I stopped in today just to try this place out and it did not disappoint. I can't wait to come back . It was so good I ordered a to go order for tonight as well. The staff was super friendly as well
My husband and I popped into Fred's for a late lunch because I saw gumbo advertised as the special and I thought it would be delicious on a chilly day. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was flavorful. You can tell that the food is made with love. The portions were filling. My husband had the smothered chicken bowl and he loved it. I would definitely recommend!
