Fast Eddy's Quick Mideast

The service was excellent as other reviewers have stated. I got the beef kofta kebab plate, which was serviced with grilled vegetables, pita, side salad of choice, and garlic sauce (or other sauce of choice). The beef was so flavorful and most. The char on the vegetables were excellent. The garlic sauce is also amazing when paired with the beef. Though, the beef and vegetables were a bit on the salty side. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the service and quality of food I received from Fast Eddy’s. They also serve solid looking sandwiches and soups that I would definitely come back and try one day.

Exceptional quality freshly made to order food. Some traditional Middle East dishes like tabbouleh and curry chicken, but also serves an awesome American burger, for example… Portions aren’t huge, but the burger is... Reasonably priced. Relaxed atmosphere. Staff seems to appreciate hard rock music. If that’s not your thing, try getting your food to go. We got unsweetened iced tea — pretty good stuff… They serve a limited selection of beer and wine— all reasonably priced… See photos for beer and wine selection. Clean bathrooms. Very friendly and very fast service.

Fast Eddy’s is one of those rare restaurants where the experience is every bit as memorable as the food. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and energetic, and it was obvious that the staff genuinely enjoy what they do. Our server, Justin, was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. He took the time to share the history of the restaurant, the family behind it, and the inspiration behind the menu, while offering thoughtful personal recommendations that made our first visit even better. Service was impressively fast without ever feeling rushed. My wife ordered the Beef Eddy, while I went with the Hammurabi Burrito, and we both chose the fattoush salad on the side. The food was exceptional. The Hammurabi Burrito is a brilliantly creative twist on Middle Eastern flavors—a massive tortilla packed with seasoned beef, biryani rice, French fries, pickles, sumac onions, garlic spread, and amba sauce, creating an incredible combination of textures and flavors in every bite. The Beef Eddy showcased the restaurant’s unique take on shawarma, with expertly seasoned beef and a perfect balance of fresh ingredients and house-made sauces. The fattoush salad was crisp, fresh, and the ideal complement to the richness of the main dishes. What impressed us most, beyond the delicious food, was the obvious pride and camaraderie among the staff. Seeing a team that genuinely appears happy to be there and enjoys working together is increasingly rare these days, and it made the entire experience feel authentic and refreshing. Fast Eddy’s isn’t just serving Middle Eastern and Mediterranean-inspired food—they’re putting their own creative, family-driven spin on classic flavors, and doing it exceptionally well. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommended.

Review To start, I’ll mention that we are from the Northern Virginia/DC area, which is known for a huge variety of high quality options across pretty much any cuisine you can think of, and, Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisines are one of our favorites across the board. My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick and easy meal with great flavor before we headed out of town this evening, and we stumbled across Fast Eddy’s Quick Mideast while we were looking for options in Jacksonville. We wanted to try something local that was a little more unique than the usual American fare and seafood around the area, and we found this AMAZING restaurant! Not only were all of the staff we met knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and extremely helpful, they also really made us feel at home after such a busy day of traveling. We loved the brief conversation and recommendations we got from Justin, who was just an absolute gem. We also loved the atmosphere - getting to have a view into the lively kitchen, listening to the staff talking back and forth as they worked on our dishes, and checking out the various rock and roll related posters and memorabilia occupied most our time that wasn’t involved with eating, and that was just perfect. We ordered the Tabouli salad, the Fattoush salad, the beef kafta kebob, the chicken kafta kebob, the beef tikka skewer, and the chicken tikka skewer, all highly recommended by Justin. The food came out quickly and literally everything was exceptionally delicious. We had such a lovely meal, and we kept saying to each other how fresh, delicious, and nutritious all of the food felt, and how we liked Fast Eddy’s even more than all of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern options we are used to frequenting back home. This place is incredible - it could give some of the best restaurants in NoVA a run for their money! If you haven’t eaten here yet, you should do so as soon as possible. The vibe, the people, and the food are just unmatched. Highly recommend on all accounts and we will be back the next time we’re in the area!
