I’ve never had a more delicious malt before, first of all just go for the soft serve custard!!!! The burgers a juicy and huge! Best customer service ever, nicest people cooking and putting love into our neighborhood I’m so grateful to be able to support such a beautiful business! Thank Y’all Fred’s

This place is really worth the wait! Don’t let the window vibe deceive you, this food packs a delicious, fresh, filling punch! You wait so long cus everyone is eating at Fred’s! From the BLT, to the burger and fries, to the fresh custard this food is absolutely satiating! Expect to wait an hour and receiving humble, pleasant service. Soooo yummy!

Words cannot describe how amazing this place is. I came there by chance on a beautiful Saturday afternoon looking for lunch and stumbled upon this place! I got a grilled cheese, chicken tenders, and milkshake not knowing what to expect. Let me tell you the sizes of each of the items were portioned amazingly for such an affordable price! The whole atmosphere brought me back to my childhood going to the local ice cream shop where I grew up that was a community hub for everyone. Really brought back that old summertime vibe you don’t see anymore. While I did have to wait about an hour for the food it was well worth the wait and I can see why this place is so popular. The first bite out of the grilled cheese just filled my mouth this that authentic cheddar flavor you can only find with the high quality cheese you expect from Wisconsin cheese! About 7 seconds later I didn’t realize I was already half way done with the first half of the sandwich as I just devoured it. Same goes for their chicken tenders which are so crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside which is a hard combo to get perfect as every other restaurant just rushes tenders and you get either crunchy and dried out or moist and a little soggy, but whoever the chef in the kitchen is does it perfectly! As for the milkshake oh it’s amazing and one of the best I’ve had in quite some time and I consider myself a food tourist. Mixed perfectly together my caramel milkshake was thick, but yet so easy to drink out of a straw. The flavors were mixed beautifully together instead of some areas missing out on flavor. As the kind staff said behind the counter they take time with their food because they care and do it old fashioned. I’d wait another hour again for the amazing food I had and for the kind staff who treated an out of town traveler like myself with such kindness! I travel to Milwaukee often for events or vacations and I can guarantee that this is going to be one of the stops I MUST make each time! Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing food made with care at a price that gives you the most for your money! There might be a lot of places in Milwaukee to go for food, but as someone who loves food this is the spot I would recommend for anyone looking for one of the last true restaurant with dedication made into your meal! A big thank you to the staff who served me the other day! I will be back eagerly hungry for more soon!

I had to stop by and say hello to good friends and eat their good food! If you haven’t been here yet you seriously need to go! Get a burger and some Cajun seasoned fries. You will not be disappointed! Also, the custard is rich, creamy and delicious!

Fred's Drive-In is a great place with great food and great/friendly staff. Located on W. Vliet across the street from the NTF Police Station. Has a very unique feel to it, reminiscent of a 60's style diner. The customers are good people, fun to talk with, and courteous. I'm cognizant of the fact that most people don't want to be in photo's. However in conversation with a customer I asked if he would be ok with being in a photo that will be on Google Maps. He agreed to my surprise. I had a fun time reviewing Fred's Drive-In! If you like this review please hit the Like button!

really enjoyed the experience and will surely be back! cheeseburger with caramelized onion and bacon cheeseburger were both delicious. burgers are well sized and very juicy. fries were crispy and well seasoned. peanut butter milkshake was really good but not great.

First timer here. Picked up my order this evening. I was greeted by a genuinely kind and helpful guy. My meal wasn't ready yet (I was a bit early) so he asked which car was mine and said he would bring it to me when it was ready. A couple minutes later he brought my food to me in my car. I ordered two burgers, fried pickles and fries. All of which were delicious. Best burger I've had from this area of MKE. Highly recommend.

Incredibly friendly staff and an amazing burger topped the way you want, and cheese fries so cheesy, you’ll have to rake through it with a fork to find the last few fries. I got a double bacon cheeseburger “garden style” (or was it “salad style”?) (because my skin can’t handle that spicy bread), and a small cheese fry. (You’re right, I probably shouldn’t have had the fries either. But I had to try them!)
