Favorite Patty Melt I've ever had. Only down-side is I wish they were open more on weekends/evenings to have it for dinner more often.

So, when it's cold and or rainy I sometimes get the craving for a steak and cheese. I grew up in Boston and there were basically pizza places on every corner. The places down in Texas just aren't the same, and there wasn't a good place to get one near me so I went to Yelp. Freddy's popped up and it was 10 mins away so I said "why not"? The place is pretty busy and it looks like a very popular place for lunch. It's kinda dark and noisy. Perfect for eating solo. I got the Texas Cheesesteak with the seasoned fresh cut fries. The sandwich was great, nice soft and crispy sub roll, good ratio of veggies and cheese to meat (I hate when they murder you with cheese). The bread didn't get too soggy, just on the edge but it held. The fries were also very good if not a little less crispy than I like but great flavor. I'm glad a took a chance, now I have a new cheesesteak spot! read more

The service was amazing. They even offered to make me a burger even though it was breakfast. The food was fabulous. Great place and friendly people and good prices. read more

The food was so good. The burger was cooked to perfection. The milkshake wasn't too thick or too sweet. AND THE RANCH WAS DELICIOUS. I also appreciated their wide range of sauces, and the inside had a nice vibe. I am excited to come back read more

This was our 2nd attempt to eat here. We walked in & no other patrons were there... except us. They were all busy and would not wait on us and looked at us as if we had 3 heads. We asked if they still serving breakfast and the lady walked away saying... "let me go ask her". You could tell they did not want to wait on us, so we left. The guy that was behind the counter just looked at us like 'why are y'all in here' ?!! Insane !!!! Never going to try it again ! read more

This café is exactly what you look for in a small and delicious café. They consistently have excellent service and excellent food. I wish there was this type of café in every single city that I travel in but sometimes they're hard to find with the quality that this café has. read more

I've been coming here since 2014 for lunch they never let me down. Quick and fast food. The service is top-notch. The owner is friendly. Go support local. read more

I haven't been to a restaurant with this vibe in a while. Great chill atmosphere and the staff works with you. Amazing omelette here, thanks Vanessa! read more

Went there once and ordered a Philly cheesesteak. Very little meat and all bread. It was busy with the lunch crowd and my order took forever. People that came in long after I ordered received their food pretty quickly. Also way overpriced for a mostly bread and mayo sandwich. Won't be back.......sorry! read more

Nice cozy little place which might be a bit hard to spot from the main road. It pretty much caters to the breakfast and lunch for the offices near by and closes by afternoon. The interiors are nice and the staff was courteous. Once it gets crowded, might be a bit hard to find a table and also hear your name being called. In terms of food, the choice for vegetarians is very limited. And there was nothing delightful about the veggie delite I tried. In the end, i just forced it down my throat. The fried mushrooms tasted good, but they looked like straight out of the frying pan dripping a whole lot of oil at the bottom. read more

I always enjoy my meals here. My favorites so far were the French toast and there was a special one day on some special pancakes - nuts and maybe berries and I forget what else but they were delicious. The bacon is always perfect. The boyfriend usually gets a taco and seems to enjoy. read more

This is the best Monday thru Friday lunch spot in the energy corridor. The menu selection is awesome. From burgers to chicken to fish to salads... I've had them all. I haven't had any complaints. I eat here 1 - 2 times a week Highly recommend read more

New job in the area has me checking out local venues and Im really glad I swung into Freddy's tiday for lunch. Nice open table area, not too jam packed like some places do. Clean, nice looking, open to the grill so you can see work area and it looks well kept. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Menu/prices were all up on a big chalkboard and on menues... decent prices for handcrafted grill/diner style food. They do breakfast and lunches. I snagged a chicken strips and fries basket, with a fountain drink... all told about $12ish. Food only took a few minutes to make, hand cut fries and seemingly hand dipped tenders (maybe made to order?).... barely had time to answer a few email while I waited. Food tasted great, tenders were crispy ouside, juicy inside and the fries had just the right amount of salt. Came with choice of dipping sauces including gravy (which I got... needed more pepper, but that's personal preference easily fixed at my table). All told, great experience, will definitely be adding to my building list of local "regular" haunts. read more

