Edisons' Launches New Restaurant Concept DIY Fixins Bar Combines Quick, Quality, & Affordable Creations
Edison's Entertainment Complex, now in its 12th year of operation, has come up with a new concept. The DIY Fixins Bar opened on Tuesday, November 7th in the space formerly used as Edison's dining room and will have a Grand Opening on Friday, November 17th at 4p hosted by the Edwardsville/Glen Carbon Chamber of Commerce. All items on the menu will be 50% off for all area chamber members from 4-7p to help celebrate the opening.
DIY Fixins Bar offers a quick serve model with a twist. Guests will order at a counter, be notified by text or pager when their food is ready and will get their meal at our pickup window. Here is where the twist comes in! DIY Fixins Bar offers a 24-item cold bar, 16-item hot bar, and a large complement of sauce and dry toppings to allow guests to create their own masterpieces. So, when you order your smashburger, it comes undressed, and you get to top it YOUR way.
In addition to smashburgers, the menu offers a variety of chicken sandwiches, salads, homemade soups, wings, Chicago Style dogs, pizza, sides and snack items much like you see on Edison's full-service menu. The menu has plenty of healthy choices along with fan favorites, and most items are designed to come out in 5-10 minutes. Most items range in cost from $4 to $14. DIY Fixins Bar will feature an All-You-Can-Eat Taco and Nacho Bar on Tuesdays and Unlimited Wings on Wednesdays. Both weekly specials will be $14.
DIY will operate 4-9pm Tuesday through Friday and 11:30-8pm Saturday and Sunday. Edison's regular, full-service menu will still be available Thursday through Sunday with food service opening daily at 11:30am. The new DIY space offers 60 seats plus our patio so guests can choose to stay and eat there, take their items to our seating in the arcade, or simply do carry out.
“The inspiration for the DIY Fixins Bar was driven by several things including the changing habits of our customers. We have several guests who just want to get food quick and not have a sit-down dining experience, and this concept serves that up for them. Quick service, with choices of where to eat and how to top their selections, makes it fun for our guests,” shared owner Matt McSparin. “The pickup area also provides a great place to accommodate online/to-go order pick-up which we will start offering in January as well,” added McSparin.
