On our way North this was our first meal of the day. I had a simple cheese omelet. Oozing with American cheese throughout. It actually tasted buttery. I also wanted soup and it was vegetable beef. All canned veggies but I didn't care that broth was so good. A nice fresh brewed iced tea to wash it all down. Great service. The place to see and be seen in Mora. Loving these places we've never been. read more

Cute Scandinavian cafe with a cozy country feeling! Staff were friendly, accommodating, and provided great service. The food was delicious and satisfying. The pies are delicious - don't forget to try a slice or two!! We'll definitely be back! read more

Food was amazing and service was on point. Come hungry cause you'll leave full. The breakfast we had was amazing and this is my family's new place to stop and eat whenever we are in that part of town. read more

Great local mom and pop restaurant and banquet place. Great burgers and other items on the menu and all day breakfast!! Caring owners and a very clean place. This is our local "go to" restaurant in Mora!! read more

We were traveling through town and found them on YELP. Service was great! Food was fantastic! My husband had a 1/3 lb burger and I had an 8" taco pizza. Portions are generous. I couldn't finish mine and my husband sported the last bites of his burger. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Tried giving Freddie's another chance, I don't think ever again. Waiting for waitress over 10 min and the place was not busy, two other tables had customers. Again bad experience! read more

We rented the banquet room for a luncheon to celebrate and remember my dad, who passed away in December. We chose Mora as a general location since it's pretty much half way between Up North and The Cities. I started researching available space in the area and Mark was by far the easiest to work with and gave us the best quote. The space was perfect for what we needed, the food was outstanding, and we had the perfect level of service. We did the soup and salad buffet and people really were commenting on how good everything was- quality meats and cheeses, great soups made with fresh ingredients, and outstanding cakes. The room is nicely set up and it never felt overcrowded. I think we had about 80 people. All in all, the perfect venue for our needs. Can't say enough good things about the place, the staff, or the food. All was excellent. read more

In from Texas to visit my folks, etc. Reminder of the mom & pop restaurants of my youth. What Freddies may lack in high buck fanciness they make up for in friendliness, coziness, and tasty food! I got the country fried steak. It was better than the one I had on Monday in Texas! The hashbrowns with green peppers, onions, and cheese were pretty good. The pancakes were light and fluffy. I enjoyed my meal from start to finish. My mom enjoyed her Reubens and chicken dumpling soup. She even gotta quart to take home for dad. Fyi, Freddies also supports the local youth sports teams, which is great to see in today's world! read more

Freddies Restaurant & Take-Out - Country fried steak, eggs over medium, covered hashbrowns and pancakes. - New American Near Me - Mora, Minnesota

The menu is huge!! I had cornedbeef, eggs and marbled toast, it was wonderful..I couldn't finish it all!! My friend had the cinnamon roll french toast it was amazing!! Prices were inexpensive. Very clean place, even the bathrooms! Would recommend breakfast for sure!! read more

This is a local restaurant in a small town; nothing fancy but the food is good and the service attentive. We went in a Monday night and enjoyed the nightly special (pot roast) and breasted chicken. Both were tasty. Had breakfast here a few mornings later-also good but nothing outside of standard breakfast offering. A good solid choice when in Mora, MN. read more

Good diner. Needs an update on the menu. Keep it simple and flavorful. Add chicken fried chicken mashed potatoes and gravy and this place would be excellent read more

Freddy's was a nice touch to our hiking trip. An American restaurant with very good servers. Place looks like an ordinary restaurant but they have tried to personalize it with pictures, and stuffs. Food was good and fresh, presentation was good. We enjoyed our breakfast with an ease. I will come here again provided opportunity. read more

Had no clue about this hidden gem. One of our friends took us there, after he raved about their food. We were in a breakfast mood. Amazing experience! The waitress was friendly and very accommodating. Their menu is 5 pages of food to order from. Bonus, they serve breakfast all day long. Was impressed when we pulled up as they had a Scandinavian welcome sign. My first thought Swedish pancakes. Oh yeah, they had them! They were delicious with the Lingonberries and butter. My only mistake was ordering slice of Elvis pie prior. I couldn't finish my breakfast. A must order though, banana cream with peanut butter pie to burst your taste buds. Only suggestion eat the breakfast first and take the slice of pie home for later. I wish this restaurant was closer to my house, as it would be a once a week spot for breakfast. read more

