Service

Pros:

  • "Ron, the bartender, in particular makes every visit an enjoyable experience."
  • "Service staff was efficient, friendly and attentive!"
  • "Our server Stephanie recommended the West coast OG burger and it was quite tasty. Her service was efficient and she was friendly."

  • "Mea was an excellent server! She's made us feel welcomed and was very knowledgeable about all items on the menu."
  • "Our server, Jenna, made us feel like we’ve been friends forever."

Cons:

  • "The waiter a older lady was very very rude and came to our table to take our order and give us our check that’s about it."
  • "Four tables in the whole restaurant and the food came out an hour after we ordered. Fries cold, waitress visibly upset."
  • "To start, we sat ourselves and waited roughly 15 minutes to be greeted, given menus, or had our drink orders taken."
  • "Despite this, the server took a while to even come over, and when she did, she seemed really impatient."
  • "The only thing I would have to say is menus and getting our first initial drinks could’ve been a little bit faster."
  • "Service is always friendly, if at times a little slow…but that’s probably more due to the unpredictable summer."
  • "Totally disappointed and have no intensions of returning. Pictures posted are deceiving."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Had an awesome short rib grilled cheese sandwich for lunch with my family."
  • "Everything on the menu is so delicious! I highly recommend the short rib Benny."
  • "The food was ridiculously amazing. Omg the smoked meatloaf and brisket was sinful."
  • "The short ribs mac & cheese has the most incredible flavor."
  • "The food was absolutely delicious, beers were cold & atmosphere was nice."
  • "The bang bang shrimp is always a great starter and the St. Louis ribs are smoked so well and fall right off the bone."
  • "The food & drinks are always amazing and their prices are extremely reasonable."

Cons:

  • "Basically, everything is WAY overpriced for what you actually get."
  • "The egg white in the over easy eggs was not fully cooked and was running more than the yolk."
  • "The chicken sandwich also looked nothing like pictured. It came out and wasnvery disappointing."
  • "We immediately sent back the brisket sandwich because it lacked taste."
  • "Just had 4 bad takeout experiences in a row. Todays order [7-22-23] was the worst and final. We took out ribs and chicken wings and they were black and completely dried out."
  • "The Nashville hot chicken was horribly over cooked, very crunchy and no flavor at all."
  • "Our food was below regular, dry overcooked chicken and waffles, under seasoned burgers."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "The place has been cleaned up, its both warm and inviting."

  • "It's a great atmosphere."
  • "The atmosphere was very warm and pleasant."
  • "The atmosphere is very charming and warm."
  • "The ambiance of the establishment is so cute and homey."

Cons:

  • "This place simply didn’t meet expectations, and then the 'confusion' with the bill (that was never corrected) was the last straw. We won’t be back."
  • "It was a little too loud for the small space, but we sat at the back so it was ok and we enjoyed the music."
  • "They really need to rethink their menu. Not enough selection at all."
  • "The prices were very high for the area and atmosphere."
  • "At this point, we also noticed the dessert drink we enjoyed was $17! For one drink. Wow."
  • "Disaster!! Horrible experience with terrible staff! & inconsiderate ‘Manager’."
  • "Definitely not going to this establishment again."

Value

Pros:

  • "Make sure to check out their specials because they always have a lot of cool and different stuff!"
  • "They have a large beer selection, many specialty cocktails, and a rotating weekly specials menu."
  • "Definitely wasn't getting dive bar vibes sitting on the patio and prices reflect that; very reasonable for the area."
  • "We certainly got our moneys worth with the portion sizes!"
  • "Prices are very reasonable and you do get a nice portion size."
  • "The food menu has barely anything on it, and forget about eating healthy since everything is fried."
  • "Featuring both indoor and outdoor seating, Freddy J’s never disappoints."

Cons:

  • "For a price (with tip) of over $100, it seemed really expensive for lunch."
  • "The short rib burger was nothing but a double cheeseburger. It Had Literally ONE piece of short rib on the burger."
  • "The bill came and a few things were different prices than what showed on the menu. The beers we had were twice the price that was advertised."
  • "But if I have one piece of constructive criticism it’s to stop charging for fries— it smacks of a used car dealer."
  • "But the hummus plate may have been the worst hummus I ever had."
  • "Some of the things that are on their website they no longer serve and it's really too bad."
  • "The food taste and quality are wildly inconsistent from time to time."
