Fred's Downtown Philly

Came back again and the place is now under new management and has gone through a nice little remodel. The new staff is very friendly and you feel very welcomed when you enter. I opted to try out a Fat Fred Burger, which is a burger with cheese steak meat on it and a homey mustard sauce. The burger as I expected is delicious and the bun is perfect. This place continues to impress me. The cheese steaks here are ridiculously good. Will be back!

Absolutely LOVE this place! Everyone there - from the manager to the staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is great & is the closest thing I've had in Texas that compares to Philly. They even have water ice!!! Gotta keep it OG with the pepper, ketchup, pickles, and onions👌. Will def be back again and again. Well worth the drive.

Our family really enjoys eating here. We haven't been in since the remodel so I'm interested to see what all has changed and I hope the food is just as great as before. Philly's are amazing! Fries were always good. Burgers are good. Service was always friendly and Fred was a hoot when we met him a while back.

I really enjoyed my lunch at this location. First off the staff is very welcoming and friendly; Great service. To me that is the first thing I look for when entering any establishment. Secondly, the food... one of the best philly steak sandwich’s outside of Philly I have ever had. It was well prepared, seasoned just right, perfectly shaved onions, the generous amount of meat, and just the right amount of melt in your mouth cheese! This location gives you a “I’m at home” vibe. When you are near Hurst, TX, within a 100 miles... make this a must go to spot. You wont be disappointed.

The food taste good but my wife and I both had the cheese steaks and there was barely anything on them. The little flavor we tasted was very good but it was hard to get much of that flavor while we were mostly eating a sub bun. This was our 1st eating here so I'm not sure if this is the usual for this place.

My GF and I have driven by several times and heard her Uncle and Mother talking about how good it was, so we decided to check it out. If you have read any of my other posts, you can see a common thread of importance; service and hospitality. Upon walking in, we were greeted with a smile. The 2 brothers working the kitchen and register were very friendly and courteous. As "first-timers" they walked us through the menu and even gave suggestions on their favorites. Despite the restaurant being very full, our food came out in a timely manner. The cheese steaks were great! They have a large menu with loads of options (even vegetarian friendly options). My lone complaint is the lack of plastic knives and forks readily available. I am sure they have already corrected the issue, but if that is my biggest compliant, they are doing pretty darned good. I look forward to trying the "hot" cheese steak on my next visit. I think it is made with ghost peppers! Keep up the good work guys!! and good luck!

Ordered a number 2. The menu reads that it has onions and bell peppers. Didn't get any of that. The guy at the register didn't even say hello or asked what we would like. It's probably because he was chewing something. Maybe it's the Philly attitude. I don't know. I've never been. Besides that, the steak was tasty and drinks good. If the order was right I would have given 4 🌟.
