If you have not eaten here lately, I suggest you do so. Food is amazing. People are down to earth. Except the Georgia fan. She's just confused. It's all good though. It's for the great experience y'all, Roll Tide.

Wanted to get out of cooking my dinner sides. Came here, tasted the dressing, and walked out with two containers. Serve was ok. Tried to create small talk with cashier, but she was more interested in talking to another coworker. Will be back. Food looked delicious, and the dressing was amazinnnnnng

I came in late that day around New Years Day for some traditional New Year food. I was warmly welcomed in by the staff and I let them know I was coming in from out of town. All I could say is this was the best southern experience I’ve had. I shared a conversation about our child being teens with the young lady at the register like we knew each other. Oh an the food Lord all I can say we didn’t have to addd NOTHING! No salt nothing everything was seasoned to the T. I got extra sides of the Mac n Cheese and I got squash and it was seasoned. What I regret not getting enough was the yams. My daughter said we have to stop in and get us some soul food every time we come this way. An I Agree!

Walk into Ed’s and you are greeted with a welcome. The food is delicious and so many choices. I use to go to Ed’s in phoenix city- so glad he is in Columbus and right around the corner from where I live. Again the food and hospitality is “GREAT “. Highly recommend.

Ed’s has been a family favorite for many years! We often stop in to pick up food to go, even to take with us to the ATL. The staff are always friendly and food portions are generous. The selection of desserts are always tasty!

The fact that I’m going out of my way to leave a review should tell you everything because I never do this LOL this food was incredible! SO delicious! My husband had the fried chicken and I had the pork chop! It was so delicious! We got collards, cabbage, mash potatoes, and Mac and cheese. We just really loved our dinner! OH and the cornbread! It was so moist; I have never had such good cornbread! The lady’s and staff were very friendly! This was BETTER than miles to go!! Great prices too! Thanks for dinner! We’ll be back!

This is one of our favorite places to eat. It’s cafeteria style of all good home made food. The candied yams are one of my favorites and on Thursdays the pot roast is almost as good as mine. love the baked chicken mashed and gravy. Home made Mac n. Cheese. Heck it’s all delicious!