Breakfast tacos done right! Yes Jesus... Perfectly cooked tortilla goes a looooong way in the prep of a grand bfast taco! And Freddy's is on point. I hate to review a restaurant on one thing but when it's done so divinely, how could I not. This place would hands down win for the lousiest curb appeal but try it anyway. Def my go to spot heading into the office, there's some good food behind those doors. UPDATE: have now tried the cheesesteak, burgers, salmon burgers, pastrami...all very yummy! Everything is made to order in an open kitchen and the staff is very friendly... I'd CAUTION against two items I've tried though...the fish & chips (I don't care too much for the batter and frankly it's a mystery kind of fish you don't see often) and the chicken goat cheese wrap. I was not impressed, it had waaaaaaaaaaaay too much spinach in it for me and it was just not that good. I love blue cheese but it's only bc dressing, wasn't feeling that. read more

I've passed by this place plenty of times and I've always thought that it was a weird place to have a cafe. Despite their location, their food and variety are both great. My boyfriend and I decided today that we wanted wraps (I've been nagging that I wanted to eat healthier). So Freddy's was the first to pop up on Yelp and I am definitely not disappointed in our decision to try it out. Their menu has such a wide range that it was hard to choose. "Wraps, Hanna, you're here for wraps!" We both got the Greek Wrap, with fruits and fries as our sides. The wrap was huge, filled with veggies, grilled chicken, and other goodies. Fruit serving is also big and sweet as well. Fries were alright, nothin too special. We'll be back again to try the Grilled Chicken with Goat Cheese Wrap that I was eyeing. Or maybe I'll have a cheat day and try something off their "From the Fryer" section. A good first experience and I hope they get more customers! read more

My family (me, my husband and two teenagers) went to Freddy's for breakfast on Saturday. The portions are large so we each split a plate. We had one order of pancakes (with bacon and extra side of eggs) and one order of French toast (came with bacon and berries/cream). The food was ready quickly and was delicious. We'd go again. It has a small town feel. read more

Never would have known this place existed if not for a friend telling me to try it... The counter service is a little bristly for a mom and pop joint but the rest of the experience was top notch especially for a lunch joint. We had the tuna melt, fried mushrooms, onion rings, and the beer battered fried chicken sandwich with fresh cut fries. I think the prices are fair for the quality and portions of food. You can make your meal a combo with a side and a drink for just $4. All the fried stuff definitely hit heavy but that was pretty expected. The fries were seasoned well with salt but the chicken sandwich could have used a little pizzazz; there's a tray of condiments in the dining room for that purpose. The chicken breast on the sandwich was nice and thin but still juicy and battered well. Everything we saw people walk by our table with looked great, definitely trying a salad next time I go! Oh, and the ranch is homemade... with fresh herbs... it was probably the highlight of the meal for us. read more

Update: Management (Vanessa) really cares about the customers and business. She more than made up for our last experience today. Big thanks!! We were all very happy with our meals today, just as it were always, absolutely DELICIOUS!! Update: I called at 12:40 yesterday and was put on hold for 11 minutes. I could hear her servicing in the background. Didn't apologize for the hold. Told me it'll be 30 minutes for food pickup. Food was lukewarm and fries not crunchy and stale by the time we picked it up. My son couldn't finish his burger and fries because of the taste. They are also charging $1 more for burger due to beef shortage. We had great experience the first time for food pickup but it was not great this time around. I hate it when restaurants are inconsistent with service and quality because that'll be the cause of losing customers and businesses will eventually close. A mon I love their philly cheesteak and curly fries. I cannot say enough about the food and friendly service. read more

Place was pretty busy when we got there but it was emptied quite fast by the time we sat down. The service was alright. Not bad, not great. Cashier wasn't too friendly though nor was, I believe to be a manager in regards to a Groupon I had purchased. It said I could buy up to 4, so I did. Manager said they'd have to ring each order up one by one to get the discount but it was like "cheating the system" by doing that. Well we were just down visiting and wouldn't be able to use them any other time, so I said "I guess go ahead and do just that." She walked off abruptly and seemed a bit annoyed. Nonetheless, we ordered and all of us got our food under 15 minutes. Burgers were pretty good along with the chicken strips but all of us left most of our fries, they were just too greasy. If we're ever in Houston again, we'll likely go eat somewhere else due to our first impression. read more

Decided to try this out since I've seen it on yelp, and it has great reviews. She ordered the bacon, egg and cheese croissant which was okay. Your typical croissant. The bacon was extremely crunchy. I ordered the French toast which is a big portion. Also came with bacon. The French toast was pretty dry. Overall it was ok. read more

Good food and nice costumer service but he opened the salt shaker with his mouth.the place is also nice and has a good vibe.