Dear Lord, where to start? Took my mother here for lunch on a Thursday. Waited 40 minutes for our order and finally gave it up. When I complained to the waitress, she wanted to argue about the timing (she claimed we were there for only half that time). Customer service tip #1: It's really never a good idea to argue with a pissed off customer about their experience. Also, I can tell time thank you very much. She then lectured me about how much time I should expect to spend in a restaurant for a 'sit down meal' (reference Customer service tip #1). Sorry lady, but this isn't exactly a 5 star restaurant. Speaking of which, I went to one of those last night and had appetizers, filet, pasta, desert and a bottle of wine with my wife. Full experience start to finish was less that 1 hour. I certainly was not still waiting to be served after 40 minutes (or even 20). If you are ever in Mora, drive right on by and go to Perkins instead. Even the day old hot dogs at the local gas station would be preferable. At least you will get to eat. read more

Service is slow! Went for lunch & it really wasn't that busy when we got there. Owner was wandering around telling everyone he had a new cook helping the cook that had been there 23 years, also mentioned that people were complaining about having to wait for an hour for their food but didn't ever go help out in the kitchen nor his wait staff. We waited at least an hour & 15 minutes for our food to come out while at least 4 other tables that sat down after us got their food first. Our order wasn't difficult as we ordered their specials of the day and we were only a table of 3. read more

Freddie's is one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. The wait staff is friendly enough but not even slightly experienced. The kitchen staff is completely incompetent. The decor hasn't changed since maybe the 80's, or at least it appears that way. The pricing would be good if the food was palatable. On this first and last visit, steaks ordered medium-rare arrived gray but yet somehow cooked medium-well to well done, and one of the sides was incorrect. Ribs were served almost warm in a soupy liquid of the freezer bag water they are packaged in. Vegetables are of the canned or frozen variety. The french fries were surprisingly ok though. Do yourself a favor and pass on this one. Drive to Cambridge if you have to. Freddie's has no redeeming qualities of any kind. Its just a dump. read more

Freddie's doesn't appear special or interesting from the outside, but when you get inside...It's a whole other story. The staff are very friendly and they keep track of regulars. The food has always been amazing and the service is sometimes a little longer for waiting if you go on weekends(as to be expected) but they apologize and take your drink orders. The bathrooms weren't as good, but you have a functioning toilet and sink. As for someone complaining about the look of the building...( ahem. Richard). It's suppose to have an older and more country like look. Its theme is around fishing. I would definitely recommend getting their breakfast stuff there!!! read more

We found this to be a great alternative to fast food on our way up to the North Shore. We ordered over the phone. We were told our food, on this Friday night at 5pm, would take 15 min. Pickup was convenient with a separate door on the left with a window. We were able to get plenty of condiments too. My partner had a Swiss burger sauté with added on tomato and lettuce with fries. I had an omelet with wheat toast and hash browns. We enjoyed our food and thought it was reasonably priced. We will stop back! read more

Service was amazing it was not super crowded and loud. The food was very good and it was fresh and hot. I will definitely come here again. read more

Great food and service. Cute local place with hometown feel. Prices were good. Service was good. Worth a stop if you are in the area.

Freddie's is our favorite restaurant in Mora! Great food, service and owners! They also have a banquet room in back for meetings and an occasional comedy show (including nationally known names like JJ Walker and Louie Anderson) and the first Sunday of each month is the Freddie's brunch buffet! This is a small town gem! read more

Excellent food and service. All day breakfast and an expansive menu (with customizable options) make this worth a stop on your way to / from your cabin! read more

Tried this place based on the 4.5 star rating. Not sure if it lives up to that. We were there for lunch and service seemed a bit slow. When the orders came out my burger arrived and then a few minutes later my husbands burger arrived. Not sure if kitchen mixed up or server. When his burger arrived The sever asked if we needed anything else. I said yes a drink. She brought me a refill but not him. The food was average, I've had better and worse. Paying for the meal was confusing. It seems that each server has their own cash bag and not a central cash register. Frustrating after a slow meal to have to wait for the correct person to help you pay your bill. read more

Breakfast took an hour to come out and 4 people got the same order before us. Food was decent, took way too long

