80s sports memorabilia on the wall, movie playing on the tv, and THE Fred Walker rings you up at the front. This place is the real deal. I ordered the classic (steak, onions, mix of provolone/cheese wiz) and it was phenomenal.

Awesome staff and even better food. Ordered the original Philly cheesesteak, fried pickles, and the cheesesteak fries. Fried pickles are salty so order with ranch.

Crazy good. This location is pretty small (only a handful of tables) and had a steady flow of customers. The #2 philly cheese steak combo was so good. I put some Fred's sauce on it and the fries and scarfed the whole thing!

The only place I'll eat Philly cheesesteaks in the DFW area! I often get a chicken cheesesteak and can tell the chicken is made from quality protein and cheesy goodness. Top it off with Fred's hot sauce, and a side of cajun fries is a...Read More

Fred's is the spot for cheesesteaks in DFW. Hands down the best in the business. All of the locations are in some weird corner of a shopping strip, but don't let that deter you. This hole in the wall is better than most fine dining...Read More

I ordered the small Philly with extra meat for a first timer so there'd be no issue with the amount of meat. I'm glad I did. It was perfect. So good the first and second time for leftovers. The bread appeared to be super greasy...Read More
