    I came back here to make sure my first experience wasn't just a fluke. It wasn't. This time I got the angry Carolina burger and it somehow was even better than the first time when I got the Mel. The slaw added a nice crunch, the chili wasn't overly spicy and wasn't overflowing on the burger. French fries are very thick but still were crispy on the outside. Also tried the sweet potato fries with the marshmallow dipping sauce. I was very skeptical because it sounded weird, but with all the unconventional creations they have here, they clearly have it figured out pretty good. I'm going to have to come back and try something a little more out of the box next time.

    Thick cut fries

    We love trying new places so when we saw this sit-down restaurant in MOCKSVILLE, we had to try it. First off you walk to a counter to order, no table side ordering. They have an assortment of draft microbrews. I tried the Jalapeño ale and it was ok. Not something I would order again though. They specialize in gourmet hamburgers but you also have other options like cheesesteak and chicken. Burgers are ala carte so if you want a side, you have to order it separately. They offer outdoor seating but we are inside. The place is clean and the staff was friendly. I got the "Mel" 1/4 lb burger with pimento cheese, siracha may, jalapeños and bacon jam. I also got a side of "thick cut" fries. The burger came out wrapped in paper like from a food truck. Not what I expected from a sit down restaurant. Secondly, when I unwrapped it, it was a sloppy mess. The cheese had oozed out all over the place and it made it impossible to pick up your burger without making your hands a sticky mess. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a stickler for a knife and fork for a burger but it takes away from the experience when both hands get messed up picking up your burger. The burger itself was ok. It was good, not great. The toppings were delicious but there was so much of all the toppings that is all you could taste. I couldn't taste the actually meat on the burger. The thick cut fries were more like potato planks. For my liking, they were just way too thick and it was more like eating deep fried wedges of baked potatoes. They came with garlic salt. Again, good but not great and something I wouldn't order again. The rest of my family got burgers and their thoughts were the same as mine. I had high hopes for this place after reading the reviews and review of their food truck. Price for 4 hamburgers, 2 fries and a $2 draft beer plus tip was $48+. This place was ok but not $48 ok for what we got. I wish them well and hope they are successful but I don't think we will be returning. For what we got, it just wasn't worth the money and quite honestly, it is a bit pricey for MOCKSVILLE.

    apparently Food Freaks stopped being a truck about three years ago and it's now an actual place; it's totally a family operation with mom and dad doing the hard stuff with their children throwing in as they are able; everyone gets to help grow the family business. this place promises a lot from the time you see it in your feed until you roll up and still a little bit after that... open air bandstand away from the street complete with tables, umbrellas, and some roof to keep the wet off the amps in three of four directions. indoor seating options include high-tops, normal tops, booths, and a bar of sorts. the draft system is down but there's nothing wrong with a can o' bull city cider to occupy my taste buds between nibbles on the street corn: a regulation sized ear charred on a grill and awash in chili-lime crema with a shake of mexi-cheese and cilantro. it's just a tiny bit sweet for me (it's the citric acid in the lime does that) but all y'all like it like that so get some if there is some and add fries and maybe a burger or two... and the Godfather burger is a long time favorite and mine was absolutely ridiculous in the best edible way. the petite version was more than enough to satisfy me so I can only imagine the impact of a bigger burger. the Godfather shows up in a tin foil suit to maintain its burgery goodness and keep the mozzarella all soft and warm and stretchy :-) creamy pesto and spicey salami and pepperoni makes my heart hurt a little... but just a little ;-) so it's way past time to grab Peter's whirl-o-meter and bring it on up and give this place one or two... you'll be glad you did.

    Elvis Burger w/ Sweet Potato Fries
    Evan Y.

    Awesome burger and fries! I loved the sweetness of the apple and how it mixed with the slight peanut butter flavor. It was not overly topped and was easy to eat and enjoy! The fries were amazing, especially with the marshmallow cream dipping sauce! They definitely were sweet!

    One of the better, if not best, food trucks in the Triad! This review is based on food, service, and value. Seeing that 100% NC Health rating is a comforting feeling. Food trucks have their difficulties, and I'm glad to see them overcome and excel! The food was really good! I had the Twisted Mel, and some Freaky Fries. The burgers come medium, unless requested otherwise. The burger was cooked perfectly, with all fresh ingredients. The bun was fluffy and delicious, and all ingredients complimented each other. The fries were thick cut, like steak fries.

