Eddie's Place Restaurant

History

Eddie's Place Restaurant is a North Carolina award-winning neighborhood restaurant and bar. Established in the Cotswold area of Charlotte in 1997, employees worked out of the single location for 8 years. Then in 2005, in response to hearing mounds of positive feedback from their exceptionally loyal customers, Eddie's Place decided to branch out to a second location. The new Eddie's Place restaurant was opened in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte.
