Craving a great classic burger!? Fred's got it! Mine was delicious, perfect combo, classic ingredients, amazing flavor. You're inside Krog Street Market, so the ambiance is already nice, me and my friends got lucky to find at spot at their table, but there's plenty of room at the market. Service was fast, friendly and helpful. read more

Fred's is widely known to be the "best" cheesesteak in Atlanta. It has many accolades including being on the Michelin guide. 1) Korean Ribeye Cheesesteak: - PROS: It was packed and filled to the brim with ribeye that was nicely cut with an even cheese dispersion. I loved the caramelized jalepeno slices since they added it beautiful hint of spicy sweetness to the dish. The bread has a nice chew and it does not get soggy fast. - CONS: Not that special. I dont know why it's "korean" since it tasted like a normal cheesesteak but with a few jalapenos. I also wish they added in more jalapenos (I got like 3). 2) Garlic Fries with Ranch: - PROS: Very nice texture with a crispy outside and fluffy inside that is not too dense. The flavor comes from the garlic mince that is on top. The ranch is like a mixture of an aioli and tartar sauce (I think they make it in house, correct me if I'm wrong). - CONS: Inconsistent texture as some of the fries were dense but a few had that good hollow crisp bite. Quite oily too. Overall, I enjoyed the cheesesteak but would probably skip the fries next time. I do believe it is good especially the bread. I don't think it is worth all the hype it gets, but it is good. read more

I was wandering the Krog Street Market for the first time and wasn't sure what to eat for lunch. I checked for recommended using AI and it suggested two restaurants (one which wasn't open yet) and Fred's. Since I was by myself I went with Fred's and ordered the Korean Cheesesteak and Pommes Frites. They said it would take 15 min but it ended up being closer to 7 min. Here's what I thought: - Korean Cheesesteak - OK. That first bite was all about big flavour, but after a few bites, I felt it was overly rich. - Pomme Frites - Good. Good quality, but got soggy fast. Finding a table to ear at the Market as the place is very busy and lively. I ended up finding an open spot at a standing counter. Overall. It was just OK for me. My body can't handle big volumes of rich foods any more. I would consider coming back to try something else. read more

Heard about this place via TikTok and I'm so happy to report TikTok didn't lie! I went for the classic Philly but also couldn't resist the Italian sandwich. I can confirm both were delicious!!! The Philly was straight to the point meat, cheese and bread! The Italian was great for people who love spicy food! Overall these were both great sandwiches! read more

We knew coming to Krog Street Market meant that we had to make a stop at Fred's Meat & Bread (in fact, it was the only place we got food). Unfortunately, we were underwhelmed by the Korean Philly Cheesesteak. Something about the Korean flavors with the cheese just didn't work for us. I'm also not a fan of when bread has too many sesame seeds on it. We both agreed that ordering a regular cheesesteak or maybe even a burger probably would have been better. The staff was kind enough to give us complimentary garlic fries (possibly extra from someone else's order), but we weren't a fan of those either. Super garlicky but not salted at all. Sad that we had high hopes for Fred's for our visit to Atlanta, but glad we checked it out and still had a great time exploring the market! read more

10/10! Found this place on TikTok looking for "the best burgers in Atlanta" and with many spots being closed on Monday this was an automatic yes! The burgers were fresh and flavorful. The fries were also awesome, we order the ranch fries and plain fries. The service was great and the person taking our order was quite helpful. Inside Krog Street food hall so you do have to find a place to eat but great spot that you can walk around the Beltline right after. read more

Best fries in my life I normally would never do a Yelp review for a one-time visit but literally the old bay seasoned fries with tartar sauce were nearly life changing. I've eaten many fries in my life but these literally were the best ever. Thick cut, I was surprised that they were fried to perfection. No thick fry mush. Pro-tip: Skip the line and order online for pickup. Staff was friendly on pickup and I didn't have to stand around for 30 minutes. Bonus is that their burger is also fab. I had both to-go and planned on devouring hours later but my sample of the fries made me go all in on them. I had half the burger on the run and it was really pretty darn perfect too. Great vibe in the food hall. I'll be back again soon but this review could not wait. read more

