Eddie's on Lake Norman — Restaurant in Mooresville

Well we took a drive down to the lake today just to get the (King !) his bacon wrapped scallops, we decided to try this place, years ago it was another restaurant that my husband remembers pulling up to the beach from Skippers in the boat and getting out and coming up on the deck eating.Memories of long ago. Nothing is the same here anymore,

The parking not to bad, went in and had a 30 minute wait, okay not bad wasn’t even that, we were taken to a very small round table in the middle of walking traffic to and from a side door and other table not a pleasant place to sit!!! A band ( two men with guitars) were strumming out really nice music actually very nice they sounded just like Cat Steven’s and Pink Floyd ! But the place was loud full of chatter , hussle and bussle if you want relaxing and quiet meal this place is NOT were you should go. The chair at the table I was at was so wobbly I thought it would break , took three chairs and almost half my meal for me to find a chair that wasn’t I could finally sit back in my seat AFTER I ATE PLEASE , CHECK YOUR CHAIR for your safety!!!! The manager did come over finally and ask if I had been taken care of. Because I had mentioned to the host that seated us that the chair was bad, come on safety issue , someone could fall and get bad hurt , but new bar stools!!!!!!!!! My husband got bacon wrapped scallops They are not flamed cooked but deep fried so there’s oil left on them my husband drained them off on a paper napkin this should have been done previously , but over all he really enjoyed them ! If you get brown sugar and melted butter mix it together it makes a delightful dipping sauce for bacon wrapped scallops!! Hint Hint ! For the King himself of course . I ordered a salad instead of fries and a salmon burger, he got the smokehouse burger, our food came out and it overwhelmed me ! my burger plate a salad plate, his burger plate , cup of coffee ,water , tea and cup of extra ice plus condiments containers all on a extra small round table !! I had to hold my salad up with one hand and put the remaining part in my burger plate to have room for the Plates! not a enjoyable way to eat , I couldn’t even put the red wine vinegar and oil on my salad my hands were so full and hold utensils and a plate in one hand, besides I was afraid something would fall off, the salad should have been brought out first, then my burger plate. My lettuce on burger looked like a big wedge that had belonged in the salad I removed it , it made my bun split!! The salmon itself was delicious ! My husband said he disliked the bread his burger was on it was hard as a rock, but the hamburger patty itself was good! Overall this was not a bad adventure but not a pleasant one either, the best thing this place has going on is our sweet young waitresses, pleasant, attentive, checked on our questions without delay, said she is new here, and had not worked there long, this person is hardworking, honest and really try’s to make you happy! None of the problems we had while here were her fault, and we never complained to her about them, but she’s the reason for your five star rating so tell her thanks for being a great asset to you!!! Thanks so much CassA I will leave your name that way since it’s social media, remember my husband told you that I do this and I would say nice things about you serving us!!!! Hope...

Last time I go. I have tried. Truly. I've gone at least 20 times over the past 5 years. We (my family and me) really want to like this place because of the view and now their new patio, but we can't, and I will not go back.

Every single time we go we have the worst service and the food is just so meh. Quite a few times it's one girl in particular that is just really rude (she was at the outdoor bar last night). But overall, their waitstaff is just so unprofessional and mediocre.

The food is blah. Nothing to write home about. Last night, crab cake was bland and flavorless (yes I said cake..not cakes), the fish tacos were a sloppy mess of mush in a tortilla. No bright colors, no cilantro and I had to ask for a lime to give it "some" flavor then doused it in tabasco to try and make it come alive. It honestly looked like pink baby puke in a tortilla and was absolutely flavorless. Just charge me $20 and knock my socks off. Don't charge me $14 for 6 bites of baby puke. Mom had clams and there were a lot of empty shells. This was not the first time she's had clams and same experience.

I've had other things there too. Once I had a bowl of pasta with olive oil and pepper flakes for $16 (yes, they literally charged me $16 for a plain bowl of pasta and it was not a large serving by any stretch).

I've taken customers there, friends from out of town, family and I have honestly really tried, and I am NOT one to write a review like this. I worked in the service industry for years and have quite a bit of grace. But seriously...it is every single time we go...something is awry or something off happens.

I think they have some work to do. It could really be a great place. But it really needs to start with their menu and the staff and some of their "policies".

Also, this is a to each their own but...the wait staff looks so slobby with their ratted t-shirts, no uniforms, baseball caps––they all wear different things. It looks like a motley crew, and I am guessing that this laissez-faire attitude they allow in their dress is partly why the staff does not give AF...it comes from management. The staff is often rude, unkind and just not helpful...many times snide and they often forget things you order. Half the time you don't know who the staff is vs the patrons. It's a bit of a mess.

Anyway...if you are local. Go. Because you know what you are in for. But don't take guests or anyone you are excited to impress with our beautiful Lake Norman. I'd honestly head over to Toucans or Blue Parrot where they are nice, friendly accommodating, the food has flavor and the price is right.

Sorry Eddies. I...

Worst experience I've ever encountered at any restaurant tonight at Eddie's. I normally don't leave reviews unless food or customer service was excellent bc I'm a positive person, but this place is a dumpster fire at best.

My family arrived at 7:23pm. Table of 9. I was told 1 hr to sit outside. That was fine. We had a drink, walked to the lake, hung out, and checked back at 8:45pm after I had not received a text after ~1 hr and 20 min.

I go to the hostess table to ask if our table was almost ready, and the tiny little girl who appears to be in middle school quotes me another 45 minute wait, and says I was originally told an hr and 45 min. I told her that is a lie. Who would wait almost 2 hours to eat any restaurant? (This place is average food at best. We are here for the atmosphere.) I ask her if we could split up our party or just eat inside as there are 5 tables open outside and numerous tables open inside for atleast the past 30 min that we have noticed. There is clearly a staffing issue. I am respectful of that and understanding if that would just be communicated.

Instead of an apologetic or empathetic response, the petite, little girl and her teenager friends (3 little kids) working the hostess stand roll their eyes and tell me, "our wait time MIGHT be cut down if we are willing to sit inside." My dad is now getting irritated with the wait time. He goes to hostess stand where he is smarted off by the petite, little middle school girl and her colleagues and then the manager who appears to be about 20 years old.

We eventually sit down inside after waiting over 2 hours to specifically eat outside. My mom then ask for the manager as she was freezing and upset about sitting inside after waiting 2 hours to sit outside. The hostess stand of little middle school/high school girls are now talking about us and staring at us after we have become overly frustrated with the wait, customer service, and seating arrangements. I ask if we can sit outside again and the midget hostess girl has the audacity to roll her eyes at after the worst display of customer service we have ever received anywhere, so I flipped her off. I was then told to leave as was my family.

When I say this is the worst experience my family and I have ever experienced at a restaurant that is an understatement. From the hostess stand of adolescents to the young arrogant female manager I would NEVER step foot in this place again, and I live 1 mile away and use to...
