Tried this for the first time today. Can’t believe I’ve never been here before. Great local spot! You can tell the staff cares about making the best food they can.

Fat Freddy’s Sub Shop is small nearly hole in the wall«cash only» sub and cheesesteak operation. Located in an aging strip mall, and though it has a couple tables and chairs, basically serves sit down over the counter and take outs. The key slogan of Freddy’s offerings is: «Stuffing your buns ALLways,» and on that count they do pretty got job of it as their steak and cold cut subs come super stuffed. I ordered their menu listed«Favorite» steak sub which consisted of a super thin electric sliced ribeye beef, onions, mushrooms and cheese done on a griddle and served up in an Italian style whole wheat sub roll; sort of a knock off of the famous Philly Cheesesteaks served in Philadelphia at Pat’s or Gino’s. However, for my taste, much better both in flavor and taste than any I’ve ever had at either Pat’s or Gino’s and containing substantially more meat, cheese and onions; the bun really being totally stuffed. One of the keys to a good cheese steak sub is to get the ingredients of meld together retaining moister and full flavor. On that count, Fat Freddy’s really does it well. Mine was moist and combined with a mixed full flavor of all of the ingredients used which I found to be one of the best most flavorful cheese steaks going. The service I had was good, I enjoyed the casual laid back counter service atmosphere of the place and the food at prices no other establishment I know of can beat for what you get. Four Stars Plus

Get the BBQ Beef w Cheese. Been getting it since I was a kid. Best sub place to go to in Oakland Park/Ft. Lauderdale. Awesome service, fair prices and the food is unreal. Perfect place to grab lunch at but call early, they get busy.

Old fashioned sub shop. The employees/owners are great and you won’t get a better sandwich anywhere else. If you are going for lunch try and get there before noon for a seat.

They have an amazing steak and cheese. I love their spicy sauce on it. The hours are limited, its not fancy, but the subs are delicious! People are friendly enough. Whenever im nearby, I try to pop in. Yummy!

This sub shop is decent. I enjoyed a steak and cheese sandwich for lunch. I wish I had asked with onions or peppers or something because although it was good, it needed a little more flavor for me to rate it 5 stars. It didn’t seem there was any seasoning on the meat which can be a plus or a minus pending on what you prefer. Provolone cheese alone couldn’t carry it all the way to five stars I’m sorry to say… lol There certainly wasn’t any shortage of meat on the sandwich either which was pretty encouraging to see. I definitely will head back there for another sandwich sometime soon. It seemed very friendly and the customers that walked in behind me as well as the ones who were there were all on a first name basis with the cook and the server. Nice to see that still exists around town.

Not worth the money… They nickel and dime you, charging for extras such as olives /banana peppers, where other sub shops offer for free. Beware — Cash only too.

The service I received wasn’t great but the Turkey Club sub I ordered was pretty good. However, I won’t be going back because of the service.

I have driven past this place countless times. On the recommendation of a friend, I stopped in and picked up a sub. The sub was pretty good, a chicken sub with grilled onions, mushrooms and cheese. The problem I have is this place is open from 11 – 3, Monday through Friday. Not a huge amount of time open(20 hours a week, plus all of the«prep» time they are there)(can’t be much more than 40 hrs even if they shop for themselves). It appears as though it’s a family owned and run place, I love spots like that. However, since that time, I have attempted to call in an order 3 times. 2 times they were closed, once was at 2:15 and once was at 2:30(I tried 4 – 5 times calling back, no answer) the third time they were closed on a Wednesday. I had to throw 2 stars because if you’re only open for business 20 hours/week, you should be open those hours. It’s not like they recreated the hoagie, it was good. Just seems that it’s not the best approach to business, especially a small shop like that. It’s a little dated on the inside, which normally is a big seller to me. If I ever get past the few times of annoyance, I’d probably eat there again.

Best subs in Ft. Lauderdale. Always HOT and FRESH. The workers learn your name and order and call you by it. Very friendly place. I always get a cheeseteak with extra american, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and fried onion. If they read this review, they know who I am.

I’ve seen this place many times inconspicuously tucked into a strip mall on Prospect Road just west of Andrews Ave in Oakland Park. I go over there fairly often to mail stuff at the general store called Ward’s City, which is much faster than the post office, and also my barber is over there. Anyway, back to Fat Freddy’s, I stopped in today for the first time. I saw they have just about every type of sub, but the ones with grilled chicken on the menu caught my eye. I asked which one was the best of the chicken subs? The woman behind the counter was very friendly and nice, she said they are all good but probably the chicken bacon & cheese. Then she asked 3 pretty big guys seated at the counter if the chicken bacon and cheese was good and they all nodded. She said all 3 of them were eating one right now. I went with a large one($ 8.00) with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and«light» mayo and she actually listened to me when I said I only like a small amount of mayo on my sandwich. Most places just slap it on there thick no matter what you tell them. The sandwich was delicious, by the way. Service was also fast and friendly, so I will have to stop in there again sometime. It doesn’t seem like many people know about this place, at least this location because I’m over there lunch time probably once a week and I never see a crowd there. One drawback is they only take cash, and have signs posted all over declaring it.
