| - Stopped at Freddy's off of 521 for a Late Lunch/early Dinner and to get our kid some Frozen Custard. It was my first visit to the chain and I had no idea what to expect other than my wife telling me she got Frozen Custard there and it was good.
The inside feels like an nicer Checker's - not quite a sit down place, but not quite a fast food chain. The number of workers there was shocking - 4 people behind the registers, 3 people at the drive through window, 2 people at the food-pickup location, and random people in the cooking area. We counted over a dozen - I couldn't believe it.
The first thing I noticed after seeing the hoard of employees was the place was not very clean - it wasn't dirty, but for being pretty new, it should have been spotless. The floors had trash on them from people dropping food and wrappers, and they must not use the right cleaner as the floors felt slippery, though no grime was on top of them.
I ordered a steak burger with fries, and my wife got a hot dog. The food came out in a few minutes. The burger was like a good Steak'N Shake burger - much more flavor though and the beef tasted fresh. The amount of fries was a little pathetic and they weren't very tasty.
The custard is awesome, creamy, tasty, cheap. It was a highlight for sure - they run a special every week. This week was $0.50 cones - and they blow QT's away! The week before was Custard in a collectible Baseball hat, the next week is sundaes and the week after are a blizzard like creation. It's a nice addition to keep things fresh since the only flavors are Vanilla and Chocolate.
The food and location are good, though not amazing. The layout is nice, but cleaning and routine upkeep needs to be addressed - with a workforce like that it should be as clean as Chic-fil-A. Not a bad visit - but definitely room for improvement. We will visit again and I hope I can create a positive update.