Freddy's is delicious!! I had their croissant sandwich with a side of pancakes. My gf had their omelet with a side of French toast. Definitely will be back! read more

Fast, pretty decent food. A tad overpriced but hey it is what it is. Work near by so I go pretty often for breakfast and lunch.

Sandwich size is extremely small however the quality is great. Ranch is phenomenal. Service is okay, they should have a full time host

Had the chicken quesadilla and it was so good lots of food in the quesadilla and it came with chips and salsa as the side. Enjoyed it and definitely will order this again!!!! read more

What's better than some fresh huevos and a side of bacon......love this place....small...but quick and to the point...try it...u won't regret it... read more

Horrible customer service I stood there for 5 mini before being greeted which was the border of breakfast and lunch schedule. Breakfast ends at 10:30 and was not posted anywhere. Didn't eat, won't give my money to horrible service read more

This is a good old Deli/Diner type of place! All kinds of sandwiches,wraps, salads, burgers, fish/chicken/veggie sandwiches, soups, breakfast items, etc. Buffalo burger was DELICIOUS and sweet potato fries were amazing! Can't wait to try chicken wrap and salad I got to take home for tomorrow. Very nice staff as well, very pleased! read more

Freddy's is amazing. The breakfast tacos are great. For lunch I usually get the grilled chicken sandwich and side salad. So good. And fast too. read more

Day two of my Houston trip started off with a bang. This little place was located nearby the training center I was in and got good reviews, so I figured I'd give it a shot. They have a pretty big menu but everything seems to be made to order and came out rather quickly for being busy during the lunch hour. The staff was nice and friendly. I got the grilled chicken and goat cheese wrap with a side of sweet potato fries. The fries were thin and crisp, and were probably some of the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. Kudos to Freddy's. The wrap was delicious. The only small thing I will add as a "complaint" is that there was too much lettuce and not enough chicken in the wrap. But that doesn't warrant one less star. It seems like the burgers were a hit for others, so next time I'd probably try that. Overall a delicious lunch and worth a shot if you live or work nearby. read more

I took my 7-year-old daughter here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The food was great but halfway through breakfast a guy with an untrained Pitbull came inside, ordered food at the counter, and sat down next to us. Didn't seem to bother the owners at all. Was not the most comfortable situation. I won't be returning. read more

All honesty I was eager to give an awesome review UNTIL......... But first, let me touch bases on why I first liked this location. The location was in a very odd place tucked away in a business office strip. Once entering we received a warm greeting. Patrons are very friendly and welcoming. We order two Freddy's omelets which come with hash brown and toast along with two coffees. Omelet was very good. and coffee was just as we like it. Food and prices I would say were about what is expected for a little cafe like this. we got ready to go and went to refill our coffee for our long drive back home. Now I know cooks test their food and the ladies were doing it in a sanitary way fresh item to test. BUT....... As soon as they were done and walk away the man on the grill turned and with his bare hand (without washing beforehand) stuck it into what looked like a large pan of taco meat while dropping some of it in the pan stuck his hand in again and scooped up some of the meat and put it in his mouth. My mouth dropped. As the owner greeted us I told him that was very gross. Thinking he saw what this other guy had just done. But not sure. As I explained that was gross. I was so disgusted in what I just saw all I could do is walk out. To the patrons of this little cafe you have a cute little setup and would have given easily a 5 star but as I stated in the beginning until I saw that. read more

Missed breakfast the first time I went, and enjoyed a delicious bacon-cheeseburger. The last time I was there I was in time for breakfast and enjoyed two wonderful breakfast tacos sausage, cheese, and potato. They did not on the ingredients. read more

Three alarm breakfast tacos are hands down the best breakfast tacos in Houston. I've been searching for the best breakfast tacos and finally found it. Lunch is also delicious. First thing I tried was the buffalo burger and it had so much flavor! You can tell the love they put into making their food by the quality of every bite you take whether it's the breakfast or the lunch. I highly recommend Freddy's Cafe for genuinely delicious food. And a big plus is that you get to support small businesses! The breakfast tacos were so good that I'm going to make a second trip for lunch today! read more

Came here during lunch from work. Ordered at the counter, great menu, fast service. Ordered the BLT and it was really good, burgers also look scrupulous. The restaurant was crowded and for good reason, not many decent fast service places in the area. Will definitely return to try other items. read more
