About the restaurant

A small retro diner space with a big personality. Pull up a barstool, but get here fast - there's only 45 of them! Eddie loves burgers more than most, and just as much as you. Alberta beef is his favorite, washed down with a milkshake. Come by, watch the game, bring the kids, have a burger, send the kids home, have a trashcan, watch another game, have another burger and have a great time! We take limited reservations.
.
If you do not see your time join our online waitlist or come on in, we will always find you a spot.
Open 7 days a week from lunch until late.
