Fred's Downtown Philly

Visited freds for lunch since i was craving some philly cheesesteak. I went for the classic cheesesteak, must say I was impressed with the quality of the food. It was tasty. Service was quick and cost was nominal. Being from around Philly, i have had plenty of cheesesteaks to know the taste, it was definitely nostalgic to have it here. Also i love to support local businesses. I recommend everyone to definitely try it once.

Restaurant in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Order at the counter and pickup order when ready. We had #2 and a #4. Both were very very tasty. Staff was very helpful answering questions for us first time customers. Restaurant could do with a little tidying up. Recommend it.

Super nice family run place. Food is amazing. Try the double fat Freddy. So dang good. I go here as often as my waistline allows me. Lol.

This place is amazing!!!! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I ordered the black bean hoagie The classic Philly. Sweet potato fries. Fried pickles. Everything was cooked perfectly. It was so delicious. I hate that I didn’t get to take pictures. We ate it so fast. Lol!! I definitely will be back!

I had the Philly cheesesteak and cheese t was great, bread was on point and the meat full of flavor, exceptional service

I try every Philly I can anywhere I go and this is the best. They make ranch in house as well. Sides are always good, not greasy. Place is even better that it is family owned and operated.

Man, there is something about a damn good cheese steak that just makes your whole week good. Fred's make one of the best. 10/10 Add cheese wiz. The Vet is my favorite one to order, and dont forget the hot house sauce!

Fred’s is located in an old strip center. Not the nicest area. Their big competitor in the area Big Tony’s is across the street. Inside is what you think a Philly place would like. Very basic with a lot of hockey and Philadelphia stuff. No frills here. Your order at the cashier and then sit down and they will call your name or sometimes bring it out to you. They have a variety of cheesesteak to choose from as well as salads, burgers, and sandwiches. I have only tried the cheesesteak. On this trip I got the mushroom cheesesteak which is steak, sauteed onions, mushrooms, and cheese on a roll they bring in from Philly. I got the 10 inch. They have a smaller size as well. I skipped the fries this time. They are good though. Steak was tender and cheese and mushrooms blended in nicely. They do offer some sauce options. One is the original house sauce and the other is a hot version. I don’t usually do a sauce on my cheesesteak but the house sauce is really good. The hot version is hotter, but tastes more like a traditional hot sauce. As mentioned nothing fancy about this place. It’s about the food and for me it’s a good as a Philly steak you are going to get in the area.
