Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers

I took my 5 kids here (age 12 down to 6 months) without mom. You can’t beat the kid’s meal ($ 5) which includes a fountain beverage, a healthy portion of shoestring fries, and cheeseburger. Plus, I felt very welcomed and attended to. Someone wiped down my table before I sat down and the same person also took my trays away when he noticed I didn’t have enough room for them. Also, the cashier was very patient even though it was a busy lunch hour. She also brought our ice cream to us when I was feeding the baby a bottle. I found it to be a good value and wonderful atmosphere. My kids are looking forward to coming back! The food was good enough for the kids but my 10 and 12 year old did notice a difference between 5 guys and shake shack.

We’re a fan of Freddy’s! Aside from having the elusive Chicago dog we’re always greeted with a smile at Freddy’s. The Chicago dog, while delicious, isn’t exactly true to it’s heritage, but missing the poppy seed bun and celery salt isn’t the end of the world. The dog definitely keeps us coming back. Additionally, the fries are great! We think we figured out the secret to the special fry dipping sauce, it’s ketchup and mayonnaise.
The customer service at Freddy’s is great. We regularly interact with the manager, they come around and chat with the customers and ask if everybody is pleased with the service. Also, the employees are always smiling and cheerful. Most of the employees seem to be high schoolers and I’m glad to see local small businesses treating our younger generation with respect. It makes me feel good about spending my money at Freddy’s. The employees definitely have fun, but I never see them congregating and wasting time or not working. Every one is busy and once they were out of sweet tea, I asked and they immediately started brewing more. I hope Freddy’s continues to value their employees because the customers notice happy employees and that is a business’s most valuable asset. We’re proud to have a Freddy’s in our back yard and we can’t wait to go back!

Nothing fancy or complicated here. Consistently delicious sandwiches and consistently excellent service have made this the go-​to place for a quick, good meal for my daughter and me (my wife likes Freddy’s, too, for the record).
Though Freddy’s comes across like a standard fast-​food chain, the food seems to be much better quality: I never experience that post-​fast food «Why did I EAT that?!» feeling after eating here. We’re particularly fond of the sandwiches (grilled cheese and grilled chicken), milkshakes (I’m sorry, «concretes»), and fries.
I’d say that 80% of the time we go to Freddy’s, the manager personally but unobtrusively comes over to make sure everything is to our liking.
Also: Freddy’s always seems to play Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 countdowns from the 70s and 80s, which is a bit of a plus (if you’re into that kind of thing).
If I had to ding Freddy’s for anything, it would be that its high, open ceilings produce a lot of echo when the place is crowded, making it hard for my 50-​year-​old ears to hear anything my daughter says while we’re there. But who rates a restaurant on its acoustics? Anyway, hats off to Freddy’s. Go there now for a sandwich and shake. I’m sorry, «concrete.»

Although this place has a nice setup, I would probably not eat here for a long time. I was actually excited about eating here for the first time, but the food did not vibe with me. The staff was extremely friendly and polite and the soda you get everywhere else was good too. Steak burgers… yea just give me a cheeseburger. A lot of people love their items, but I’ll drive right by and go to Wendy’s before I go here any day of the week.

My husband, toddler and I stopped in after driving by. We had a really great experience!
A manager (owner?) opened the door for us when we walked in which was kind considering it was a busy saturday at lunchtime.
I asked about gluten free options, which honestly I didn’t think would exist in a burger place that serves burgers, grilled chicken and hot dogs. I was hoping for a salad option and saw none. My husband was ready to go since it didn’t look like there would be an option for me, but I’m glad I decided to at least ask. They allow for a lettuce wrap around your meat of choice for an additional $.15. The manager behind the counter made sure to mention that the breaded chicken fingers are fried in the same oil as the french fries. I took my chances with the fries since I don’t get reactions on minor contamination. But he never looked at me like a weirdo for asking, he was very helpful with details I didn’t think to ask.
My daughter asked for a hot dog and our order was ready quickly… and correctly. The food was delicious and a generous portion of their shoestring fries. The fry sauce was really good, and I was eyeing up the bottle they sell at the counter. The same manager (owner?) that opened the door for us also teased my daughter about her hot dog and said he made it fresh just for her. He checked in again halfway through out meal and my daughter was being a typical toddler and not paying attention to me or her father when we asked her to take a bite. When the manager (owner?) came over and teased her again, she took a bite, and then finished the whole thing.
We were stuffed, but couldn’t help by order some custard. So creamy and smooth and delicious. Better than icecream!
The manager (owner?) came over and actually cleared the table for us. And again said bye to us when we left. We were very impressed with the customer service. The food was good, the service was good and the place was so nice and clean. I didn’t put my hand in an old ketchup stain, no weird old burger/​ketchup/​fastfood smell, even the soda machine was clean and wiped down. Everything was fully stocked and looked well taken care of.
Just overall a really nice experience. We’ll be back for sure.

