| - I love burgers and this place is awesome! I don't know why it has taken me so long to try it. Every time I'm in the area I see the long line at the drive-thru here so when that many people line up, you know it must be good.
This is my new go-to pre-movie quick dinner before hitting the Colonnade for a film. Freddy's is FAST. I mean, order and you'll get your fresh and hot order in 5 minutes or less. I don't know how they do it. I also don't know how they can have such low prices. Seriously! My husband and I had a soda, cheese fries, double bacon burger and a triple cheeseburger and our total, with tax, was around $16.00. Now you can't beat that for a meal of this quality!
If you are watching your carbohydrate intake or are an Atkins / low-carb eater, Freddy's is wonderfully accommodating! They will wrap your burger in lettuce or just give you the meat with a fork and knife. They don't act weird and employees actually understand that you want a lettuce wrap.
The burgers are very small and thin but they are super flavorful with a nice little "crust" around the edge. I would compare them to a cross between Smashburger and In-N-Out. There are lots of free toppings you can add to your meal as well as reasonably priced premium add-ons like chili and bacon. If you are extra hungry, I'd recommend the triple patty burger. That's what I normally order and it's a good size and will take the wrinkles out of your belly (I don't eat fries or bread so I NEED that extra meet and cheese)!
The chili here is kind of gross. I wouldn't recommend it. And if you order the cheese fries, beware that it's not real cheese. They are covered in squirt day-glo fake cheese (like Cheez-Whiz). Yuck. The cheese slices on the burgers are nice and melty however. Don't miss the fry sauce (much loved in Utah) available at the counter. I like to slather it on my cheeseburger (it's basically thousand island dressing).
The menu is simple and straightforward -- burgers, fries, frozen custard and hot dogs. Be sure to ask about any special promotions so you won't miss out on a tasty bbq bacon burger with onion rings!
I've never had the frozen custard here but the desserts and sundaes look super delicious. If you have a kid under 12, buy them a Freddy's t-shirt for $5 and each time they wear it to the restaurant and buy a kid's meal, they'll get free frozen custard. Luckily they don't have a promotion like this for adults or I'd weigh about 400 pounds.
The soda fountain has Pepsi products and Diet Dr. Pepper! The interior dining room has a red and white vintage vibe and is spotlessly clean. Ample seating and friendly employees. I love this place and I am fast on my way to becoming a regular.
