 a tray with fries and a drink
Krissia G.

To be honest for me this isn't it. Decided to try this for dinner, just because we always pass by it and we always say we should try this place see what they have! We ordered the snickers shake but honestly this was pure sugar for me!! I couldn't even finish it. We ordered the Original Double Steakburger with Cheese Combo and fries. The fries were great not to salty but yeah I'm sorry the burger wasn't it either. Felt like a White Castle burger but White Castle is a little better in my opinion. Maybe if we try something else next time but not sure if I'll be coming back any time soon.

sarcastic note on the receipt with a sad face.

Sad place, they used to be good. The Orlando, Fl location at Waterford did not include a bun on the hotdog. If you are out of buns talk to the person face to face. Not professional at all! They also left stuff off of three items. This was a $64.00 order with many mistakes and No communication at all about the bun-less hotdog. I waited 15 minutes for the order and they did not say a thing about the order. Stay away from the Waterford location in Orlando.

WTF IS THIS AND WHY WAS IT IN MY DRINK???????????
David G.

My girlfriend and I ordered 2 meals, My girlfriend got a sweet tea and I got a root beer. After sitting down to eat, she said her tea tasted "sour" and didn't want to drink it. I thought it was probably just unsweetened tea and tried it myself but after taking a sip it definitely tasted tangy/sour. I put the drink in the kitchen and grabbed her a different drink and thought nothing of it. Today, I went to take out the trash and emptied our cups to throw them away. Well, after pouring her "sweet tea" out, I noticed this clump that initially looked like hair at the end of her straw. I want to actually vomit right now... Looking at it more closely, it doesn't look like hair even though it has a similar string-like texture. I have no idea what it is but it's nauseating to look at and I cant stop gagging thinking about how my girlfriend and I drank from this straw. It almost looks like mucus whether its spit, snot or something else. Unsweet tea, flat soda, or any other excuse to why the drink tasted weird would've been a MILLION times better than finding this clump. I will NEVER EVER NEVER EVER eat at this location or ANY steak and shake again. I really feel like this has to be addressed on a larger scale than some Yelp review because having something as vile as this be in my girlfriend's drink is honestly a FDA nightmare at best. I would sleep much better at night knowing this location is closed for good...

Single Steakburger

I was surprisingly impressed with this Steak 'n Shake location. My party of five arrived around 3AM, and the restaurant was relatively full of college students. Nonetheless, we were seated immediately, and our food came out quickly, which is very unlike this restaurant chain. The server also checked on our table, frequently refilled our beverages, and made sure we had a good experience. The food was decent - you get what you pay for. With $3 meals, and a restaurant full of post-drinking students, I actually enjoyed my experience here.

7x7 burger with toppings
Huu T.

Great for late nights, open 24/7. The 7x7 burger is a monster. 7 patties and 7 layers of cheese. Delicious going in but quickly upset my stomach and could feel my arteries clogging...

Burgers are excellent, their specialty milkshakes are 20/10, but their french fries could do a bit better.

Such a fun spot for happy hour! We came in ready to relax and left already planning our next visit…read more The drink specials were generous and the vibe was warm and lively without being too loud to actually talk. Hands down the star of the show was the shrimp dish, perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best we've had in a while. We ended up ordering a second round just to enjoy it a little longer. Service was friendly and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great happy hour with a standout menu item, The Whyskey delivers. We'll definitely be back!

We popped over here for lunch on a Saturday around two in the afternoon. We were very surprised…read morewith how busy it was as it's typically not that busy on Saturday afternoons. We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

Came here after an Orlando Magic game. Late night comfort food joints are a staple of Downtown…read moreOrlando, and they are desperately needed. Looking around after the game, a smash burger sounded like just the thing we needed. Ambiance was nice. Good, chill vibes, a random door to a random next-door bar. Plenty of viable seating for my party of six. Service was pretty ok. The front counter worker was nice enough, but the food took forever to come out. Much longer than I would expect for the products we ordered. The food itself was dynamite. I got the Papi Big Mak (Two Florida-raised beef patties, smashed onions, lettuce, American cheese, sweet-heat pickles, tostone "Middle Bun" , Papi Mak sauce, Sesame Martin Potato Roll). This was a fun thing. The patties had a good crisp to them. The totstone did not, though, so it got a little lost in the bite and chew. Needed more sauce. And that sesame seed bun really helped out a lot, too. A little extra texture in every bite. I was a fan. I also got the chance to try the Umami Papi (Two Florida-raised beef patties, crispy bacon, white cheese, sweet-heat pickles, crispy onion, raspberry jam, Uuuumami truffle sauce, sesame buns). This one was a better topping combination. The pickles had a nice pop of acid, the raspberry jam really stood out, adding a nice sweetness, and the truffle sauce, never thought I needed it on a burger. I did. Standout burger. I also got the Papis Loco Fries. I forget exactly what these fries were topped with, but the cheese, just look at it. Congealed just perfectly. A good side item, for sure. Overall, this greasy meal is out there doing the good work for the people. Maybe this was a four star meal overall, but I'm not sitting, that Umami Papi was a standout for me, and the reason I now give five stars.

Pros: Ambiance was typical downtown hustle and bustle…read more Attached to other businesses with mystery doors. Good vibes. Food was good. Nice, crispy edges on the patties, and I loved how many sesame seeds were on the buns. Great flavor. Cons: The only thing was that they waited for our whole party's order to be ready before calling names, instead of just serving them as they came. This lead to cold burgers. Tips: Make sure you arrive early! If you wait too long, they switch to a smaller, less interesting menu.

