There are few locations in the area that can satisfy my craving for arroz con gandules y pernil quite like Freddy can. They have become a staple for pretty much any family gathering if you have someone in the family brave enough to go to a very unsavory neighborhood to get it for you. I really wish they were closer, but that is the only draw back. While I have never eaten in, I can assure you it is authentic, top notch Puerto Rican faire. read more

Great spot! I've been going to them for years, even before they were at their current location (3200 Westfield). You can get your food two different ways: pre-prepared stuff and menu "sit down" items. There are plenty of tables there to eat in. There is a bathroom that is clean. They come to the table and serve you. Or you can order up front and wait for the food at your table. It's an informal family type restaurant. Most of the time, I'm calling in ahead of time for pick up. My favorite is the "asopado de pollo" (chicken stew with rice). It's on "sit in" menu, but I order for pick up. It's not the chicken noodle soup that is pre-cooked. All staff are pretty nice, but they are sometimes busy so don't expect lots of small talk every time. The ones taking the orders usually speak very fluent English. The local police frequent this restaurant, too, which makes me feel safer because I am often with my child and the restaurant is in camden (not the worst area but not the best area of camden). It does not get a five because of the parking limitations. Their restaurant sits on a main road in camden. The parking is limited and it's hard to back into a spot. So people end up having to back out onto the main road, hoping not to cause an accident. Also, there is a pole that often gets in the way of being able to pull out of certain spots easily if your car is large. It doesn't stop me from going there though!! thumbs up! read more

The pork mofongo is my go to here. It is SOOO good. The size is so big I always have leftovers to make my stomach happy a second time. Price can't be beat. Definitely check out Freddy's! read more

I am a big fan of this restaurant.empanadas ,pork dishes, Spanish rice are some of my favorites..Friendly service very economical. Neighborhood is a little suspect but feel safe inside and parking is right in the front of building. read more

The food is fresh, delicious, and cheap considering the portions. The people are very friendly and the drinks are good too. I do recommend 100%!! read more

Was in the Philly area heading back home looking for some authentic Dominican food and found this little gem on Yelp... OK so obviously the location isn't the best but the food is amazing.. the restaurant itself is very clean and the staff very attentive and friendly. if I'm ever in this area again I'll definitely stop by. read more

This place rocks!! Everything is very fresh and flavorful. This is some of the best Latin food in the south jersey area. I have been to many. The mofungo!! Outstanding!!! Pernil, rice and beans, yellow rice, All Excellent!!! I love this little gem in Camden! Down home straight up goodness !! read more

See all

Great authentic Spanish food. This spot has great fresh food for very reasonable prices. The pernil (pulled pork) is the bomb. Everything tastes great. The rice beans, plantains and the empanadas. And they do take out. It is a must if you are in the area. read more

Food is great. I am a Carne or roasted chicken fan myself. Bounus, the rice is the best I have had in years!!!

Perfect. My boyfriend and I are puertorican and thought we would give this place a try, so lucky we did. The place is unassuming and has ample parking, which is a huge plus. The portions are HUGE, we left stuffed. The prices are super reasonable for the amount of food they serve. Cash only, so come prepared. We had arroz con gandules, i had "bacalao guisado" and my boyfriend had pernil. Everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious! It felt like Christmas in PR! read more

Food here fresh restaurant area is clean and staff is friendly. Love the homemade kind of food and this place does it very well

Very good food and friendly staff. Their shrimp stew with rice is great. Some of their stuff is already pre prepared and you can buy from the to go menu. Other things like the shrimp soup must be ordered and you wait for it. Downside is no cards accepted. Sometimes they take a tad bit too long but the food is good so I wait. Clean. Their beans used to be great but they are horrible now! read more

Best Spanish food around! Wish it had more parking but it's worth the wait for a parking spot.

Great place. Passing through and stopped by. Ordered a steak and onion sandwich. EXCELLENT. They do not skimp on steak at all. Well done. No complaints. If I find myself in the area I will stop here. read more

Used to serve amazing food but recently fell off. Food isnt as great as before.. maybe new cook?

