Eagle's Restaurant

Eagle's Restaurant is a soul food restaurant at 2610 16th Street North in Acipco-Finley. It was opened in 1951 by W. M. Owens and his wife. He picked the name because he wanted the business to "soar like an eagle."

Owens retired and sold the business to Joseph Rucker in 1974. He, in turn, sold it to his son's mother, Delores Banks, in 1993.

Eagle's has been featured on the Travel Channel, on "Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations" in 2013 and "The Zimmern List" in 2018.
