Eddies Grill End Of The Season Meal

 

So welcome back my friends to the final Eddie's Grill post of the season. Yes my friends, Eddies closed for the season a few days after Labor day. Yes, very sad. I still do not understand why they close with so much good weather ahead for Geneva. Yes, Eddie's claims that with school now in session, they cannot hire enough manpower to run the grill. 

If it were me that owned the grill, I would remain open all year round. I would even construct a drive through so people can stop, place their order, and take home the best cheeseburger in the land. And the fries, hot dogs, and pizza. And the Dairy Queen attached. (Seriously, why close at all?) Surely, business would be slower with most of the other stores on the strip closing until Springtime but plenty of traffic still use that roadway to get to work and back. I truly believe that motorists would stop for lunch and dinner to keep Eddie's going in the fall, winter, and string. 

Any way, above was my last meal of the season at Eddie's. The classic cheeseburger, fries, and diet coke. Let me say, being my last visit of the season, the cheeseburger was absolutely fantastic. The taste was absolutely fantastic. As well was the bun. The fries of course are classic. Tasted great and plentiful. Topping off was the large diet coke. Cold and tasted great. Some used to say, the pause that refreshed. 

The cost, a little pricey this year. Cheeseburger, $7.15, Fries, $4.50, Large diet coke, $3.50 with a total of $15.15.  Seriously, not a bad cost, but higher from last year. 

The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 5 out of 5 shots and recommends Eddie's Grill for lunch and dinner.

We will see you next season, Mothers day weekend. Until then, eat well my friends.

Steak N Shake - Double Cheeseburger

Double Cheeseburger

Is Steak N Shake a fast food joint or a restaurant?
From the outside it has the markings of a fast food setup with a drive through window. However, when walking inside, the decor is 50's style diner, black and white tiles, booths, and even a counter to eat at.

We sat down and a waitress took our order. Chalk one up for restaurant. I ordered a double cheeseburger and fries. It was brought to our table in less than ten minutes. (Another restaurant feature) The cheeseburger was excellent, in the top 10 list for sure. I watched them make the burgers on the grill before. They start with a fresh round ball of meat and using the spatula, smash into a thin patty. A few minutes of sizzling and the patty is flipped. Cheese is added and then placed on the bun.

The fries were thin cut, (We will call them Mini Fries) and were tasty especially with the dipping cheese sauce.

The cost was very cheap, (A fast food feature) $4.00 with fries. We paid and left a higher than usual tip for our waitress and walked out the door.

The Grassy Knoll Institute scores 4.75 out of 5 shots and recommends steak N Shake for dinner.
