    Drag show was amazing, one of them gave my best friend a quick dance to celebrate her getting married, BJ severed us always joking around with us super fun, and nice, the owner freddie was great and gave my friend advice on love. They only thing i we had a problem with was everyone one was receiving their food at different times and the bride was basically forgot about other then that Freddies and by far the best restaurant I've ever been too and highly recommend!!!!

    We read reviews giving Freddies 4 stars out of 5. Freddies is nothing more than a gay bar ( my wife and I have gay family and do not judge). The bar was cold (30s outside) and therefore we wore our jackets. Food quality was good but the menu is basicly bar food. Alcoholic drinks were watered down.

    Freddie’s hospitality and customer service was spot on, you really felt like you’re welcomed and wanted. Food was solid, ambiance lovely and fun. Freddie was super kind and walked us over to his other restaurant Fredricos, a trattoria just like the kind I grew up going to, will go visit soon. He was also nice to walk us over to a consignment shop, and got some real cool pieces. Thanks so much my lady loves it and wants to go ASAP

    Not happy that my party of 2 was sat in the back next to the t-shirt case and ATM. As a result, we were disturbed and inconvenienced severs times. Reservations were made a week in advance but still ushered to the back and could not see the stage of performers. However, we made it a point to tip every performer.
