I first had Fast Eddies here almost 20 years ago, I loved it then and I love it now. I hadn't gone often since then as I didn't live that close to it and it was an out of the way treat. I have since moved and now live closer, so I can have it more often. Fast Eddies and DQ are the only two fast food burgers my IBS can handle. I had Fast Eddies last about 4/5 years ago. I'm thrilled I can now have it delivered, as it's still a bit away from me by bus.
Today I tried the maxx fries, beef fries and double cheeseburger. For years I only ever got a single burger but the double ones were on promotion. They taste just like their single burger but I can now stomach two, unlike I could 20 years ago.
The maxx fries is like thousand island sauce and pickles, I don't really enjoy thousand island but it was pretty good and I loved the pickles, I wanted to note they have my second favourite fast food fries, they are like a pub fry but more fast food, if that makes sense. I don't know if I'd buy or get these fries again but were pretty good.
The beef fries is just fries with beef gravy, I am a lover of fries and gravy (even more than poutine shhh don't tell anybody haha). They had their delicious fries topped with a really nice beef gravy and I know my way around gravy. I would absolutely buy and eat these again.
Lastly the double cheeseburger, they top it with ketchup, mustard, pickles and red onions. I felt so much nostalgia eating this burger. The burgers a little dry, especially the bottom one as there is no sauce on the bottom bun, still great burgers despite that but I wish the onions were white and not red. I of course will be buying these burgers as long as I can, I wish the burgers were a little less dry or they put sauce also on the bottom. Though their dryness may also have been due to delivery.
I would say though their pop kinda sucks, more specifically the 7up but I've...
Read moreSome of the best fast food burgers & fries ever! We just wanted to grab a quick bite as we had a long drive home and meant to stop at one of the fast food chains in the area but saw Fast Eddie's and thought we'd give it a try.... we're so glad we did!
Though we didn't realize it was drive through only (there's a picnic bench for warmer months) we loved the vibe and parked in one of the parking spots to eat to get the full effect.
We had a cheeseburger, hamburger and medium fries with a drink though we'd love to try their milkshakes another time.
The burgers were delicious & topped with ketchup, mustard and pickles (they were super friendly and open to customizing for what you prefer). We don't think we could have found a better burger anywhere in the area and the fries were better than we've had at any fast food joint. Though if you prefer fries closer to potato wedges, these aren't what you'll get.
The best part though was that the price was incredibly reasonable for what we ordered. Two burgers, medium fries (enough for the two of us) and a regular soft drink came to $8 and change and frankly shocked us at the value.
Definitely a place we'll look to stop again when we're in the area or pass by any of their...
Read moreThe place has an interesting vibe and the customer service was all fine. The issue comes down to the value. The items simply are not good for what you are being charged. Before I say anything else, I want to note the food made me feel sick. Not as bad as food poisoning, but I felt so nauseous and tired.
The fries are below McDonald's quality, they are really an afterthought. The burgers are probably a far cry from any other decent fast food place like Wendy's, A&W, and Harvey's. And whatever you do, do not buy the milkshakes. They are not milkshakes - they are an assortment of whipped cream and syrups. You can make these at your house and they'll taste a million times better. The flavours may sound enticing but they are not at all good quality. A Wendy's frostee or Harvey's milkshake are significantly better alternatives. Also the food was not warm at all by the time I ate it, which was barely 10 minutes after I bought it.
Do not go here. If you want burgers and fries, go elsewhere. Any other place is going to get you food that will taste better, will probably cost less or similarly, and almost certainly won't make...