Today I visited this small family owned restaurant in East Camden called, "Freddy's Restaurant." Upon arriving, I noticed the multilingual signs that advertised the types of foods they offered in both Spanish and English. Here at Freddy's, you are able to get the best of both worlds; offering a wide variety of authentic Puerto Rican, and Dominican food choices. You are greeted and served as soon as you walk in, which told me the customer service is phenomenal. Plus, the friendly women behind the counter speak in several different languages - including English - so you don't have to worry about communication issues. The food is very fresh, and never sitting for long periods of time. The chicken is very tender and juicy, topped with tons of awesome spices. Not to mention, they cut up the poultry starting from a whole chicken, which tells me the chicken isn't processed, but only the freshest! The prices here are also cheap, considering the large portions they give you. Not much to the downside, but the seating area isn't very big, so if you're coming here with a big group, be aware. Also, the parking lot is even more limited than the seating; so also keep that in mind as well. Moreover, with the friendly atmosphere and amazing food choices, you will leave here looking forward to your next visit! read more

Freddy's has awesome food for dining in and take out. I usually opt for take out. It's easy to get to and has enough parking. I was greeted warmly as soon as I entered and didn't have to wait a minute to get my food. Everything is already made and you just tell them what you want. I usually get chicken, rice and beans and chicken pastelillos. Portions are pretty large. You must try Freddys from some great authentic Spanish food! read more

I work in Camden and came here with my coworker for lunch. They had good, authentic food and the portions were huge for the price, I was happy and left full! read more

My Father and I went to Freddy's to pick up something for dinner that night and we were greeted when we walked in the door by a woman behind the counter who was ready and happy to serve us. I had baked chicken with yellow rice which was very good but the chicken was a little greasy. Would you recommend the restaurant? I would recommend going to Freddy's and if I'm nearby I'll probably go back again. But if you don't like parking on the street then it's a good idea to go in between lunch and dinner because the parking lot is extremely small. read more

If you're looking for authentic Spanish food at a reasonable price, Freddy's just might be the place you're looking for. You can eat in because they have a fair amount of tables and one thing you must know if that they do not accept credit cards, but don't be alarmed, they have an ATM right at the door. The food is fresh and really cooked to perfection. I was there Sunday April 12 for lunch and got pollo and yellow rice and beans, my favorite thing to eat. Customer service okay, my waitress no english so had hard time communicating a little. Overall, Freddy's is okay. read more

Very good food, I had the white rice and beans with pork. It was very well cooked and I will definitely come back here again

I gotta tell ya...as a fellow Boricua, missing mami's home cooking, Freddy's is it. Traditional, Authentic, Pernil y Arroz con gandules, the beef stew is AWESOME & so is the Pollo guisado...Man O Man....do yourself a favor, make the treck through the inner city, dont lettem see you sweat & your taste buds will thank you. The only thing I don't understand is ...Why close on Tuesdays??? It makes me anxious to know if I get a craving for Freddy's on Tuesdays, I am S.O.L. read more

Their food is SOOOOOOO GOOOD!!! And the service is so warm!! AND the prices are great! I go with my son all the time and we love EVERYTHING!

