Ed's Restaurant

Thank goodness my Brother lives in Destin and invited us here the day we left for home from the beach. This place is classic Americana! Their burgers could compete for best burger in the USA and probably win. Just perfection with every bite! Thanks Ed! The chocolate peanut butter milkshake with hot fudge sauce was a little over the top!!!!

Had dinner here on a long road trip. Don't waste your time looking around the menu...order the burger that has the local, fresh, never frozen beef. Excellent. Madison was our server...excellent. Guided us on a path to great choices!

For home cooking, you can’t beat Ed’s! The portions are generous and tasty, not to mention freshly made. I especially recommend the lunch specials (meat + 3), cornbread and desserts. Breakfast is made to order and plentiful. This is a classic home town diner, so don’t expect luxurious surroundings, just good food and super friendly staff.

Great food. Very busy for a small diner but the food was great. I highly recommend their "Pub burger". Also had the BLT and Fish (Cod) sandwich which were very good. The milkshakes were also great. We will definitely be stopping here again when we pass through.

It's not pretty. But don't let the looks fool you. The pub burgers and fries are great. Great place for lunch.

Great little restaurant. The cheesepubbuger was delicious. Service was fast. French fries was hot. I highly recommend.

A Defuniak Springs tradition, Ed's is an old school "hamburger joint." However, they do offer breakfast and meat & 3 for lunch. The burgers are fantastic & you don't want to miss the onion rings. Save room for a shake...you won't be disappointed!

A great place to eat! The staff was amazing and the food comes out quick nice and fresh and authentic also is very kid friendly for the picky eaters and a really cool historic restaurant

We just got home from ed s.and first time thr my wife and I was shocked.swear to GOD,best cheeseburger we have had since 1982 from Elmer's in wyandotte.
Michigan. We can't wait to get thr for breakfast.p.s. wife loved banna shake. Can't stop mouth from watering.

Recommend by a friend. Stopped in for lunch to visit during a trip. He wasn't wrong. Great burgers. BLT wasn't bad either.

As we were driving towards Defuniak Springs on our way down I-10 we were hungry and ready to stop for a bite to eat. So I looked up restaurants and it's my habit to search for unique one of a kind places. I found Ed's, Home of the famous Pub burger. So off to Ed's we went. Our server Trela was wonderful and explained about the Pub burger and other things we were interested in on the menu. ALL sounded delicious! My husband settled on the Pub Burger with cheese and a side of fries. I chose the half Chicken with huge pieces!! A breast, thigh, leg and meaty wing with fries, "yummy" coleslaw (I'm super picky about coleslaw!) and dinner roll. I had their coffee which was also VERY good!! It's not often I find a really great cup of coffee at a restaurant. My husband had a coke which came with his Pub burger combo. Trela took very good care of us and was wonderful to share the history of Ed's with us! We left there happy and quite full! I had leftovers from the chicken which was still delicious hours later when I ate a piece cold in the car. Yum!!
We will absolutely stop back to Ed's again in the future as we travel in that direction often!

What an amazing find. The food is amazing and the staff are friendly. I definitely recommend the Hot Bites, Bacon Cheese Fries and the Patty Melt!

The good is always good and the people are down home and ready to help you with anything! My pawpaw loved this place and it's still one of my favorites! I've dined in and grabbed at the window and I'm telling ya , it's a treat!

One of a kind burger and shake place that really satisfies your pallet. Large portions. Hamburgers and onion rings too fill your plate. Definitely worth the side trip in DeFuniak Springs, FL.

It was the wee dawn hours ushering in a Monday morning as we ambled along Interstate 10.
The sounds of the pavement passing under were giving way to the groaning sounds of hunger taking over.

As my Fav Fab One started looking online for a tasty oasis, I advised that I didn't want any 'Exit Food'. None of those cookie-cutter franchise food factories just off the I-10 for me.
Nearing a town with a name like DeFuniak Springs almost guaranteed we'd find the perfect place. And that is when she found Ed's...

The first thing I noticed when pulling into the parking lot was that Ed's has been in business since 1964. That's 58 years, folks!

