Debbie was the best! I was going to order the chicken fingers app and Freddy’s mac and cheese. She suggested I put them together and I’m not sorry! Soooooo delish! Great service and atmosphere!

I ordered the Bacon in The Sun burger. It was outstanding, cooked perfectly with just the right spices and sauce.

We love it at Freddy J’s bar and kitchen.
The restaurant is clean and bright and also very welcoming.
A wonderful family-owned and operated restaurant that is truly part of our Mays landing community.

Freddy J’s is great! Our server Maggie was super friendly and helped us with everything we needed. Pineapple Margs and pulled pork sandwiches were delicious!

I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. Their menu is the perfect length with the perfect variety. The staff is very serious about COVID precautions, and it was very reassuring. The food itself- is AMAZING. Must-have appetizers would include the bang bang shrimp and caramelized brussels sprouts. For entrees, the short rib mac and cheese and Philly melt were also amazing. Finally, the creme brulee was fantastic. The menu prices are completely reasonable.

The staff is really pleasant! Amanda the bartender is super cool and helpful with just about anything you recommend drink wise. My best friend had me hooked on a king island sub cola for pineapple (thank us later) She had me SOLD on the smoked old fashion however and I must say… AMAZINGLY GOOD!They have some of the best wings simply because they are smoke and all the food is made to order daily. Highly recommend it for a hot locals spot and also for a nice chill vibe to catch up with friends or a quiet lunch date. I’ve been a few times and have yet to be disappointed.

I was happy to be back at #FreddyJs for dinner tonight. They recently revamped their menu and we were glad to try some if the new items.
#giantpretzel was our shared appetizer from their special Oktoberfest menu and it was a great start. The pretzel was warm, soft, and well-salted. The beer cheese was thick, rich, and creamy and the spicy mustard was a nice alternative option for dipping.
#wedgesalad was her plate and it's new to their menu. This was nicely presented and stacked high with a base of #iceberglettuce. It was piled with #bacon, #onionstraws, #tomatoes, #candiedwalnuts, and #bluecheesecrumbles, which gave both crispy and chewy textures while also giving sweet and savory flavors. It came with both balsamic and blue cheese dressings, which complemented each other nicely and brought it all together.
#bbqsamplerplate was mine and it offers great variety and many delicious flavors. There were five meats: #ribs, #pulledpork, #brisket, #chickenwings, and #sausage. The first four meats were tender and flavorful. Their #housemadebbqsauce is delightfully sweet and tangy. The sausage had some heat for a nice contrast.
I will add that the #cornbread was pleasantly dense and the #honeybutter added sweetness.
The #porkandbeans were sweet and savory. I appreciated the variety of beans for color in the presentation. I also liked that it wasn't swimming in liquid.
It came with cole slaw, which is not my favorite food, but I liked it here. I was glad that the cabbage was slivered and not minced into tiny bits and again, I love that it was not soupy.
We got two new desserts, which we shared.
#smoresbreadpudding was a fun and flavorful fusion. The bread pudding was soft with the classic flavors of grahamcracker, chocolate, & marshmallow all present and well-balanced. There was some caramel sauce around the outside of the plate to add to the flavor and presentation. There was also a creamy and sweet topping of #vanillacreamcheeseicing. There's a lot here, but it all worked well together.
#chocolatepeanutbuttermousse was our other dessert. We can't pass up anything with peanut butter. The mousse was soft, sweet, and "not too rich." There was a thick layer of rich dark chocolate to complement it well.
This came with a mixed fruit drizzle containing blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry. I asked for it on the side because I was skeptical of mixing all of that together, but it tasted fresh and sweet and for those who like this combo, I imagine it as a unique form of peanut butter and jelly. I will also make a friendly suggestion in presentation. The mousse is soft (on the bottom) and the chocolate is hard (one the top). Cutting it like this smashes the mousse. It might be better to serve it "upside down." That makes it easier to cut and it also shows the mousse as the star of the dish, as the plate is so named.
I will add that our server was Liv. She was attentive and courteous as she answered all of the questions this foodie, could come up with during the meal. 😱😉😛😂🤣
The #wednesdaywarriors would love it here and I reclaim this establishment as #warriorapproved.

