Fabulous Freddies Italian Eatery

Ooow... Freddie's has so much more thank pizza that's good! Once the best pizza spots on the Southside. Period. Great salads and a great dine-in experience. The service team are always working because they stay busy. One of my favs forever!

I came here before years ago. I remember it being a LOT better. I was in the area and decided to get something quick. I ordered a WS burger special, fries and drink included. It was terrible. I only ate it bc I was in a hurry and had to leave. I would suggest to stick with the pizza slices.

Local flavor in Bridgeport. Their Combo was tasty, fries were ok. Helpful and courteous counter.

Not exactly sure what is so fabulous about this place, it was very average especially for a place with such high praise. Pizza was very average, the meat balls on the sub tasted like they had zero seasoning, and I just ate it with a fork because the bread was so soaked from sitting there it wasn't worth trying to eat with my hands. As a visitor to Chicago, I had better pizza at the Navy Pier at "Frankie's By The Slice" which is not a good sign.

*** I don't know who decided to cut pizzas like this but unless asked pizza should be cut in triangles

Some of the best Italian ice in the city! Cheap but tasty pizza. It's my favorite any time spot. The restaurant is big enough for multiple patrons. It has seating inside and a patio in the summer. Great customer service.

Used to be my go to pizza spot growing up(have been in south side for 30+ years), although unfortunately it has become an after thought.

Positives, the place itself is nice and is pretty spacious.

To preface the negative , I barely ever give this low of reviews.

What I don't like - quality/portions of the food has diminished over the years. Food is inconsistent, prices have skyrocketed - even before inflation. Why go here when you can go to ricobenes/Punkys/etc.

I also think it's ridiculous you have a manager on yelp, telling customers to stay home/cook yourself. How is that professional? Whether or not she feels justified, this isn't the place to get into fits with customers.

The Italian ice is the best, the food is also good. This is a god place to stop by if you are in the area. They them out you won't be disappointed

A few years back they were rocking and rolling orders out. Now that isn't the case. We ordered boneless wings and they were burnt as well as super tiny. And recently I waited 15min for a frozen infusEd lemonade that had hardly any alcohol either . the staff was casually taking there time with no motivation. Garbage.

I'm surprised the Yelp's average rating isn't better, but I guess my experience is limited to getting take out and the sandwiches. I had actually been avoiding Freddie's because of this, but I am really glad we tried it out. In the past 2 months, I been three times. I usually call my order in and pick it up 10 minutes later. They are always so busy for lunch, but they get the food out fast! I have twice gotten the breaded steak sandwich and also gotten the chicken parm sandwich. They are sooooo good.

There's nothing to complain about. The bread is nice. You can get them with sweet and/or spicy peppers. There's nothing bad to say about the marinara sauce. I like their breaded steak sandwich better than the chicken parm sandwich. The breaded steak is tender and flavorful. Nice texture, not too salty. They are both very messy and you will definitely have to wash your hands after you eat them. They will not be easy to eat in a car.

The sandwiches are big and even the regular size is good to share (if you're not starving). I could probably eat a whole regular sandwich, but I would be stuffed and want to sleep for the rest of the day.

I would highly recommend Freddie's breaded steak sandwich and we certainly plan to go back every few weeks for it.

Normally I would recommend this restaurant. Delivery service is normally fast, but id give the food a 3, thin crust pizza is decent, as well as Italian ice. Wings and pasta are trash! Not to mention the customer service by staff as well as managers is sub par. I ordered delivery and my food wasn't cooked thoroughly and she told me there was nothing she could do! Website says they close at midnight, but she was saying 11. It doesn't take much to fix or adjust errors to accommodate guests. Won't be ordering here again! ‍
