Worst restaurant I have ever been to – I had the misfortune of going to this dump back in 1993. I was part of a high school art class (who didn't care about the Art Institute at all) on a field trip. "Gotta go to Ed's! Gotta go to Ed's!" they kept screaming. My only choice was to stick with the group, so we walked umpteen blocks in the cold to "Ed Debevic's". Apparently, they all knew about its "shtick" but I didn't. It was a long day and I just wasn't even hungry. So we went in there and good grief. I thought I had walked i... read more

Great experience all around!! – We had sassy service, which is even better when you are quick witted enough to comment back to the waitstaff. Anyone who doesn't appreciate the idea behind this resaurant is probably old enough to be put in a nursing home, because it is for the hip, young and energetic. I recently turned 22, and went with my 45 year old mother and we had a blast!! On top of the fun experience with the service, the food was great, and we were nothing short of entertained. I definitely recommend going whlie in C... read more

Worn out schtick and cruddy food. – What was once clever and well-produced diner-sass is now lame, forced, unfunny attitude. If you like moronic screaming and dismissive wait staff, then this is your place. There really is no reason to waste money on below average food served by Columbia College rejects. Avoid the "Pulled Pork Sandwich" like your life depends on it......because it just might!

You have to be kidding :-( – The loud verbal assault by the barman at least got the hostess to get us a table, however being purposely ignored by every waitresses was too much to bare, definitely not the place for kids (unless they enjoy watching a barman getting knocked out). Avoid like the plague.

Can I give this place less than 1 star? Anyone giving it more than a zero, they work there and are saving their jobs. – The place is the worst. The people working there are total tampons. The people that eat there only go once for the nostalgia... what a shame to burn your hard earned money eating cardboard.

Not my cup of tea...... – I have been there a few times and I honestly have not enjoyed one thing I ever ordered on the menu. The kids like it, they get a kick out of the wait staff and costumes. But I even felt that they were a little too rude, they got my order wrong one time and they were so nasty about fixing it! I understand that they put on a show for everyone but come on it is still a restaurant and I still expected much, much better service and food for the cost.

Funny, rude wait staff, it is part of the ambience – The food is so, so, particularly on a busy night. The ambience is fun and lively. Waiters are wise cracking and intentionally rude, but that is part of the fun. It can be quite crowded and they don't take reservations, so get there early.

I got burned on my credit card – These guys charge you 20% extra on your credit card without any authorization. What a bunch of snakes. Crumby food, terrible service, over priced and they are trying to cheat people. Thieves.
