A couple of friends that have been going here for years got me on this place. Coming from the west end of Sauga I wish we had a more joints like this out my way.
What makes it great? Well in a nutshell the service, food, and atmosphere are all top notch. It is hard to find bars in Mississauga with true character but Fred's fits the bill.
The beer selection is good and the waitresses are all super friendly. The owner will walk around greeting and checking in with customers. There are a lot of regulars too and there is a real welcoming vibe about the place.
I have been here for a couple of sporting events and there isn't a bad seat in the house. Great atmosphere as well with everyone getting into the game.
As for food everything had been good but the real standout is the grilled calamari. I have had it at some top end Greek and Italian restaurants and I honestly think Fred's is the best I've had. Cut thick, seasoned and grilled perfectly and topped with an awesome bruschetta mix with bread for dipping. Can't recommended it enough.
