"For those who say that Golden Corral is comparable, I do not see how they might say that. Golden Corral has mediocre service and mediocre food (if the food is not sitting on the buffet for so long, it is crusty or mushy). Freds is a great place to get real South cuisine! We were never disappointed with the quality of food or services. The buffet usually includes pot roasts, roasted tomatoes, sores, collar, pole beans, rice, potato maize, sweet potato casserole, baked Mac n cheese, grilled fish, fried fish, fried chicken, ribs, etc. I will say that this is not a place to go for those with food restrictions, itp those with heart conditions that need to observe."