Freddy J's is "top of the line." Each time I am there I try something different on the menu and have never been disappointed. I especially am hooked on the Mushroom Risotto but everything is wonderful. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The staff is accommodating and pleasant and makes you feel right at home. I can recommend Freddie J's without reservation. Better yet - get a reservation because the place is always packed. That's what happens when you combine quality with service. Great place. If you haven't already - try it soon!

We went shopping and decided to try this gem while we were out. Short 15-20 minute ride from AC and totally worth it! The atmosphere is so laid back and the staff is very attentive. The food is out of this world and the portions are insane! We had the Brussels, the Buffalo cheese curds, ribs, and shrimp and grits sans the shrimp. We had a full second meal with the leftovers! Can’t say enough about this place and we will be back. Emily A. was our bartender and server and she was just the best!

Everything was great. Really enjoyed the company of my bartender Emily A. Emily is an amazing bartender. I’ve had the privilege to have her serve me behind the stick before. She is extremely professional and very knowledgeable. She’s welcoming and personable which is few and far between these days. Absolutely will be back any shift she works!

Incredible diamond in the rough for an out-of-towner. Needed a spot for a quick bite and a beer after a round of golf on a hot day. The A/C was cranking. The chicken wings were smoked and tossed in sauce which made for an amazing taste combo. Burger with short ribs on top was very satisfying. And the service was top notch! Would 100% be back.

What an awesome place! I was staying next door at The Sugar Hill Inn and spent a LOT of time at Freddy J’s while I was there. Great staff (shout out to Maggie, Ron, and the owner, Grant!), while I mostly just had drinks there and a delicious brunch, the food I did have was excellent-especially the french onion soup (sooo good), and it’s a great atmosphere as well. I’d happily recommend Freddy J’s to anyone and if I lived in the area, I’m sure I’d be a regular!

I was staying at Sugar Hill Inn for the weekend and am so glad Freddy J’s was next door! The food was great, the drinks were great, and their staff was so friendly and lovely. I only tired a few things but if you like french onion soup, try theirs - it’s SO good. A special shout out to Ron, Maggie (sorry if I misspelled your names) and Grant the owner. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and if I’m back here again I will absolutely be spending more time at Freddy J’s

I can’t express in words how grateful I am to Dr Adoda for the amazing work, It’s like we’ve finally rediscovered those things about each other that made us fall in love in the first place.

July 4 update: We had lunch here for the first time last week. Another couple was with us - their first time here ever. They loved it and we did as well - food was delicious! We had pulled pork and burgers - very, very good. Fries were great and the homemade chips are awesome. Hanna (our server) was great and Lizz (bartender) makes a great bloody Mary. Highly recommend.My wife and I had dinner here with another couple on Saturday evening. It was the first time at Freddy J's for all of us. We all had something different and all our food was delicious. The picture here is of the pulled pork sandwich - totally awesome. The home made chips are great - very addictive! Our server was great and attentive (thank you, Amanda!) and Freddy J's had a nice vibe to it.Don't miss out on eating here...

One of our favorite local restaurants! We’ve gone several times for spur of the moment date nights & always been so happy that we did! The staff is incredibly friendly & welcoming. The food & drinks are always amazing and their prices are extremely reasonable. Each time we go we try something different & each time they out-do themselves.This past Saturday we had their hummus platter, smoked wings, street corn, smoked meatloaf, chicken sandwich, a local beer, & their banana cream pie moonshine. Everything was incredible!! Best wings I’ve ever had. So good in fact that after you have them, you’ll probably never want other wings again!If you haven’t been to one of their monthly supper club events- you really should! UNREAL. The food & drink pairings will blow your mind & leave you counting down the days until the next one! (Like we are!)In fact, we had a family emergency the night of the last supper club & had to show up 35 minutes late. I called & spoke with the chef. She was so kind & they really went out of their way to make sure that we received the full meal (with drinks) from start to finish, even taking the time to explain each course & ensuring that we had time to enjoy & savor each dish without feeling rushed.As a family of 8, on a budget, we truly appreciate our time there. Sometimes you just need to get out, have a break, & unwind. It’s really nice when you’re feeling stressed - to have a place that makes you feel so welcomed, appreciated, & valued.Note: I also included a few pics of some of the flowers from their outdoor area. It’s beautiful!Shoutout to our incredibly sweet waitress, Jenna! ❤️

Y’all! Don’t sleep on this place! So cute! Everyone is so friendly from the staff to patrons! The ambiance of the establishment is so cute and homey. I loved everything I ordered to the last bite. This will most definitely be a weekly stop for me! Instagram algorithm suggested this spot to me and it was worth it! Can’t say enough good things! Maggie can slay on those drinks so be sure to give her all of your money!

