It's February 14th 2024, my 40th Birthday and my Family and I decided to check out Eddie's Famous Cheesesteaks located in the heart of the Downtown Akron Ohio. I knew about this cheesesteak shop because I have picked up several orders there when I was door dashing and the food smelled amazing. We stepped into Eddie's and they had Valentines decorations all over their shop which was pretty cool and they were also celebrating 30 years of being in service, which is a really great achievement. Before we got up to the counter to order our food we were greeted by a guy who was handing out free bottles of Norka Soda which I was told was an Akron Ohio staple. Plus the restaurant was also handing out free cupcakes all to celebrate for Valentine's Day. We ordered several different subs, I had The Eddie which is the Original sandwich offered by Famous Eddie's Cheesesteak, it's loaded with their seasoned cute fries and packed with a pound & half of cheesesteak nirvana. Our cheesesteaks were all full of flavorful yummy tasting goodness. The only thing is I wished the cheese was more melted and blended with the meat better but other than that it was a solid tasting sandwich. The best park of our visit was when the owner of Eddie's came out to greet us and he gave a some free swag which was two Famous Eddie's T-shirts. We took our food home to eat it and it was delicious.

Whether you go to the store on Main St or go to their ever adventuring food truck… You will be met with a busy but very friendly person who is ready to take your order and have it ready in a timely manner. Once you eat here.. you will want to make it a habit to go often. The fries are perfectly seasoned and delicious and the sandwiches are incredibly good.. Best steak sandwich around! (chef’s kiss)

If you're in downtown you must visit Eddie's. Every item on the menu is a 10/10 along with the friendly service they provide. I pickup here weekly and yet it keeps me coming back for more. Thank you for the great food!!! Joe B

Just started working in downtown Akron and found this gem of a place a block away from my office. Killer Cheesesteaks and the best fries around. Fun atmosphere, awesome staff, and amazing house made sauces. I'm literally here at least once a week for lunch now, if not more.

We needed a quick bite before a concert nearby, and found Eddie's almost at random. The menu is beautifully simple - a half is $7, whole is $12, regardless of chicken or steak, regardless of "recipe" sandwiches or "build your own". The food was ready VERY quickly, and it was great. Recommended.

Josh Kass

What can I say... This side of Philly, it's about as good as it gets. Great customer service, fun place to eat, and the cheese steaks are among the best out there. Not that weird frozen meat taste, but high quality beef. So yourself a flavor and check em out.

Tom Shondel

Best cheesesteaks hands down! If you're lucky enough to catch one of their popup stops near you, I highly recommend you check them out, you will not be disappointed. Oh, and don’t forget to try the kicked up ketchup with the fries, you can thank me later.
