We were driving back from a spring break excursion and happened upon this restaurant. Our fellow family traveller said it was good and we liked it! We grabbed a variety of sandwiches and also tried the onion rings and chili cheese fries. We enjoyed all of them. I had to read up and there is one in Wylie, TX so not terribly far from home. We will definitely have to go back for more as I didn't get to try the chili cheese hotdog which looked really yummy too.

Every time I eat here their service is great, they always get my food out quick and it always tastes good. The store is clean and kept up nice. I’ve been to a few different Freddy’s and this is always the nicest one

12/27/25 at 3:06pm. Freddys is one of my fav burger spots and that not why I’m leaving the review for this location. Aside from the great food, the customer service was exceptional. Everyone was so kind and helpful. A great attitude and just being friendly goes a long way. Thank you.

Food was great. But the didn't put my bacon on my hamburgers. Paid extra for one because it didn't come with it.

Visited Freddy’s Van Buren today. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. Our cashier, Javin, provided old fashioned, personal service that is seldom found these days. Nicely done. Overall a wonderful visit. A+ from our family!

Tristy was amazing and I appreciate her so much. We ordered online but our truck broke down on the way. I called to let them know I didn't know if I could make it. She offered to remake the food later so it was fresh. Eventually I called back to let her know my dad was coming, but it ended up taking him longer than expected. My dad got there around 30 minutes after the food was made and she offered to remake it AGAIN. Honestly I was just going to warm it up because it was my fault and 3 hours after I ordered. Tristy turned my bad day into a much happier night and I appreciate this act of kindness so much. Thank you again, Tristy!

Good food and quick service. Pretty much everything we have tried has been good. Patty melts are a greasy but awesome. Good fries and ice cream as well. This location has gotten a lot better over time. All the servers we have dealt with have been super polite.

The food was good, but they were out of French fries . How do you run out of the best thing in your restaurant? There were so many people walking out because they didn't have French fries. We were really hungry, so we stayed. The service lacked a bit, too. It's a bit expensive for a quick food place. I think they all are these days, though.
