Eddy's is at 11693 Fall Creek Road in the Geist Marina Complex, next door to Puccini's Pasta & Pizza and just a little way down from Wolfie's Grill, so you would have other options if you went there and found your primary target too crowded. Eddy's view of the marina and reservoir is not as good as Wolfie's, but it's a little cheaper and still very nice. There are umbrella tables out front, but as it was a windy 45-degree day we opted to eat inside. It has a comfortable semi-nautical ambiance like you might expect, and the large family dining room is almost completely separate from the bar so your kids won't have to watch the people drinking, and vice versa. They offer dock-side delivery to the yacht people, which I thought might be cool whenever I win the Lottery and can sail from our lakefront mansion over to the marina.
The Lovely Woman got a Turkcy BLT Wrap with a side of cottage cheese and I ordered a Pulled Pork Sandwich with Ketttle Chips. A strange thing happened, though-- the kitchen runner brought me a Fried Tenderloin Sandwich with Fries, and TLW said that was what she thought she heard me order! Now, I didn't have my heart set on Pulled Pork and didn't want to spend another 15 minutes waiting, so I didn't say anything and just started in on the Tenderloin. A minute or two later, though, the waiter brought out a small plate of Kettle Chips and said "Sorry for the mistake." What the-? I looked around to make sure that Obewan Kenobe wasn't seated nearby incantating "THIS ISN'T THE PULLED PORK YOU'RE LOOKING FOR" to us and the waiter....
My Tenderloin was very, very good. The patty was maybe 8" around and a half-inch thick, perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned. For me the best tenderloins are those with more of a fried chicken-type coating rather than the traditional corn meal. Eddy's and the one at Foxgardin Family Restaurants are good examples of this. The fries were also good, having been dusted with seasoning, and the Kettle Chips were very interesting: not hard and crunchy like others I've had, and seasoned with some kind of herb like chives or oregano. TLW's wrap was very good, too, with smokey bacon and turkey along with a hefty amount of a Southwestern blend of cheeses. I just wish the cook had mixed up the ingredients before rolling them up in the tortilla so you wouldn't have a big blob of cheese on one side and big bites of turkey on the other. With a big-around wrap like that, you can't get a mix of everything in one bite. Damn first-world problems!