Taste: 4/5 Value:…read more4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Pretty solid burger spot that, as the name suggests, lets you fully customize your burger. They offer beef, chicken, Impossible, and veggie patties, along with a wide variety of cheeses and buns to choose from. My Impossible Burger was tasty, but I'm not sure it quite justified the price. On our first visit, I got a very impressive looking shake loaded with toppings, unfortunately it wasn't on the menu this time around. It's not my top pick for burgers, but it's definitely not a bad option either.

I remember seeing this establishment and it's owner featured on CNBC's YouTube channel. Since then,…read moreit's been on my list of places to try out to support local businesses. To my surprise, I was disappointed by the food. I got the loaded frings and a 5 x 5 burger. I believe the burger is relatively new, since it wasn't on any of the pictures of their menu on Google. Ambiance: The staff was friendly enough and I do like the fact that you can see them cooking the burgers in front of you. However, looking around at the restaurant, it looks like there was no upkeep. There were broken tiles, tables weren't cleaned, and I believe there might have been mold when I was filling my water cup at the ice machine, like visibly on the spout. Food: Loaded frings- I'm not sure how you mess this one up, but they somehow did it. The fries were overcooked and the bacon was fried to hell. I think you can actually see how burnt the bacon was in the pictures. It tasted like charcoal. Lastly, the fries were completely soaked in cheese sauce, which I'm guessing was from a can. It tasted like the cheese you'd have at state fairs, except more watery. There was more sauce than fries and onion rings! I should have taken a picture after eating half of the fries. I could not eat the bottom half of the frings because it was all soggy Burger- the same cooked-to-hell bacon was used on the burger. Not much else need to say about that. Looking at the picture of the burger, you'd think that the patties were way overcooked as well. That was not entirely the case. The patties weren't extra dry, but they weren't as juicy as I would have liked a burger to be. I'd say it was just okay. Maybe a half step below average. I really wanted to like this place, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure if I came by on an odd day, because the reviews say otherwise. I really hope management can fix these issues.

I sadly just realized that I have never reviewed Freddy's. I have been here so often that I…read moreassumed that I already had! Time to fix that oversight. Now this review has nothing to do with that my father's name was Freddy and that my mother's favorite treat was frozen custard. But those little tidbits of information don't hurt. The warm feeling that I get when I eat frozen custard reminiscent of enjoying it on the boardwalk with my mom is renewed at Freddy's not because of the ambience of the restaurant, but because of that same delicious taste that my mind still seems to remember from long ago that I have not found anywhere else before this. But I digress. Freddy's may look like your typical fast food restaurant, but it is anything but. I already loved it for the burgers, the french fries with their wonderful sauce, and of course, the custard but now they have a salad as well. Really fresh greens with my favorite burger on top as a garnish. Low-carb great taste and totally filling. But not so filling as to not leave room for that wonderful custard. On this particular visit, I did run into an issue which I will not lower my rating because of, but want people aware of so it does not happen to them. If you have a coupon for a discounted custard, and they ring in any other item after that, it will restore the custard to the full price on their register. I did not notice that and paid the full price. The manager did give me a card for a free custard next visit so they certainly took responsibility but just wanted people aware to keep an eye on that. In defense of the staff, I don't think they noticed either that it had occurred, so I did not allow that to detract from my impression of five star service from their pleasant, friendly and attentive staff Of course the custard is a star. It comes in all sorts of different ways to serve it. I tend to usually be a purist indeed, as a soft serve, but sometimes their specials are so exciting that I cannot resist. I have never tasted any of them that I did not find awesome. Their steakburgers should not be left as an afterthought. These are not like other fast food burgers; the meat is actually very tasty and because there's not any "proprietary" seasonings on it I even order an extra one so that I can sit outside with my puppy and she can enjoy it. It is small enough to not be unhealthy for her and big enough to be a satisfying snack. Its fat content does not make her ill like the typical fast food burger would. I personally like the fries and find the sauces to be quite good. Prices are more than reasonable and they have hours that make them convenient whenever you're hungry or craving that custard fix. I am a Freddy's fan and wish they would open one closer to where I live in Miami.

I had never heard of this establishment before, so when I drove past it for the first time a few…read moreweeks ago, I was intrigued. I went inside to order and eat. The resturant inside was very clean, and the employees working behind the counter were very nonchalant. I ended up ordering their grilled chicken sandwich combo with their famous skinny fries. My mom got the Freddy's Original double combo with a Turtle milkshake and onion rings. The sandwich portion was big. The chicken was very juicy and tasted alright. The fries, however, were not seasoned. I had to get a salt and pepper packet to season them. At that point, they were very good, tasty, and crispy! Overall, the meal was okay. It was nothing spectacular but also nothing terrible either. As for my mom, she wasn't very impressed with her hamburger. She said the portion size was good, but she would describe the hamburger itself as "lacy." She said it was okay, but since it took us 27 minutes to get here, she said Culver's was better in quality and closer. She was underwhelmed by the onion rings. She said it was more of the fried breading and barely any onion inside. However, she did enjoy her milkshake, but struggled to suck it up through the straw. It was enjoyable to try a new establishment, but it was just a mid experience for me.
