A few months ago we were approached by an up-and-coming business called Spot On; we weren't sure what it was, or how it worked, but we decided to go ahead and see what they had to offer. Turns out, Spot On is a free-to-use loyalty program for businesses! Once a business signs up, any customer that downloads (to a smart phone) or activates a card can use Spot On at any business that has Spot On!
What exactly does that mean? It means, that if your two favorite/most visited places is your local hair salon and your favorite restaurant, and both of them have Spot On, you only have to create an account once, but get to enjoy the benefits from both places! All you have to do is scan your personal QR code, and once that is done you will earn a spot! Earn enough spots and you'll receive something for free!
For example, when you visit Edwards and check in with your smart phone or card via Spot On, you earn a spot. Once you have earned 5 spots, you get a Free Combo Upgrade with Sandwich Purchase! When you earn 20 spots, you get a $25 gift card!
And the best part? Once you create a free Spot On account, you don't have to make another one regardless of how many places you want to use it! With one account you can earn spots at your favorite restaurant, hair salon, mechanic, and grocery store!
Definitely check it out!

Man vs. Food, Adam Richman, and Edwards Drive In
About two years ago something amazing happened for us here at Edwards - Man vs. Food came to Indianapolis and did a showcase of our restaurant!
We all had a lot of fun working with Adam, and we were super excited for the opportunity that it presented us! The show aired in the early fall of 2010, and the boost in business was atomic! We sold so many tenderloins that we were frying them up as soon as they were breaded!
Shortly after the MVF hype died away, an idea was formed; that idea quickly turned into a reality and the Dashboard Diner was born!
The Dashboard Diner hit the road just before the great city of Indianapolis hosted Super Bowl XLVI, and we were honored to take part in feeding the crowds upon crowds of people down on the circle! Not to long after the Super Bowl, we realized that we had something magical on our hands - the food truck was becoming an entity on its own, and it gave us the opportunity to get our name out there even more!
Nearly two years after Adam was here, he returned! After a couple of conversations, a plan was made, and we created this:

All in all, it was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun making this giant tenderloin for Adam! We hope that those of you that got a taste enjoyed it! Remember - you can always stop by our drive-in at Sherman and Raymond streets or visit the Dashboard Diner to get one for yourself!
Events this week:
Thursday 5/30/2013 - Dashboard Diner at Klipsch Music Center for Tim McGraw Concert!

Welcome and Summer Time
Good morning! This blog is a new venture by us here at Edwards, and we hope that those of you that read it find it entertaining and informative of our upcoming events. I'll do my best to have a post up here at least once a week, but I'm willing to bet there will be more than that!
It seems like just yesterday we were just starting this adventure, and now fifty-five and a half years later, we're still at it - just as strong if not stronger! I can hardly believe that it has been nearly 56 years that we have been in business...it is an achievement I'm proud of!
Summer always brings a boom in business for us, and this year should prove no different! Our mobile food platform, the Dashboard Diner food truck, marks its second summer in operation this year, and it is booked nearly every weekend in June with events! We love the excitement and rush that operating the truck brings - it not only helps us get our name out there, but it also allows our employees to do something different.
Yesterday, we got to be a part of the Indy 500 Festival Parade - which we love to do! The crowd was great and we had a lot of fun! We look forward to it every year, and we had a lot of fun this year!
Summer is upon us, and we look forward to everything that it will bring! Remember - we offer full curb service, just pull up and one of our lovely ladies will help you out! We also have shakes, malts, and sundaes - not to mention our amazing homemade root beer!
We hope to see you soon!
