Fred's Water Ice is a popular spot for a sweet treat and a satisfying meal. Their water ice is described as tasty and creamy, with a variety of flavors to choose from. One customer mentioned that they can get a Swedish Fish water ice that actually tastes like the candy, not just frozen sugar water. The water ice here represents what Philly is known for, and locals often prefer it over Rita’s.
The restaurant also offers a range of savory options, including pizza pretzels and kabobs from the grill. Customers remember Fred's water ice cart from the early 2000s at Clark Park, seeing this place as a continuation of that tradition. They enjoy ordering gelatis—combining custardy ice cream with delicious water ice—and find the flavors and textures excellent.
Service is friendly and fast, with plenty of tables to sit and enjoy the treats. The welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot for families and locals alike. Parking can be a challenge, but free street parking is available nearby. Overall, Fred's Water Ice has a reputation for excellent service and top-notch water ice flavors, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a sweet and savory experience.
