“A detour from Jimmy John's led to another Plant City gem.I was headed to Jimmy John's to grab a quick bite while running errands.At the corner of my eye, I saw a sign for a new restaurant. I love finding hidden gems in Plant City, so I entered. I don’t regret the experience.It was clearly family-owned, and everybody was involved in making sure I felt comfortable. They are a classic cafe bakery, and everything looked and sounded great from the descriptions. I was greeted by who I believe is the owner. He was warm and welcoming and informed me of their menu. The cashier at checkout was a young girl who was patient while I fumbled through what I wanted. I believe the mom suggested the chicken salad and even gave me a sample to try. It was very tasty. I settled on a turkey slider, a small pepperoni pizza, and their popular chicken salad sandwich.The turkey slider was simple and straightforward. Meat, cheese, and bread. I was honestly under the impression that it was a ground turkey burger slider. This still worked out, as it was a sandwich for my toddler. The only reason I would not purchase it again is because my toddler does not typically go for cold-cut sandwiches. It's a great option for kids and was recommended by the young girl cashier.The pizza was crisp, fresh, and hot. You can't go wrong with the classic pepperoni. The crust is more like a New York slice, very thin with a crispy bottom. I love the sauce on this pizza. The pepperonis were also salty and greasy in the best way. LOL. I'll order this in the future to share with my toddler.The star of the show was definitely the chicken salad sandwich. I wish I would have gotten two of them. The chicken salad comes on two mini croissants. It was filling, but not heavy. Light but not full of fluff. The chicken was seasoned well, and I loved the addition of grapes and apples. I know I have to bring my mom back just so we can buy a pint of the chicken salad. It is that good. I see why it's popular.They did have a great range of desserts as well. I all my own Bakery and could tell just from looking that the desserts were well prepared and not try. When I go back for a pint of chicken salad, I'll be sure to grab at least a slice of strawberry cake. It looked delicious.Overall 5/5 experience. Great food. Superior service. Nice quiet spot to exhale and enjoy a treat.“

“Fred's Market Restaurant has mastered the art of good, southern, homemade cooking! This is the original Fred's location, and it shows! From the food, to the customer service, to the atmosphere. If you think about a family restaurant, I guarantee you are thinking of this restaurant! We thought the Lakeland location was our favorite but have changed our minds. Traveling from Ocoee was worth it, and Brenda provided the definition of service like she was family! We would definitely drive the hour to come back if we knew she was here! I believe this is what the Johnson's envisioned when they started it all. All I can say is, "Wow! We love Fred's."“

“I ordered via door dash. I typically expect colder food etc. However I was happy to find I received very hot tasty food. Outstanding corned beef hash and tried chicken liver and they were great. Just wish I could go in person for breakfast but they open to late. Only knock would be food could use a little more seasoning but still low ve it and highly recommend.“

“Had a 327.00$ take out order for a family luncheon. Monster Lobster Rolls and a deluxe BBQ pack. The food was amazing. Fresh delicious Lobster and plenty of it. The BBQ was moist and perfect. The sides especially the mac n cheese and potato salad were like homemade. The wings were meaty and smoky Definitely recommend.“
