If you have photosensitive epilepsy I wouldn't recommend this place. I had a massive seizure when I was there when it was Ralf was the owner and he was incredibly rude! The food was meh, the place was tidy, but heaven forbid you have a medical emergency and they needed to wait for an ambulance! I wonder if it was one of the staff if Ralf would've balked at them too? This was about three years ago have not been back since and will not ever go back for these reasons. 1. The pagers 2. The food has gone down hill 3. Lack of cleanliness What could improve? get rid of the pagers Improve the food Clean the place up read more

My family and I have been long time fans of Fresgos, my husband grew up eating here! He's been a customer for 40+ years. We went on a Friday evening and the place was dead. This should have been a warning! Cleanliness was subpar, it looked like the tables hadn't been wiped, there were crumbs everywhere. I ordered the Philly submarine, which was almost $17 and came with no sides. The sandwich was literally the size of a standard hot dog. The flavour was okay but it was extremely salty. My husband ordered the beef dip, which looked like someone stepped on it. The meat was super dry with absolutely no flavour. Unfortunately this restaurant will never be the same. We will never go back. read more

Fresgos has been sold last year and although it is still solid the cleanliness is a slight level down. They still have one of the best omlettes but last year we had to schnitzel and the old oil was prevelent in the flavor profile. One more visit this summer for their super sub and that'll determine its final rating for me read more

Wow after over 30+ years whether Davies street location or Surrey location, today's experience was the worst ever. Ralf has left fresgos and business especially customer service has gone downhill. It's been a minute I'm in town due to family and decided to order takeout. Fresgos has new owners and staff and it's sad to not see any of the old faces like before. We placed the order online on the fresgo website and they took the payment and showed up and the girl at the cash register looked at me like I was crazy. Asked which platform we ordered off of and told her Zumi which is the payment processor on their website and she told us basically TOL bad call them we don't use their services anymore. WTF?! Spent over 20 minutes trying to solve this because she wouldn't get me any manager and told me contact the payment company. The payment company doesn't even answer the phone and I'm asking myself and her why am I doing this when payments already taken out and she should be contacting the company and removing it from their website. What does she want me to process the order and grill the food too? Isn't this their issue? I did what any normal customer would do and place an order, make payment and then expect my food, not attitude from someone who doesn't seem to give two shits or fuxks about customer service. Ralf wouldn't let this slide that's all i can say. Prices up, service is down. Won't be coming back ever again. Save yourself a headache waste of time and some money in your pocket unless you want rude ungrateful bitches to serve and handle your food. read more

Longtime fan. Went there today. Place was empty, they didn't have ingredients for some of the best item's. Daily specials were samosas, curry chicken, or butter chicken. New owners looking bling bling, but no one comes here for Indian food. RIP fresgos read more

Friend recommended going here, however, it's not what he remembered from a decade+ ago when the original owner(s) ran it. Mushroom burger, quality of the mushrooms tasted and smelled expired, and accompanying food not all that memorable. read more

Way too expensive now and the food quality is way down from pre-covid times. I'm pretty sure it must of changed owners because the quality just isn't there anymore. read more

Food was fresh and portions are huge! Bring an appetite or a take away container! Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Unique old school diner. I recently visited for the first time ever, but friends have the nostalgia factor of eating Fresgo as children when it was located in Vancouver. Portions are massive, and include choice of side dishes. Quality is okay - everything tasted fresh. There is no table service. You order at the front counter, get a buzzer, and pick up your food when it's ready. All the condiments and extras are laid out for you to help yourself. They have an assortment of desserts for purchase. Cookies and packaged items, as well as cakes and pies. Ambiance feels like an Uncle Willy's. A little dank but with its own charm. Neon lights, old tables and chairs, nothing fancy going on here. Parking lot is shared with other businesses but it's free and plenty of spaces available. read more

Over 30 yrs. a regular diner, yesterday will sadly be "last" visit. TOO MANY RED FLAGS. *- Only 1 other couple in Fresgo eating the entire time we were there. No one else entered. It was before 6-7 pm, dinnertime. *- Long wait, 25-30 mins. just for double mushroom burger. Food was COLD on plate. MEAGER Beef(?) Patties were 1/3 thickness, 1/2 diam., hidden in bun. Mushrooms were black, OVERCOOKED, rubbery, fries were DRY. What a difference from what it use to be! *- Cooking kitchen area was "covered up" with partition, no longer able to see food prepared. *- Broken toilet flush handle (ladies washroom) small "METAL DOOR KEY" stuck there ... as replacement??? Unable to turn, so left unflushed! *- No Longer "Filtered" water (the sign "filtered" removed) and dispensed water was WARM, NOT even cold. (Our 2nd time there since new owners, what a difference from before. Unenjoyable) read more

