Food is excellent and our waiter was far and above the best they have.
food was excellent! they forgot about our dozen oysters but it’s OK. the price for the food was fair.
Great food, great atmosphere, great service!
The food and service was great. The servers did well with social distancing, while still providing top notch service.
Went for crab stuffed mushrooms but so enjoyed the shrimp and steak. The mushroom risotto was best I have ever eaten. Highly recommend you try Freda’s.
The server Carlos was un attentive and forgot a side and a drink order. Another person had to take our order because he was no where to be found. Other then that everything else was great including food and drinks.
Superb as always!
Valentine’s Day. Closed a little early (started shutting down at 9:00) but other than that everything was great
Great experience, service was wonderful and the food was delicious.
Lovely establishment for couples! The food is okay, what I had, I wasn’t a big fan of ( stuffed salmon with crab meat. It tasted like Tuna). Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu.
The food is always great here. We love the location and uniqueness of the it. We had great service from our waiter and the wine list is perfect.
Excellent service, steaks are great and very nice food portions
There was a weird bug in our water
The staff and environment at Freda’s was very welcoming, warm, and helpful. Randy, our waiter, provided excellent recommendations for both appetizers and main courses. ALL of our entrees were amazing! We will definitely return for another date night in the near future!
Loved the bar and piano player.
Waiter was very good and personable and accommodating ( I think his name was Chris, but not sure).
Food delicious!
Great quality food. Excellent seasoning, served at proper temperature by a courteous and efficient server. Price is also good for the quality.
Great place for a special celebration! We were there on a Sunday early afternoon and the inside dining was peaceful and most people were outside on the patio. Top notch service and food!
We were seated in the back room. The tables were spaced out to follow Covid protocols. Our server was friendly and very attentive. Food was delicious! It was nice to get out and have an enjoyable evening!
The food is amazing! The service is excellent! One of my favorite places in Austin!
Great food and great location! Service was amazing!
Freda's is always an excellent choice. The best neighborhood bar/restaurant. Food is always excellent, the staff friendly and helpful, and live music--especially Eddy playing the piano on Friday night.
Food was good
A nice casual restaurant, socially distanced, with good food and good service!
This place was great for a nice night out. Food was on point. Service was great. Piano guy in the bar was an extra touch we were not expecting. Had an overall wonderful experience. We will be back
We always enjoy the food at Freda's but an added bonus is the professional staff that is very knowledgeable about the menu.
Excellent! Always love our time whenever we dine at Freda's.
The food was right on point and our server was very attentive- maybe a little too. We were in and out of there in 45 minutes. Although he kept saying no rush we certainly felt rushed. Next time I’ll have to be clearer that we want to take our time .
They had pine crusted sea bass on special it was so good! My husband's Riley was cooked perfectly. The lobster shrimp was delicious as well as the crayfish mac and cheese.
This is the second time I’ve been to Freda’s since moving to the area. Both times I’ve had a great experience. My server Tyler was very attentive and friendly. He gave great service and kudos to the kitchen cause our food was delicious. I went in today knowing I wanted seabass and they happened to have a seabass special which I tried. I ate every bite.
Haven’t been back here in years, so happy to be back in Austin. Had a great date night! The food was amazing and our service was prefect. Our server, Dylan was really friendly and helpful with his recommendations! Also super nice to hear some live music!
We frequent here every couple of months and enjoy sitting at the bar. The bar staff is excellent and we’ve always enjoyed good service and the food is excellent as well.
What a great experience. The steak was perfect. The piano player really added to the ambiance.
We always enjoy our time at Freda’s. Great food, ambiance and staff! Lucky to have in our neighborhood!

I decided to celebrate my birthday at Freda's. I celebrated with my Husband and friends (a couple). There was a piano player who was amazing. The wait staff were terrific.
Traveled from South Austin up to Freda's based on the reviews and the menu prices. Looking for good food at a reasonable price. After traveling 30 min we get there to find a brand new menu with prices doubled that of what was on both open table and yelp. Ended up spending just as much as we could have at a downtown restaurant with half of the travel time. Food was ok... definitely not worth the almost $200 bill for 3 people. Probably should have left once we saw the menu...oh well. Lesson learned.
Food was excellent! I had crab stuffed salmon and my husband had blackened snapper both were great!
Our waitress was Angie this time and she was really good as well! We will definitely be back!
Great ambience and romance dining with piano music in the background. The food and service is always excellent.
Outstanding venue with great service even on Christmas Eve. Don’t forget to make reservations if you can. We did and made thing easier for everyone.
Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Will definitely return.
