Ed’s Place

Unfortunately I never got a chance to eat here because I walked in at 4:30 and it closes at 5. Very interesting place. I’m sure there is a story why the Christmas decorations are still up in the middle of April.

Holy heart attack on a bun! This is the best burger we have had in a bar hands down… and we’ve tried a few. The double is the only way to go although it may be hard to finish and walk out on your own! The burgers are huge. They are so fresh. They get fresh ground meat daily and all their veggies are crispy and cold. The beers are frosty cold and cheap. The service is great. The regulars will never let you «in» no matter how many times they see you which is A-​OK with me. I like being stared at. It can get super busy so be prepared to wait. It’s worth it.

Walking into Ed’s Place is like taking a step back in time. In fact, my grandfather used to hang out here back in the day. I think some of the same wall art is still there.
The burgers here are unmatched. Fresh, hot and made to order, this is old-​school, small town cuisine that reminds you that life is too short to settle for some fast-​food drive-​through burger wannabe.
Their KISS approach (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is refreshing. Short menu, cash only, friendly service and reasonable prices make the quirky vintage atmosphere that much sweeter.
Come in, take a load off, and enjoy great food and good company. You owe it to yourself to experience this little salute to days gone by.

So there’s this little hole in the wall place that’s very easy to miss behind Louie Mueller BBQ that I’ve always considered eating at, but never have, until today. I love our bbq, but when you eat it ⁵⁄₇ days of the week, sometimes you crave something different. It’s called Ed’s Place. If you drive by, you may think they’re closed. It’s a bar inside, they serve burger and sandwiches, chips, and beer/​alcohol. That’s about it. They only accept cash. But this cheeseburger… is one of, if not the best I’ve had. I’d put it in my top 3 with Top Notch and In n Out, only cheaper! $ 4.75 (that’s including tax) for a giant, fresh, hot burger. I just wish I had given it a chance sooner!
I just finished the whole thing (that hardly happens with me and any food, usually resulting in leftovers) and want another. I will refrain from being a fat kid, but I will be returning!

I always noticed the backside of the cool old building that houses Ed’s Place (with it’s great vintage sign touting burgers) whenever I would eat at Mueller’s which is in the adjoining lot. I finally went in last week and what a surprise!
The place is true old-​school in it’s look and the way the owner runs it. My girlfriend and I sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by longtime employee Kathye. The place was originally a family owned bar (beer only) for many years, then the current owners father decided to put in a grill after his local favorite burger joint closed down. Now his son (David) owns the place and has kept it pretty much like it was when opened way back when. The have a GREAT cheeseburger, made to order, and the meat has a wonderful peppery smell/​taste. Huge bonus points for them grilling the buns along side the meat!!! They don’t serve fries, but do have a nice selection of chips. They also have a great selection of value-​priced icy cold beer to go along with the meal. They also offer several other items on the menu.
There are many old fixture to look at that are hanging all over the place, and especially funny are the witticisms tacked up behind the bar from David the owner like, «Buy Two, Get Them Both!» Super cool story about the huge mural painted on the inside brick wall way back in the early 1900’s! They also have a KILLER jukebox loaded with many old-​school country favorites like Gary Stewart, Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams, Charlie Pride, and more. There are even a few classic rock cds for the younger crowd.
The staff (David and Kathye) could not have been more friendly as they told many stories about the history of the place and the regulars that come there. Best of all was when I asked about their hours, and the owner handed me his card and said, «best call first to make sure I’m not out fishin’»…
Will be going back very soon!

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot from all over the world. Great dive bar. One of those places you walk in to and everyone looks at you. Funny.

Ed’s is so popular it doesn’t need Unilocal to like it.
Best burgers around and the kind of place that is honestly too cool to be reviewed if you just don’t know.
Eat a burger, drink a beer, watch a football game and pay homage, people.

I have only been to this place once so far. It was early winter at night. The place was packed and I have to assume that they were regulars as everyone seemed to know everyone else. I had a cheeseburger and some beers, and the prices were reasonable. The hamburger was greasy and good, but not near as good as Ferrari’s. This place is much more of a bar than Ferrari’s though, so its not really a fair comparison in that regards. Like many places in Taylor, they do not take credit cards so bring cash.
