    The Rocky with Sweet Potato Fries
    Ronald R.

    Absolutely fantastic. As a transplant from New Jersey, I am picky about my cheesesteaks. I just discovered Fred's and it is hands down the best I have had outside the greater Philly area. I'm generally a purist but I gave the Rocky (meat, Cheese Wiz, onions, sausage, and bacon) a try and it was incredible. So good! I liked it so much that I complimented the chef, who turned out to be Fred himself. For my fellow cheesesteak connoisseurs, I cannot recommend highly enough.

    Tried Fred's Downtown Philly a couple weeks ago. Cheesesteaks were pretty darn good and I'm told it's as close to authentic east coast as it gets. They have a bunch of pre-configured selections which was nice. Gotta be honest though, I could have used more cheese (altho i did not get any wiz on it) so maybe that was it..IDK. I was pretty hungry so the 10" didn't fill me up so got another and finished that too. But after was uncomfortably full. Would be good to have an in between option like a 15" or something, but I understand that the bread vendor may not make rolls in that size. So next time, I'll order 2 but eat 1.5 and take the rest for later. Fries were seasoned well, but I prefer thicker cut fries vs. real skinny ones. Still good though. overall, will definitely be going back.

    There was like a blood drip on my bun or something. I noticed it after I ate almost the whole thing

    Average food. Not bad, but not great. Also the establishment is filthy. And they weren't even busy. Not coming back.

    I had a need for a cheesesteak, so I tried Freds. Pretty darn good. I got carryout for lunch. It was hot and good.

    Outstanding Philly experience. As close to home I have found in TX over the last 30 years! It is our regular stop from now on!

    We've been regulars here for a long time, and I'm surprised I never took the time to write a…read morereview. This is easily one of our favorite places in Allen. We've tried a wide variety of items on the menu over the years, and everything has been consistently fresh, flavorful, and high quality. Whether we're stopping in for a quick bite or staying to watch a game, the food never disappoints. The beer selection is outstanding, with an impressive variety of draft and bottled options ranging from crisp lagers and wheat beers to IPAs, porters, and stouts. Fun tip - if you order a German beer, it's served in a traditional 0.5-liter glass, which adds to the experience. The atmosphere is exactly what you're looking for in a neighborhood sports bar. There are TVs everywhere, plenty of seating, and a lively but comfortable vibe that's perfect for catching a game with friends or family. They also host a variety of events throughout the year, making every visit a little different. One of my favorite nights is Pint Night, where you receive a complimentary pint glass featuring the selected beer with your purchase. It's a great promotion and just another reason we keep coming back. If you're looking for great food, an incredible beer selection, and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is hard to beat. It's our go-to spot in Allen, and I highly recommend it.

    We decided to try Brass Tap again tonight for dinner. We have been here once before about 3 years…read moreago and it was ok, nothing too memorable - nothing horrible. Food was ok. So, we thought - why not, it's close- let's go and see if we like it better this time. Let's start with the positives. We arrived shortly after 5pm and the place was pretty empty so we were seated right away. The server was friendly and immediately took our drink orders. She was attentive and service was fast. No complaints with her service at all. It seemed pretty chill and low key. A few people trickled in but nothing crazy for a Saturday night. We ordered the pretzel appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised. The color of the pretzel had me fooled. It was pretty dark in color which usually indicates overdone and hard so when it was amazingly soft inside - wow! So good! We loved the mustard and cheese sauce that came with it. My husband and son ordered a burger and said they were tasty, my other son ordered the chicken strips and said they were good. Negative for the meal, I ordered the blackened cod tacos and subbed the chips and salsa for the Gilroy Garlic Fries. I was very excited for the garlic fries since we are originally from that area and are very knowledgeable about the famous Gilroy Garlic Festival and all things Garlic. Here's where this dish wasn't exciting - the tacos were pretty bland. I took the coleslaw from my son's chicken tenders to try and add more flavor and make the taco more palatable. I only ate 1 of the 2 because there really was just zero flavor. The fries were probably an even greater disappointment. In the center, was a very small amount of cheese and maybe garlic? It had virtually zero garlic taste - I was searching for it. It was a sad version of garlic fries. I would not order that again unless they were improved upon. I went back and forth on 3 stars versus 4 stars because while service was great and fast, I can't confidently say I'd recommend it to someone. I may say it's a great place to chill for a beer and an appetizer but definitely NOT a meal. I think if your expectations are to stick with the appetizer list then you're probably going to like it. They have a large beer selection and plenty of screens for your favorite games.
