My wife and I frequently ride our side by from our home in Sahuarita through the Sierrita mountains to Fred's Arena without ever getting on a paved road, it's super fun and we always enjoy a delicious lunch before return home. My favorite is the patty melt and wifey gets a salad. The food is always good and fresh read more

Great place with unique atmosphere. Great steaks cooked over indoor charcoal pit. Service was friendly with weekend entertainment. Definitely a must stop read more

Shit food. Go on Monday. Way better food without the bull shit. Made the mistake of bringing my family here for dinner. Burgers were cardboard and disgusting. I was gonna return it but my wife said not to cause a scene. Look out for the freaky bartender on drugs. Eyes blazing. We need Fred back. Going to Tiny's for now on. Sad. read more

It's a long drive out there. No signs. Place looks ran down. Waitress was very nice. We had top steaks. Not tender very chewy. Baked potato was good. Would we go back? No I don't think so. read more

I ordered the cheese burger with fries and got an extra side of onion rings. Service was great and I have zero complaints there. The burger was good. Not the greatest in the word but a solid flavor profile so no complaints there. I think they only have one fryer in the back so the fried and onion rings both tasted kind of cheesy. Restrooms were very clean which is always appreciated. they just had the rodeo on TV in a rather quiet main dining hall. It's a very large space able to accommodate large parties and had a very western design with lots to look at all around the property. I would come back if I was in the area but wouldn't make the trip out just for this place read more

Rundown outside "picnic" area. Dog poop laying around in the uncut grass. Ripped up chairs randomly sitting around the picnic tables. Overcooked steaks.$114 for 2 people. Including a small steak for our dogs. Terrible. We will not be back. read more

Enjoyed it! Atmosphere is fun. Food was ok! Had a bacon cheeseburger. Cooked good. A simple meal. Service was good. Not much conversation but refills came etc. read more

Nothing special ! Sparse service. Off the beaten path location, if you love local, perhaps. But no need to drive there.

Nothing like eating steak in the middle of the desert! Mesquite grilled steaks, service was great both times. THIS is what you want for a real Cowboy experience read more

Love the wings! They are large and have an amazing flavor and stay crunchy. The homemade ranch is delicious. Adding blue cheese dressing to the wings just put them over the top! read more

Fred's was recommended, so my family decided to order several different things from the menu. Husband & I both worked in restaurants, so there's quite a bit of leeway we give a new place. We always order takeout at a new place so we can share & talk without in private. The 1 pound T-Bone was cooked to perfection and was just fabulous. Perfect, even close to the bone. The baked potatoes were also pretty good, with plenty of the requested toppings. All the meat, and only the meat, whether in a burger or the steak, were excellent. All had good flavor. Nothing we ordered seemed to have any spices at all giving everything a rather bland flavor. We literally had uncooked fries (or ones that just had a nodding acquaintance with a fryer) mixed in with the rest of the uncooked, rather greasy fries. After blotting them to soak the grease up, I had to finish them off in my air fryer to make them palatable. The onion rings were better but still undone, perhaps by 2 to 3 minutes. Patty melt was very greasy. Lack of ordered extra cheese and onions was disappointing. Pizzas (3 - 8 inch, cheese, ham/pineapple, supreme) were all decently good. Jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks were good, whatever brand they're buying is one they should stick with. The onion rings were nicely battered as well, so ditto for the company that makes them. Whomever was grilling the meat was the best!! The prices were pretty good for the meat, definitely worth it for the steak in particular. No, we would not recommend this place, except for the steaks. Wish the rest of it would've tasted & been prepared better. The atmosphere was quirky but interesting. NO handicapped parking, neither daughter nor I felt safe on our canes outside. Inside was fine. 2 stars for the meat! read more

Went to use a gift certificate received from a Montana friend that has visited Fred's several times. He loves the rustic atmosphere and a decent steak. I goofed up and ordered the Sausage dinner (expecting Kielbasa/ Polish sausage type) and got about a 6" diameter WAY-over peppered patty of sausage. It is a steakhouse after all, and I should have ordered a steak. My wife did and it was fine. The prices are quite reasonable and the food is fine, but not near great. The ambiance is interesting and the service is fine, as well. We were the ONLY patrons for the duration of our lunch. It is WAY off the beaten path and frankly not worth the drive for an average quality meal. We likely will not return! read more

