Great food, Big Elwood is to die for. You can not beat the prices on the food. We go all the time with a group or just the two of us. Always have a good time. (more)

I used to frequent this bar, but I won't go back after yesterday's experience. The "live band" was a farce...there was a saxophone player and a guitar player who doubled as the "lead singer." However, the "singer"... (more)

We went to Fast Eddie's after the Cards game this weekend. The line was long, but what a bargain the food is ! 99 cent burgers - 1.20 for a cheese burger that tasted great and was not greasy and was huge. Great prices for... (more)

LOVE it. Shrimp, chicken wings, and burgers. Gotta try this place. There is no non-smoking, in fact the owner bought the whole street so you can smoke just about anywhere. Class 1 place!... (more)

All right people, let's get things straight; Bon Air is a dive (but in the good sense). Why people complain about it being crowded, too loud, and the servers "swarming" around you is beyond me. First of all, it's not... (more)

The food is cheap and decent, the shrimp are good, but I have to agree with others that the waitresses remind me of a car salesman hovering over you before your drink is even half empty, but if you order soda, be prepared... (more)

Way too much hype for Fast Eddies. Yes the food is cheap and pretty good, but you pay for it in the long run with overpriced drinks and waitresses hovering over your table asking you if you need another drink, all the... (more)

Everyone and his brother knows about Fast Eddies; featured several times on the Travel Channel, this corner bar has become an Alton institution. The food is not only cheap, but delicious as well. The Big Elwood steak... (more)

This place has great cheap food with burgers, shrimp, and the Big Elwood. The beer is cheap too and always ice cold. They’ve usually got music and the crowd is always entertaining. But if you're gonna go, though, go... (more)

The food at Fast Eddie's is great and what an awesome price. $1.09 for a 1/2 lb cheeseburger, 99 cents for a basket of fries, not to mention the Big Elwood on a stick and all the other great items at the food bar. Free... (more)

Fast Eddie's is home to the $1 half-pound burger and it is so good that you'll wish you had room to eat another. The food is so incredibly cheap at Fast Eddie's, but I'm sure they make up for it in drink prices - and to eat the... (more)

If you live on the MO side of Saint Louis, Fast Eddie's is worth the drive. They have decent burgers for a dollar, as well as chicken wings and a few other items. Good if you're looking for cheap eats. They have live music,... (more)

While going to school near by Alton I've came pretty well fond of Fast Eddies. Food is cheap and good. My favorite would be the shrimp and a nice cold brewed Budweiser. The bar is usually crowded but it has a good... (more)
