The team listened to our thoughts, offered suggestions and helped guide us with food, drink and decor choices. Most everything was done over text, email, and facetime videos so we could get a feel for the place. We were so pleased the day of to be greeted by attentive staff, a beautiful space, set up and grazing table. The food was amazing, we were happy with the choices we had for entrees, and the decision to offer dessert at the grazing table worked out well to get people moving and mingling. The dinner went right into welcome drinks with over 100 more people coming in and the staff managed the flow of the crowd really well. The specialty drinks were a hit. We couldn't have been happier with our experience with/at Amber Ox. We would highly recommend them! Sue and Tom Dean Darien, CT

I have found here on the East Coast, the staff behind the counter was super helpful as it has been a while since I have been to a Freddy's, the inside of the restaurant was very clean and our food was cooked fresh and came out rather quickly, I would definitely recommend this if you like a good burger and custard.

Low and behold there is a Freddy's in Williamsburg, so we decided to take a little "part-of-the-day trip" to chrck it out. Upon entry, everyone working there greeted us and were super friendly. It was pretty busy in there, and i found the tables and chairs to be super close together and i felt a little claustrophobic. Maybe it was the abundance of the color red. The lady who took our order at the counter was very patient while we figured out the menu, which is mostly smash burgers in a variety of iterations, along with a variety of sides. I ordered a "single cheeseburger " with a side of shoestring fries. The cheeseburger is actually a smashburger that is practically a paper-thin "burger". It was very bland, to be honest. Their burgers, unless otherwise specified, come with pickles, mustard, and onions. The shoestring fries were awesome. Simple, not greasy. My husband got 2 Steakburger Tacos, which he said were "just okay". He also got a side of tots, which he found to be overly greasy. We couldn't leave without trying some of Freddy's Frozen custard. I had a small cone of vanilla, which if blind-taste-tested against McDonald's soft serve, i wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Which is fine. We also got a chocolate malt shake, which was super good. Was it worth the drive? Meeeeehhh. The best things were the shoestring fries and the milkshake. Oh, they also serve Pepsi products. This is the first time that I have ever seen Pepsi Zero in a soda machine at a fast food restaurant. That was pretty cool. It's the little things. Would we go again? Unless there was a much closer location in RVA, probably not.

During our most recent meal, we enjoyed the blood orange martinis, the ham and mozzarella appetizer, short ribs, fish special, and crepes dessert, plus a bottle of pinot noir. The restaurant bills a 3.5% surcharge to support the kitchen staff. I would much rather see that incorporated into the menu prices. I don't understand why it's separate. I understand providing a competitive edge to staff, just build it into the prices.

The nitro stout on tap was enjoyed by a few in our party. The "chips" aka fries that came with our burgers were exceptional.