Now there ain't nothin' fancy about Ed's. It's a simple shack with a sometime walk-up window, side by side outside bathrooms, slightly hazed over window filmed windows and plenty of time-honored scars. Right inside the door you see the sizzlin' flattop where all of the cooking creations come to life.

Moseying over to get our breakfast wishes was a girl named Micah. Turns out she was as unique as her name. Friendly and with a bit of fun she welcomed us in true Southern style. When visiting new places, that first contact with a local makes all the difference. Micah made us feel right at home.

Now remember, we're in Ed's for breakfast. It's roughly 8 am here, 9 where we live. Fab One and I keep flipping the two-sided menu over, and over. Lots of choices. Omelets. Pancakes. Eggs any way you like. And a mention about some mighty fine biscuits.

With a hint of mischief in her eyes, Fab One shyly says she's curious about Ed's signature Pub Burger. I glanced around over my shoulder at the sign outside. Sure enough, in big letters it proclaims, 'Home of the PUB BURGER'.

Giggling like two kindergarteners we wondered if Ed's would be willing to whomp up a couple of Pub Burgers while the sun was still waking up outside???
It was at this moment that Micah approached, pen & order paper in hand. Feeling like I was cheating on the breakfast gods I mustered the courage to ask Micah if hamburgers, no, Pub Burgers, could be in our near future? To our great amusement, she responded "Absolutely!"

I could see two girls flipping food, slicing and dicing over at the flattop. The clink of the spatula followed by sizzles and a tiny billow of smoke. This was the heart of Ed's.
It wasn't long before a wonderful beefy sweet aroma filled the air. Pub burger fueled whiffs teasing our tastebuds.

Micah marched towards our table with two plates destined for our palettes. And a basket of fries. It was true home-cooked goodness.
Golden buns with a shimmering glint of greasy yum oozing down.

I bit into a fry first. That crunch told me this breakfast 'lunch' bunch was a munching great hunch!
The burger before me was cut in half. Crispy curves of beef overhung the bun. American cheese filled those curves, cascading into cheesicle drips.

Taking that first bite of burger, I was in a very happy place. And so was that woman across the table from me! Can you picture a pickle puckering smiling face?
I was in the midst of pure greatness. Holding an 'all the way' burger that needed nothing else! Nothing. No added mayo. No ketchup. NOTHING.
A juicy patty of perfection lovingly wrapped in all the way WOW!
With a hint of that 'you know it' shiny good dripping down the hand.

By far a burger worthy of being in any PUB. Anywhere.
Perfect Ultimate Burger!

With the mischief that is me, I couldn't resist talking to the cook(s) responsible for this magical meal. I motioned at one of the cooks with a forefinger 'come here' wiggle. (The kind your mama would do when in trouble).
She had a look of 'Uh-oh' on her face as she sheepishly stepped over to me. I proceeded to sternly announce that she hit that burger OUT OF THE PARK! Followed by a whole lot of very sincere praise. Her face went from OMG to glee immediately! Her name is Caroline. As she glowed, she said that made her day. She advised her able co-cook was Sam. Both lovely girls.

Ed's. We thank you! And we'll hopefully see you again, soon!

Another awesome hole in the wall establishment that graces our area with awesome food, friendly people and wonderful service. We will be back, even if only for the best onion rings we've had in a decade.

I ALWAYS GET GREAT SERVICE AND FOOD here. Taylor is normally my waitress and is very Professional and kind. I've never had any problems with food or service other than I can't eat all my food. Pub Burgers are delicious. And again thanks to all who work there for y'alls hard work and great service. Thanks again to Taylor your Amazing and always cheerful.

Delicious burgers, sides, and ice cream. They also serve fried chicken and have daily lunch specials Monday-Friday. I had the patty melt with sour cream and chive fries and it was the best patty melt I've ever had. We can definitely see why Ed's is a local favorite.

This place is amazing!! Real hamburger and amazing fries. And the chocolate milk shake was the best I have had in a long time!!

Small town staple that has been here since people can remember. We love Ed's. From the food to the staff to the atmosphere. Great burgers, great milkshakes, great fries. Just great.
