getting the compensation they deserve ! read more

I had the bbq pork and fries combo which cost me about $17. That was the WORST pulled pork I've ever had. It tasted like it just sat in a crock pot for 3 days with ketchup. Super mushy, lacked flavor, and the roll was stale. The fries are huge and too much, but I guess they were also $5 and should be shared. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. I don't know. The kid at the counter said it was good. He was wrong. Clearly he never had real pulled pork. The inside is filthy and tables needed to be cleaned. Wish I saved my money. read more

Half way through our DC to Philly drive, my wife and I needed lunch. Just off of 95 is Fast Eddie's Pit Beef, a top rated BBQ joint in a strip mall. They bring real southern charm to their restaurant. From the moment you walk in and see the open kitchen roasting beef, the staff are engaging and friendly. They'll direct you to order their famous pit beef sandwich and ask how you want your beef down (same scale as a steak). The sandwich itself is big and is thicker cuts of beef compared to a BBQ sandwich. It is a bit dry so use one of the many sauces they have on the counter (my favorite was honey BBQ). Their sides are good especially the mac and cheese and coleslaw. It's not healthy food, but it's perfect road trip food! read more

Excellent choice for a delicious, quick meal!!!! The pit beef is top notch! You won't be sorry if you get a meal here!

Fries are cut in house the way they should be. Just impressed all around by this place, the food, the sauces and condiments, the people, portion size, and prices. Thanks for being awesome and sorry I didnt come sooner. Yum. read more

This place kind of missed the mark for me. I think the flies landing all over the counter with the horseradish and condiments and the overflowing trash can had something to do with it. Kind of grossed me out. Ordered a pit beef sandwich and fries and an order of burnt ends just to try them. The burnt ends were REALLY burnt. Not the juicy crispy kind you would get at a bbq place. They were tough and hard to chew. Then i noticed at the bottom were bits of burnt ham ends which were softer and better but still not something I would order again. The pit beef was cooked through, not rare like i ordered. A bit tough. Bread got soggy and fell apart. May have tasted better with the horseradish but considering it was only half covered with a lid and exposed to the flies i didnt take any. The fries were pretty good. They do a good job on hand cut fries. Malt vinegar is a available...but the flies again made me not interested. Overall it seemed like the kind of place that would not get a great health inspection. Looked like a good spot so I tried it once. But I wouldnt enjoy a return visit sorry to say. read more

Best pit beef in the area, prove me wrong!! Combos are the way to go for this place, they offer your choice of meat(s), some bombin' ass fries, and choice fountain beverage. Sauces are not included on sandwich, so make sure to grab on the way out, it definitely adds to the flavor profiles from the Beef/Turkey they have available... Medium is personal preference, but overall an awesome place for afternoon lunch craving!! Please, if you can do one thing, TIP heavily, a lot of TLC goes into making some flavorful meats! read more

Fast Eddie's Pit Beef - Best pit sandwich in Cecil County, Md!! - Barbeque Near Me - North East, Maryland

Very good pit beef sandwich! I also had sides of baked beans and mac & cheese, which were very tasty. Also, the service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was quiet, casual and low-key...perfect for this type of dining. I was craving this kind of food and made the scenic drive through Cecil County up from Dover, DE (I dislike chain restaurants and driving to Bull On The Beach in OC was out of the question on a holiday weekend). It was well worth the drive to Fast Eddie's and I will definitely be returning! read more

Definitely a solid entry into my "I want something fast & tasty cuz I don't feel like cooking" category! As stated by other reviewers, there are some opportunities, but if you want a generous sized meal that Arby's won't satisfy, this is the spot. Don't get caught up in the reviews by people who think they're food critics in NYC. Know where you are and have realistic expectations. read more

Fast Eddie's is not convenient to me, but when I get a hankering for pit beef it has always been worth the trip. disappointed today to find increased cost combined with decreased portions. got 2 pit beef combos, $32 plus tip, By itself that didn't bother me, but the generous portion of meat in the past was reduced to nothing special today. No longer worth a trip out of my way. read more

The food is okay. Burnt tips and Mac and cheese are great. Beef platter is okay. Customer Service was great read more

This was a super delicious find on our Geocaching trip to Elk Neck State Forest Arboretum. Being on a new diet, I ordered the turkey and my tastebuds were surprised by the tastiness. It was a awesome healthy alternative. I Topped it off with the honey bbq sauce and was in heaven. Half of the sandwich was all I could eat for lunch, but I have a delicious leftover dinner for tonight. And the fresh cut French fries were exceptional and they had vinegar which is the perfect condiment. The staff was very friendly and willing to give up some of their secrets about their tasty sauces. Thank you so much for that. This restaurant was a treasure and we were so lucky to find it in an area where we didn't think we would ever find a decent restaurant. We had already driven 2.5 hours to get to this area and I would do it again to experience this wonderful pit bbq. Stop by Fast Eddie's for a delicious, quality, great priced meal prepared by a friendly staff. read more

Great food!! I don't miss a chance to stop when I am close by! Highly recommended! Wish we had something like this in Bear DE

