"Great graphics and the smell of garlic can’t help but draw you in. The old-school menu offers straight-up sandwiches & fries along with Cauliflower & Eggplant "Banh Mi" and a Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich added in for a little spice. The garlic fries will make you drool. (And ward off vampires should you be plagued by them.) Fred's is located in Krog Street Market." - Brand Bird
"Michelin recommended General Muir has been serving owner and chef Todd Ginsberg’s iconic Double Stack Burger for many years in Atlanta, and locals can grab an iteration on the go at Krog Street Market’s Fred’s Meat and Bread. Beyond Atlanta, chef John Benhase, who consulted on the film The Menu, recently revealed that the burger in the movie was inspired by his experiences as a sous-chef at the General Muir and described how the approach to crafting a burger at the restaurant profoundly influenced his understanding and appreciation of the dish. Needless to say, for those seeking a burger that embodies craftsmanship and deliciousness, the Double Stack is a must-try. Best for: Hollywood’s famous double stack at a Jewish deli" - Michael Tran
"Fred’s takes the top spot on our best sandwich guide because they’re severe overachievers. We don’t have a guide for best pimento cheese sandwiches (yet), but if we did Fred’s version with crispy bacon and a fried green tomato would make the cut. That’s because every single dish on this Krog Market food stall’s tidy menu is piled with high-quality proteins, including salami and ribeye, and served on bread made fresh daily by TGM Bread (a.k.a. the team at The General Muir). And while their meat and bread combos go full feast mode for sandwich lovers (a cheesesteak or burger is always a good idea), their hand-cut fries with toppings like white BBQ sauce or garlic bits and ranch elevate things even more." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
"Nobody does sandwiches in Atlanta as well as the Fred’s Meat & Bread stall in Krog Street Market. And that sentiment extends to their burger. It comes with two juicy patties, a few slices of cheese, mayo, and pickles stacked on a sesame seed bun (the bread is made fresh daily by TGM Bread, the team at The General Muir). The burger is juicy and so good we’re always tempted to save half for later, but that’s always a fail." - jacinta howard
"This Krog Street Market food stall has a collection of generously filled sandwiches that earn them a spot on our best sandwich guide, but Fred’s cheesesteak and burger top that pack as the best thing on the menu. Get the classic with chopped ribeye, caramelized onions, and melted american cheese all on a warm, long roll. One bite into that perfectly crispy roll (made by the General Muir bakery team) should make any Philadelphia transplant question their allegiance to the Amoroso roll. And when you want to mix it up, get our favorite, the Korean cheesesteak with spicy candied jalapeños drenched in gochujang sauce. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and saucy zestiness gives us all the warm feelings. " - juli horsford
