Papa’s Famous Homemade Sauce
Eddie’s famous spaghetti sauce originated in my grandfather’s kitchen in
Rome, NY in the 1930s. The recipe, which began on a small stovetop, has
now grown to be prepared in a 60 gallon steam kettle twice a week. To this
day only the Stewart family men prepare the sauce.

“The Playground of Central New York”
When evening fell on Sylvan Beach, Hollywood stars would light up the nightlife. In the 1940’s and 50’s, many bignamed entertainers would play to crowds at the once popular Russell’s Danceland and other resort hotels on the
lake. Eddie’s Restaurant was at the center of it all.
Through the years many celebrities had the pleasure of dining at Eddie’s including Frank Sinatra, the Ink Spots,
Harry James, Dagmar, Desi Arnaz, Nat “King” Cole, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Liza Minnelli, as well as Hall of
Famers George Foreman and Jim Boeheim. Most recently it was rumored that Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody
has been spotted at Eddie’s, too.

FLORENCE (FIFI) STEWART
How It All Began ★
It all began in 1934 with a hot dog stand and Eddie Stewart Sr.’s desire to take in the sunshine and be close to
to their hearts on the shore of beautiful Oneida Lake.
There was something about that modest, eight-stool stand. Whether it was the
mouth-watering hot dogs, the beach-sized appetites, or Sr.’s million-dollar smile,
the people just kept coming.
As summers passed, the menu and clientele grew. The birth of Eddie’s signature
dish, the “Original Hot Ham Sandwich”, is said to have happened quite by accident—
customers would probably call it serendipity. One busy summer’s day, Eddie Sr. ran
out of hot dogs. Knowing he had to feed the hungry tourists something, he whipped
said the people fell in love with “The Hot Ham Sandwich.” They just kept coming
back for more.
EDDIE STEWART, JR
The quaint stand developed into a busy restaurant, popular with not only families
but also famous stars. In it’s heyday, the big band sounds of Glenn Miller and Duke
Ellington culd be heard from the popular nightclub, “Russell’s Danceland,” and
stories of celebrity sightings at Eddie’s abound. Back then a relatively unknown
singer named Frank Sinatra patronized Eddie’s. After performing he would purchase
legendary icons who have passed through Eddie’s doors include the Ink Spots,
Harry James, Nat “King” Cole, Desi Arnez, Dagmar, The Dorsey Brothers, Liza
Minnelli, and George Foreman.
childhood memories were made and family traditions built. Genuine hospitality and
culinary delights have made Eddie’s Restaurant an integral part of the Sylvan Beach
experience. A day at “The Beach” was never complete without a stop at Eddie’s.
Today, longtime customers return for that nostalgic experience, sharing the good times
with their children and grandchildren.
LESLIE STEWART
Eddie’s is a tradition behind the counter as well. Employees, past and
present are better known as members of the Eddie’s family, with some
serving up smiles for a decade or more! Sometimes the lineage spans
three generations, with grandmothers, mothers and granddaughters all
at one time wearing an Eddie’s apron.
The Stewart children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren have all
worked at Eddie’s. Eddie’s is now owned and operated by the third
generation, Edward R Stewart III. “Rick” has strived to keep the “Eddie’s Restaurant” experience as it was in
the beginning and has been for generations. He is commited to carrying on the legacy started by his grandparents,
THE EXTENDED FAMILY
likely to see Eddie Jr. and Leslie visiting with customers as well as Rick’s kids Eddie IV and Emily, his sister
Alison, nieces Ava and Ania, and cousins Tiamo and Damiano all working or waiting their turn.
While much has changed at Sylvan Beach over the years, there’s still one constant— a modest, yet extraordinary
place called “Eddie’s.” Maybe it’s the homemade cream pies, seafood, Italian specials or “Original Hot Ham
Sandwich.” It could be the friendly staff or nostalgic reminders of a simplier time. Whatever is behind the magic
of Eddie’s, the Stewart family hopes you enjoy your stay at Sylvan Beach and take
home memories to last a lifetime. Pull up a seat; you’re home at Eddie’s!
