Eddies Place Restaurant   

There's a real Danny (he owns Hotel Charlotte next door), and a real Eddie (he's the friendly guy who clearly knows all the regulars), which is probably why this simple, casual Sharon Amity/Cotswold eatery has a friendly, neighborhood feel. Part pub, homey breakfast joint, kid-friendly local hangout and low country restaurant, this eatery is many things to many Charlotteans. Inexpensive and with a smallish but crowd-pleasing menu (hot dogs, fat subs, fried oysters, po' boys, onion rings, gumbo, pasta), Eddie's Place offers big breakfasts in the morning and live music when the sun goes down. A comfortable spot where reservations are neither needed nor accepted, Eddie's Place makes up for in neighborhood popularity what it lacks in decor. A city favorite for brunch and breakfast, the joint also serves a mean cup of she-crab soup, a menu item some call the best soup in all of Charlotte.
