“Stopped by here with a friend to try out the place. We didn't go in but went through the drive thru instead because we were leaving Iowa and heading back to Ohio. The service was top notch and very friendly atmosphere. I ordered a grilled cheese steak burger which was cooked well just overly salty and the cheese curds I ordered was salty as well. But the orange dream frosty milkshake was on point. It tasted exactly like a orange push pop or dreamsicle. Bravo on that! I've tried several other different named restaurants that didn't come close to what Freddy's tasted like.“

“Cute froyo shop, good place for a fun treat. Lots of variety with toppings and flavors, staff was friendly, store was clean. Came in right before close and felt bad about coming in when they were ready to close shop but the workers didn’t rush me and were super helpful. I would like to see more machines working at a time, a few were out of order. Other than that it is a nice place and I would definitely recommend. Overall, the shop has a fun atmosphere and great service. Will be visiting again next time I’m in the area.“
