Eddie’s Place is one of my family’s regular places to eat. And we have heard from some of our readers that you love it too! Ours is located in Cotswold on the corner of Sharon Amity and Providence Road near Hotel Charlotte. There is also a Ballantyne location at 12239 Toringdon Way. We love this restaurant because it is so easy and low key. This pub/restaurant has a large crowd of regulars. The wait staff is fun and laid back. And in the past year, they made it a smoke free place until 9:00pm – perfect for the early birds who come for dinner with the kids.
We started going to Eddie’s Place for breakfast on Sunday’s. They serve chocolate chip cookie pancakes in the shape of Micky Mouse – which Zoe just loves. Other highlights include the box of free Tootsie Rolls by the door, the juke box and menu that children get to color on. There is even a wall where the wait staff features some of the best coloring in town.
Eddie’s Place is great because you don’t have to worry about your children being too loud. And on Sunday mornings and early evenings, the place is packed with families. The food is good – with a cajun flair, but also includes hamburgers and sandwiches. Best of all, they serve breakfast all day long.
So if you are looking for a great Charlotte joint without the fuss, give Eddie’s Place a try.

why would you possibly say “you don’t have to worry about your children being too loud?”Is the restaurant filled only with families with loud children? Adult diners or diners with well behaved child(ren) don’t matter?
Eddie’s Place is excellent for families with children! Fine dining is not, however, the laid-back atmosphere allows one to be comfortable with their children being a bit excited and talkative. Good manners are always important and should not be overlooked. Enjoy eating and talking at Eddie’s!
I could not agree with the first comment more! My children, age 9 and 3, understand that when we are at a restaurant, store, etc, that they MUST use inside voices. If they do not then we leave and a privledge is lost. We actually left Target yesterday because several children in another family were acting like such animals that I could not even concentrate enough to do what I needed to do. It really just comes down to common courtesy! If your child is not behaving appropriately, please remove them from the situation.
WOW!lighten up people!i think she was just trying to point out that it wasn’t like dinning at the Palm where you have to worry about your children being there and being children! i don’t think she meant that you could “go to Eddie’s if you don’t want to parent your children and let them run wild!”come on!
Guess What – My child is 12 months – and he does not understand what an “inside voice” is. He screams just to hear his voice….he is 12 months and they do that. So GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE and have the grace to think that we all nurture our children and teach them to have manners, but sometimes that is not enough. I mean REALLY? If you want to preach – go find a pulpit and get off this blog. Clearly you don’t dine at Eddies – the staff and other patrons look on with amusement and not disdane as my son “finds his voice”. I Love Eddies and appreciate the blog for giving them a shout out. Now – I better get there even earlier – the secret is out of the bag!
I personally like to let my 7 year old sit at the bar and have a cocktail after she runs screaming through the restaurant, drawing on the walls with crayons and eating off of other people’s plates uninvited.In all seriousness, we have eaten at Eddies just about weekly for the past several years, and like many Charlotte families it is “our place”. We go there for a quick bite after ballet (also chocolate chip Mickey Mouse pancakes!) or on the weekends for breakfast…hint: go early or there will be a long wait.The children I have seen dining at Eddies are not animals, so you can feel safe taking your family there. Now the late night crowd…that might be another story
We Love Eddie’s and the Waitstaff always entertains the kids with fun talk, crayons, crackers, and such. Just a good place to go!!!
Guess what-my children were once 12months too and whe they became disruptive to those around us we left. It was simply out of common courtesy to those around us. Perhaps this is the reason that my children are well behaved and are respectful or maybe it was from always being “on my high horse”!
These comments are funny! What creative moms and with a sense of humor to boot! Lady high horse – I agree that you need to get off it. Ride your high horse on into the sunset! I just hate it when people are so judgemental. I am sure everyone thinks your kids are perfect and you are the perfect mom. I guess the flawed moms with less than perfect kids can belly up to the bar and share a tall one with their 7 year olds while their 1 year olds break the sound barrier! In all seriousness, wouldn’t it be nice if you could write this blog and people would take what you say with a preverbial grain of salt (if they do not agree 100%) instead of jumping all over you….you ladies have my respect for putting yourselves out there!