Had the best time there hanging out with my partner and daughter . Comfortable , relaxed . Fun conversation with the family that owns it . Food was pretty great . Recommendation for the sausage burger was spot on read more

My wife and I came to three points to visit family and let me tell you! If you're looking for just simple bar food with good drinks. This is the place! Might be in the middle of nowhere but it's definitely a spot to just stop and have a few drinks and maybe enjoy a good steak. read more

Best service and food in three points so worth a trip steaks are yummy and the hamburgers are delicious too!

Great place for lunch. Always nice atmosphere. Love the cooler months out on the patio. The steak is great and the kids all love it too. Rustic themed and easy going. read more

A true Family owned legacy, from pure cowboy roots! Handed down through generations of growing families and living in this community. Mesquite fired steaks and burgers are the best in Tucson! read more

Whenever I'm in 3 points visiting Family we always head to Fred's for great food and drinks

Best steakhouse!! Waiter was awesome!! Overall a fantastic experience! Will definitely come back!!

The food is delicious. Let's start with that. The pizza, the burgers, the patty melt and fries- ALL done exactly as they should be done. The location is crazy! You're in the middle of no where eating this delicious burger while a sassy waitress gives you crap about the few questions you ask. She never brings you a fork, never checks in you during your meal- nothing. And it's still fun and so tasty. All I can say is: you gotta get out there and see this place for yourself. And know that all the food is amazing. The waitress was a hoot and her party melt on sour dough bread recommendation was spot on. read more

Went in for lunch this past Saturday. What a treat! For starters, the sirloin steak and meal was amazing! The flavor left me wanting more. The service was warm and friendly. Felt like home. I brought a steak meal home for my better half, loved it too. She can't wait to visit, and we can not wait to see the Cowboy Polo in the arena! If you enjoy an amazing meal in a family friendly atmosphere, this place is a must try. You won't go just once, promise. read more

Food was good-hubby had a steak, baked potato & salad, & I had an 8" pizza (nice thin crust!) Service was great-were there on a Wed. night & only 1girl working up front, seating, bringing drinks, taking orders, tending bar, cleaning tables & cooking the steak over a large pit/grill in the middle of the room! She was great! The atmosphere reminded us of some little out of the way places we used to visit in Texas years ago. Overall a great experience! read more

Fred's has the best Pizza in town They also serve great burgers. If you want a great meal and some Old Tucson charm FRED's is the place . Every time my family comes to visit we go to Fred's for Pizza & Beer Also the staff are fantastic. read more

Fred's is a true gem in the desert! My fiancé and I had an absolutely wonder experience. I ordered steak, cooked perfectly, it comes with baked potato, garlic bread and side salad. My fiancé got the sausage plate, it's more of a sausage patty, not sausage link, he loved it! The bartender was perfect! The beer was fresh and crisp. We had the pleasure of meeting a local gentleman, hearing his stories were the cherry on top of an already wonderful lunch! read more

Homemade blue cheese dressing is the best. Steaks and salads are excellent. The staff are friendly and great service.

Favorite place to take family ! Food is good & quick , the waitresses are so kind and make you want to stay longer

I wasn't sure about going to Fred's after mixed reviews, but I decided to try it for myself as I love places like this. I've been to my fair share of country type bars in the middle of nowhere, some good, some bad, some of the "y'all ain't from 'round here" types. Fred's was very welcoming and full of history. Off the two lane highway, down a rough and rugged paved road, then onto a dirt road into what looks like a ranching community, and down the road a piece on the corner, you'll find Fred's. A mix of locals and snowbirds from the RV park this place has indoor/outdoor seating, horses, history along the walls, cold beer, and good food. I didn't get too fancy on my first trip, just a burger, fries, and a pitcher of beer. Service was good and friendly and food was cooked just right. Honestly I can't wait to go back. I rode my motorcycle there and while the roads and dirt can be quite bumpy be careful of the loose sand if your riding. Definitely worth a trip. read more

