Freddy's is definitely in the same league as In 'N Out and Five Guys. This is a compliment as I love those places. The bad news is that I'd rather have either of those, and they are both within a few blocks of Freddy's. If you want frozen custard, then it's probably worth it (however I didn't try it - but I'm sure it's good based on the amount of people ordering it). Personally, if I was really craving shoe-string fries, I'd go to Freddy's. While it's not my favorite fast food burger, the steak burger is also very good and you will like it.
