Fred's Texas Cafe - Western Center - reviews,open hours,photo spots, things to do | WanderBoat AI Trip Planner

So Sunday I usually take my family to a local spot to show community support and enjoy local cuisine. Burger spots are some of our favorites. Upon entry we were greeted rather quickly by a young man. Not much for a welcome in but still efficient nonetheless. We weren’t offered indoor or patio (little hot out so understandable). Patio is pretty spacious and seems inviting on cooler days. The place is pretty cozy and kinda warm but didn’t get that super excited to be at work vibe from staff. Got a pretty quick greet but not much of a personality as far as what I expect from server’s in small business settings. You really gotta love on your guests to thrive against the chains nowadays. Didn’t get the guys name and that definitely makes it more of a transaction than an experience. Still friendly and nice but not a memorable encounter. You can really tell when they really care about the guests or if they just wanna get you in and out. Drinks came pretty quick (place was mostly empty on a Sunday afternoon as expected) and we placed our order. Got a Melt and the Todo burger with a couple kids plates. Food came in a timely manner. Wife and I agreed the Todo was the winner by far. Flavors were very complimentary and burger was pretty juicy but a little bit well done for my taste. We weren’t asked how we like the burger temps to be so I guess med-well to well is the default? Not sure honestly?Tell you what though, they are not stingy with the fries and they’re tasty. Even on the kids plates. Peach margarita was pretty good. Pretty typical for a local burger spot but could use some guidance as far as hospitality and guest retention. Overall decent experience but would probably just do a takeout if we do it again. I’m sure it’s a cool hangout if you live super close but all in all, nothing I would deem spectacular. Maybe I’ll give it another shot and catch the bar next time. That’s usually where the talent is. Thanks for hearing my opinion of the place!

Customer service was great. One thing about people they may forget about the things you've done but they won't forget how you made them feel. The waitresses were very attentive. The inside of the restaurant was very clean. It seemed to be well organized. If you are in the mood to dine outside, say no more! This restaurant has a nice patio. The outside patio was clean. The patio is not a huge patio but it has a comfortable feel. There were also electric fans outside to keep the customers cool. So customers who opt to sit outside during the hot summer months could do so comfortably. Great cocktails! This restaurant has a wide selection of beer. Tasty food. I can't wait to do a return visit. I am eager to try their other foods. The hamburgers were very delicious. The burgers are so big they can be shared by two people. I love that some of the dishes have enough food for two people. The restaurant shares a parking lot with other businesses. The outside area was free of trash and the painted markings were clear for parking. There is still plenty of parking even the restaurant shares parking with the other businesses.

So finally getting around to doing the review for this place. I have been here at least 4 time since I moved in to the area. I tried out the chicken fried steak first visit that time it came with fresh cut fries. The new way is with mashed potatoes and vegetables of the day. I prefer fries over the mashed potatoes and vegetables. I do like chicken fried steak it’s one of the places I go to when I want to go someplace different and not the same spot all the time, also the location for me is convenient. Each time I have been there the place is busy but short wait to get seated. The service has been good every time but the last visit. But in all it is still good just bad server. The other item I get is a hamburger. I really prefer a classic burger with cheese and all the toppings. it comes with fresh cut fries which is always good it’s the only way to have fries. The burger was very good, tasty and juicy. Definitely One of my favorite burger places to go. The food all around is good. Service is good sometimes will get bad just the staff. Well worth the visit

Fred’s doesn’t disappoint when it comes to a well crafted burger. My father and I are burger connoisseurs and know when we’ve stumbled across a great and special burger. Yes, the price for the burgers are a bit on the pricey side, however, it’s well worth it for a slice (or patty) that has been blessed by the gods. The waiter was very straightforward and didn’t waste any time getting our beverages and food out from the kitchen. The flavor of the patty was excellent and juicy with no gristle. The buns weren’t overly large and the sandwich itself was built perfectly which prevented the patty from slipping through the bottom end. Many “glam burgers” with their fancy brioche buns don’t stay together amd you end up eating them with a fork. Not the case at Fred’s. You also have the option of having a salad instead of fries which I considered very thoughtful for those who need a bit more fiber in their diet. Also, the beer on tap comes in an ultra frosty goblet which quenched my thirst within seconds of my first sip.

Another wonderful trip to Fred's! we went in for a lighter sandwich and went for two BLT's. Well, we could have split one! It was massive, as all theirs burgers are as well. I had mine with their chili topped with grilled jalapeños. She had fries, always a crowd pleaser. The bacon is hugely featured, applied liberally, and deliciously thick. I must mention we started with the loaded queso, which is actually queso blanco, taco meat, quacamole, pico de gallo, mexican crema and cilantro. Paired with their very nicely done chips (hearty enough to dig in to this queso but not too thick), this appetizer is an absolute delight! We were in heaven. Every time I go here I enjoy everything I try. I also really attempt to not go back to the same thing or things every time. I'm on a quest to work my way through the menu eventually :) I haven't sampled the bar yet but will when the time is right. When the weather cooperates, the patio is really nice. If you haven't been, you need to try this place!

There really isn't much I would change here. In all honesty I might give it 4.8 stars, but that's as low as I'm willing to go. The Serrano burger was awesome. Full of flavor and cooked just right so there was still flavorful juice in the burger. Made it even better that it was $5 during Ft. Worth Burger Week but I'd pay full price. The side of fries were cooked just right, nice and crispy hand cut fries. The margarita was a great choice, one of best $5.50 regularly priced ritas you'll find anywhere. The chips and Queso blanco were great as well. Good flavor Queso with just a little kick, not much but a little. The chips is where I had to subtract that .2 of a star. They are obviously house made so they came out overly greasy and a few kinda puffed up and became chewy. All in all a great place. Great food, service, atmosphere. Wouldn't hesitate one bit on coming back.