Effing fantastic! Burgers are very well made, with good fresh patties and toppings. Their fries are amazing just on their own. Their fry sauce makes my mouth water. Much much better than Five Guys could ever be. The staff and counter help are very nice and helpful. The place was impeccably clean. We will be back!

While driving on Sproul road (RT 320) in Broomall, my nose was pleasantly «slapped» by the sweet aroma of fried onions. I really had no choice but, to visit «Freddy’s».
Inside are prominent colors of red and white and bekoning the nostalgia and stylings of the 50’s and 60’s. The overhead menu displayed full colored pictures of burgers, chicken and fries. Also featured were frozen treats and take out items.
You’ll be disappointed if you wish soup or salad; Freddy’s does not offer either item.
The veggie burger I ordered was flavorful despite a previously frozen state. The side of mushrooms was good. The onions that I smelled from Sproul Road matched my expectations. I enjoyed the meal. I will return.

Oh those hot delicious shoestring fries!!!
And The Freddy sauce is addictive.
Delicious hand made steak burger – not your run of the mill burger.
All their offerings looked super!

I met them in the middle…3-star for food and 5-​star for customer service. I will admit I ignored this place for a while because I already had a few favorite spots around town and I did not think I needed to try them out. I was in Chicago this past spring and loved their style of hot dog. While back in Pennsylvania I got a hankerin’ for one of those delicious style dogs, and found out that Freddy’s makes Chicago style hot dogs. I was so happy!!! Anyway, finally gave them a try and I have already been back a few more times. The food is good, including their nice array of dessert items, but the hot dog is not exactly on point. The quality of the dog is great BUT they don’t put it on a poppyseed style bun :(Not sure if that is a must but I certainly prefer it. French fries are tasty for a salt fix but they are very skinny fries so someone who likes more ‘thick/​homestyle’ fries many not like them. Either way the customer service is on point, and you can order your dessert and put it on hold (they keep it in a fridge all made up). I will be back!

3.5 Stars if that was an option.
This is a fancy fast food place by that I mean nicer than McD, BK, or Wendy. It’s a good place to bring your family for a quick bite to eat. I went with my wife and 2 yo daughter. The staff was very friendly, the place was pretty busy but it didn’t seem that way when we ordered our food, we were able to order right away. It was our first time there so they helped us with the menu. You order at a counter like most fast food places, they don’t have servers. All our meals were good. I had a Patty Melt meal that came with shoestring fries. It was decent haven’t had one in a while. Washed it down with a black and white sake that was pretty good. After we were done I was cleaning up and going to take our trays to dispose of the mess we made and someone that worked there came over and did that for us. Thought that was nice of them. Not sure if they do that all the time but it was appreciated.

#7 Bacon & Cheese Double Steakburger
Enough said! This is what keeps me coming back for more. The taste of those pressed steakburgers, crisp bacon, long-​sliced pickles, and condiments not to mention the mountain of shoestring fries and some Freddy’s sauce is heaven!
If you love fries like I do, it’s probably worth it to note that I have always gotten double the amount of fries when dining in the restaurant versus going through the drive-​through.

Eh…
If you’re looking for a family spot to bring the kids out for a burger, then this place will do. For me, I probably won’t be back. I had their bacon cheese combo. The burger really had no taste other than salt. The fries were like shredded potato. Don’t really have much more to say.
The place was clean, bright, and had plenty of room to sit.

If you don’t want a burger this is NOT the place to go.
No salads. A veggie burger and a grilled chicken sandwich are your only two options.
I went for the chicken and hated it. No taste, rubbery texture, and some tough chewing at times, it came on a burger roll with iceberg lettuce and 2 non Tomatoe tasting Tomatoe.
At least they have free wifi. The place is nice, reminiscent of an old burger and fountain shop. Well lit with an inviting appearance.
To their credit, a manager did stop by without any prompting by me to ask about the meal and offered to get me something else.