I've been going here for years with family. It was my grandma's favorite place to go in Mora while she was still alive. She loved to go for lunch and after church. I went today with my Mom and some of her friends. It is a locally owned and operated diner and the food options are just as you would expect. The bacon is delicious, the hasbrowns are good (would be amazing if the seasoned them while they were cooking) and the eggs were great if you got the over easy ones. The scrambled eggs were over cooked. The coffee is endless and good. This is the kind of place you go if you aren't in a hurry; while the waitstaff is always friendly and courteous, the food comes out slow so as long as you are patient you will not be disappointed. read more

There have been some changes recently. Freddie's's had been an outstanding local restaurant, but the last several meals (saute burgers w/fries and side salads) were very disappointing with greasy oily fries, overcooked hamburger and damp buns. The problems suggest that the fryer temperature is set too low, the buns are coming right out of a freezer without toasting/heating and the cook isn't monitoring the hamburgers adequately. This has happened several times in the last couple months. I hope Freddie's's returns its quality control back to where it was... it was great! read more

Drive by often, finally had the chance to stop. Typical greasy spoon, but much more flavorful. Waitress was slightly rude with us but obviously knew every other person in the place, calling most by name. Portions were plentiful. Would stop again. The turn around in that place was lightning speed. Almost fast food cooked at order. Super fast. read more

Excellent food, great service and delicious old fashioned malts! We arrived in the middle of lunch rush and still we were greeted and served with speed and a smile. read more

Always fast and friendly service and good food! They do buffets for many holidays. They have the best broasted chicken in town! The Cannon family, who owns the restaurant, are very nice people, and Mark likes to strike up friendly conversations with guests a lot of times, especially regulars. All in all, always a great experience dining here. They also have Take-Out options as well. read more

Staff and owner are amazing, food is even better. Delicious twists on fan Favorites and doing the standard at a higher expectation than most. read more

Freddies Restaurant & Take-Out - Mid day about to begin - New American Near Me - Mora, Minnesota

Decided to take the family out for dinner and decided hadn't went to try Freddie's. Wish we hadn't. The service was terrible. One man was waiting tables. And he was complaining to all the customers that he was so overworked, and had take out orders so may have to run in back and drop everything. Even heard him tell a customer that was wanting to order a milk shake to go to Kwik Trip because it was a rip off at Freddie's for the "to go' cup for the malt at Freddie's. And later he told another guy that he was the manager! Wow. And neither him nor the other woman waitress wore masks to protect the customers. Very unprofessional. Wont be going there again anytime soon. read more

Service depends on who is working. I've had servers argue with me about my order. Food is mediocre and seldom hot. Coffee is weak. Love the owners! Friendly! We keep trying but finally gave up on a great meal here. read more

Mid-afternoon lunch.. good food for a Ma-Pa place. 1 waiter for 5 full table but that did not slow things down. Would stop again.

The most pleasant place to gather with family, friends. The food is fantastic, the service is with a smile, and professional service. The owner Mark is a very nice person, and enjoys talking with the customers. The service for getting you're food is fast, and the take service is awesome. I call in my order, and is hot and ready when I arrive for it. If you haven't stopped at Freddie's family restaurant it's time you give it a try. read more

Best (and all day) breakfast in Mora. Only breakfast diner in Mora? The breakfast here is unbeatable; crispy hashbrowns, Scandinavian style pancakes (thin and really moist). Coffee is weak, but then what do you expect? Not too many options in Mora, so I'll be here for breakfast again! read more

Small town family owned buisness. It's very rare we go and don't be treated like family. Always Greeted By Name.

The worse place in town to eat. You wait forever and one look into their kitchen will make you wonder how someone hasn't died from E. coli!

It was moderately busy when we were there. The service was a little slow, food was ok, nothing special. They could clean a little better it seemed dingy! read more

The decor was comfortable and wait staff were very friendly but was very sad to see the food. I ordered the Hot Beef. Instant potatoes, gravy, and the meat was horrible. My dad's meal was no different which was frozen factory made country fried steak packet gravy and those instant potatoes. read more

The food is great and the waitstaff is great! It doesn't get better that Freddies! The food has a real homemade taste! The best is the classic cheeseburger and a malt. Their malts are unbeaten! read more