Traveling back home to Orlando from NYC on business and found this place with Siri. I travel 250 ish days a year for work coast to coast and I've been to and have had some of the highest rated and some of the worst in the country as well as some of the best bbq in my 10+ years of work travels so take what I say to heart or lump it. 1. My first mistake was ordering the pulled pork sandwich. After noticing it was pulled out of a microwave I was disappointed to say the least & it was pretty obvious in the taste & actually made me think it was possibly frozen ‍. The bread well it tasted like it was from a day old store . Went back up and ordered the pit sandwich hoping it would save the day and it was actually surprising too me on how well it tasted. I ordered it well done so keep that in mind because the guy before me had one that was rare and it looked horrid. But again the bread was terrible. Fresh buns would make this sandwich top notch A+. The fries were Freckin amazing by the way. Overall it's an ok place to have lunch or dinner but nothing to sing from the mountain top read more

I really like their food I would eat it more often if they were closer to where I live but when I drive by I try to stop in I recommend the roast beef and roast pork especially. read more

Strip mall next to gas station. Clean inside an good value. Menu a bit difficult to read so ordered everything...meat well seasoned Great grab an go place read more

Poor service, they advertise "fresh cut fries", but they are frozen . Employees don't wear hair/beard covers. Recently went to pick up a party order and it was poorly put together and almost made me late for the reception I was picking up the food for. The place is filthy dirty with dead flys laying in the window sills! read more

I'm from NC so I'm use to really good BBQ... this was good BBQ but not the best. Their fries are good, fresh; what I call boardwalk style even better with malt vinegar. I came back the next day to try the pit beef... I should've ordered this the first time. It was very good and the pit beef portion was huge for a sandwich. I amended my former 3 star review and still can't say they are a 5. I'll be back and will probably bring my boyfriend, who works in the area, with me next time. read more

Good tasty food, and generous portions. I like the beef best. Lovely, if greasy, hand cut fries. TIP: If you are picking up and driving to eat it at home, ask them to wrap the buns separately, otherwise they may get soggy in 20 mins. Surprising good seafood bisque. read more

Atmosphere isn't much to look at but that isn't a deterrent. (Americana meets an ill placed Dali poster??) Best pit beef I've ever had. It's always tender and juicy and plenty of it. Fresh 'ocean style' fries. Good selection of sauces and toppings--- Love the fresh horseradish on my sandwich. Great place to stop in for lunch. Easily overlooked as it's in a dismal small strip but not to be missed for great, affordable food, fast. read more

I got a pork BBQ sandwich and my fiancé got a burger. They pulled his burger out of what looked like a scrap bucket and put it on a cold run of the mill bun, the fries tasted reheated and half of them were burned from what we are assuming is from reheating via the fryer. Despite this, the sandwiches were okay, and might have even been good (and even hot) had we not stopped in so close to closing. However for two cold sandwiches, old reheated fries, and a side of slaw was 25 bucks... We over paid by a lot. If we are paying normal hour prices, we expect the food to go with it. We would like to try it again during the mid day, see the food is better, if we ever do, I will change this review accordingly. read more

Fast Eddie's Pit Beef - Where the burger we ordered came from at the end of the night. - Barbeque Near Me - North East, Maryland

You've come here for pit beef. So, I'll review the pit beef, but first... don't look at the restaurant or the bathrooms or the open kitchen or the stale bread. You came for the beef. So order a pit beef sandwich. My feeling is the longer cook times are best here, so get a medium well or trust me, get a well done sandwich. Then, you get to personalize, all the sauces and some awesome fresh horseradish are set aside for you. If I was to make changes, and I wouldn't, I'd say toss the day old bread. read more

Should change the name to slow Eddie's. Literally took 30 minutes to gamer one sandwich and it was not that busy

Good enough, not great. Burnt ends? these are not those, this menu item was bite size pieces of mixed meat. The ham and the turkey was moist but the beef chunks were to tough to chew. Real burnt ends are twice cooked so they char all around again it's a Kansas City thing try it for your next smoke. The pulled pork sandwich was good, would have been better had we received the cole slaw we ordered (not changed for the missing item but the point was to dress the sandwich as there was no sauce available). Mac and cheese, eh...elbow pasta with the canned yellow cheese sauce- ok for the price but I would pay double if it was homemade special with the melted cheese on t read more

I had a problem. The owner handled it at his Fallston. He went out of his way to make everything good. He was great, as was the food. We love Fast Eddies, will return soon read more

Fast Eddie's Pit Beef - Would you eat something that looked like this ham sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - North East, Maryland

Their crab fries are pretty good! Fries are freshly cut, with their crab soup poured over it? It's good. As for the sandwiches... Asked for medium rare pit beef, came out totally well done and dry. Bbq beef sandwich, while my husband thought it was good, it was drenched in too much bbq sauce and the beef wasn't very tender. There was another customer that was ordering extra rare when I was there, maybe that's what I should've done to get the "medium rare" order... Friendly service. Lots of condiments is a plus! read more

The food tastes pretty good but I didn't like how they prepared their burgers. So according to the cashier, they pre cook their burgers ahead of time and then put them in the freezer. Once you order, they put the burger back on the grill. I tried to order mine well done but she said they are all cooked one way. For a small place that charges $11 for a simple burger combo you would think everything would be cooked fresh to order. I mean hell, even the fast food places don't precook burgers anymore. Last time I get the burger for sure. Stick with the pit meats. read more

I have been here a couple of times and their food was really good.. I dont eat out much anymore. If I had a choice between Fast Eddie's and Subway, or Pat's Pizza, or Sonic it most definitely hands down with out a doubt be Fast Eddies...... God Bless 1-6-2021 Frany Gill read more
