The steak was chewy and overdone. The cabbage rolls were a disappoinment. Service was not good because there was only one waitress. She did great for servicing the whole restaurant. Since they have announced closing so many people want to have that Freddie's experience one more time. My suggestion is just to remember it as it was.

They, like many places, are understaffed. However, while you wish you had water you can hear them wait and cooking staff meeting around and cutting up in the kitchen for very extended times. The food was great! Restaurant was clean.

For those of you who aren't aware Freddie's will be shutting down 12/31 of this year for good due to the passing of the owner.If you have never dined there before I would recommend you try at least once before they are gone.Personally I will dearly miss them.

Everything was good. The serve you a lot of food. It's like a 5 course meal. The filet steak is my favorite it's so tender. All of the steaks are seasoned and ohhhh so good.

This was not our first time here. We normally order their steaks the K.C strip. It's always been fantastic. However, we wanted to try some other menu options. I got the char burger my hubby got the chicken fried steak. My burger had absolutely no taste to it, the bun was not toasted, and I had ordered tabouli and did not receive it until I mentioned it after seeing I was charged for it. My hubby could not even eat his chicken fried steak, it was so tough he ended up taking it home to our dogs. He never recieved his salad at all. He did not mention it, I would of. Anyway, I highly recommend their steak and hourdorves. But not the burger or chicken fried steak it was terrible. We literally left there and was starving. The staff was great. They always are. Maybe they had a new cook, or the cook had an off night. We just wanted our money back so bad. But kept it respectful and nice.

Delicious relish and stuffed cabbage with the main dish of steak and fried shrimp. The steak was tender (recommend having the sauce on the side) and yummy. The owners are Lebanese, so expect a great tasting Mediterranean flavor with the side dishes. ??

The place looked. Great setting arrangements for our group. The salad and tabouli was fair. In my salad there was only green romaine lettuce. Nothing else. Ranch dressing was of a lower quality dressing. Didn't want baked potatoes or their large French fries either. Asked if I could have another salad in it's place. Was told no problem. I wanted my steak rare. Sprite no ice. I ordered Freddie's special Steak.7 to 8 ounces.Everyone's food looked delicious. The party members were pleased with their dinner selections. Tasted the bbq bologna . It appeared to be less than a 1/4" thick. Barely snigged. Lots of cheap bbq sauce over it. Also tasted one bbq rib. Meat was dry. Again lots of cheap bbq sauce.My steak was the only thing on my plate. It looked like it was about 1/3 inch thick. It appeared to be barely cooked on both sides of my steak. Cut a small piece of the steak. The steak temperature was cold in the middle of it. Like just been removed from the refrigerator. Took a bite just to make I was not mistaken. First thing I could taste was the large amount of salt on the steak. I could see no other seasoning on it.Requested another steak. Again the steak was the same thickness. This time the steak had less color than the previous steak. Was colder than the previous steak also. No seasoning or flavor was so ever. I wond up not eating the steak. Instead I placed it the trash on the way to my vehicle.Who manages the establishment. Really needs to look at all their cooks knowledge of preparing and cooking food. I have been in the restaurant business for over 25 years. Never ever would or ever seen a steak go on a plate that. This is totally the management responsibility as well as the cook. Management should know that who they hire can perform the high quality of performance expected out every cook all the time with no excuses what so ever. Very poor management skills is present in this instance.The own also shares responsibility as well. They have the ultimate responsibility of making sure that he turns over responsibility to qualified managers. To have single person from the janitor to the cook to the dishwasher to servers do quality work and watch for potential problems like this before it gets to the customer.As for my recommendations Absolutely NO. Not for their steaks anyway. Not for their special steak anyway.

I wanted to take my friend to a great steak place to celebrate her birthday with a yummy ribeye. We had never been to this restaurant. We like Lebanese hors d'oeuvres so thought we'd try it for a change. Seating was no problem. The waiter was wonderful even though after reading the sign on the door about being short-staffed, he really hustled. We ordered the special, 18 oz ribeyes. My medium rare was more medium well. Hers wasn't bad but both were dry and fairly tasteless. She kept hers and used A1. I traded mine for the filet. It came out medium rare but even that was NOT the quality of meat I'd expect. Both were tough, fairly dry and had more of a sirloin texture. The hors d'oeuvres were also just "meh". Oh well, we'll know better next time. Unfortunately, a little pricey for this under-par experience.

Stopped in after many years and Freddie’s has not missed a beat! They had a sign posted that they were short handed and to please be patient. You would have never known because the staff was prompt and courteous. And the food was SPOT ON POINT!! I have been away for years and I don’t know why. But I am glad I came back. The tabouli and the cabbage roll was just as heaven as I remembered and the steak was amazing with the Smokey sauce.I am back Freddie’s BBQ & Steakhouse. Thanks for a great meal!
Top tier restaurant. Their steak and tabouli is especially good. I got their sirloin special last time I went and it was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Freddie’s. Definitely cannot go wrong with the Filet either. Really everything they have is bomb! Sometimes a little slow the service and food is always on point.

Worst meal I've ever had at a public restaurant! The appetizers included a bland humus wirh nothing but crackers to spread it on and an odd tasting Mediterranean cold salad. My KC Strip was smothered in a horribly bland thick pasty sauce that resembled melted chocolate. The sauce sucked the juice and flavor from the steak! I had to put salt and pepper on my steak just to stomach a few bites. An expensive major disappointment. Needless to say I will never go back and I do not recommend.

Definitely did not live up to the hype from being featured on an Oklahoma travel program. The tabouli was some of the best I've ever eaten, the beans were underdone and under seasoned, ribs were slightly tough and the baked potato was burned on the bottom. They seem to be more known for their steaks and hopefully that is what keeps them in business. It's not a place I would consider going to again. Unless I wanted some truly fabulous tabouli. Their staff was very friendly and we did get quick service.

Eaten here for years, a little run down, but with the traffic of everyone who knows about this place I can see it. Best steak in Tulsa hands down. Comes with four or five courses before the amazing steak, hummus and veggies, tabouli, stuffed cabbage rolls, ribs and smoked bologna, salad, THEN dinner, amazing the whole trip. Amazing staff, our waitress has worked there 46 years and still doesn’t miss a step, friendly, knowledgeable, a staple. I’d have photos of the food, but ate it too fast! If you’re in the area, you’ve got to stop!

Food was good, personally felt a little overpriced, but inflation I guess. Service was outstanding. I had the fish fry with a cabbage roll.
