| - Finally got around to trying Freddy's in Indian Land. It was brand new but the staff training must have been pretty good as the place ran smoothly, was clean and they were able to get product out in good order.
I strongly disagree with people who throw out five star ratings on a first visit. How can you have tried everything at different times of the day to so judge? In one visit can I go 4-stars as a "fan"? Or can I go 5-stars saying that Freddy's is as good as it gets? Absurd. Three stars = A-OK. Over time and repeat visits they just might get 4 stars.
In my case, it was a first visit and it was A-OK. I just had a double burger meal with fries and a soda.
Freddy's model is similar to Whataburger, In and Out Burger and Steak and Shake. The ordering is done, you wait, and you pick up the order when your number is called, a la Whataburger/In and Out Burger. The product is a sh-mushed beef patty, tasting like 100% beef, and you can specify what you want on the burger. I do not like catsup, so want it deleted. I was happy that they paid attention to that. Their steak burgers are very much like Steak and Shake.
There is "fries sauce," which is a mild 1000 Island tomato infused mayo and that can also come on your burger.
I had an issue with the salt-laden fries. Shoe string sized they are perfectly cooked and are pretty much fresh out of the fryer. BUT...they were close to inedible. Way too much salt.
I mentioned this to the counter boss and they suggested that I ask for the fries to be unsalted. I interpreted from that answer that the fries I received were how they made them, so the customer has to decide.
Will be back to try their custard and other ice cream products. Glad to see something new in Indian Land.
I would suggest that you do ask for unsalted french fries.

Wanted to do an update but ended up in edit mode.
Wife and I returned to Freddy's. Wanted her opinion. She agrees with 3 stars A-OK with comments.
I did order my fries unsalted and they accommodated that request without comment. Yea!
Each of us had burgers and both thought them good like Steak and Shake. Iced tea was good, as it should be.
Wife had onion rings and they were not so good. Greasy and out of a package. Reminded me of the greasy glob one can get at JJ's Red Hots in Ballantyne. Will give them a pass and recommend you do, also.
Discovered that their "fry sauce" comes in regular and hot. Regular is a catsup/mayo mix and the hot is darker and contains jalapenos. It really is not hot in the least and one would not know you had the hot upon tasting it.
Did try the custard. Our airport driver told us that it was the best she ever had, so...
We split a cup of half and half, chocolate and vanilla. It was very good, dense and tasty. And it did not taste eggy, a common fault found in cheap versions of custard. Highly recommend you dig into one of their sundaes as there are varieties of toppings and combos for the custards. Yum!
For peak lunch time it was not crowded, so wonder whether people are voting with their feet already.
Worth a visit if you want good burgers and excellent custard. Just beware of the salt-laden fries...go salt-less and you can add regular or their season salts later.