This was my first visit here and it won't be the last. This place was delicious. The customer service was good. And the food was fresh and came out super fast. We ordered the garlic Parmesan fries, a burger, and the Korean cheese steak. I'm typically a picky eater when it comes to onions and other toppings on my sandwich. I decided to order it as is at the suggestion of the cashier and I am so glad I listened to her. The restaurant is located in Krog street market. You are able to enjoy your food at the bar, additional seating in the dining hall or you can take it to go. read more

Stumbled upon this cheesesteak shop at Krog Market Street and learned that they appeared on Michelin Bib Gourmand! Even though they're famous for their cheesesteak, I still prefer their Blackened Salmon better because of the peppery spicy taste, juicy salmon patty, and fresh and nutty arugula. Plus, $12.25 is pretty worth it IMO for a salmon burger *that* good. Will definitely be back for the burger! They have an online ordering system or an in-person ordering. Either way, you can grab your food and sit at their 4-stool counter or head outside for some fresh air and sunlight. read more

PSA! This review is just for the burgers, at this point we know what we're getting as it pertains to the Philly. This is my second time trying their cheeseburger the first time I was not impressed but this was back in the day. Since then, I've seen endless lists of the best burgers in Atlanta, and Fred's always made the list. I'm here to tell that is not the case, it's a mid burger at best. Once again, the Philly is divine but the burger? NOT AT ALL. read more

WOW! Don't be scared and try that Korean steak Philly because it is like NO OTHER! I took a risk and it was the best decision yet! Incredible how the fusion complements each other between that sesame bread! Fries were perfectly crisp and steak style! Definitely enough to serve two! You know you've hit a gem when it's got the longest line of the food hall! FYI For those who consider the burger we were advised to stick to the Philly's! The vibe was it and the staff worked efficiently to bang the orders out! read more

I heard about Fred's in Krog so wanted to try it! I had their Korean cheesesteak and I definitely enjoyed it! I think their steak is more of a bulgogi style. Though one thing about it is that it's not evenly spiced. Most of it wasn't too spicy, but there was a few meats in the middle one of the sandwich half that was quite spicy. read more

Fred's Meat & Bread - Burgers Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

After all the years I've been coming to Krog Street Market, I finally tried Fred's Meat & Bread--and I was not disappointed. The service was great. The young lady at the front was especially helpful since it was my first time. She walked me through the menu and helped me decide on the Korean cheesesteak. You can choose chicken or ribeye, and of course I went with ribeye because I'm definitely a steak girl. Naturally, I had to get fries. They have so many good options: hand-cut fries, garlic fries & ranch, pommes frites with aioli, Old Bay fries with tartar sauce, and truffle Parmesan fries with aioli. I went with the Old Bay fries, and that seasoning was the perfect touch. Both the cheesesteak and the fries were a total home run. I opted out of the jalapeños, but there was still a slight kick--just a heads up if you're not into spice. Still, it was absolutely delicious and very filling. I happily saved the second half for the next day. I'm so glad I finally decided to try Fred's, and I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. read more

Okay the cheesesteak was BOMB! Bread was super soft and the chopped cheese was very much chopped and cheesy! I also got a side of just regular fries and they were also good! Service was friendly and pretty quick. It's located inside Krogg which is nice but you know the weekends can be busy! read more

Fred's is a 1 of 1 everything I've tried here has been great. The line to order was very long as it was a Saturday but it moved quickly and I didn't wait long for my order either. Cheesesteak was great. The fries are good if you don't like thick cut fries or skins you won't like their fries. There is not alot of seating but this location is inside of the Krog street market where there is additional seating at the front of the building. read more

Fred's Meat & Bread is located inside the Krog Street Market, an excellent venue that showcases many small businesses and the like. Dee wanted to show us a portion of Atlanta, and she mentioned that she liked the burgers that Fred's offers. Neal and I were open to anything that we couldn't find in Virginia, so off we went Ponce Street Market and proceeded to walk from Ponce Street to Krog Street. For the Hampton Roads, VA locals, Fred's is reminiscent of the old Norfolk Waterside and its many eateries. Fred's is small - just big enough for a kitchen and front counter. There is some bar seating, but there is community seating inside Krog Street Market (this venue used to be a factory for making stoves). We arrived just before a lunch rush, so our wait wasn't long. Dee had the cheesesteak (which was massive and full of sliced ribeye), Neal had the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich, and I had the Burger Stack. We split an order of Garlic Fries - Neal was the only one who actually finished his sandwich. Fred's puts out some quality food and, despite the hot and humid weather, it was worth the 1.3 mile walk. I was ready to call it a day, but Neal and I still had to head over to Mercedes-Benz Stadium for VT v. South Carolina! Regardless, this was a memorable and fun time, and Fred's had a lot to do with that. Thank you, Fred's! JV read more

