“This Dunkin' opened up just a few days ago and there use to be a McDonald here a few years ago and has been sitting empty. This is what Walmart needed for those early morning trips I take (Dunkin' opens at 06:00). Since it is new it is nice and clean and the staff was friendly and service was quick. As of now yes.. 4 stars.. good location, opens early and prices are good.“

“If you’re strolling through downtown Fredericksburg and craving something sweet, Abner B’s is one of those spots that just feels like a must-stop. Tucked right along Caroline Street, it has that classic, small-town ice cream shop vibe that instantly pulls you in.

The ice cream itself is where this place really shines—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Whether you stick with a classic like chocolate or butter walnut or try something more unique, everything tastes homemade and well-crafted. They’re known for having a huge variety of flavors, so there’s always something new to try, which makes it hard to visit just once. 

The shop has a cozy, laid-back atmosphere that’s perfect for cooling off after walking around downtown. It’s a great place to sit, relax, and just enjoy a cone (or two). Staff are generally friendly and keep things moving even when it gets busy, which it often does on warm days. 

Like any popular spot, it can get a little crowded, and service can vary depending on the rush—but overall, the quality of the ice cream more than makes up for it.“

“Great service and what fun 🤩“

“I love going to Carl's anytime I am in Fredericksburg. Their chocolate malts are the best!!!“

“Creative and delicious lattes!“

“Mangoes!!! Wowza, they rocked our taste buds today!

We just tried the peach smoothie, strawberry banana smoothie, chicken curry Jamaican pattie, and spicy beef Jamaican pattie feom Mangoes . The pastry on the patties were flaky and fresh. The fillings hit my love of spice just right.

The smoothies were thick, fresh, not too sweet and better than any smoothie I have ever had before!

They also have shakes, but we didn't try those. If they are as thick and delicious as the smoothies..... oh man...no words!

The service was friendly and quick.

You've got to try this little Fredericksburg gem. It is behind Cowboy Jack's.“

“Today we came.in, not from the area, and were concerned because our daughter has a severe chocolate allergy. The young lady and young man working at 2:30pm were exceptional! They were very flexible and accommodating all while being lind and understanding. And while we ate, we watched them hustle thriugh the next 15 people with the same kindness. Well done you two!“

“My kids ❤️’d it!!! We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Went for first time , met for lunch, typical fast food place , good service, the person taking order needs to speak up little louder, food brought out before we sat down at table, very loud cheese burger not hot don't think it was fresh off grill. Crowded at order counter.“

“We enjoyed our meals at Freddy’s along Rt 17 in Fredericksburg. It was our first visit and Malek explained all that there was to choose from. The large burgers were fabulous with the melted cheese and tasty lean bacon. Their large order of onion rings was the best. The frozen custard was Amazing!!! We tried the vanilla and chocolate, super delicious! We will definitely be returning.“
