When evening fell on Sylvan Beach, Hollywood stars would light up the nightlife. In the 1940s and 50s, 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.

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
the water. Together with his wife and Eddie’s Restaurant cofounder, Florence (Fifi), they chose a location dear 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 up
one of his and Fifi’s favorites, grilled capicola ham on a seeded roll. Eddie Sr. said the
people fell in love with “The Hot Ham Sandwich.” They just kept coming back for more.
The quaint stand developed into a busy restaurant, popular with not only families
but also famous stars. In its heyday, the big band sounds of Glenn Miller and Duke
Ellington could 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 a nickel candy
bar, sit curbside and watch the traffic on Main Street. Crooner Louis Prima spent one
afternoon cooking his own spaghetti while serenading Fifi. Other 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.
Throughout the years, Eddie’s has been the place where summer romance flourished,
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.

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 too. Carrying on the legacy
is son Eddie Jr.; his wife, Leslie; grandson Rick (Edward III); granddaughter Alison; and great grandchildren Edward
IV, Emily, Ava, and Ania.
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 simpler 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!
