I've driven up and down Potomac Ave for years and never noticed Fredo's which is right next door to…read morethe Dormont Theater. I had to stop into Fredo's after seeing photos from my daughter who had just spent two weeks in Bosnia. The interior of Fredo's is like stepping into a small shop you'd find in Bosnia. The yellow walls are welcoming, and cozy. There's a small variety of snacks, and beverages on one side of the shop, and a large counter where you'd place your order. There are a few tables for dining in, but I chose to take my order home. I ordered a small Cevapi and Sirnica, plus picked up some Croatian chocolate for dessert. The Cevapi were delicious skinless beef and veal sausages, that were nicely savory and well browned. A cup of chopped onions, and what I think was a yogurt sauce came with my Cevapi which added more flavor and an overall goodness to the Cevapi. A bread similar to a pita made eating Cevapi easy, and filling. The Sirnica was equally delicious. A wonderful mix of flaky, chewy phyllo pastry, and cheese baked inside the pastry. It definitely hit the spot with a nice balance of a light pastry and mild cheese. I ate the leftover half cold, and it was just as good! The lady at the counter was friendly, and patient with me. The menu is truly a deli menu full of sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. If you're wanting to go for the House Specials, you won't be disappointed!

They have a couple of tables inside for dining and we chose the one closest to the coffee bar. The one employee there took our order and made our food right next to us at the counter/kitchen set up located behind the register. We did see several takeout orders get picked up while we were there. My mom had the gyro salad and I ordered an Italian with no onions or dressing. My mom was disappointed that the "greens" were actually chopped romaine and/or iceberg. The gyro meat was flavorful and had a nice crisp to the outside and the homemade dressing was delicious. The Italian was also decent. I'm picky when it comes to hoagie rolls and this baguette was soft and fresh. I typically prefer more of a crisp exterior, but this was fine. The meat and toppings were fresh and the sandwich was served with a small bag of Lay's on the side. Overall, we had a nice experience dining in the small deli, but with so many options in the Pittsburgh area, I can't say we were wowed enough to be repeat customers.

Such generous portions. I was only able to eat half of my sandwich. Was not charged extra for toppings. We ate like "kings" for $20 plus tax. Make your drink selection from the store before ordering. The servers were very helpful in making our selection. Very cheerful, and brought the food to our table. We had a lovely discussion about popular foods on the menu. The locals seated in the dining area were friendly and engaged us in conversation about the area. The tables are few, and a tight squeeze, but clean and in a brightly lit area. The server let me know that the entire menu is available all day. Bring your appetite, and a cash tip for the jar. You will enjoy the local flavors of the food and ambiance. We will be back often, and with friends.

The bun was way too big and rock hard stale....the fish was overcooked and tasteless, no amount of lousy Kraft Tartar/Tabasco/Vinegar could save it.

I've been to Frisch's a few times, never anything special, but this was the worst. Dining room atmosphere is lifeless... After thinking about it my 2 stars is probably a bit generous...

That was a winner. Crispy outside, moist inside. It was a busy Sunday and they were swamped with catering orders. I was warned that it would take 25 minutes for my order to be ready. No problem because I had other competitors' chicken strips to pickup. My order was ready at the appointed time. Atmosphere is a busy deli. All food, hot & cold, is ordered from the front counter. Meat, cheeses, salads, desserts by the pound. Create your own ala carte meal or deli meats to take home. There is a dining room where your prepared food is delivered to your numbered table. I will return to eat in next time.

The veggies looked like they had been out all day long. The owner is not friendly at all and acted like he didn't like anyone. The place was a little dirty looking and looked like it could use a good cleaning. After I ate my sandwich, my stomach felt upset most of the day after. The owner picks and chooses the customers who he likes and doesn't like. The staff tends to be rude to customers if you try to ask questions about anything. If you decide to visit this location, be prepared for a not so pleasant experience. One thing I forgot to mention is if you try to complain about something that you don't like, the owner turns into a child throwing a temper tantrum. Just go look at his Facebook page how he treats his customers who have had a bad experience.

He adds cheese, waits for it to melt and then puts it upside down on the bun so the roll stays nice. He even keeps his sodas extra cold in a really clean refrigerator.

3 - Good choice if you're in the area. Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more I't s important to note that a "3" in my scale isn't a bad rating. As the others who have reviewed Fuzzy's have noted, the hoagies are really good. High quality meats and cheeses and the hoagie rolls are soft and fresh. They have a few made and in the display case at the register when you walk in. They wrap the lettuce, tomato, and onions separately so the bread doesn't get soggy. I was very happy with my lunch. It's not really a sandwhich shop as much as it is a neighborhood corner store. They have a cooler with cold drinks in the back and a few rows of shelves with chips, canned soup, cereal, etc. There's no seating and they don't take credit or debit cards - cash only. The two senior ladies who ran the register were friendly and welcoming. I live about 30 minutes away, but I only work 5-10 minutes away. So while I'm unlikely to drive here in the evening from home, I will certainly be visiting again on another lunch break. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here.
