Lee Ann, Amanda, and I went across the river to Fast Eddies. Amanda's parents live on the Illinois side and I have visited a few times Alton/Godfrey Illinois. Everyone in St. Louis knows about Fast Eddies and I have always wondered why. First, it's a bikers bar and man was it was HUGE. I sat down at a table and here's how it went:
Waitress: "What drink would you like?"
Me: "Water"
Waitress: "That's not an option. There are signs posted everywhere that says you have to order a drink."
Me: "I don't want a drink, can I not get water?"
Waitress: Shakes head no
Me: "Umm...I guess tea."
The waitress comes back with the Lipton tea in a bottle.
Me: "Can I get a water now?"
Waitress: Eyes Rolling "That drink is $2.50"
Me: "I'm going to order something to eat."
Needless to say, I didn't know anything about this place. You pay for your drinks at the table, you get your own popcorn, and you go order at a counter. You have to look for your number because you have to come pick it back up but the wait was 30 minutes. I did finally get my water, but I did have to ask several times. Lesson learned: Don't ask for water at Fast Eddies and bring cash!
Because I can, I'm adding Alton/Godfrey Illinois as a city--it's a differnet state!