My husband and I stopped here for lunch after hearing so many great things about this place and boy they weren’t wrong! After being torn on what to order, we both got the Nashville chicken sandwich and collards and we both shared the buffalo cheese curds. Everything was well seasoned and delicious! Liz was our bartender and she was so kind and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful day for lunch outside. Liz the bartender was very friendly and so was our waitress, I believe her name was Melinda. Loved eating outside. I love the buffalo cheese-curds. The pulled pork tostadas were good. The chicken sandwich was good but a little like bland/hot. It was spicy and would have been better with some kind of sweet hot sauce to compliment it. Would definitely go back.

We happened upon Freddy Js and so happy that we did. We sat at the bar and right away Liz was an absolute hoot! In today’s world, it’s so hard to find genuine people; Liz is one.The food was very good. I had the pulled pork sandwich (without the bun because I’m gluten-free) with homemade chips and my husband had the special, which was home smoked beef brisket on a brioche bun with fries and homemade pickles to die for.

My wife and I were looking for a good place to grab lunch and Freddy J's was recommended. We walked in and were immediately greeted and sat at a table for 2 in the bar area. Amanda was our waitress and she couldn't have been nicer. We asked what was good and she suggested the Chicken Sandwich. So my wife and I both ordered it. I have to say that it may have been one of the best I've had anywhere. It was served with homemade potato chips which were just right. The sandwich was topped with tomato, lettuce, pickles and mayo. I will definitely return for another Chicken Sandwich or maybe one of their burgers which we happened to hear another customer talk about as we were leaving. Thank you Amanda for your suggestion and excellent service.

We had a great time at Freddy J’s! We’ve been coming here since the day they opened and every time they impress us more and more. The short rib grilled cheese as well as the French onion soup were amazing! Definitely some of my favorites on the menu. Our server Amanda was so kind and helpful and filled us in immediately on any specials for the day. Had a lovely time as always!

Always consistent with good food and service. Bang bang shrimp and Nashville chicken sandwich are my ho to but I would recommend trying everything on the menu. I have enjoyed it all.

Went here for a light meal while in town. We tried the wings and bang bang shrimp. Both were very good. Andre was our server and he did a great job. It was Friday night so karaoke was going on. We will definitely return to try more food. This is a fun place.

Freddy J’s Bar & Kitchen, what can I say! Great food, great atmosphere and awesome service. I saw a post on Facebook about the St. Patrick’s Day special, corned beef and cabbage, and just had to change our dinner plans. Man was I so glad I did! Our server, Amanda, was so attentive and friendly. And our meals were perfect! I highly recommend Freddy J’s. We love the friendly staff, the owners are awesome and make it a point to greet the customers. It’s my goal to try everything on the menu.

My husband and I decided to go here last Saturday after seeing good reviews on Yelp. Boy did we have a great time! Our bartender Liz is the best!! She made a smoked old fashioned that was so unique and delicious! She was so friendly and made our time there so much fun.The food was simply amazing we ordered the pork belly appetizer as recommended by Liz and Wow it was Just delicious! Not to mention the smoked wings and the Burger was was phenomenal! The atmosphere was casual and everybody there was getting along and having a great time as well. We can't wait to go back and try more delicious cocktails and food! Thank you Liz for a Wonderful day!

This place is the friendliest place with the cleanest atmosphere. A family owned and operated local business with smoked BBQ year round. This place is on a lake view private parking corner. It has ample parking and reservations for parties are welcomed. Visit here! Ask for Liz and receive proper bar etiquette. See Debbie too!

Amazing lunch at Freddy J's Bar & Kitchen. My fiancé had the Crispy Chicken sandwich, and I had the Cobb Salad and Bang Bang shrimp.It's also Wine Wednesdays, so a glass of Cabernet to complete the meal.Amanda was an amazing waitress and so attentive! She's also super pretty!10/10 would recommend.

Excellent food, accommodating service, and a welcoming environment!We had a group of about 15 people here from our local LGBTQ+ group for brunch, and Debbie at Freddy J's took fantastic care of us! She gave us time when we needed to look over the menu and catch up with members, was on top of things when we needed refills for our coffee/water, and she was made sure we had seating that could accommodate everyone without splitting us up. Happy to have this gem in our back yard here in Mays Landing!

