I was a regular when they had a shop in Lincoln Park, so I was pretty excited they were opening a stall at Urbanspace in the Loop. But my trip was a dissippointment. Double cheeseburger was great. Garlic fries were weak. Not much garlic and seemed a bit stale. Also had a can of coke.

I went and got two tacos over the weekend from a neighborhood joint I typically really like. Not gonna name names at this point, but it's in the Lincoln Square/North center/ Lakeview area.
Two tacos, which weren't all that big, we're $13. No chips, no sides, no soda. And after tipping the workers a couple bucks, two small tacos were $15.
Now, in their defense (sort of), I added cheese, sour cream, and avocado... But these tacos were not overflowing with anything.
Food is fucking expensive now.

We’re back! Soft open today, limited menu. Paper still on the windows and we are throttling customer flow, but if you’re nearby, come eat!

Will check it out within a few weeks, a bit scared of getting throttled, though….

- It's all ordering off your phone - scan the QR code, place the order on your phone, pay, and then it pops up on a computer in the kitchen
- Once your food is done, they bring it out to your table (each QR code on the table corresponds with the table location)
- Food took about the same time to come out (10 mins, with the shakes coming pretty quickly)
- They've walled off most of the kitchen, given it a fresh coat of paint, etc. but you can still see the kitchen when you walk in
- No more fountain sodas - canned drinks, and cups for water with a spigot to serve yourself
- Most of the same menu items were available, and Eddie did share that by next week the menu should be at 100% (don't quote me on that)
- Fries come in two sizes - small and large. We shared a large Angry Fries and left some over
- Prices have increased - my single burger, my daughter's specialty burger (the 2x2 animal style), large fries, shake and a diet coke was about $35
- Food was great, everything seemed fresh
- Decent crowd with most people thanking Eddie for reopening, still some kinks to be worked out, but that's obviously expected after switching over to a new ordering system
- Also said the Burgers of the Month will be making a return
Wishing Eddie and Edzo's the best of luck!

Maybe there is another thread on this, but I heard Al’s Deli also has a Go Fund Me.

Erratic hours, much higher prices and not accepting cash seem to work against that goal.
