We ate here Friday on our way home from the upper peninsula. It was the best food we had eaten all week. I had the best Ruben I have ever eaten and I've eaten Rubens nation wide. My companion ordered a cheeseburger that looked great and he was impressed as well. The service was was friendly, and our wait for a well done burger was as generally acceptable. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived but the radio station our kind of music. Clean dining area. My guess is that this is probably a fun place to stop for folks on the way home from work. We will stop on the way up or down to the UP the next time. read more

Wet burrito was very good and YUGE The staff look miserable and barely say hello when you walk in They should focus on local tourists who come up and want to spend money- be nice is all we ask. We all want to support small mom and pop places when we come up- atleast pretend to like your job. This place could be a fun place- i do know Swamp Bar is very full when you drive by, i wonder if it's because the service is more fun and better over there...leaves much to be desired tho On a scale of 10...it's a solid 6.5. Could be an 8 with some attitude adjustments starting at the hostess stand when you walk in read more

THE BEST restaurant in the north! Been going here since I was a kid and I'm 58. FANTASTIC, AND GREAT HOSPITALITY! Also, a great sports bar! read more

The walleye was great and service was great too I've eaten there many times over the last 25 years when visiting northern Michigan.

For $15,00 should be thicker I ate four slices and I am still hungry Pizza is very thin they did put a lot of tomatoes on it really no onions to speak of for $15 to me not worth it cuz I'm still hungry read more

The prime rib was pretty good, but $35 for a 16oz piece was very expensive imo. The salad and rolls were very good. On a scale of one to Texas Roadhouse. The rolls were a solid 8.5 Salad was very fresh. Lots of people told us that the pizza was very good, I disagree it's frozen party store variety pizza. I'd give it a 3/10. My son said that it was worse than store-bought frozen pizza. The place is way to dark, you can't even read the menu. read more

Service was good and they were very mindful of seeing we had everything we needed. I liked some of the menu because I cannot eat spicy food. My husband can and enjoyed it. The inside is in great need of an upgrade. But it might take away from the ambiance read more

Food was good , waitress was very rude ... we stopped in after a day of riding motorcycles and ordered some burritos. We wanted refills and the waitress was acting like we inconvenienced her. Very rude ! Burrito was good perhaps next time it will be a to go order read more

The food was really good. the atmosphere was awesome. The patty melt was really really good. I would come back again.

Old time up north country feeling. atmosphere is exactly what you would expect for up north Michigan a family owned business that has been passed down. The food is amazing and taste exactly the same as I remember it back in the early 80s when they first opened it.. I wouldn't change a thing about the place. It's exactly how I remembered it and it's exactly how I wanna remember it. Keep doing what you're doing. Frederick and I will be back again. read more

I have personally avoided this place since the pandemic, when, upon entering to pick up a take out order, I saw no efforts to comply with health department directives by any employee. No one wearing a mask, no effort to separate tables, etc. this place known for its southwest burritos, but my personal favorite is their cheesy French dip made with prime rib from the night before. read more

Not a bad place for a drink I've been here a few times in the past. However, I have not been impressed by the food every time. It reminds me of pretty much anything you would get frozen at a grocery store and heat up in your oven which is the reason for my rating. Service is always great and there is plenty of parking. read more

Great food drink. I had the prime rib tacos yummy. Husband had the burrito he like it too. Grandpa had perch was good. One son had prime rib dip and other had white fish both really good. read more

Picture says it all! Now that's a massive burrito. Chill up north atmosphere. We drive 36 minutes one way from our place in Lewiston to eat here. read more

Frederic Inn - Super wet burrito house special - American Near Me - Frederic, Michigan

Used to be a go to place for us, but the service is non existent, never came back to ask if our meal was ok, had to ask twice for a to go box, sad, very saf read more

So mixed results on the food, wet burrito was good, chicken fingers and fish was good. I had the prime rib and the salad that come out first had a long hair in it...not mine! Waitress took it away and offered cole slaw and nothing off the bill or anything additional. The prime rib was overcooked and the baked potato was the smallest thing I have ever seem. For $35 I expected much more. I guess I need to stick to bar food at this place! read more

It took an hour to be served two burgers with fries, and the taste was mediocre--definitely not worth the $25 bill!

I'm totally fed-up w/the service they provide there paying customers. I've been going to Fred. Inn for years for there wet burrito's & always had so-so service. Most of the time I've called in my order for pick-up & still had to wait, but not bad. The last two times I've been there (july & Aug.) for call-in & carry-out REALLY takes the cake though. My july order was called-in & they said 15-20 min. & it took me 30 min. to get there. I told them I was picking up my order & they said It was ready. Well, after standing around for an additional 15 min. & watching the bar tender make drinks & small talking w/customers @ the bar, I finally confronter her & she acted like I was disturbing her social time. Its like I was not there!!! My last encounter was this month (Aug.) & I called in my order as usual. They said it would be 20-25 min. due to a large order they had. Well it took me 40 min. to get there due to road construction. And guess what--SAME CRAPPY SERVICE!!! I told them I was there for my order & was told it was ready. After standing around for another 20 min. I got fed-up & had to confront them again. This time I had to put up w/the bar side packed w/families & kids running all over the place w/ NO one in the whole place wearing masks to protect each other. That includes the STAFF. I'm 73 yrs. old & have C.O.P.D. & take the COVID 19 seriously & wear a mask when ever in public. To say the least, I felt trapped & in a un-safe situation, all for a burrito. If your into REALLY BAD service & a GREAT chance @ catching COVID 19, then the Fredric Inn is the place to go for both!!! I`ll never be back!!!!!! read more

3.5 stars The good ole Frederic Inn! Many a time I have begged my dad to take me here to get out of eating "camping food." Seldom did he give in. We came here to help the Northern Michigan economy but it didn't seem like it really needed our help since the place was packed. Smokey but bearable. I got the wet burrito to see if it was as glorious as I remembered (or if I was just happy to eat "non-camping food"). It is huge, and loaded with beans, meat and fresh veggies--yum. My husband helped me finish it and we did not move for the next 2-3 hours. Cheap beer, too. I shall return. read more

Obviously anyone that goes up north knows their burritos are awesome unless you live under a rock.

