Fat Edd's Roadhouse — Restaurant in Metropolis

I give this restaurant one star because there’s nothing lower than one star that they have to offer. This is some of the worst food I’ve ever eaten the cooks are children they act like children there’s nothing professional about them. They’re loud obnoxious goofing around they don’t look like they take their job the least bit serious, or at least on a Sunday afternoon when I was there, I complained about my food not being fully cooked. I ordered four different appetizers. Each one of them was equally disgusting. The best part about the whole adventure was the management. When I complain to her she was quick to apologize offer to give me my money back and the beer was cold , the food was not fit for a pig my dog eats better than us. The shish kebabs were not cooked. I complain brought them back. They came back a second time they weren’t cooking taste worse than the first time like some disgusting oil was poured over them or something the chicken wings Were not cooked completely through and I asked for bourbon, chicken, wings, barbecue bourbon, chicken wings whatever I got definitely did not taste like bourbon. They were just hot so and really didn’t have much flavor. The nachos fiesta that I had with chili had no flavor had no heat it was like mush the cheese was barely melted And the chips are stale again not impressed it’s just nachos guys. You can’t screw up nachos that bad then we can move on to the bars can you send me home the baked potato skins these potato skins were anything but baked they’re frozen and then the garbage that they put on top of them that was supposed to resemble cheese and bacon bits. Well, the cheese, Ronnie is extremely watery. The potatoes are not cooked all the way through and the bacon was not cooked Pieces of it were cooked. I never been so dissatisfied with a restaurant in my life and then the lady screaming out the orders behind the desk was an obnoxious ignorant child. I need to get ahead of her but grow up but making faces to customers acting stupid, and she got irritated because someone would actually complain about the food which she had nothing to do with other than taking my order And taking my money and then on top of that you’re supposed to leave a tip after you eat your food because the service was good and the food was good. I’m made to feel that I have to pay a tip before I even get my food which I did I paid a tip before I even got my food got to sit down and eat it and then I had to wait an extra long time to get the food and the best part is the kebabs that I got were cold when I got them and so was my chicken and I had to bring those back and have them reheated and then there’s individual stats in with her attitude. They need to get some adults in there where she know how to cook and tell the kids who like to play with hamburgers to go back to McDonald’s where they belong because they do not belong in this establishment , it’s what happens when you hire children you get play food instead of real food. Good luck with...

Fat Edd's & Cordavino's are Hands Down the very Finest dining experience in Metropolis IL! When I entered Fat Edds my nose was greeted by the mouth-watering aroma of flame-kissed steak hot off the grill. It's an appetizer in itself! The super friendly & efficient cooks (chefs!) take your order, assign you a number for pick up, THEN prepare your meal hot, fresh & delicious from Quality Ingredients of generous proportions from behind the open-view food counter. My personal favs: the" how ya want it? Rare?Medium? or Ruined?" lol) grilled steak, bell pepper & onion ka-bobs is melt in your mouth tender! Their fried mushrooms are hand battered w their secret reciepe. A truly "abundant appetizer extrodenair'e!" & a MUST for all 'shroom lovers! These guys take a chuck wagon w chips to a whole new level of tender, juicy, crunch (its thrify price is very appealing too! ty Fat Ed's!) After ordering your meal you have your choice of seating: they have tables for 2 to 22 on the floor & tables on-stage behind the windows w a street view of passers by. There are several roomy comfy booths behind the super long, shiny & beautiful antique wooden bar with lots of spin type bar stools which I prefer over heavy clunky wooden stools any day. If you smoke or just prefer outdoor dining or gathering w friends for cocktails they have a great covered outdoor area too! The lady barkeeps are as friendly as they are beautiful and knowledgeable in their craft! I like their premixed to Perfection Long Island Ice Tea! I like the Original Flavor, served over ice or frozen but theres a long list of flavorings you can add to make it your very own! Best of all its served in a QUART SIZE "BALL" CANNING JAR!! Topped w fresh juicy fruit slices and cherries and at only $6!! It makes it easy to tip! These bar keeps & waitresses are professionals in the art of service. They keep your drinks full, cold & fresh with welcoming smiles & their outgoing personalities are to to-die-for! They know how to be attentive and treat you like an old friend but without being smothering. Great job ladies! Dont miss the Fat Ed's Roadhouse...

$ I'm sure this place is great for locals but for anyone visiting, it is a restaurant from hell. First off, given we are in a pandemic, it was nice to see big stickers on the entrance door that masks are required. Unfortunately after entering, we looked out of place as only of the few patrons who were actually wearing masks. The staff was pretty good at wearing masks but it was clear the people who eat there missed the pandemic memo. Second, you need to order your food (and only food) first, pay, and then go find a seat. Then a waitstaff will come up after you sit and take your drink order! Basically you're paying two separate bills. Anyway, no point in ordering an appetizer because it will be part of the meal order and there's no differentiation between appetizer and main course so you get to eat your appetizer with the meal. They call your number when it's ready and you go up and retrieve your food which is a problem in itself because they have no trays so you now have to become an expert in food service in getting multiple baskets carried back to your table. Then in their horrible attempt at safety, there's a free-for-all condiment station that every germ known to man undoubtedly passes through. Third, the drink order. Instead of the waitstaff serving food, they come to your table and only process your drinks. That's fine if you're only there to get liquored up but if you're there for dinner, it's a real inconvenience. So basically I paid $2.25 for a very watered down single serving of iced tea and gave the waitstaff a $2.75 tip because I didn't want any refill or wait for change in my attempt to get out of there as quickly as possible. To conclude, if you like eating out and paying for the pleasure of serving yourself, then here you go and enjoy. However, if you want a nice and relaxing meal, go elsewhere. Plus given the ordering process, you better know what you want as soon as you walk...
