| - 2 or 2.5. Eh....I don't think I can do it ever again. I've tried Freddy's 3 times just to be sure and give them a fair shake. The first bit is some social commentary. Feel free to move on down to the meat of the review. (See what I did there. I did it twice).
Are you bored? Lonely? Needy? Well the new captive audience for you folks can be found in the nearest drive-thru. Feel free to pull up and order 4 or 5 combos with TONS of modifications, and then add a few more random, single items just to prolong the conversation. All told, you should be able to get someone's undivided attention for at least 20 minutes. If you are really feeling in need of attention, please ask the person at the window all kinds of questions about when the mall opens, what stores are inside, and if they have ever tried Famous Dave's. You could probably stretch that out to a full half hour of attention.
Please ignore the blonde woman behind you mocking you and yelling out, "Are you sure you're finished? There are 2 items on the menu you didn't order!" OK. I've only fantasized about doing that last part, but it's bound to happen if I'm ever in the perfect vortex of PMS, bladder capacity, sleep deprivation, and hunger.
Anyway, I've tried the burgers and dogs and shakes 3 times. All have been a disappointment for the most part. The first time I got the patty melt and it was really really greasy, but I was really, really hungry and I ate it anyway and boy oh boy did I pay the price. Lost 10 lbs. that weekend. I also ordered a chocolate malt and it was watery and had very little flavor.
Second time I ordered the combo with the regular hot dog and it was ok. And Mr. M ordered the Freddy's Original double. The fries were very greasy, but the dog was ok. I thought about going back for a hot dog, but not a burger. The burger was so greasy it was inedible. Mr. M ended up getting a burger from Wendy's.
Then I went back for the 3rd and final time and ordered a dog again with a little mustard and a little relish. There was a huge amount of relish under the dog and the bun was hard and crumbly. That didn't stop me from eating the wiener. You know it. The ice tea was ok. The staff has always been friendly, but I just don't think I can do it again. I have had better.