Wow new owners for sure the chicken lunch was disgusting probably heated up from yesterday The lady's bathroom was gross clean the bathroom already read more

Just Awful -Seems to be another institution taken over by people who have no knowledge or care for anything that came before. The bun on the burger was stale as we're the fries. The patty looked and tastes like low grade "meat". So sad. read more

Sadly I've had two meals here since ownership changed. I'm a huge fan of diners and at least a 30 year patron of Fresgo Inn, both the Davie Street location and this King George one. I won't be returning. Too much has changed for the worse in terms of food quality and lack of maintenance of their Surrey location. The burgers not being fresh any longer and being reduced in size while the prices continue to rise as with other restaurants is not sustainable - they need to up their game if they want to continue to do business. Go back to fresh (not frozen,) ingredients and return to generous portions or the few customers that you have left will also leave you, like my family and I have. That's the only advice I can offer the owner. Very sad to have to write this. :( read more

Wow, beef sub, & mushroom burger onion rings, peach drink tasted exactly the same as the original Fresgos on Davie street from the 80's of course prices are much higher as everywhere else, however the portion size was the same, I had to sit in their restaurant for 2 hours while my stomach digested my beef sub, with 4, or 5 peach drinks, while my friend had the mushroom burger, if I'm in their area again, I'm coming back again. Their service was also very good. That you very much! read more

Went there with the wife telling her the one that used to be on Davie years ago was great. Huge portions. I was very disappointed. The homemade bun COMPLETLEY covered the tiny patty. All bun little burger taste. One and done !!!!! read more

I was there for lunch. The burger bun was way too big trying to make it look like a large burger. I had to lift the bun up to see the meat which was the size of my palm. Very small. They used to have the best onion rings but now use a different batter. Under new management, this restaurant will not survive read more

Omelettes now use processed cheese instead of natural cheese, toilettes plugged and overflowing, just plain dirty and filthy, how can they remain open? The new owners have turned the place into a sh't show worse than the filth in the Ganges river. read more

Still great! New ownership, but the food and service are still as good as always. Recently had the prime rib, on another occasion, the best of the best submarine sandwich and breakfast. read more

The place is legendary. The food is solid and dependable and from the way people describe it online, it's been like that for over forty years. The tables and chairs look it but they seem well taken care of. It's worth a visit. read more

There's definite nostalgic vibes from Fresgo! I was recently introduced to this lovely step back to the 80s by the boyfriend and I loved it! Good portions, friendly service, truck stop / diner feels reminiscent of "The Pantry" or "Knight and Day". Good value and decent food, I hope they stick around for a while as I'd like to try more from their menu! read more

Great food at very affordable prices Has been our go to place for years Walter runs a great crew that provides service with a smile read more

since Walter has left, it hasn't been the same foods not got the quality they've changed something in there, but it's definitely not the same Restaurant when Walter was there and running it too bad read more

I've been a loyal customer at Fresgos for 30+ years and have always had a positive experience. Last night, while dining with my wife and mother-in-law, I witnessed a scene involving the a women having a angry outburst cause her child didn't like his food. They left a review accusing the owner, Walter, of screaming at them, but that isn't true; the only person shouting was the reviewer's wife. My wife also had the Fettuccine Alfredo and, contrary to their complaint, it was delicious. The way the reviewer's wife treated the staff was unacceptable and a poor example for their children. I want to express my gratitude to Walter and his team for their continued excellent service. I look forward to many more enjoyable meals at Fresgos. read more

Fresgo Inn Restaurant - Fettuccine Alfredo - Diners Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

Love it, I have been going to this place since the 80's, fortunately they have updated a bit since then. The food is great and you get huge portions. The atmosphere is as you'd expect a typical greasy spoon to be, very clean with lots of 80's nostalgia. The place is always full of locals you line up pay and wait for your food, you get a little disc that buzzes and lights up when your food is ready. Love it here I would highly recommend it. read more

Lovely diner with a huge range of food. Has a 80's vibe and has a lovely bakery. Very chill vibes, fabulous service and the owner is amazing we enjoyed our visit. read more

Food-fabulous you'll never leave hungry, Service-they don't listen to well to an order, Ambiance-lacking in customers. Half the restaurant, you might get more customers, add a little bit more spices (NOT TO MUCH or I might stop eating there). Open longer maybe 10-11. Use to be open to 12-1. Covid was bad for everyone. Now the lack of time. People don't always get off work before 5-7. read more

Classic diner, the platonic ideal of what you want from a local greasy spoon joint. The super sub is enormous, I got two full meals out of the large. Everyone talks about the mushroom burger, and the stack of mushrooms is incredible, but I found it a bit messy to actually eat. Still, the place is almost frozen in time in the 1980s, from the music to the decor, and I mean that in the best way possible. A one of a kind treasure. read more