Nice sandwich spot in Krog Street Market. There was quite a line and wait time due to its popularity, but was worth the wait. The Italian grinder was flavorful and a great portion size. The cheesesteak fell a bit flat for me as I couldnt see that much cheese in it. Top it all off with the fries on the side, I was struggling to finish as it was a filling meal. Will be interested to try their other sandwiches next time. read more

The first time I visited was amazing. I came in person and they gave me a stuffed sandwich. This review is about the second visit which was not that great. I ordered the good through Door Dash. I did not want to handle traffic and parking. I have no complaints about the delivery time nor the person delivering the food. Food - I ordered the Korean Cheese Steak and BBQ fries with white sauce and ranch dipping sauce. The cheesesteak did not have that much meat, sauce, nor jalapenos. It still tasted good but the meat and toppings were skimpy this time around. I love the candied jalapenos in it. The perfect balance of sweet and heat. The bread is extremely soft on the inside. The fries are loaded with BBQ seasoning and taste amazing. The white sauce tastes just like mayo. The ranch is spicy with a little kick. read more

Customer service 10/10 all the girls were so sweet and attentive to the customers at the counter and whilst taking orders. Line moved quick. I loved the set up of their shop, you could see your order coming up. They had stools at the counter so you could sit right there it was very inviting. I am so sad I didn't just get the blackened salmon sandwich, the man next to me ordered it and when it came out my heart broke it smelt so hotlanta goodt!!! The italian grinder, the bread was phenomenal and the spicy peppers added some jazz to it but the vinegar on the sandwich outweighed all the other ingredients. The fries were so yummy! I like mine a bit more crisp but the flavor was there, next time i need two ranches! i will definitely be back to try their other options! Also super affordable! read more

If you're visiting on a weekend, expect a line--but don't worry, it moves quickly and it's absolutely worth the wait. We placed a to-go order and, even though it was packed and we were quoted a 15-minute wait, our food was ready in just five. Fast, friendly service all the way around. There's a small counter for dining in--clean and well-kept--but with limited seating, so keep that in mind if you're planning to eat on-site. It's more of a quick-bite or grab-and-go spot, especially during busy hours. We tried the Roasted Turkey Sandwich and the Korean Cheesesteak (ribeye), both of which were fantastic. The cheesesteak was juicy, packed with flavor, and served on a soft, sesame seed-studded bun that held everything together perfectly. The turkey sandwich was stacked with thick, juicy slices and came on beautifully toasted bread that added the perfect crunch. We also shared an order of garlic fries, which were boldly seasoned with garlic and Parmesan, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired with a side of herby ranch that we could've eaten by the spoonful. To top it all off? Their Oatmeal Cream Pie with pineapple jam--a nostalgic treat with a tropical twist. Soft, chewy, and just sweet enough. Every bite was delicious. Highly recommend stopping by if you're anywhere near Krog Street Market! read more

I was initially very skeptical about trying the cheesesteaks at Fred's due to having "bad cheesesteak luck" at a couple of other Atlanta area restaurants. I ordered the garlic fries and Korean ribeye cheesesteak that came dressed with gochujaung sauce, cheese, candies jalapeños, green onions, and garlic aioli. The cheesesteak was a great size and absolutely packed to the brim! The first bite of the cheesesteak was a perfect flavor party of savory and sweet followed by a firery kick of spice! It was absolutely amazing. The garlic fries were ok not my favorite but still pretty good. However the cheesesteak was unique, flavorful and delicious. A must try if you're looking for a great cheesesteak. read more

