For a traditional American treat, head to Freddy’s for burgers, frozen custard and much more. Though the business has been going since the turn of the century, it specializes in typical fare of Steakburgers, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Crispy Chicken Sandwiches, and Hot Dogs. As well as Freddy’s Fries, you can try Cheese Fries, Chili Cheese Fries, Cheese Curds, and Onion Rings to go with your burger, sandwich, or hot dog. For dessert, you can count on the likes of Waffle Cones, Shakes, Sundaes, and Brownies. Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers was founded back in 2002 in Wichita. Freddy Simon was the inspiration for the restaurant, hence the name, but it was his sons who founded the business. Bill and Randy Simon with Scott Redler opened the initial franchise in Hutchinson Kansas two years later in December 2004 and since then the franchises have kept coming. There were 50 by April 2011, 100 by October 2013, 150 by April 2015, and 300 by March 2018. By August 2021, Freddy’s had over 380 restaurants in the USA across 32 states.
