I read about Freddy's in an LA Times article ranking the 15 best fast food burgers, and I had to try it because it was my first time hearing about it.
Walking in, I loved the dining room because it reminded me of an In-N-Out but more elegant and colorful. I ordered a Freddy's double cheeseburger (their signature) and was also surprised and delighted that it tasted much better than an In-N-Out double double. In fact, it was what a double double SHOULD taste like, because both patties were actually hot and juicy (not dry) and they were thicker. The patties are smashed style, which usually are dry, but in this case they were not (although they were a bit greasy/oily). Instead they were delicious because the edges were crispy and hot. Did I mention that each bite was very hot and juicy? I just can't get over how good this burger was. Very different than In-N-Out where there is only a dry piece of meat and just like biting into a bunch of lettuce and tomato (sorry In-N-Out, I still love you but that is my reality with you).
Moving on to the custard: wow. We ordered the seasonal pumpkin pie custard, which promised a full slice of pie mixed into vanilla custard. This was so different than eating pumpkin flavored custard, or custard where pumpkin filling has been blended in. With each bite you would get a big CHUNK of pie crust or pie filling or both...it was heavenly and unlike other pumpkin desserts I've had!
I looked on a map to see where the other Freddy's locations are in SoCal. Only Victorville (this location) plus two in San Diego County (lucky San Diegans!). I truly wish I lived closer to Freddy's, but it will have to be a stop next time I'm heading East or South, 1.5-2 hours out of LA!