I volunteered to drive a friend to the airport this morning, and the timing was perfect for us to show up at Krog Street Market just as they opened at 11:30. I stood at the front of the line with my friend, as we plotted out what we would get. We decided to split the OG (I always get extra cheese), and the Korean cheesesteak, which has candied jalapeños and gochujang sauce for a sweet and spicy kick. We knew the fries were a lot, but I always go with the old bay with tartar sauce, and always get an extra one because the fries portion is made to share! Sat at the bar for the first time, while we waited for our food I ran over to get some desserts at Little Tart Bake Shop, and a Diet Coke from Gu's. All set! Laraib was working the register and taking orders, super nice and friendly. Elly was also prepping the front for what I can only imagine would be a super busy day. Both were in it for the long haul, seeing as though the second we ordered there was already 12 people in line behind us. Good idea to share different cheesesteaks. The Korean one was delicious. Sauce, gooey, and spicy. The candied jalapeños have a kick because I think they leave the ribs and seeds in there. But not inedible hot. Super crunchy roll (sesame roll) that was toasted so it wouldn't get soggy. Perfect, but we both agreed that sharing this was the right call. You can never go wrong with a cheesesteak that has extra cheese and grilled onions. I also destroyed that half, ensuring that I would be full for most of the day. The old bay fries are deliciously salty. These fries are on the bigger/thicker side, so you get some that are crunchy (smaller edge pieces) and others that are pillowy soft on the inside. The tartar sauce is such a good pairing with this. Vinegary, briny, and creamy. It serves as an enhancement, not a foil. We parked in the garage and were in and out in less than an hour. I thought it would be slow seeing as though it was a holiday weekend, but I was definitely incorrect on that count. Thank you to the team at Fred's for another great meal. Special shout out to Laraib and Elly for checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed, along with bussing our spots when we finished. 5 out of 5, will always come back when I'm driving by! (First time going with something other than the OG Cheesesteak and now I've opened Pandora's box!) read more

The cheesesteak at Fred's is disruptive and controversial. It could literally go to Philadelphia and become the state mascot. You know what... Let's do it - Fred's in the Atlanta Cheesesteak. I would take it on a national tour and challenge the best Cheesesteak in any city. How does someone bake such paranormal bread? Then by some art of wizardry, someone takes provolone cheese, onions, and peppers along with such quality sliced ribeye and cooks them on a flattop using a supernatural spatula. Seriously, it must be something otherworldly going on in the kitchen because A LOT of places make cheese steaks and they ain't close to Fred's quality. I'm just not sure a review with words, pictures, and videos can do justice. You need the 4th dimension (smell and taste). Service wise, the wait is about 10 minutes for almost everything on the menu. The staff are friendly and efficient, they stay extra busy and do a fine job at moving orders. There are a few barstools at the counter to eat at but there are more opportunities in the common area of Krog St. Market. Unfortunately, I have never had anything else on Fred's menu. I just can't do it when I know the cheese steak is there. However, the consensus among my peers is that the burger stack slaps! Here's 5-stars to THEE Atlanta Cheesesteak! read more

As first-time visitors to Krog, we had to try Fred's. We arrived during lunch, and there was a long line. It moved quickly. The ordering process was smooth, and customer service was exemplary.

I'm glad we had a chance to visit. read more

Overall a 4.5, great cheesesteaks generously filled but parking and getting here can be slightly a pain as it is in Krog Street Market. Located in a shopping district, the area is generally busy with limited seating and parking . But the food is great and the people are friendly and fast!! I have gotten two cheesesteaks here, and they are generously filled with tender beef and cheese, and the bread is also soft and nice. The shroom sire has mushrooms and onions on top of the cheesesteak, and the Korean gochujang cheesesteak is also very popular, with some Korean spice in it! It is a lot of food, enough for 2 meals, and they make it fresh and hot!! Their garlic fries are also delicious, thick cut with some herbs that really elevate the flavor! Definitely like dropping by for a quick bite or a casual lunch!! read more

Was pleasantly surprised with the Korean cheesesteak. The candid jalapeño was a great touch.