    WINNER WINNER BURGER DINNER! Carl & I arrived in Mocksville this afternoon to have our Magne Shade installed tomorrow. As usual, we used Yelp to find a local restaurant for dinner. Food Freaks Unique Burger Co. was the #1 recommendation, so off we went. Y'all ... AMAZING doesn't come close to what we experienced. Everything is made fresh; hand "smashed" burgers, hand cut onions for the rings, the best collards I have ever put in my face, and hand-cut apple rings, rolled in cinnamon sugar, fried, topped with ice cream, whipped cream, and house-made caramel sauce for dessert. The owner came out to speak to us after I raved to the server about the collards, and he is a real stand-up man who has a passion for what he does. OH, I had the Sweet Carolina with added bacon jam (which is also house made) and Carl had the Rosie Bib. This is some YUMMY EATS, y'all.

    10/10 highly recommend. Excellent cuisine. Unique menu. Top notch service. Try all of the things.

    Shroom burger
    Fran T.

    Awful. We were the only people there that should have been my first clue. I got the shroom burger that was not very warm when it arrived. The bun on the bottom was soggy. The hamburger had no taste to it. The salt and vinegar fries were also tepid. Not as hot as you would expect being the only people in there. The fries were swimming in a white creamy puddle that didn't have a string vinegar taste. I went by yelp reviews that said this place was amazing.. maybe there are new owners or there maybe new cooks in the kitchen. I took 2 bites of the burger and left it afraid I would get ill if I ate more. Go to Mcdonalds right down the road you know what you will get there and it's cheaper. $27 for 2 burgers that couldn't be eaten and 1 order of "fries"

    Finally trying these guys!
    Michael S.

    First let me say that the food is Spot On!!! It's excellent!! The burgers are incredibly unique, not dry as they're cooked to medium temperature, and with the juicy burger soaking the bun it makes for a wonderful experience! I had "The Mel" which was a 1/4lb burger with jalapeño, bacon jam, sriracha mayo, and pimento cheese! It was incredible! The accompanying hand cut fries were outstanding and a bit on the thicker cut scale. Why the two stars you ask? A Hour & 5 Minute wait for my order!! Are you actually serious!! I've got the time stamped receipt to prove it! These guys were at Gypsy-Road on Friday night with 45-60 minute wait times! There were possibly 20 people waiting at any given time and the loud cheers that would erupt when Anyone would receive their order was hilarious!! The concept of stuffed burgers that you can't get going ahead of time, too large of a menu, and angry customers wondering how long is a fair wait just makes a recipe for disaster! Though extremely good food, it's extremely unlikely I'd ever overpay for a 65 minute burger!!

    Very comfortable and casual. Friendly staff. Excellent burgers that compare to none other. I had The Godfather and salt and vinegar fries.

    Y'all need to try this place! Burgers are great. Service was great. Cool atmosphere as well. Worth the trip from WS or Greensboro! They have an outdoor area and I hear they have music often.

The sides are very small for the price point and my roll was not included. The food could use seasoning. For this place to be so out of the way, it is not worth it for take out as the restaurant does not properly prep for a long drive. There are ways that the food could be packaged to preserve some of the heat. The meat should be wrapped in foil to keep the styrofoam box from making it soggy. The restaurant is quaint but for the price, there are better soul food options. Lack of seasoning and tiny portions are a turn off.

The chicken itself was excellent. It was incredibly juicy, perfectly fried, and had a great crispy coating. My only issue was that the breading felt like it was missing a little something, maybe more seasoning, pepper, or some extra flavor. Growing up with places like Gus's Fried Chicken in Memphis and Nashville hot chicken, I think I naturally expect a little more punch from the chicken itself. The sauce they serve is more of a barbecue style sauce, and while it worked, I personally didn't love it enough for it to carry all the flavor. The sides were a mixed bag. The collard greens were really good and definitely one of the highlights. The coleslaw, though, was way too pepper heavy for my taste. Also, the piece of bread that comes with the meal was honestly not worth the calories. I'd rather see them either upgrade the bread or skip it altogether. One unexpected highlight was the pebble ice from the drink machine. Small detail, but it was awesome and definitely appreciated. Overall, I'd come back and try some different sides because the chicken itself is worth returning for. With a little more seasoning or some different sauce options, I could see this being a 5 star spot.
