(Also a personal preference).\u00a0 The beef has terrific flavor all on its own.\u00a0 It may have a slight sprinkle of seasoning. The pickles are mild dill, sliced thin, lengthwise.\u00a0 The bun is soft and fresh, but not nearly substantial enough to hold moist weight. It did crumble on me. Not a deal killer. They did forget the onion on mind.<\/p>\n<p>Fries are ultra crispy, and also thin.\u00a0 Thinner than traditional shoestrings.\u00a0 But great flavor and seasoned well. The restaurant&#8217;s small condiment stand includes a dispenser for two different varieties of &#8220;fry sauce.&#8221;\u00a0 I don&#8217;t see the point. Not sure what it is anyway, like a thousand island\/mayo mixture. Variety two contains Sriracha.<\/p>\n<p>Pepsi products are the fountain option.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to burgers, they offer Vienna Beef brand hot dogs, a couple of chicken sandwich options, tenders, cheese curds, and chili.\u00a0 In lieu of fries with the combos, you can opt for Baked Lays or Apple Sauce.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d go again.\u00a0 BTW, personnel were friendly enough, and although they weren&#8217;t busy, they didn&#8217;t set a speed record for product prep.\u00a0 10 minutes to get my order.\u00a0 I dined in.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/freddysusa.com\/menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Full menu<\/a>.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/freddysusa.com\/locations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Locations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23878\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23878\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-23878 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191104_0001-300x236.jpg\" alt=\"Freddy's Steakburger Review\" width=\"300\" height=\"236\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23878\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Food portion of menu.