I think their food is excellent, the steak burgers are a pleasant change from your normal everyday burger or Wawa hoagie. We were given several tee shirts for our kids which gets them a free sundae if they wear them when we come here.
The owner is very nice, I have met him on numerous occasions. We have a large family, 11 kids and number 12 is on her way any day now and there is plenty of room to accommodate all of us. I like the fact that they do not serve alcohol. Family atmosphere.
Today I totally ordered to much. My eyes were definitely twice as big as my stomach. To make matters worse, I splurged on a sundae which I can’t even finish. I ate most of my fries… I love the small fries and their dipping sauce, which I was told is thousand island dressing. My double bacon burger was great, just too much for me. To top it all off the offer 15% off for veterans every Monday. Thanks guys keep it up.

I’ve now had their custard (in the form of a vanilla milkshake) so I’ll add that star. It was better than most shakes I’ve had in recent memory and the absolute selling point is that they give you a double wide straw. I’ve never seen anything like it but it’s brilliant and any place that has shakes should utilize them. I definitely wouldn’t have a stroke trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose here.
I ordered the cheese fries as well. I’ve mentioned before that their fries are unlike any other place. Real small and thin. It actually worked perfectly for pairing with cheese although a fork was necessary.
They use wiz, which I normally don’t like but I think it’s perfect for fries. My only issue was that they drowned the fries in wiz. I thought it was too much but I don’t take points off because one mans too much could be another mans perfection.
Overall it was a nice little snack. Both really hit the spot.

I’ll now say that maybe I’ve been harsh on this place.
Two take out orders resulted in two stars for me. The take out orders just didn’t work for me.
But I’ve now learned something. It’s much better here if you eat in.
Eating the burgers here when it comes straight off the grill are definitely much better than driving them home. Plus the fries are fresher, though I still believe the thin fries get cold faster.
But I’ve come around. And kudos to the nice gentleman in the dining room staff who helped me when I had my one year old son with me. I needed help and he went above and beyond to help me. Give him a raise.
The food is still about three stars, but they get the 4^th star on service and atmosphere from me.
Oh, and my son loved the grilled cheese. So the future Unilocaler is happy.

Its ok!
I tend to hit this place up every time I feel like a glutton. Comfort at its most convenient.
Atmosphere: Typical burger joint with a drive-​thru. Outdoor seating.
Quality: No issues, nothing special. Well done seasoned thin patties. Yum.
Service: Friendly! Some days service is fast and others you can tell they are in the weeds; be patient and the food will get to you issue free.
Value: Slightly pricy for what you get, but only slightly.
My experience: On many occasions I have downed a dog or burger with all my desired fixins’ including the shoestrings with fry sauce.

This place is awesome! If you want a place your friends will go to the trouble of taking a picture of themselves flipping the bird to send you when you send them a picture of your meal when they’re not there, this is the place!
I went with the BBQ Bacon double steak burger and fries and then went back for a S’mores malted concrete. This place is awesome! The staff would actually come by to check on you, take any trash and see if you need anything. THIS is how «fast food» should be done.
Did I mention they make malts? Yup, they seem to be uncommon at best here on the east coast, but they do them right here. And if I haven’t mentioned it yet, this place is awesome!

I have been putting off trekking to Freddy’s for a bit now.
Located in Broomall it’s a hike from me, but being in the mood for a burger that seemed
close to Steak & Shake we had to try.
After a pain in the asshole drive we finally made it, not sure why the hell they put it out
here. I can see it doing awesome in the city or north east (hint hint).
I looks good at a glance, lots of hustling employees. Clean inside and friendly.
I know if I come back it will be a bit, so I order one of each.
Haven’t eaten in a bit so the deluge of food will fill nicely.
The ice cream came out first, nothing wrong with dessert first. We’re fucking adults,
we can do what we want.
Great creamy custard and fresh toppings. It made a nice appetizer.
They food is cooked fresh to order, which is awesome and shortly it was ready.
The onion rings were good, as the fries. They are the typical thin shoe string.
Not bad, but fresh cut would have been sweet.
The burger was divine. Hot and seasoned with a almost crisp outer crust.
Fuck ya! They nailed it. I put this one up there in the ranks.
The hot dog was decent but lacked something.
If in the area it’s a must try. Maybe grab a 10 patty burger.

5 stars for faster food. Cooked to order so its not as fast as say a Mickey d’s.
FRESH food. Comfortable interior. actually its a fun interior reminiscent of the 60s.
The fries are to die for. If you’re a fry fan stop in!
Burgers are huge so i opt for smaller versions.
