FAMOUS FOR THE FUN KNOWN FOR THE FOOD
One of my favorite moments when I go to Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is when I take my first bite of the burger patty that is by itself, a patty larger Affordable than the bun it hides Fresh Seafood, inside and a piece that Sandwiches, Salads, sticks out. and much more!

It’s not just salted A Real Dining Over down, but sprinkled the Water Experience with their own concoction, Freddy’s Famous Steakburger & Family-Oriented Atmosphere Fry Seasoning.

This was a Wednesdays from 4-7pm meal unto itself, and I was so in tune with my burger 10.99 plus tax and curds that I completely forgot to ask for some Buffet Includes Dessert jalapenos.

The vanilla custard was topped with pineapple, Since 1964 strawberry, coconut, macadamia nuts, whipped cream and a cherry. Its mixture of creaminess and Try Our crunchiness was more than I could handle, a volcano of explosive flavors. Yeah, now I know why Famous Freddy’s is so famous for its custard.