Fred's Meat & Bread is located in Krog Street Market. Given it's location in a trendy food hall I should've known it'd be on the pricey side. Add on the fact that it's got a Michelin Guide write up and you just know you're gonna be spending. I went with the Korean Cheesesteak (Ribeye) and pommes frites with garlic aioli. The sandwich and fries came out pretty quickly so I was able to go find myself a table. I really liked the bread of the sandwich. It brought a nice crunch and flavor to the whole thing. It soaked up the juices from the gochujang sauce and shaved ribeye which made the inside soggy (in a good way) but the outside stayed crisp. The candied jalapenos along with the gochujang sauce added some welcome heat to the mix. The green onions and garlic aioli gave some freshness to it all. All-in-all a pretty good sandwich. However, since it's got so much going on I wonder if they could get away with using a cheaper cut of meat than ribeye (while lowering the price of course). The fries were decent. I wish they were crispier, but they were seasoned well and had a lot of garlic flavor. The aioli was really good too. The Korean Cheesesteak, fries, and a Coke came out to ~$32. The food was good, but not THAT good. read more

After hearing friends rave over Fred's Meat & Bread, I was really excited when I finally got to try it. On a Tuesday night at dinner time, I was happy to see there was no line to order, and then the food was ready in 10-15 minutes. I did try to order ahead of time, but their website was not allowing me to. I went with the Ribeye Korean Cheesesteak, as was recommended. Sitting right around $20 without a side or drink, the price is steep but the sandwich is large and filled with a lot of meat. The cheesesteak was quite tasty but overloaded with sauce, making it very salty and a little softer than I would have liked. Overall, I would give this place a second try but order something else. read more

The sandwiches here are pretty good! I came by Krog today and wanted to try this place out because it is Michelin recommended. I came during an off meal time, so the line wasn't that long. I got the Italian Grinder and fries. The price was quite steep, but the sandwich is very large and definitely enough for two meals. It was really delicious, and the fries were also good. I would love to come by again and try some of their other menu items, such as the famous burgers or cheesesteaks. read more

Cozy location in Krog Street Market. Service is prompt and pleasant. The cheesesteak sandwich is very good.

Man oh man is the hype real! We visited on two separate occasions and had two different experiences. We stopped in on a Thursday afternoon during lunch time and the food hall was nearly empty. Including Fred's. I went with their burgers after reading great things and it did not disappoint. Double patty's with melted cheese and the right fluffy bread to go with it. Their bbq seasoned fries had a very bbq chips taste to it and was large in size. Absolutely enough to share between two people. We stopped in a second time on a Saturday afternoon and holy line. It wrapped around the corner and then some. Which was a completely different experience than our first go around. I will say, the staff was hard at work because that line moved as quick as a chick fil a drive through so it wasn't as terrible as it looked. This time we went with their famous Korean cheesesteak and holy flavor. The spicy sauce, melted cheese, and garlic aioli complimented each other in all the best ways. Also large in size and easy to share between two people, pending on your appetite. Order at the counter and wait for your name to be called. Affordable prices too. And definitely with the visit! read more

Best. Atlanta. Burger. Located in the popular Atlanta Krog Street Market, Fred's Meat & Bread is home to my favorite burger ever... and that means a lot! The Stack Burger is a double smash burger with a sesame seed bun topped with the only things that matter on a burger: American cheese, mayo, and pickles! The fries are special too; Fred's does fries 5 different ways, and they are delicious! I've tried the truffle parmesan fries with aioli, the garlic fries with ranch, and the classic fries- all of them are portioned generously and they are definitely big enough to share (or buy a couple and try some different kinds). While the burger will always be my go-to, Fred's Meat & Bread is also known for their Philly Cheesesteaks. I've seen them, friends have tried them, and I've only heard great things about them! The cashiers taking orders were very friendly and helpful in regard to answering questions and making recommendations. I always give "bonus points" to the service when the workers make recommendations or seek opportunities to personalize my order. Krog's Street Market overall is such a good indoor foodie venue. Other than Fred's, Krog's Street has good places for dumplings, pizza, and some local ice cream... yum! They seem to always be busy no matter when you go, but the parking is never too rough to get in and out of. There is a big lot connected directly to the market- which is nice compared to some other places in downtown Atlanta. You have got to make a trip down to Fred's Meat & Bread at Krog's Street Market if you are able! Day trip through Atlanta?... this is a must have! read more