I would give Fresgo Inn Restaurant a 3. I have noticed this place for a while, but never got the chance to try until today. This restaurant has a different vibe. As you walk in you will see a selection of desserts, drinks, and a counter to order food with menus displayed. We ordered the fettuccine with a side of poutine. The fettuccine was very saucy and runny, not much flavour. I didn't enjoy the chicken being a teriyaki flavour. The two flavours together is not a good mix. Definitely would not order that again. The side cesar salad that came with it was very saucy. The poutine was great. It had the perfect amount of cheese and gravy. Overall, the portions were a good size, staff was nice, the food was okay. read more

70's decor. Green neon. Means I need to grow some 1970's pork chop sideburns, big hair and sport some flared pants with some kinda 70's polyester disco shirt to fit in. The place is totally reminiscent of the same restaurant formerly on Davie Street in the heart of the Davie Street Community. Gone are the late night crowds, but peeps still come here. The food is the same as are the portion sizes. Prices have gone up a bit, but not by much. Cafeteria diner food. No tip required. Prime rib dinner for $19.95 on weekends. I just might try this. Located across from Central City Mall, formerly the Surrey Place Mall. Parking in private lot in a non descrip strip mall. read more

Great food, not expensive. We went there on a week day for a late lunch, so it wasn't very busy.

Portions were big. Self serve cutlery makes this restaurant very efficient and quick, which to me is a big plus. Mushrooms were well seasoned. Hope to come back again. read more

Came here with my family and the food was amazing! I got the burger special with fries and it was one of the best burgers I've had. Wifey got the breakfast and was very happy with it. Free range eggs always means great quality ingredients throughout. read more

I have visited this restaurant for over 25 years and used to go here as a child with my mother with excellent food and customer service.My family went here today for dinner and my son ordered fettuccine Alfredo and stated to me it tasted sour.We brought it to the attention of the staff and they were very apologetic and offered a substitute but then the owner came and started screaming at my wife insulted my son never enjoyed his pasta?The burger I ordered patty was definitely frozen and not fresh as before this establishment has definitely changed and we will no longer support them going forward. read more

Bacon cheese burger and fries I'm full with my brother Murray ,Very missy burger but good

This place is lost in the 80's and they do it very well. I am not sure if it was originally built that way or if it was a retro themed restaurant but they sure nailed it. From the music, to the booths, to the sign boards and their food. Today I had the submarine sandwich based on the recommendation of a friend. Pro tip: Ask them to leave out the lettuce because they will fill the sandwich with more meet. And my friend is right. This place has the best submarine sandwich I have ever tasted! Wonderful. And their fries are not bad either. One hero and fries actually feeds two people. Wonderful I say! Huge portions, good value and a really interesting vibe. This place is worth checking out and is only a few blocks away from the skytrain station if you are taking transit. read more

This place is just a simple diner. No fancy decor, no pretentious atmosphere, no menus. The staff is good at what they do. The reason I rate this place so high is the food is pretty good, but even more surprising is the unreal portion size of the meals. Most of their meals can feed 2 and sometimes 3 people. The value is worth every penny. Apparently Fresgo's has been around for years and I only just discovered this little gem thanks to some friends. They serve all sorts of food from sandwiches to burgers, pastas and steak, breakfast to dessert. This place has you covered. So far I've tried the Philly cheese steak and the meatball sub both very good. Also the Schnitzel which is enough for 2 meals. The side Caesar salad is a meal in itself. Desserts are made in house as well. You can even buy whole pies or cakes. You pick your food and order upfront. Once ready they buzz you and you pick it up. I almost guarantee you'll have leftovers. Ample parking as well read more

Never disappointed on service and food quality going all the way Back to the 1980's. Bakery goods always good treat. Hope they can Keep it going and doing it safe for all of us. read more

Chocolate Moose Cake is excellent. Lots of complaints at our birthday party. Thank you to the Fresgo Bakery!

I finally made my way to try the legendary mushroom burger. My date and I made our way here in a weekend and it was surprisingly busy. The 80's vibe seemed very intentional, but the restaurant appeared quite clean and tidy. It was cafeteria style service. We placed our order and seated ourselves. The mushroom burger was impressive. The pile of mushroom was fantastic and made any competition's mushroom burger quite sad looking. The hamburger bun was soft. I found the meat patty to be on the thin side and would have preferred a thicker patty. Fries were alright. They seemed like they were fried in advance and did not have the crisp, pipping hot texture you get with straight from the fryer fries. It would have been nice if the condiments were at the table and not at a station by the food pick up area. There was also a mini display of bakery goods you can purchase. I was too full to try the any of the desserts, but some of the items did look tempting. If you are into the greasy spoon diner experience, this is worth a visit. Prices are average. Portions are large. read more
