There were several to choose from even a fun looking rainbow bagel. I got the bacon, egg & cheese on asiago bagel and loved it. My husband really enjoyed his ham, egg & cheese on a plain bagel. They make them to order, no prepared egg patty (yay!), so it took a couple of minutes which I'd wait double the time for if needed. There is a large fridge section of specialty beers & wines. I enjoyed checking them out while I waited. There are also several cozy seating options that looked inviting to post up for hours doing work or enjoying time with others. There are a few tables out front too. I'd definitely go back when in the area and hope to one day try their lunch specials too.

I ordered an iced latte without sweetener. It wasn't as smooth as I was hoping. I went back a second time and I ended up ordering a latte with sugar free caramel, which was much better.

During my second visit, I opted for the banana muffin and it was just as delicious. The staff is also really friendly and coffee is made quick.

I've been coming to Freddy's here in Tuscaloosa since it first opened, and while I've always had…read moresolid experiences, today was by far the best visit yet. I ordered the Freddy's Original Double, which I've had plenty of times before, but today it just hit different. The burger was cooked perfectly--fresh off the grill, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The toppings were spot on and balanced just right. When a burger is dripping with juices as you bite into it, you know it's done right. Nobody wants one of those dry, Sahara-desert burgers where you need a sip of water after every bite. This one definitely wasn't that. If the burgers are cooked like they were today every time, this place would be slam packed 24/7. The service was great too--quick turnaround, friendly smile at the register, and good food on a Sunday afternoon after church. I also noticed a Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich on the menu that looks like it might be fire, so I'll definitely be back soon to give that one a try. Great job today, Freddy's. Keep turning out burgers like that and you'll keep me coming back.

The service was, unfortunately, nonexistent…read more We stopped in about an hour before closing, so there was still plenty of time to order. If it had only been a few minutes before closing, we never would have gone in. When we walked in, the two employees behind the counter immediately seemed annoyed that customers had arrived. We stood at the front counter waiting to order for about 15 minutes. During that entire time, neither employee acknowledged us, made eye contact, or even said they'd be with us shortly. Instead, they slowly walked around, appearing visibly irritated and mumbling under their breath. I kept thinking someone would eventually help us, but after waiting that long without even being acknowledged, we finally left and went somewhere else. I was honestly shocked because I've never experienced service like that before. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food since we never even had the opportunity to place an order.

The black drip cofffee is... cheap and bitter. Like, the cheapest hospital coffee you've ever had. I'm somewhat of a coffee snob, and I don't drink any fru-fru drinks. When you're speaking of coffee, it is 100% about the beans. And without sugar or fat, the drink stands alone. I won't be back. If you like sugary concoctions, I'm sure it's fine.... It's really more of a drive-thru kinda place anyway. I cannot comment on the food, or the sugary drinks.

Decent cookies but they had rainbow "pride" cookies on display when I went in. I don't see why…read moresomeone felt the need to bring the topic of s*xual identity and who you're s*xually attracted to into a place where families are supposed to be able to go in and enjoy an innocent treat with their children. These cookies were placed directly at the checkout register right at a child's eye level. I just don't see why cookies had to be s*xualized. Pride is fine and all (for consenting adults), but that is not the proper environment for it nor do people enjoy it constantly being forced in their children's faces without their consent. Also, the cookies are a little thin - they need to be thicker for the price they are charging.

All of the staff have been super friendly (but they wear these weird red polos that look very corporate, would look better in T-shirts to fit in with the campus/student aesthetic). I love the location because I can easily get drinks around class. One aesthetic I would change is the Coke cooler on the counter- it looks misplaced and unprofessional. My main complaint is that nothing matches properly. An interior designer carefully crafts the look of the display cases, counters and setup behind the bar and with the menus, but they go and add a Coke fridge and red polos? Just pick something that's more cohesive.
