For the cost, cannot and do not recommend. The burger patties were average at best (definitely recommend other places in the neighborhood over this). Fries, when asked for well done, are good but a large is $7 plus. That said, I probably should not have ordered that size. Do like the fact that they got the fountain drinks back, but the base cost of the cup is $2.99 so only get that if you're thirsty. The fizz factor is pretty good, though so I love that. The saving grace here is that the staff is always very friendly, and every interaction I had has been good. A bit of advice would be to capitalize on that great customer service and extend it to how you approach your food, because this is really not special stuff for the price. read more

I am not a huge fan of this place. I've been a few times with coworkers, when I worked across the bridge. The food isn't good to me but I liked the Italian ice. That alone is worth coming for. My favorite is the strawberry; yummy! So skip dinner and come for dessert if you stop by. read more

I would like to start by saying that I have been a longtime customer at Freddies since it was known as Laura's. I am just disappointed in the fact of how the quality of service as well as the food has gone down. Many of the new girls who are answering phones and taking orders have no idea how to use their executive functioning skills to ensure that the order is correct. My hope is that Freddies Management will understand that by ensuring their staff is trained properly that mistakes can be avoided. I have noticed that on yelp and on Google when there is a negative complaint or one star review does not reply. That says something about how values their customers. read more

Fabulous Freddies has that classic Chicago feel -- casual, no-frills, but full of personality. The Chicago-style hot dog has its own stylish twist, and it's good and tasty. The food overall is flavorful and satisfying. The ambiance is lively and laid-back, with a real neighborhood vibe. It's not fancy, but it feels welcoming and full of energy. Service was pretty good. Staff were friendly and my order came out fast. Nice spot for a casual and tasty meal in the city! read more

The food quality has definitely went down throughout the years. I loved going to Freddie's with my friends after playing basketball at Mcguane Park; however, they started to get really expensive and stopped having the self serve soda machine. My girlfriend got the lemon pasta, and it was just drenched in oil and lemon; it wasn't even edible at that point. The service is good. They're really nice to you at the order counter. The ambiance is pretty simple. As I mentioned early, I do miss the soda machine they had. They have a few tv's and a map of Chicago inside. read more

Took forever (28 minutes) to receive one pepperoni slice, one sausage slice and 3 bottles of water when we were told it would be a 10 minute wait. I open my box of pizza to see a significant portion of my toppings missing. There was no warning nor any apology about this. Not only were they slow and sloppy, but for what I ordered, it cost $18.81, which would be fine and acceptable if the quality matched. read more

They should take away fabulous from The name. Ever since they sold it's gone to complete sh*t. Not just the food the workers too. Don't get me started on the cut up square sausage on the pizza now. Or that it's completely obvious that no one here knows what the hell is going on. Today the front door is locked which is shouldn't be and I will be calling the fire marshal over it.

I love their Chicken Limon over Fusili Pasta which is large enough for two persons to share. I heard it is da coach Mike Ditka's favorite dish here. My other must order is the Veggie Pizza which is a thin crust. The thin crust is always perfect and soft. You can also order various pizza by the slice. I also enjoy their Italian Sausage, Italian Beef, or Meatball sandwiches. Service is always excellent. read more

I used to eat here all the time when I worked at the high school nearby. I LOVED their food! When I saw I could get it delivered I thought what a great treat for my family who had not had it before. Well I paid $118 with delivery and tip. What I got was cold food 45 minutes past the time to be delivered. No cheese on ANY sandwich that I was charged for and when I called customer service I was told, I apologize for your experience. To top it off I left instructions to ring my bell when delivered. If I wasn't sitting waiting for 45 minutes I might not know when the driver came and left my food on my wet steps!!! The only thing good was I did get the sandwiches and fries none of them prepared as I requested. read more

I always grab an Italian ice on the way home. It's nice that you can add a little jungle juice to it. Let's go!

Fabulous Freddies Italian Eatery - Yukkk!! Raw dough!!! - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Used to be my go to pizza spot growing up(have been in south side for 30+ years), although unfortunately it has become an after thought. Positives, the place itself is nice and is pretty spacious. To preface the negative , I barely ever give this low of reviews. What I don't like - quality/portions of the food has diminished over the years. Food is inconsistent, prices have skyrocketed - even before inflation. Why go here when you can go to ricobenes/Punkys/etc. I also think it's ridiculous you have a manager on yelp, telling customers to stay home/cook yourself. How is that professional? Whether or not she feels justified, this isn't the place to get into fits with customers. read more

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Freddies on 31s not just once, but twice. Both times my order was made incorrectly, I followed up by providing photos and my receipt, and after a phone call, I was told the issue would be corrected. Instead, I was offered a mere 20% off my next order, as if that makes up for spending my hard-earned money on food that wasn't made right again. What makes this worse is finding out the person I spoke to, who tried to gaslight me and imply I was lying about what I ordered, is actually the owner. That's not just disappointing, it's unacceptable. Telling a paying customer that a spinach wrap is the same as a flour wrap is insulting. If I went to get my nails or hair done and the service was not what I specifically requested, I would expect it to be corrected not brushed off. As someone who has supported this business and spent a good amount of money here, I expected better. I expected accountability, not excuses. I expected to be treated like a valued customer, not an inconvenience. Instead, I got a dismissive attitude and a weak discount offer. read more

Been here so many time and always a good experience. Driving through Illinois last time took a two hour detour just to eat the steak sandwich read more

Place done went down use to be one of my favorite ...just got off the phone with the manager she refused to give me my money back because I order food and ...told the lady what I wanted on my food but she put what she wanted ..people always pay for your food with a credit card or debit card so you can dispute this behavior.. business like this doesn't care about you all they want is your money and you to deal with the fucked up attitudes that they hire .. Rico beanies is rite up the street better food better people..I would never support this nonsense and advise you not because it's only a matter of time before they do it to you .. read more

This place went down hill real fast. Bad service, they have a pizza incubator that looks really sad.

