Eddie’s Drive In Macomb County Favorite Car Hop All Set For New Season
Eddie’s Drive-In Macomb County favorite car hop announces the opening date for the new 2025 season!
No Foolin’, Opening day will be Tuesday, April 1st. Let’s hope the weather cooperates so we can enjoy another great season at Eddie’s. Let the countdown start!
11th Season For Eddie’s Drive-In
Owner Sharyl Dawn purchased the car hop on May 9th, 2014. Sharyl says to mark your calendars for April 1st for an 11th-anniversary celebration! Along with some surprises, maybe some Friday movie nights, Spirit Days, Car shows and much more.
Bit Of Eddies History
The idea of Eddie’s Drive-In is a ’50s car hop revival restaurant started by the original Eddie & Mary Catherin in 1987 when Eddie’s Drive-In became a real car hop with old-fashioned food. It’s a family place to take the kids for an ice cream treat. Even natural roller skating car hop waitresses roll up your window to take your order. Sharyl Dawn took control and has run it since 2014.
The menu is just what you remember a car hop would serve… hotdogs, corn dogs, fries, and a nice mug of root beer. Eddie’s signature dish is the “BIG Ed’s Burger,“ which is 1/3 pound of ground round beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, and Eddie’s favorite sauce.
Yes, The Almost Famous Screamin Burger Will Be Back
The “Screamin Burger” was introduced 7 years ago when the owner, Sharyl Dawn, asked me to design a signature burger from Screamin’ Scott. It’s a 1/3 pound of ground round beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, thick onion rings, and the famous Ed sauce with some Sriracha hot sauce. The “Screamin’ Burger” is a hit every season!
Question: Will WCSX‘s Screamin Scott put on his roller skates for another try at being a car hop host? As of press time, Screamin’s insurance is up to date, but his Cardiologist has put a limit on burgers this season. Eddie’s does have some healthy alternatives to munch on, so don’t worry about Screamin.
Eddie’s Drive-In owner Sharyl Dawn’s idea was to have me on roller skates for an afternoon. Let’s film an episode of Hey Screamin’ Try This! I came prepared with my Eddie’s Drive-in t-shirt and slacks. My worn-torn Riedell roller skates are the same skates I used in the 80s. The best part is after 3 hours of work, I retired with a couple of screamin’ burgers for Will Spurrier and myself—special thanks to Sharyl Collins and the staff on such a beautiful day. And be a part of Eddie’s Drive-In crew for just a few fun hours. Enjoy Hey Screamin’ Try This Episode With Macomb County Famous Eddies Drive-In.

Screamin's Top 6 Favorite Midnight Snacks
Midnight Snacks #1 TACOS
Good friend, Brian Paul Ermoyan, agrees with me as you can never go wrong with a Taco. Think of this, have you ever seen somebody sad with a taco? Never in my life have I ever cried over a taco. An excellent choice for a Midnight Snack is tacos.

Midnight Snack #2 Leftover Pizza
Leftover Pizza
The minute you open the fridge your eyes will be laser-focused on a box of PIZZA. The gamble is always when you open the box to see how many slices are left in the box. Anything more than 2 slices is a win in my book. Never have to worry about brands when it comes to Midnight Snacks. Unless there is a name on the box. That’s the only common rule to follow. Don’t be that person who disregards the holding pizza note and eats it anyway. Unless you leave your own note with a promise to replenish the slices taken. There is always leftover pizza around the WCSX studios.
Midnight Snack #3 Lasagna
Home Made Lasagna
Once you start Midnight Snacks you can’t stop. Lasagna is liquid gold at Midnight. Nothing fills that space in your stomach more than Lasagna hot or cold. Sometimes they say it tastes even better the next day. Midnight is the next day, right?
Midnight Snack #4 Salad
Just a Salad
Ha! Just kidding you, nobody eats a salad at Midnight. Go to #5
Midnight Snack #5 Cookies
Midnight Snack Delicious Cookies
Midnight Snacks also include a sweet tooth and cookies hit the spot. Wash it down with ice-cold milk and you will know why Santa loves it so much.
Midnight Snack #6 Favorite Breakfast Cereal
Who says you have to eat cereal just at breakfast? Midnight snacks must include cereal. The only thing missing is cartoons. When all else fails at the fridge, there is always the midnight snack of champions. Nothing is more satisfying than a large bowl of your favorite cereal. Or even better treat yourself to your kid’s cereal. They’ll never know because they should be fast asleep.
