Eddie’s Drive In

Love going to Eddie’s! Great friendly staff and decent food. We go for the experience and fun. Tuesday’s is doggie night and they’ll treat your fur baby to a free hot dog, otherwise they always have treats. Sometimes service is a little slow, but we never mind because it’s evident they’re busy.

This place is a classic and everything Sonic wishes it could be. The menu isn’t extensive but what they do have had always been good. I suggest a visit before place like this are just a memory!

If you’re in the area and looking for a drive-​in restaurant, this is a good place to cruise in. There are usually a couple classic cars in their parking lot in the evening hours.
The food is ok, nothing fancy to write home about. Mostly burgers and hot dogs, and shakes, on the menu.
It’s a drive-​in, not a drive thru. The best drive-​in restaurant with girls on skates. Only open till 9pm :-(

Very good food, fast service, and servers who are always cheerful. and it’s just down the road from my apartment.
My favorite dishes are the breaded mushrooms, triple burger, chili cheese fries, and the always-​incredible mocha shake. My only (minor) complaint is that it’s pricey, but you get what you pay for.

I just moved into a house a mike down the road from Eddie’s so I decided to try them out. I’ve heard it’s a must go to place in Harrison Township. The service was really friendly and pretty fast. I ordered the Slim Eddie and a corn dog kids meal for my daughter. The sandwich was yummy and tasted fresh. The kids meal looked good and fresh too. I liked that it came with fruit snacks. My daughter loves those and I wasn’t expecting it. Overall I paid $ 12 for my sandwich, a drink, a kids meal, and a side of curly fries so not a bad price for what you get. I’ll definitely come back. I’m eager to try other menu items and it’s only a walk away from my house so I see many trips here this summer.

First, the URL is not right. This is a burger joint not a drive thru yogurt place near St. Louis, MO. Visit them on Facebook:

Burgers, fries and malts. Probably the best chocolate malt around. Best part is, i don’t have to get out of my car. Some hot chick brings it to you old school and hangs it from the window. Cool. What can I say? The burgers are good, the fries are good and the service is good.
Best part is that after Labor Day, it is count down to closing. They stop ordering inventory and begin the freezer clean out. Prices begin to drop and you can order whatever you want, so long as they still have it. It’s still fun ordering a hodge-​podge meal and relaxing at the drive in. It’s still Eddies.

Love it in the summer! Its nice to go and eat outside after a day on the boat or at the beach. The La Grasso sisters are the best waitresses too!

We had horrendous service at Eddie’s this evening. We have never experienced this before — normally it’s a nice little drive-​in and fun to visit in our classic car — so we were surprised to say the least.
Our order was taken at the picnic table by an obviously new waitress. We ordered two foot longs (one with everything and one with mustard only), one curly fry, and a large root beer with no ice. Seems simple enough. Apparently it wasn’t.
The gal delivered our order about 10 minutes later — two foot longs (both plain and obviously overcooked), one curly fry (undercooked to the point of being almost raw), and two packets of ketchup. That’s it. (No drink, no napkins, no straw, no mustard.)
We asked about the drink, and when she brought it (with ice, not without as we ordered), we told her that the dogs were incorrect. One of them was supposed to have everything on it (chili and onions). She took the tray back to the kitchen.
Ten minutes later, she returned — this time with BOTH dogs having everything, plus a new order of fries. My husband took one of the dogs, but when I refused the other, the older waitress got hostile, almost expecting me to still take it. I stood my ground and maintained that I cannot eat onions and chili. When she started to take it away, the guest at the table next to us bought it from her (since he’d been waiting awhile for his order too).
Ten minutes later, the new waitress returned with two more dogs (not just one) — one was my correctly-​prepared dog with mustard only. The other was with everything — even though my husband was already eating his. She left it for us anyway, and it was only after we looked inside the wrapper that we realized she GAVE US A DOG WITH A BITE ALREADY TAKEN OUT OF IT! (Was she sending us some sort of subliminal message?)
When we finished eating, my husband brought the half-​eaten dog back to the window, and was told it must have been someone else’s order! There was no shock, no apology, NOTHING. We departed extremely dissatisfied. We never had these problems with the previous owner, but since he passed away and the place was sold, things must have changed a great deal. Too bad, because it used to be such a nice place.
Postscript: The owner has apologized profusely on their Facebook page and offered us a free meal in an attempt at reconciliation.

I love the idea of what Eddie’s was meant to be. Sadly they fall very short on most levels, notably the way they treat their customers. We decided to take a cruise down Jefferson and grab a bite to eat, and have an enjoyable evening. No such thing to be had at Eddie’s. Sure they have mediocre food sloppy greasy burgers and semi-​limp fries, but the disappointment was the service and the attitude. If you have a show car and you park under the canopy you will be asked to leave if you get out of your car. Seriously! I’ve never been to a restaurant where I’ve been asked to leave for having to use the bathroom, even if it is a porta-​potty in the parking lot.
Amazing they drive away the the type of customer they try to attract. Sorry, but never again!

As of ²⁄₁₂ Eddie’s Drive In is for sale and is closed.

Ya come to Eddies for the experience. The food is not horrible, but far from fine cuisine. The girls on roller skates, the classic cars, the whole lost drive-​in and eat experience is pretty cool. Plus it brings people from all over Metro Detroit to my humble small town of Harrison Township.
I have come to Eddies for many years, and if it was horrible, this place would have perished a long time ago. I will fill you in on what I ate last Saturday.
My meal was the chicken pita. The chicken was nicely grilled, a real piece of chicken breast and must have been marinated because it was quite tasty. The pita bread was soft, and a little crisp on the outside just like I like.
Instead of fries, I actually like the Pepper Jack Cheese Sticks. They are different than your average cheese sticks, not only because of the cheese, but because of the shape and texture. They are rectangular in shape and only about 2 inches long, bite size. I do quite like them.
Root Beer to drink. All served by a friendly waitress. We saw a few classic cars too, on a Saturday afternoon. Come here in the evenings on the weekends and you will feel like you are at a car show. Keep it up, Eddies! An East Side mainstay :)

Love that there are still old-​fasioned diners around. The servers are nice, all on roller skates.
Average prices, decent burgers. Fries are a bit lacking. I think if they used more seasoning it would be a lot better.
Nice place to drop by if you haven’t been.

Classic 50’s Americana is alive and well in Harrison Township. Eddie’s Drive-​In is a true treasure for the whole family. A simplistic menu that covers all the bases (burger, hotdog, fries, milkshakes, etc) the food is quite enjoyable as is the ambiance. Waitresses on roller skates and in poodle skirts, when the weather allows, come right to your door.

Go back to the 50’s at Eddies. Car hop service with girls on skates.
Malts burgers and footlongs. Just like you probably forgot about.
Always some classic cars here especially Friday and Saturday nights.

For the sake of nostalgia, Eddie’s is pretty cool. An old school car hop burger joint (not a newfangled, nasty Sonic), the waitresses roll to your car in skates.
Menu is pretty basic — burgers, fries, chicken fingers, sundaes, milkshakes, etc. Food is strictly OK — burgers are cooked well done (no choice given). Fries are of the spiral variety with skin still on, which is a nice touch. Milkshakes are good — the banana shakes have chunks of banana not just artificial banana syrup.
So much better than Sonic, but that’s not saying much. Good for a novelty visit, but would not make this a regular stop, except to grab a tasty banana milkshake…