An amazing find in the middle of nowhere. Good steaks, burgers and ribs. Difficult to find, don't trust your GPS. Highly recommend read more

Down a long dusty road located west of Tucson is this unique restaurant/bar. My favorite is the pork steak sandwich. Steaks on the mesquite grill are always done perfectly and the smell is awesome. Love this place read more

Very nice service and clean restaurant. I've been there twice. It is a bit out in the middle of nowhere but worth the trip if you can find 3 Points. read more

If I was on death row, my last meal would be Fred's medium rare T-bone steak, no doubt about it.

I love the bacon double cheeseburgers and mozzarella sticks. We've been coming for nearly 5 years now, Jenna is my favorite bartender she always makes the best drinks and has a good joke for me. She knows exactly what I like. Great atmosphere since they redid the inside, can't wait for them to open back up because I am craving one of those burgers read more

Small town dirt road rustic feel restaurant but amazing food! Get a bang for your buck!!! read more

Stopped in on the way back to Tucson after seeing it on Maps and the reviews. It's a hole in the wall, but was a great experience! Steak was grilled to order and everything tasted great. Locals keep mostly to themselves and service was friendly enough. Got to watch the game on a couple flat screens and bar is fully stocked. Definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Came here for the first time. I ordered the steak fingers. Do yourself a favor and stay away! Completely inedible! Probably the nastiest thing I've ever tried to eat. It was the old left over gristle part of the steak that nobody wants to eat, then deep fried to make it even more tough and serviced with cocktail sauce? We had also gotten fried pickles, again a big NO, just not as bad. It was as if they took a 1/4 of a pickle spear and sliced it as thin as they could get it and fried it in salt. Such a let down. The service was just as bad. We were really hoping to make this our "go to place" since we live near by, we are bummed read more

When you pull up, you might think "wth" have I gotten myself into?! But OMG stay, especially if you like horses! The food was great, the service was great, and the maintenance man let my kids feed ALL the horses, which they LOVED. We will definitely come back! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the bathrooms. I'm a bathroom snob, I like it when they are clean and fully stocked, and when we went today they were out of paper towels and they weren't very clean. But while that normally would have pissed me off......horses. read more

The steak was great. Nice old restaurant out of the way. Will come here again when in the Tucson area.

I was taken to Fred's for the first time about 4 years ago. It is located off large main road but there is absolutely no advertising anywhere. If you do not know Fred's exists, you would never be able to find it. Drive down this well maintained dirt road and one starts to see tractors, wagons, and a large place that looks like an old saloon. I can only imagine how great the place possibly looked 20 years ago. Birds from Mexico flock to Fred's.. and sometimes you can eat with horses walking aorund you. The idea and theme have so much potential. The view is great.. however.. over the past 4 years we have visited them a few times and every time we go.. the food is worse, the portions smaller, and the place more run down and filthy. We just got back from having breakfast. I don't think the menus had been wiped down in months. Just like last time, when you go to sit outside, the tables have not even been wiped down from the day before. There are a good dozen tables out there and we could not find a clean one. There was no one else there, this was at like 8 am.. all these tables were filthy from the day before. It is one thing to have to wipe them down due to dust, but if the staff is too lazy to wipe down the sugar, grease, cigarette ashes, etc from the night before to prepare for the day.. something is seriously wrong. The place looks like it is deteriorating before the eyes. For some reason someone thought it would be great to invest in cheesy Indian statues, but their ceiling fans are drooping & missing blades. Their tables and chairs are not rustic, western, or have any retro charm. They look like someone went to a few garage sales and found these thrown in a dumpster out back. There is a small fountain with broken concrete statues, trees growing under the edge of the building that have no where to go.. picnic tables too worn out to use, etc. The food.. "home fries" means 6 tiny 5" over cooked potato wedges. "Ham" means a tiny slab of gristly, over cooked and toughed meat that is to resemble ham. It is heart breaking that this is happening and I have held back from writing a bad review hoping my couple of experiences would change,.. but no luck. read more