My roommate and I stopped into Freddy's Restaurant to see what they had to offer on our day off on Friday, April 14th, 2017 around 5PM. The restaurants location on Westfield Ave was convenient for us as it is only about a 5 minute drive from our house. Parking spots were more plentiful than other restaurants I've tried in the area but all the spots but one were filled so we got relatively lucky in that regard. Upon walking in the staff was extremely friendly and brought us two menus right away. Although we came at a relatively busy time during the day, we still received assistance almost immediately, which is something I have no complaints about. Overall, I have no complaints about my dining experience at Freddy's. The menu is filled with a multitude of intriguing Spanish and Caribbean food choices. I at first had trouble deciding on what to order considering it all sounded so good. I saw a few people eating and discretely took a look at their plates - needless to say everything looked and smelled phenomenal. Before my roommate and I decided to try out Freddy's, I looked online for a menu but was a bit disappointed I came up short finding one. Having an online menu would have made my decision a lot easier having a good idea of what I wanted upon arrival (overall, this is the only complaint I have about Freddy's whatsoever.) I kept my order relatively simple with a steak and onion sandwich with a side of yellow rice. My meal experience was excellent overall. Although our orders took a little long to get I was not at all disappointed because the meal itself made up for it, and we did show up at what appeared to be a busy time of the day for the staff. The atmosphere of the restaurant was overwhelmingly welcoming and there's no doubt the staff were working up a sweat trying to get orders done to the best of their abilities in a timely fashion. Upon getting my food the first thing I noticed was just how much I actually received for what I had spent. My sandwich was hot, fresh and without-a-doubt larger than I had originally anticipated, but it was not overly heavy which was definitely a plus. I noticed the majority of customers coming in were picking up takeout orders which I assume is their primary source of business. Knowing what I do now I will definitely be ordering takeout from Freddy's while I still live close by, and I will definitely be coming back for more - hopefully bring more people to share the experience with! -Luke LeMire Rutgers-Camden read more

I recently found out about this place and its absolutely terrific!! First of all, PR food is not something you can eat a little of so every time I walk out stuffed. I ordered the prernil and it came perfect with a bit of the crackling on top..now I'm addicted! Cant go wrong with the roasted chicken either and try the flan... I've been there a few times now for both eat in and take out and have not been disappointed. The staff is alaways busy with folks coming in a lot for takeout, but they make sure they take care of you. Seems to be pretty popular with Camdens Best in Blue too! read more

Authentic Spanish food. Great service very nice place. Parking it limited. Been here over 10 times each time was better then the last

I liked the atmosphere! Seemed a bit more community-like than other places I have visited. It was easy to place an order, and I wasn't aware that if you were eating at the restaurant, you could just sit at the table and they would come to you and take your order, so I kind of confused them by going to the counter and ordering. The waitresses and staff are very nice and polite and made sure I got everything I ordered! I ordered a sandwich around 5:00, and did not receive the sandwich until 5:20 whereabouts. I was stressed out because I had a final at 6:00 and just wanted a quick bite to eat before hand, and it took much longer than expected. Had I not had to rush, I believe I would have enjoyed this time much better. The food tasted good, I got a Cuban sandwich, something I wouldn't normally do but wanted to try something new. When I go back I plan on getting the mofongo or something with the plantains because I have seen nothing but positive reviews on them! I wish I got them the first time around :( my fault! read more

Very satisfying and generous. My first visit, and certainly won't be my last. I am a vegetarian and at first I was skeptical about having very little meatless choices. So I asked the waitress what my options were and she actually offered to have a custom dish made for me. Yellow rice and beans and vegetables fried in a garlic sauce sounded great to me! It was super satisfying and the portion was so big I have enough for two dinners now! I also ordered the plantains and the waitress kindly gave me more than the usual portion so that my dad could try some and he loved them! Definitely recommend the plantains. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back again soon! read more

I'm not Puerto Rican, but I enjoyed eating at Freddy Restaurant. The chicken with rice was very appetizing and flavorful, and I I highly recommend finishing your meal with the Flan (which I never enjoyed elsewhere). I liked the food so much that I brought another meal and dessert to my roommate and now he is a fan. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend to make a stop here. Also, since I'm from NYC I was very hesitant in traveling into Camden, but there shouldn't be any problems if you are traveling by car. Freddy has a parking lot in front of their establishment. Also, the workers were really nice considering I didn't know the language. read more

The food was very delicious but the chicken that I ordered wasn't juicy and tender, pretty dry; and certain parts of the chicken was still pink inside. The rice and beans were good, as well as the mango smoothie that I ordered too. The workers were really nice and served us pretty quickly. The food is pre-prepared so the wait for the food was not long at all. Overall, the food was lovely for my second time being there! read more

We tried the baked chicken, fried pork, potato ball, yellow rice, and red beans. Everything was excellent! Also took home some flan and tres leche for dessert. So good! Highly recommend them! We will be back. read more