Food is amazing. Perfect family spot with a friendly neighborhood ambiance. The staff is amazing and very attentive. Second visit and both were a great experience. Highly Recommend. read more

Not exactly sure what is so fabulous about this place, it was very average especially for a place with such high praise. Pizza was very average, the meat balls on the sub tasted like they had zero seasoning, and I just ate it with a fork because the bread was so soaked from sitting there it wasn't worth trying to eat with my hands. As a visitor to Chicago, I had better pizza at the Navy Pier at "Frankie's By The Slice" which is not a good sign. *** I don't know who decided to cut pizzas like this but unless asked pizza should be cut in triangles read more

It's a total shame that this place has gone DOWNHILL. It used to be a neighborhood spot but now it's anything but neighborhood people!! I don't know who they are trying to cater to with all the alcohol and CBD infused crap! I know it's gotten really dark. The ONLY reason I came in today was for the BCA night. Outside of that, I stay away. They got rid of the pop machine and put a 5 gallon water jug and you have to buy bottles or cans. The menu board is gone. The music is something you would hear at a Quinceañera or a Mexican festival. The quality of food is below average and NONE of the regular staff works here anymore. If you're not familiar with the old Freddie's you might wander in here after a Sox game BUT you'd be better off at Cork and Kerry or Turtles. Sorry Freddie's you let us neighborhood people down! read more

I used to live off Freddie's as a child growing up in Bridgeport wow the disappointment going back. The pizza is raw there's no excuse for this we couldn't even finish the slices. The restaurant has no more fountain drinks, the menu wasn't on the wall anymore and fries are freaking 6 plus dollars. This is such a shame nothing like the previous owner. Do yourself a favor and don't come read more

Ordered a slice of deep dish sausage & pepperoni, received thin crust sausage...the keto pizza was overcooked so reheating would be impossible...did not receive the diet pepsi...took over an hour to deliver and I even offered to pick up but all 3 times over a half an hour they said the driver was on his way...finally,just too expensive for not very good food...very disappointed read more

Ordered a pizza over the phone for carry out. Quick and easy process. Went in to pick up and noticed that not one worker was wearing a mask. There were at least 5 worker upfront, no masks and no partition separating from customers :( Now as for the pizza, taste was okay. Wish the cheese extended to the crust a bit more and the toppings were more evenly distributed. Not a bad pizza, but not one that I'll crave again. We also spontaneously ordered a small mango Italian ice that I ended up really enjoying. So definitely grab one of those while you're there. read more

I'm surprised the Yelp's average rating isn't better, but I guess my experience is limited to getting take out and the sandwiches. I had actually been avoiding Freddie's because of this, but I am really glad we tried it out. In the past 2 months, I been three times. I usually call my order in and pick it up 10 minutes later. They are always so busy for lunch, but they get the food out fast! I have twice gotten the breaded steak sandwich and also gotten the chicken parm sandwich. They are sooooo good. There's nothing to complain about. The bread is nice. You can get them with sweet and/or spicy peppers. There's nothing bad to say about the marinara sauce. I like their breaded steak sandwich better than the chicken parm sandwich. The breaded steak is tender and flavorful. Nice texture, not too salty. They are both very messy and you will definitely have to wash your hands after you eat them. They will not be easy to eat in a car. The sandwiches are big and even the regular size is good to share (if you're not starving). I could probably eat a whole regular sandwich, but I would be stuffed and want to sleep for the rest of the day. I would highly recommend Freddie's breaded steak sandwich and we certainly plan to go back every few weeks for it. read more

Today's thick, sausage pizza slice was underwhelming. It was salty and not fresh. The homemade, pineapple gelato was a hefty medium serving, a great deal for the price. The flavor was quite good. Customer service tonight was meh. Freddie's was busy as always, including a half-dozen police officers. read more

The weekly $5 sandwich special was the char chicken with melted mozzarella cheese on garlic bread. The chicken was good and seasoned nicely and the melted cheese in every bite was really good. The garlic flavor on the bread was just right. Sometimes garlic bread can be overpowering. They could add a little more giardiniera. The one thing they could do is slather a little mayonnaise to the bread. When first biting into the sandwich on the ends is a bit dry and no chicken. So it's biting into a plain piece of toast. All in all the sandwich is good. I'll try it again and request mayonnaise if they don't add it. read more

I have order from Freddie's twice so far only dessert items. I found this restaurant on Grubhub but it was titled dessert bar. When I called because they use their drivers to delivery the orders and it was super delivered I realized it was Freddie's. Freddie's is one of those local spots that are in an area with a lot of the same restaurants. I usually have to drive past a bunch to get this restaurant so I usually wouldn't stop by. Fyi, on Grubhub the boozy milkshake was $15 at the restaurant it costs around $10. On this occasion I order the vanilla boozy milkshake and the hubs ordered watermelon Italian ice. I love their boozy milkshakes . I will be definitely stopping by again in the future for another shake! I wasn't impressed with their Italian ice. I have had better at other local spots. They offer other food items like donuts, pizza, pasta, french fries, and Italian beef. I had the fried mini donuts before and they were ok. read more
