Fred's Market Restaurant

OMG ! When I walked in it hit me like a brick in the face, the wonderful aroma of TRUE collard greens!!! The buffet is AMAZING well kept and over all beautiful! What a great job this place does! I have been in the food industry for over 20 years and I was to relax and enjoy every minute that we were there! It was a PLEASURE to eat here and we will be back!

The Southern charm of Fred’s is unmatched. The food is fresh and plentiful for amazing prices. You can watch your fill and then some of over 30 items to choose from. I love the homemade tartar sauce and abundance of veggies I can eat here. The service is friendly and they get you seated quick despite usually having a wait when I go on weekends. I appreciate the authenticity of Fred’s in serving up comfort.

Came for lunch on a Tuesday around 11. Treated and seated right away. Lots of delicious choices. Loved the catfish and the collard greens and the okra. Don’t get me started on and those rolls made by the comfort food gods. They were soft, airy, yeasty and beautiful. The entire place including the bathroom was very clean and attended to. Had a wonderful experience. Even got the cute yellow tee shirt which I found out gets me a discount next time I come - which will be to have breakfast… very soon!

Fred’s in Riverview was okay overall. The staff was very nice, and the buffet was kept full and clean, which I appreciated. That said, something has changed because the food isn’t hitting the same way it used to. I’m not sure if they changed the breading or seasoning on the fried green tomatoes breaded fish and the chicken—all were still good, but they seemed to be missing a little something flavor-wise. That said, for Southern comfort food, Fred’s is still a solid option.

Being from Texas I have extremely high expectations when it comes to southern comfort food. This place surpassed all of them!!! If I could, I would give ten stars!! I ordered the lunch one trip and had: the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese, okra and tomatoes, zucchini/yellow squash and the black eyed peas. ALL were fresh, delicious and seasoned perfectly.I tried the skillet cornbread and a sweet roll and only had dessert because it was included in the cost. I chose the peach cobbler! Thank you for this restaurant and the love that you can taste behind each of the recipes. From a homesick Texan😊 and a forever customer!