Couldn’t be happier with the quality of the food that comes from the kitchen here. I have been here a number of times since they have opened and each time I am greeted with a smiling face and a cold beer. I ordered a Triple B Burger, which comes with apple smoked bacon, bourbon BBQ, sharp cheddar cheese burger and it came out amazing. The bartender Liz went above and beyond both times I was here! Absolutely recommend for anyone to stop by and give it a shot!

We had a wonderful lunch at Freddy J’s! It was our first time in and Liz made us feel so welcome. The bang bang shrimp, short rib mac n cheese, corn bread, and Brussels sprouts were all great. But the bread pudding - oh my word - off the charts! Definitely recommend and we will be back!

Freddy J's is an absolute gem! The food is soooo good and wonderfully prepared. I have named it my new local favorite place to eat. Not only is the food delicious, but the staff is amazing. They are all so welcoming, kind, and friendly. I've had the pleasure of having Maggie, Emily, and Debbie all be my server and they were just fantastic! If you haven't gone to Freddy J's you are missing out! Here are a few of their yummy dishes! Bravo to the chef! 🙂 Hands down...5 STARS!

I don't normally write reviews, but, felt compelled to do so this time. What a lovely experience we (my fiancee) had at Freddy J's! Our server , Brittany, was warm, pleasant, and informative about the various menus. Our dinner was great! I had the half rack of ribs, which come with two large sides, mine being mac & cheese (to die for) and baked beans, also very good. My Fiancee had shrimp in butternut squash risotto. She raved about how good it was. Portions are plentiful at Freddy J's. My half rack was 9 ribs, St Louis style, with a wet rub. Almost forgot, we had A Bang Bang shrimp app.. The shrimp were large and cooked perfectly. We will return again, for sure.

This was our second time here and it did not disappoint…. Food was amazing, we had Brussel sprouts, bang bang shrimp, french onion soup, Freddy J’s burger and the short rib grilled cheese which is why we went and I highly recommend it… It would not have been the pleasant experience without our server/bartender, Maggie… she awesome, friendly and down to earth. Will definitely go back for more…

I’ve gone to Freddy J’s numerous times and most recently decided it was time to leave my 5 star mark on this fine establishment.Their menu evolved over time but their staple items continue to improve as well.The bang bang shrimp is always a great starter and the St. Louis ribs are smoked so well and fall right off the bone.Excellent atmosphere inside and friendly wait staff when I take out.Can’t say enough good things and also looking forward to coming back again!

We went to Freddie & J’s for the first time in July & we found a great new place to eat. The service & food was amazing. We even bought a bunch of their t-shirts which are soft & comfortable. I got many compliments on them. We will be back.

I wish I would have taken pictures, but it all looks so good I dig in right away! We moved into the area last year and we are so excited we found this place. The Brussels sprouts are out of this world, the French onion soup is the best I’ve ever had, and as a huge fan of short ribs I have loved everything I’ve had with them so far (short rib Benny, Mac n cheese, and the short rib grilled cheese 🤤) . Largest selection of whiskey I’ve seen at a bar.

Ate there the other day after magnet fishing in the marina. Food was awesome, I had the Short Rib Grilled Cheese and I absolutely loved it. Washed it down with a couple Yuenglings on tap and I couldn't be happier. Staff / Bartenders were just as awesome as the food. I definitely will be back there.

Stopped in to Freddy J’s for lunch today with my kids and mother in-law. The place is so beautifully decorated. I don’t know where they got the dining chairs, but they are awesome. Super comfortable. Let’s get to the food. My mother in-law had the margherita flatbread, my girls split a cheeseburger and fries and I got the Freddy J burger which was stout braised short rib, crispy onions, sharp cheddar on top of a burger patty. Absolutely mouthwatering. So glad to have found another local restaurant with awesome food. Also, I’d like to add that the staff was all really friendly as well.

My boyfriend and I just left Freddy J’s. We got the Buffalo cheese curds, bang bang shrimp, Nashville chicken sandwich, and my boyfriend got a hot dog. The food was absolutely delicious. Our server Diana was the sweetest. She was delightful. Great great service. Also great bartender Tyisha. You can tell the good is really fresh. Great atmosphere. We live about a half hour away but we will definitely be back.

