    Me and He!
    Evelyn H.

    Yup! I'm back here. Although I am one for consistency and it usually bothers me when there is constant turnover, I must say I am never disappointed when it comes to this place and satisfying my crave to disregard slim hips! The food here is just good, fun, greasy diner type delicious. Crispiest onion rings I have ever had. They have gone up on the prices a bit (but who hasn't). They have this cool food truck style kitchen right there at the bar. Small space, so live music is usually just a solo artist. Downstairs is a cozy den type setting. Nice for sipping wine or bourbon, while chatting up with close friends. Outside patio is nice, with tall top tables and backyard is mostly used for corn hole competitions. Regulars are very serious about the game. Not sure what your definition of "steady" is, but mine is keep satisfying, never change, and always keep em' coming back. Y'all nailed it!

    We went just before sunset and the patio and view was gorgeous. Drinks and food was also great.

    Steady Eddy's is such a hidden gem in the town of Matthews! My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday midday after a morning roller skating sesh at the local skating rink. My friend had a hard time choosing what she wanted to order but she eventually settled on the 6 piece wings flavored in Dragon's breath (the hottest sauce they have!) and Mac n cheese. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak with Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious especially the Mac n Cheese. I still think about it days, weeks later. Drinks come in a can with a plastic cup filled with ice. The place is small with only a few tables on the inside, which makes it cozy and laid back. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Would recommend and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. In fact, I brought my husband here a few weeks after my first visit and he also gave them 5s.

    Small crowd the day after Christmas. I met my wife and youngest daughter, Katy, for lunch. I got a Bold Rock while I waited for them to arrive. We started with fried zucchini app. With horseradish sauce. This portion took quite a while to be served and the zucchini was still cold or at best room temperature even though the bread was fried. The temperature was a turn off for my wife and daughter which left most of the pile for me to eat. Tough start! For entrees Katy ordered a Turkey on croissant with fries, my wife got a chicken sandwich with fries and I ordered the meatloaf sandwich special with fried onions, mozzarella cheese and pickles with onion rings. My wife and daughter enjoyed their sandwiches but the fries were small portion. Usually Eddie's serves a larger portions that is borderline "too much", but on this occasion there was less than usual. My meal was great and the onion rings were enough to share with my wife and daughter. It appeared a newish cook was being trained which somewhat explains the lapses in portion and quality of the zucchini. "Steady Eddy's " is usually spot on, so I will consider this a "blip" on the many times we have ate here and will continue to frequent Eddie's for weekday lunches. Thanks!

    Burger with zucchini fries

    I honestly believe the higher ratings are solely based on the camaraderie of the staff and the patrons mixed. This is definitely a dive and nothing more. There are no available draft beers only cans or bottle with the option served in a plastic cup. No frosted/cold glass shenanigans.You walk in immediately to a few tables, the bar, and open grill concept. In this instance the open kitchen was a God send because it solidified for me that I will not be back. I noticed our waitress eating a sandwich, clearing glasses and trash from tables, work the register, go into the restroom to toss her hair, and handle her phone along with others without EVER washing her hands and still serve food. I saw the cook wear the same pair of gloves to high five a customer, handle cellphone, and cook food on the grill. She NEVER changed them. All the food was very salty and pretty much inedible. Ordered two pump house burgers with onion rings, beer mac n cheese, and zucchini fries. The final nail in the coffin was the little baby bird like feather found fried into my zucchini fries. Maybe this was an off day.

    I was in the area in search of a healthyish snack. Tried M&B's black bean hummus and found it to be…read moredelicious and satisfying. I like that it comes with lavash as well as carrot sticks. Took my order to go, but saw they have a large covered patio that I would like to try sometime

    Was so excited to try this new location and we were disappointed. Not as good as the plaza Midwood…read morelocation. Things we liked: - there is a big parking lot behind the restaurant. It was pretty full but we did find a spot. - the vibes were fun- definitely a bar feel!! Lots of TV's with sports on, decorated cute for Christmas, dimly lit like a bar- fun vibe! - we easily got a table at 6:00 and there was also bar seating - they had an extensive beer menu and some cocktails. They have a full bar. - the truffle fries and aioli was really good! - they left a carafe of water on our table so we could refill water glasses and didn't need to wait on them to fill up our water. Although the water cups were plastic/ disposable cups. What we didn't like: - they only had 4 wine options. I guess it's a beer scene but I wish there were more wine options! Although the one I got was good. - the food wasn't great. My husband got a burger and ordered it medium rare. He said half of it was medium rare but the other half was rare and not even cooked which he didn't learn until it was half eaten. He did not even eat it and needed to get a second meal after we left. I got the salad and it wasn't great. It tasted very watery, also not flavorful. The dressing was too thick- almost like a dip, so it wasn't great for a salad. - the burgers don't come with a side and it was pretty pricy for just the burger. - we got a beer, glass of wine, a burger, a salad and a side of fries and it was over $50 before tip which seemed pricy - the service was not great. She was great at the beginning, then we didn't see her for a while. We were ready to go and she was no where to be seen.

The food came out faster than expected, but waitress was slow throughout. The table ordered: - Guinness and Jameson - corned beef poutine which seemed unique and my brother liked it. - wings - lots of orders of fish and chips. The tartar sauce was good. The slaw portion was small, but really good. The fish and fries were well cooked and tasty. Compared to Sir Edmond Halleys - I would choose here. The food IMO was better, the restaurant isn't as dark, the prices/portions were better, the parking. Situation/lighting is better and the location is in a walkable downtown type area where you can walk off your calories after you eat. Overall: A hidden gem and I will return.

It just had such a great vibe, a true Irish Pub. I ordered the corned beef poutine, which was phenomenal. My husband ordered fish and chips and a Guinness beer and he said it was the best fish he's ever had in his life so we were super happy. Our waiter was Anthony and he was wonderful. He was so pleasant and helpful. He was always there when we needed him with a smile. The only complaint was the fish and chips comes in a basket with wax paper and the wax paper tears while you're eating, and my husband thinks he may have eaten a little bit of the wax paper. Next time he's going to ask for his fish and chips on a plate . I can't wait to go back!
