The food was good, but then service was great.
Not even a single hint of rudeness, our tables waiter, Peachy, treated us with the utmost respect and clear passion for her job. :)

If you want some laughs you have to go to Ed's
We loved going there 30 years ago & were so sad when it closed. Now, going back to the new one was wonderful. They didn't miss a beat. Spike made it just as wonderful as we remembered it to be. I think the various costumes will only add to
The place had a fun 50s ambience to it.
The waiters give lots of attitude and are dressed to theme which makes for an entertaining time. They dance every hour or so for everyone to watch which is another fun addition. The food was just fine but it's a great experience!

Great place to start your day!
Had a great βsassy dinerβ experience here this morning. Topanga was my waitress and she played the role perfectly. She was quick-witted, playfully sharp tongued and lots of fun. (My heavy southern accent earned a reprimand for breaking the β
Fabulous
FABULOUS!!! Great food but goodness did we laugh!!! First visit and we will be back soon!! Smokestack was charming, erudite and magnanimous!
A touristy spot with many better, if different options, nearby.
Visited the new location 35 years after the first date with my wife at the original River North location. New spot maintains some of uniqueness that the original did, but in our opinion overemphasizes the "rush you in-an-out servers with attitu

Connect with users posting reservations for Ed Debevic's Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Ed Debevic's Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Ed Debevic's Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Ed Debevic's Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CompellingStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CompellingStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CompellingStation67 for any questions Peter may have as CompellingStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CompellingStation67 now uses their connections at Ed Debevic's Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CompellingStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CompellingStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CompellingStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Ed Debevic's Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