Had been here a few times for dinner (the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich is my fave), and decided to reach out to them about holding a get-together for our family after a funeral. I worked with Nancy to set everything up for our group. She was super helpful with deciding the menu, how to handle the bar bill, and making sure everything was set up. Everything went so smoothly - our family enjoyed the food, drinks, and the bonding time we had after the funeral. Thank you again.

Newly open, service isn't bad but it's improving with time. Food is mostly really good so far. Interesting menu and flavorful foods. Been there 3 or 4x now and 2 things were overcooked/dry and the rest was absolutely amazing. The service we had Sunday was spectacularUpdate: the new outside area is perfect! They even let us bring our dogs and they brought them water bowls. We love Smitty (server). Food has all been really good. Drinks are fresh and yummy too. Our kids love it. At times the kitchen can be slow but it's nothing crazy... Just enjoy the drinks while you wait!!

I don’t typically write reviews, but my experience at Freddy J’s was absolutely amazing, the service was friendly and efficient, the scenery was calm and home-like. The food was absolutely delicious, chicken and waffles was a success. All tied in by the lovely owner coming by each table thanking us for stopping in. Definitely will be returning.

Food was great for our first try at this bar! Nice size food portions! Nice atmosphere! Great customer service for dine-in and takeout. We ordered wings (Asian Glaze and Bourbon) , Short Rib Mac and Cheese (REALLY GOOD), and Apple Dessert with Vanilla Ice cream. Will definitely be here often.

Fantastic food so close to home, such a family friendly restaurant. The staff is wonderful. Smitty is a great bartender and server and definitely cares about his customers. We have been in here a few times and he recognizes us every single time. Definitely a place I love to come to and would recommend to anyone!!

Went to try out the tavern tonight with my wife. Had a nice time. Server was good and food was very tasty. Had smoked meatloaf, baked beans and potato salad and corn bread. Dining Area was almost full and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Watched some TV. Will definately be going back again.
Lots of luck with the new business.

Freddy J’s is a new favorite spot! I’ve been in to eat 3 times so far and each time, everything is fantastic. The bartender is excellent and the food is always delicious. The restaurant itself is also beautifully done and I love the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend the french onion soup and the short rib mac and cheese! 🙂

This past Saturday was our first time here after hearing all the fantastic reviews, we decided to check it out.. We we very happy with the service and the food was above top notch.. I had the caramelized brussels sprouts and the loaded fries with the pulled chicken. My husband had the steamed clams and bang bang shrimp... Everything was beautifully plated and the portions were large enough to bring some home for later.. It was a very friendly atmosphere ... We will be back for sure!!!!

Service was excellent and Freddy's has a nice atmosphere! This was our first time in and we plan to be repeat customers. They do have a nice selection of bar drinks. I am a little undecided on the food, the corn bread was good as was the coleslaw and the wife enjoyed her cob salad. I was disappointed with the Cuban, but this is not Florida so I knew going it it would be hit or miss. My wife and I both agreed that the brownie with ice cream dessert was great. Prices are very reasonable and you do get a nice portion size. All in all I would recommend Freddy's as a place to get a good meal along with great service. Pretty sure I will be rating it a 5 in the future as more of the food is experienced.

I'm In love with this place. Service is great!Very nice decor with hipster/rustic/warm feel, definitely something I haven't seen in Mays Landing yet.Food is delicious, you can tell it's very well handled, super fresh and high quality ingredients. Fries were crispy, not oily and seasoned to perfection.Some of the dishes needs a dash more of salt, like the beef patties and potatoes salad. Also if the menu says it the food better show it. I got the Mays landing special, comes with shredded pork ribs, arugula and ricotta spread. I got mixed greens not arugula (still good because it was fresh), and the ricotta"spread" was so thin I never saw it or tasted it. The meat it's soft and had very good flavor but the hoagie absorbed most of the juices so it was a little dry. Needs more spread or the salad some vinaigrette.They have a good selection of beers, Drinks menu sounds delicious, specially the pineapple jalapeno Margarita and Mules. But I'm pregnant, so I'll have to wait to try does.Over all, these are little things that won't stop me of going back. The owner is super nice, I wish they do very well with their new business. Let's support local!!

The food is amazing!! If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The short ribs mac & cheese has the most incredible flavor. The tacos el Pastor is is perfect. The meatloaf (pictured) with collard greens and shrimp salad. These collard greens are hands down the BEST collard greens you will ever eat. My new favorite place.
