Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steak Burgers

I have been hard at delivery driving and took a break and bought me a late lunch. I had originally planned to go somewhere else but the place I had in my mind I found out is closed on Monday. I decided to choose a place called Freddy's, as an alternative.

Freddy's is a franchise that was established in Wichita, Kansas, in 2002. Today there are over 560 locations in 37 States. Texas leads the way with the most locations.

The place tries to portray a kind of 1950s feel. The place is usually pretty full but I went at about 2:30 p.m. so things are slow. A cool fact is that Bingo is played at this one every 4th Tuesday of the month. To play you just have to buy meal. A game is played every 30 minutes from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Yes, prizes are won and I can't tell you what because I have never participated.

The place serves a few different kind of burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, chicken strips, and of course a few different varieties of frozen custard. If you get a combo, you get your choice of fries, tator tots or kettle chips. For a little extra you can also sub any of them out for cheese curds.

I chose the grilled cheese steak burger with fries. The burgers includes two steak patties, two each of american & swiss cheese, crispy bacon, tomato spread paste all in between two slices of Texas toast. The fries are the thin straw type fries. The fries are perfect for dipping the fry sauces you pick up at the condiment counter. I got one of each of the three you can get. The ketchup was reserved for dipping my sandwich into.

The three types of fry sauce are the original fry sauce, jalapeño sauce and smoky sauce. I like all three so I got all three, haha. The original is really mild I would say it's like a mixture of mayonnaise and ketchup with a spice of something else. The jalepeno one is not all that hot in my opinion. You can really taste the jalepeno flavor. The smoked one is super tasty and yes it has a nice smoked flavor.

The burger and fries was quite filling. I think I paid nearly $13.00 for this. I got a drink with it as well, it was just a unsweet tea. When I first walked in the door I was already thinking of how I was going to taste some frozen custard. I felt I needed to treat myself to something sweet!

Here we are, time for the hardiest pick. You can get a shake, concrete mixer (malt like), sundae, cone or dish. You can create your own or get a signature one. There is only two flavors of custard (vanilla & chocolate). Sizes are mini, regular and large.

I decided on a regular sized Strawberry Dream Cake sundae. It did not at all have the appearance of what I was expecting. The person who made it put a tad bit too much of crumbles on top. I was watching and I was like holy cripes. Maybe they thought I said Strawberry crumble cake 😆 A spoonful of crumbles would have been ideal, but they used a scoop cup. I'm sure it was a mistake. I had to push some of it to the side to eat, it was thick. After a while, I just had to eat a spoonful or two of crumbles.

Here are some better representation of this dessert. It includes vanilla custard, cheesecake pieces, strawberry puree, and cinnamon streusel (aka crumbles). Upon getting past the streusel, I noticed they over did the strawberry puree 😆 I wasn't going to throw a fit maybe this person was new. All in all it was still good just a little work to get a taste of everything in one bite. The cost was around $6.00 after tax.

Probably a 6 out 10 experience for me today. I've been here numerous times before and can easily say its a 8 out 10. The food was good but one shouldn't have to work to get thier treat down. Once a quarter of the sundae was gone I really got to start enjoying it. I'll be back another time but it may be awhile.

That's all I have for you today. Take care, stay safe and bites away! Until next time!

Vibes were good indeed. A bit disappointing in sundae 🍨 but after getting the overload of toppings out of the way I would say it was good

What a shame—the story was about to reach its climax! Hahaha… just kidding.

6 out 10 is very condescending! 🤣

I have been too busy and tired and didn't want to work myself up. So I worked to make it taste better, haha.

I'm very lenient 6 out 10 might be considered high for some. The food was good no hiccups there. The ice cream creations though well....

The ice cream creations...

🤣

It’s just that you’re a critic in those things—and you know all about fried ice cream and stuff, imagine!

Take care, my friend. Good night. I'm heading to bed now.

Thanks Amiga a few little choices to be had. I think you need a little ice cream (helado) experience. Perhaps on one of those last warm days if there are any left!

The usual dip of fried here in our place was combination of mayo and ketchup. But I love just ketchup on my salted fried, I tried this one time and it become my fav. No cheese powder, just sprinkle of salt and banana ketchup. UwU

Anyways, that's good pair of food. The grilled cheese steak burger looks fire. I think i'll need two of that, haha. And a sweet treat after? Perfect ✨🕺🌼

The fried sauces are super tasty. The jalepeno and smoked are so flavorful but the original one isn't too shabby either. I'm still full and not feeling an appetite. It succeeded in that sense.

The place tries to portray a kind of 1950s feel.

I fully agree with you on that, but for me it's not a bad thing, I like the place.

I'm not going to say anything about the food as it's 9pm and you made me hungry with it 😬😂

On a different note, I was thinking how delivery differs im out country. Here you place the order in the app, the store prepares the order and then the ridet picks it up and delivers it.

Hi friend basically the same here. The person who orders can even see where Im at.

I like the fifties look sometimes the music matches the look. This time younger people working and they had a local radio station playing. I dont know maybe I go to bingo night one of these days maybe with even a straw hat for luck, haha

Its a bit more smoother and creamier than your typical ice cream. Taster is subject to ones taste buds, hehe. Bring frozen custard to the Philippines!!

Freddys? We don't have them here, but we are certainly not lacking in other fast food franchises.

The original Culvers started north of me and I used to drive by frequently. Cones were $1. No change required.

That thing looks really good, only a 6/10 though? I've never been to one before, I'm not sure if we have any here yet. We may, it's just that there are so many restaurants around it's hard to keep up with them all. You have the advantage of driving a lot right now so you probably know them all by heart!

Hopefully you'll get back to work soon with a paycheck. They really are making it as painful as possible this time around!

Don't get me wrong it was good. It just took awhile to enjoy its taste. Too much streusel on top, it was caked with it. If it was just sprinkled on top it would have been a lot better.

Yes I am exhausted driving a lot. I get to go into work Wenesday night to work an aircraft upload. I look foward to that despite I won't see pay for it yet. I just miss the co workers and the job. I seen one of the. other day, delivered food to one of them, haha. What are the odds?

That is funny running into a coworker on a delivery! I hope they fit the military category where they still are getting paychecks. That is something the president did very right, making sure our military gets paid even with the shutdown. But still, guys like you are surviving off side gig work. Even when you get the back pay, it goes to catch up bills that fell behind because you weren't getting paid. And then if the check is too big it increases your tax withholdings... You can't win either way!
