Sadly, they have closed They will be missed as they made the best chicken salad Luckily The Secret Garden is right across the way read more

Great casual food. We got the grilled chicken sandwiches (tasty chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, aioli sauce), beet salad, fries, onion rings (beer battered, so good), and iced tea. All delicious. Friendly service. Free refills. read more

This was a special little find off the beaten path in the Highlands North Carolina. I believe it's at the corner of Oak and Pine and has a wonderful little courtyard and a more casual dining experience other than the restaurants on the main street. They were friendly, the food was excellent and a perfect outdoor café. read more

See all

It's true, the food is good here, but it is way overpriced for what it is. I got a "loaded" hot dog which was described as "jumbo" sized and covered with chili, cheese and slaw. It was actually just ordinary sized, not jumbo by any stretch, but it was freshly grilled and covered with ample condiments. I liked how they put the cheese directly on the dog to melt it well, and added a couple slivers of onion. So it was tasty, but the problem: this dog cost $8! The "naked dog" option was $6. Fairer prices would be more like $3 or maybe $4, tops, for naked, and $4 or $5 tops for loaded. My husband got a burger, and it was $13. Again, good, but way overpriced. It came with chips, which we don't eat, and we also don't eat the bun, so for $13 there was very little on the plate. He also ordered a side of slaw, and we each got gazpacho and a drink. Lunch for two came to $41 total. This is basically a hot dog stand, so this price is ridiculous. We ate a much larger lunch meal the next day at a real restaurant and it was only around $30. Lunch at a hot dog stand shouldn't come at such a steep price. Also, service was pretty odd. It was mostly done by a very young woman who did not seem to be trained in polite, friendly service at all. We waited 20 minutes for our food and when it was served, it did not have the soup with it. The server said she'd check on it, but then sat down and took her break, eating her lunch, while the place was full during the peak lunch hour. No one else came by doing service, so my husband had to get up and ask for the soup; the cashier seemed surprised that we hadn't gotten it. It seems like it was just an error, which would be no big deal if the sole server hadn't simply "clocked out" in the middle of us waiting for half our lunch. There's no way around it, this was very bad service. And little food, and for $41! Kinda crazy. I doubt we would return. read more

Giving a one star review because I cannot give 0. From the very start this was a horrible experience, essentially caused only by the rude and incompetent staff. Upon arriving there was a very rude older woman taking orders on the register who clearly had no idea was she was doing. After slowly explaining my order in depth she still totally butchered it. After the food came out completely wrong, and missing many items I ordered, they then told me she didn't put it on the ticket and I would have to get up and pay for her mistake. They were rude throughout the entire ordeal and were not apologetic what so ever. They were incredibly aggressive. The older lady who brought out our food also complained about where we were sitting because she had to walk some 10 extra steps to deliver the food. The food was okay, when we finally got all of it and it was finally made correct. The main issue here is the customer service. I felt like I was speaking a different language to these people. Perhaps they were drunk or on drugs, or just totally incompetent, but something definitely was not right. Absolutely no leadership or accountability. Save yourself from ever coming here. There's too many great restaurants in highlands to give this type of lousy service. read more

This spot was not easy to find but boy was it good. My husband and I. It's had hotdogs and fries. Mine had coleslaw on it and it was delicious. We sat outside in the cute courtyard. Very friendly! Definitely give this place a try. read more

Just had a yummy lunch of a baked hotdog and cheeseburger and shared an order of onion rings. We come here every time we come to Highlands.

Very good! This place rocks! I stopped in for lunch & loved it. You go into the little kitchen area & order & the meal is brought out to the patio. They have their own garden right beside my table. The pickles were homemade - perfectly crisp! - of cucumbers from a nearby farm. I recommend Fressers! read more

Delicious. This place is absolutely delicious. With a group of 10, there was something for everyone. Gourmet Grilled Cheese was ordered by 3 or 4 and scarfed down quickly. With three kinds of cheese it has great flavor and was melted perfectly. I had the curry chicken salad sandwich, chef's choice prep for the day, and was not disappointed... It even had raisins, which is my personal sign of a perfect recipe. The Caesar salad is a steal for the price, a large plate that grandma was afraid she wouldn't be able to finish... Of course she did. They even made great accommodations for the vegan in the crowd. Fressers is a great little gem off of Main St that our whole family recommends. And great prices too! read more

Hidden gem behind the public park in Highlands. I had the turkey burger-which was delicious! Other items ordered were homemade chips, fruit smoothie, Caesar chicken wrap and hot dog. All were great! Everything is fresh and well made. Service was very friendly! Will be back! read more

Have been a couple of times over several years and it just misses. No other way around it. Just plain bad!.

Amazing gazpacho!! Good wings and burgers too! Friendly service and you can sit in a little hidden courtyard to eat right by the park. Great lunch place! read more

I was on the fence about giving Fresser's 4 stars as the food is quite good. However, considering the prices, service and location situation, I just can't do it. My wife and I had a simple lunch - me, a burger, her a single small grocery store hot dog (described as JUMBO! on the menu..) with a couple cups of soup, a tiny plastic cup of cole slaw and 2 drinks and ended up with a tab of over $40! This is basically a small food stand with an ordering counter, a few outdoor tables and "service" that seemed to be provided that day by a single young child. We got about half our order and I eventually had to go back in to get the rest of it as the server was having a break or something. Again, the food was mostly quite good. People correctly identify them as serving an excellent burger. I got the pesto/something, bunless of course. You get a nice real patty cooked on a flat top with a nice char on the outside and juicy/tasty on the inside. This was topped with some melted mozz, balsamic vinegar I think and some Dijon/pesto sauce that made for a very tasty combination. These usually come with some kind of homemade chips which I passed on. Their cole slaw was typical but fresh/good. We each enjoyed a small bowl of a nice homemade gazpacho. My wife's dog came with all the toppings but again didn't look like much (and wasn't much ) on the plate - particularly bunless/chipless for $8 I think. The prices are really kind of crazy and not like high overhead to worry about - this tiny, trailer-like stand, a few tables in an outdoor courtyard, and no real service. This block of Oak St is kind of the ugly rear end of Highlands with the back of Main St businesses and lots of garbage cans. Their courtyard location is actually quite nice when you get in there. I'd suggest parking at the nearby park and walking in from the back that way. I'd recommend Fresser's for the food but it's far from the perfect "gem" others claim. read more

Actually called Fressers Express. Located in Village Square one street off Main Street. Good burgers and fries and Quesadillas. Great for take out. Not dining inside, just outside on patio which is fine in good weather. read more
