The service at this Searcy fast food chain lives up to the founders mission statement - exemplary! Unfortunately, the short order cooks did not get the same memo, hence the 2 star rating for the excessive, salt brine taste, which is more than the end product deserved. Searcy, Arkansas Freddy's Steakburgers & fries have gone from the expertly seasoned indulgence I have eaten time and again at the McCain Blvd location in NLR to a salt encrusted and inedible, fast food disappointment. In fact, I literally could feel my blood pressure rising while attempting to find the juicy flavor I fondly remembered. Salt is meant to flavor this kind of food -not mask or bury it. The only diners that could possibly truly enjoy this enormous level of salt have had their taste buds removed or severely altered.
Unfortunately, Freddy's in Searcy quashed the flavorful nostalgia I felt for this chain - not unlike Slim Chickens "saltfest" in Searcy (try the one in Conway - light years better, simply because the cooks are trained to season rather than drown food in excess salt).
I don't understand why people invest in these lucrative fast food chains only to destroy their own product by ignoring the simple act of discretion when seasoning. The end result is inedible & more than a moderate incentive...
Read more9-4-2024 Burgers were undercooked today. I should have sent it back.
Today's experience I rated as a one for a reason.
The food was as normal. The service I was completely disappointed in today .
As we were getting ready to pay for our meal which was a total of $47.30 today which is considerably more than normal due to price increases.
After already feeling like you're getting ripped off, I was then asked if I would like to round up to the nearest dollar on my total.
You got to be kidding me right???? I told the girl that took our order. I would like for you to round it down. (Round the order down 👇👇👇.)
You really need to stop asking people if they want to round to the nearest dollar when inflation is already killing people on prices!!!!
Any more price increases but I can promise you that no one in my family will ever eat it this establishment again.
NOONE WANTS TO BE ASKED FOR EXTRA MONEY. IT'S WORSE THAN A HOMELESS PERSON ASKING YOU TO GIVE HIM MONEY WHEN YOU LEAVE.
FREDDY'S RESTAURANT DOES NOT NEED TO BE BEGGING FOR DONATIONS!!
YOU SHOULD BE A DAMN SHAME OF YOURSELF.

Read moreLike every other business, Freddy's has been bitten by ridiculous inflation. Since coming to Searcy, we've eaten there many times, most of the time leaving satisfied. The burgers are good and custom if you want. The chicken is okay, but not anything to write home about. Freddy's sides are tasty and make the meal, but be prepared to pay that extra chunk of change for less food than it used to be. The cheese curds will cost an extra $2 for what is pictured and an extra $5 if you go "large." They also have onion rings and tater tots if you don't want the fries. Any of those matched with Freddy's Fry Sauce is a winner, and Freddy's fries are the best shoestring fries in town. Pictured is my order tonight at a cost of $10.79 for the burger + $2.00 for changing to cheese curds + $0.30 for a large cup. My wife's meal was the same only with onion rings, which are an extra $0.25 instead of $2. Add on a mini sundae each, and our meal for 2 was just under...
