One of TEXAS best #seriously! Try the chicken fried steak... #yum! And, the taco-cheese-fries are a tasty treat as well! If you're in or near The DFW, it's worth the effort to "Check In" at Fred's!
David FuriosoAugust 23, 2015Burgers are huge and delicious! Recommend this place for a texas size burger
EaterOctober 5, 2011Patio. Live music. "Cold-ass beer always." Fred's Texas Cafe is a ridiculous and wonderful party that even Guy "Diners, Drive-In's and Dives" Fieri couldn't ruin for the locals. [Eater 38 Member]
David PittsJuly 15, 2015Serrano burger and the Oaxaca burger are some of the best in the city/state/universe. If it's super crowded, check the inside bar.
EDWARD GOVEAApril 11, 2017Great burgers here both the diablo and serrano.. try it and you'll find out.. I promise you'll like it if u like a spicy burger..
DeimosJuly 5, 2015A little bit on the pricy sode for burger and diner fare, but good nonetheless. Try the Diablo Burger if you enjoy a bit of a kick.
Great music venue, avoid the food. They aren't a clean people. Seriously, don't eat. The burgers are not the best in FW either.
famous for their burgers and cold-ass beers....but they also make a KILLER grilled cheese sandwich. the tacos are heaven and you can't go wrong with the chicken fried steak. don't forget to get a rahr Read more
Standpoint PromotionsOctober 9, 2013Fred's pretty much perfected the patio. You can sit inside if you want, but why would you? Grab some friends and get down on some great food!
Chris KCCOJune 22, 2014This place is a total dive!!! And I absolutely love it. Food is great and the staff is friendly as hell! Highly recommend stopping by.
Matthew EmeryFebruary 14, 2014Best hamburger and beer joint I've found in Tarrant County. Hands down. And there are some good ones.
Ray HartjenOctober 4, 2014Burgers are good, but the chicken fried steak will keep you coming back again and again.
Mark BoaseMarch 14, 2014Chicken fried steak was perfect. Fork tender, cooked perfectly, and covered in plenty of gravy!
Dustin HaleyAugust 19, 2014Mimosas and Migas, can't go wrong! Also, the friendliest staff, couldn't be more impressed!
Fischer Real Estate ServicesFebruary 21, 2012Best burger in town, get the Diablo burger if you like it spicy. Live music on the patio regularly and cold beer always.
Samantha CaudleSeptember 16, 2010The ABSOLUTE best burger I have EVER had! Service may be a little slow but that's because there are always TONS of people there. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
Grill DoctorDecember 28, 2013Great music. Nobody pretending to be city here. My kind of place. Good place to feed my country roots.
Ramsey MohsenJune 16, 2012Go with just a plain burger with cheese to get the full effect. The patio is awesome if they have live music.
Holy crap! If you're really hungry, get the pork chops and don't look back. It's a lot of food and it's amazing!
Go on Sunday and get Quail and Eggs. You can have the eggs any way you want them, c'mon, you have to get them over easy
Kate JonesMarch 4, 2013Check the specials board as they change it up every day: Street tacos, lamb stew, etc...
Chelsea WAugust 20, 2013The Enchilada Burger is to die for!! It's not on the menu so definitely ask for it!
Best burger in Fort Worth. Or dallas for that matter. Ask for jalapeños if you like the heat... They are freshly cut for your mouth fire. Diablo Burger! Portabella "Burger"! Fred Burger! Read more- Lance BeechwoodSeptember 9, 2016Always full and busy. I enjoy the burgers and they are quite good, but a touch dry for me.
Mychelle BurnsSeptember 11, 2011French fries are fresh and yummy! Always sit outside and enjoy the live music when weather permits.
Benjamin LariviereDecember 18, 2011I've only been here for Sunday breakfast and it is amazing. Very friendly and accommodating staff.
Best live music in the Fort! Tuesday thru Sunday night and all day on Saturday and Sunday!
Bobby WagonerJanuary 9, 2012Try the chicken fried steak. Super awesome. Plus you'll have some left over for lunch tomorrow too.
Shri LDecember 28, 2016Slow service. Can get really hot or cold with the open air seating. Great burgers
Tell the watchdog guarding the parking garage next door that you're going to shop West 7th. Otherwise they won't let Fred's patrons park. Boooo! Give 'em Hell, Fred's.

- gabegSeptember 8, 2010You can find all types here (Punk, Cowboy, Hippie, Blue Collar, Country Club types) ad they all drink beer and enjoy the burger's just like they were family.
Doug CaldwellNovember 17, 2011Featured on Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins,& Dives. Limited on street parking, note the parking restriction signs. Too crowded no parking go to In-Out burger nearby.
Arianna RojoMay 25, 2013Good burgers, but nothing out of this world like others say. Horrible service if you can't find a table and have to sit on the bar stools. We had to find someone to get our order and it was very slow.
Can't go wrong with a Diablo Burger and a cold Shiner.
Timotheus ShidalJanuary 14, 2012The diablo burger isn't that hot - go ahead and try it - seriously but it tastes great!
Robert DechantOctober 24, 2010Great food and great music. Good calm place to hang out at before you hit the night life of fort worth.
DutchrubMarch 24, 2011Fredburger, cheese, jalapenos. My all time favorite. The jalapenos are grilled, not pickled <3
