Steady Eddy's Pumphouse

Yup! I'm back here.Although I am one for consistency and it usually bothers me when there is constant turnover, I must say I am never disappointed when it comes to this place and satisfying my crave to disregard slim hips!The food here is just good, fun, greasy diner type delicious. Crispiest onion rings I have ever had. They have gone up on the prices a bit (but who hasn't). They have this cool food truck style kitchen right there at the bar. Small space, so live music is usually just a solo artist. Downstairs is a cozy den type setting. Nice for sipping wine or bourbon, while chatting up with close friends. Outside patio is nice, with tall top tables and backyard is mostly used for corn hole competitions. Regulars are very serious about the game. Not sure what your definition of "steady" is, but mine is keep satisfying, never change, and always keep em' coming back. Y'all nailed it!

Small crowd the day after Christmas. I met my wife and youngest daughter, Katy, for lunch. I got a Bold Rock while I waited for them to arrive.We started with fried zucchini app. With horseradish sauce. This portion took quite a while to be served and the zucchini was still cold or at best room temperature even though the bread was fried. The temperature was a turn off for my wife and daughter which left most of the pile for me to eat. Tough start!For entrees Katy ordered a Turkey on croissant with fries, my wife got a chicken sandwich with fries and I ordered the meatloaf sandwich special with fried onions, mozzarella cheese and pickles with onion rings.My wife and daughter enjoyed their sandwiches but the fries were small portion. Usually Eddie's serves a larger portions that is borderline "too much", but on this occasion there was less than usual. My meal was great and the onion rings were enough to share with my wife and daughter. It appeared a newish cook was being trained which somewhat explains the lapses in portion and quality of the zucchini. "Steady Eddy's " is usually spot on, so I will consider this a "blip" on the many times we have ate here and will continue to frequent Eddie's for weekday lunches. Thanks!

Steady Eddy's is such a hidden gem in the town of Matthews! My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday midday after a morning roller skating sesh at the local skating rink. My friend had a hard time choosing what she wanted to order but she eventually settled on the 6 piece wings flavored in Dragon's breath (the hottest sauce they have!) and Mac n cheese. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak with Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious especially the Mac n Cheese. I still think about it days, weeks later. Drinks come in a can with a plastic cup filled with ice. The place is small with only a few tables on the inside, which makes it cozy and laid back. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Would recommend and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. In fact, I brought my husband here a few weeks after my first visit and he also gave them 5s.

After a week in touristy Myrtle Beach, this local haunt was just what we needed. Prompt, attentive, knowledgeable service - great wings (Black Magic & Garlic Parmesan) and Beer Mac & Cheese - happy to get a local beer (Wicked Weed Pernicious) but wish it could've been on tap instead of a can. Will definitely return if in the area!

I honestly believe the higher ratings are solely based on the camaraderie of the staff and the patrons mixed. This is definitely a dive and nothing more. There are no available draft beers only cans or bottle with the option served in a plastic cup. No frosted/cold glass shenanigans.You walk in immediately to a few tables, the bar, and open grill concept. In this instance the open kitchen was a God send because it solidified for me that I will not be back. I noticed our waitress eating a sandwich, clearing glasses and trash from tables, work the register, go into the restroom to toss her hair, and handle her phone along with others without EVER washing her hands and still serve food. I saw the cook wear the same pair of gloves to high five a customer, handle cellphone, and cook food on the grill. She NEVER changed them. All the food was very salty and pretty much inedible. Ordered two pump house burgers with onion rings, beer mac n cheese, and zucchini fries. The final nail in the coffin was the little baby bird like feather found fried into my zucchini fries. Maybe this was an off day.

On a quiet unassuming road in Matthews you may stumble upon a gravel parking lot that is home to Steady Eddy's Pumphouse, a charming family restaurant and neighborhood pub. The inside is small and feels like you are in a remote cabin but behind the main bar there are three large TVs for any sports viewing and there is a whole outdoor patio area where I am told they often have live music. I came in on a Tuesday so it was a relatively quiet night but the bar was full of regulars and I was promptly greeted upon entry. The food is for the most part your standard bar fair featuring a number of sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, and your favorite sides like Mac n cheese. My date has always raved about their Cuban sandwich claiming it is one of the best in the Charlotte area. Me personally I was in the mood for a burger. The double patty burger was juicy and the Mac and cheese was extra cheesy. From the charm to the food Steady Eddy's now has a special place in my heart. I will for sure be returning next time I am in the Matthews area.

Excellent everything. Best burgers (smash) best mac n cheese and coldest beer! Loved this little place!! Will go back every time we are in the area!! Wish they had an additional location 5 star every thing.

Best burgers!!! Just moved to the neighborhood and so glad we stopped in. We will definitely be back.

Good fun time with my son! what I would call the locals dive bar no frills, great service and really good food!

Very small place. Parking is dangerous pulling out. Small grill area has decent bar food however if they have people eating, food can take a while. Unfortunately they have jacked up the menu price's. It's now $17.00 for a cheeseburger. Crazy price increase for a little corner bar. We will find some where else to eat.
