Our story

Eddington's first opened its doors in the Twin Cities area across from Dayton's Department Store in downtown Minneapolis, in August of 1981. The first Eddington's was located on the second floor of a Marv Wolfenson building above the old "PARIS" Beauty Salon. It was not easy to find the single door leading to the new restaurant, and when people found it they had to climb two flights of stairs to reach it. As one customer said, "Its hard to find, but that just makes it all the more chic." Eddington's is the common last name of sisters who helped develop the recipes and decorate each store.

​

Eddington's was a raging success from the beginning with their healthy alternative to typical restaurant fare. Over the years, Eddington's has continued to offer its customers good, healthy food while maintaining the pace of a fast food restaurant. With so many choices (including gluten free and vegetarian options), a range of serving sizes (single to platter), and personable service our customers really feel like they are "coming home."
