What a cute place! My husband and I were staying at a flat next door and passed Freddy's every time…read morewe came and went, and on our last night in Paris we decided to go ahead and give them a try because we appreciate good BBQ and were curious to try it in France. We each got the combo platter that allowed us to try multiple meats and sides, and I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the meat. Especially the brisket, a particular favorite of mine when it comes to BBQ. The mac and cheese was a solid side, but the coleslaw was underwhelming. As Americans, yes, we expect large portions. I've been to Europe often enough to manage those expectations pretty well, so I was also pleased when we each reached a comfortable stopping point and were able to get takeaway boxes for our leftovers. I know it's traditionally trés gauche to take leftovers from French restaurants, but I was happy to see that the trend is catching on. After all, not wasting food is a good thing, is it not? We carried those leftovers all the way to Amsterdam the next day--that's how much we wanted to finish them. We opted to sit in the terrace seating that has a suspended plank for a table so that we could people watch Rue St. Denis, a busy street in this arrondissement. It's in a great neighborhood that was vibrant and full of life, even in the wake of the pandemic. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who would like to try good Texas style BBQ in the middle of Paris.

We were visiting from Texas and our apartment was right next door and we decided to give Freddy's a…read moretry after a week of French cuisine. Since we are from Texas we had low expectations but we were wrong. Freddy's BBQ Serves excellent BBQ THAT WOULD COMPETE WITH ANY IN Texas Or Tennessee! The brisket was perfectly smoked, tender and juicy! The pulled pork was fantastic and the ribs were solid! We had all the sides and loved them The two pitmasters are trained and from Texas and Oklahoma So you know they know what real BBQ is!

If you're in the mood for smoked BBQ, the Batignolles location is a great stop! We ordered the…read morespare ribs, beef brisket, smoked beans, smoked Caesar salad, and cornbread. The smoked beans weren't your traditional baked beans. Instead, they used black-eyed peas and kidney beans, which made for an interesting twist that turned out to be uniquely good. Paired with the subtly sweet, moist cornbread, it was a winning combo. The process is simple and efficient: order at the counter, grab a number, and they'll bring your food and drinks right to your table. When you're done, you can scan your number and check out directly. For visitors like us who didn't want to download the app, it was just as easy to take the number to the register to pay. The staff were all very sweet and helpful, which made the experience even better. Solid BBQ, smooth service, and a welcoming vibe, definitely worth a visit.

Well, Jay and I decided to try some Texas style barbecue in France. It wasn't quite the same and…read moreI'll let you know how... First, the potato salad was not made with mayonnaise or mustard. It was just like a cold loaded mashed potato, but delicious!! The Black Eyed Peas inside my baked beans threw me off a little bit, but don't get me wrong. They were still amazing. I got a kick out of the loaded fries because they used whole little golden potatoes and a homemade cheese sauce. We then we added pulled pork to the top for spectacular result. I had a delicious beer that I could not pronounce. We probably overdid it with a large assortment of the meats: specifically pork spareribs, a trio of different types of brisket, and smoked pulled pork. The total came to $95 and it helped us feel a little closer to home. leftovers for lunch !