Always a highlight of every trip to Camp Grayling. I've never had anything other than the wet burrito. It will cure what ails you and leave you with other regrets the next morning. Like White Castle, I can't ever turn down that tortilla wrapped goodness. Atmosphere is very casual and I bet the walls could talk... read more

This restaurant is something from my childhood that I remember it being great. Recently, including today, the waitress is annoyed we came in. We drive there in ATV's for food and I wish we would have gone else where. I almost went to my cooler for beverages because it was not like I was ever going to get more than one. The group of 7 of us spent $150 there today and we could have spent $200 with a tiny bit of attention. Siss- yes, with two s was our waitress. Stop if you have time. Everyone like the burritos, the nachos are better at my kid's school cafe!!!! read more

I've been a customer for many years, but that's over after last night's takeout order. Sorry, but it was horrible...a waste of time and money. The worst meal I've ever had from them. read more

Solid brews, solid food. Never was asked to do any illegal back alley stuff which is a sign of a mighty fine establishment. Burgers and burritos are the staples on the menu. The cowboy burger made me purr like a kitten. read more

Stopped in on our sleds. It was after lunch and hardly anyone there. Service was very slow. Took over 30 minutes to get an order of Nachos. Nachos were very good, but took way too long. Doubt we'd stop there again. read more

I have been here many times with my Dad. I don't eat Wet Burritos but my Dad does and he swears by them! He has brought many of his friends and family here and turned them on to the Wet Burritos. I am told you get addicted to those! The staff is nice. We like Sis! The other food is good too! read more

Almost everyone comes for the Frederic Inn's Wet Burritos. If you try it, ask for a side of the "turbo " salsa. It's hot but delicious! But in my opinion, the Frederic Inn's Kaid's House burger is the best in the area. Blows a Spike burger away as far as size, toppings, and price! The Frederic Inn is a local landmark and part of the up-north experience. (Would love to see different French fries though. Maybe wedge fries or sweet potato fries?) read more

Had to walk out. Waited 25 mins for someone to even take a drink order. I guess anYmore than 3 people and the place is overwhelmed.

Couldn't agree less with Tom T. The Frederic Inn is a little hidden gem. All the meals we've had have been great, but Mexican food is absolutely their specilaty. Try the wet burrito (I usually do the chicken) or the Mexican pizza...you won't be disappointed and will end up with two meals for the price of one. As an appetizer I recommend the potato skins with bacon...awesome! Great place, good service and not far off I75 if your in a hurry. read more

I have eaten here a few times an have had a hard time getting away from ordering their chimichanga. It's a little pricey but you shouldn't be hungry if you are able to finish it. read more

A small saloon in a small town off of I-75, The Frederic Inn surprises! It seems to be known for it's burritos, but I have fallen in love with the homemade chicken noodle soup. It is beyond delicious! Loaded with carrots and celery, the broth is to die for. Even the noodles are homemade! I have also had the cheese burgers here and they, too, are delish. Worth a visit if you are heading north or south on 75 and are hungry. read more

My daughter wanted a burrito and that is why we went here and I don't usually like those so I got shrimp and fries and must say that was not a good choice fries were either still frozen or soggy or burnt, I did try the burrito and it was very good. Service could have been better too. We got an appetizer to share and was never given any plates. read more

Excellent burritos. The one bartender/server Sis: get rid of her. She seems to only be friendly to people she knows, short and snotty to those she doesn't know. I've been in there a half a dozen times in the last couple of years. The only reason I come back is for the food. Thankfully I have a thick skin. read more

Highly recommend Sis's Special pizza. Always enjoy the food here. The pizza was fresh and full of mouth-watering flavor! Will absolutely order this again. First time we've ordered a pizza. Always enjoy their great burgers, prime rib and fish, too. Quaint and friendly establishment. Always made to feel welcomed. read more

It is an old stand by.. been coming here for 40 years several owners over the years. But the food has remained pretty consistent. You want to get the Super Wet Big Burrito. That is what they are know for..."Normal Bar" food. It is a cool little place to grab a beer if your thirsty... read more

My order was taken promptly. The food came out nice and hot. This is where the service went to pieces. No one came to check on me after that. The server asked if I wanted another drink as she was placing the check on my table. My feeling is I will go somewhere else from now on. read more

They used have really good food but some reason the quality of food is not as good. The burritos are much smaller and not the same taste. The wait staff isn't as good as either, not if they have new owners or not. read more

Very rude waiting staff. Took forever to get food. The burger was way over done, not to mention the greasy unappealing french fries.

Have been year many times over the years . Food is always good. Service is slow to say the least and friendliness is not high on the priorities of the servers. Food and prices makes up for what the service lacks. read more

i have heard of their great burritos for years. i was not impressed. 15$ for a chimichanga and it was terrible. our bill was over 40$ for 3 meals and 2 sodas. our waitress, whos name was sissy, had the voice and mannerisms of someone who has been hard drinking whiskey and smoking pall malls for over 50 years or so. this was a very sad and dissapointing experience. the food is not anywhere near the hype or the prices. read more
