Phenomenal food, incredibly friendly and honest owner. Randy explained the entire cooking process and ingredients to me. The hot dogs were juicy and very flavorful. It has a quaint homey vibe in the eating area, and some nice music. They’re kinda religious, but they’re good people. Long standing small business. It was shocking how cheap the food is for how great it tastes.

What an absolute gem! Stumbled across this place by chance looking for a quick bite. I was greeted by the incredible staff who was more than happy to explain to me how the menu worked, as well as how they make their chili.
Food was tasty and very reasonably priced. I had a hot dog with chili but everything else I saw looked good too.
I only had 15 minutes to spend here, but it was enough to see how this is a true cornerstone to the local community. I highly recommend checking this spot out.

We found them doing a Google search and decided to give it a try and drove on down. It was our first time visiting, and the owner was extremely friendly and welcoming. We even learned how he cooks and prepares the hotdogs, I love hotdog dogs and always have since I was a child. I was just too excited to learn that he had the original foot-long Hotdog. He also has these desserts, and I believe I had the gooey, but with the apple caramel twist, it was so delicious. I got it for myself, however, my husband ended up eating half of it. It almost caused a mini fight, lol.
The Customer Service alone warrant a return, having the food be so tasty was a bonus. Even if the food was just OK and average, we still would go back just because he was so friendly and fun to talk to. We will definitely be back And try some other items on the menu. If he can make us a pan of the ooey gooey dessert, we will gladly pay whatever the cost

The food is fantastic! The burgers are smoked and then charcoal grilled resulting in a beautiful pink smoke ring at the edge of the burger. Each bite was just as good and juicy as the first. I would highly recommend stopping in and chatting with the owner about the history of the restaurant while you eat!

Freds is everything you can hope for from a place with a giant hotdog out front. The staff are all very kind and you can tell they love working there. I got a long dog with Sauerkraut and mustard. It was delicious. Smoked perfectly. The pimento cheese sandwich was amazing. And they will happily tell you everything that goes into making it. I also got lucky and they let me try some chew bread they are wanting to add to the menu. Over all great ambience, great people, great food. Highly recommend.

I will 100% be back! These hotdogs are AWESOME and have a very unique flavor. They’re soft and tender, the perfect light lunch in this chilly weather. The hotdogs are aparently prepared in a broth marinade and smoked on a Big Green Egg charcoal grill making them probably the best hot dog I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying! Chili was also awesome! Can’t wait to try the other menu items!!! The Philly cheesesteak and burger definitely are on my list
VERY clean, friendly staff that are the types to remember regulars’ names and faces and orders!

The owner was unbelievably friendly and helpful! The place has a very cozy and homey feel and the food was delicious. If you’re looking for a mom and pop feel, this is hard to beat!

I’d heard about this place and we thought we’d check it out. I love a hole in the wall restaurant. Fred’s had the best onion rings ever and really great hotdogs. The fries were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The pimento cheese was to die for. If you are ever in the metropolis of Griffin Ga. check it out! It’s been here since 1947 so they must be doing something right.

My wife and I stopped in here when visiting Griffen and the food, the atmosphere, and the service are one word. Phenomenal. The owner himself prepares the hamburgers personally in the back of the restaurant. Great food, great conversation. All around a fabulous hole in the wall spot that simply can’t be beat. Check out the spot in Griffen with the “stupid” hot dog out front. You’ll thank me later.
