Fred's has the best subs in Plano! We go there often to pick it some up, and have never been disappointed! It's nice to go to a local place that's not a chain. If you like Philly Subs you should check it out!

I searched high and low all over DFW. Just go! You'd want two of them cheese steaks. Their mozzarella sticks also has a good spice to it.

Late afternoon lunch and the service was fast and they were friendly. Cheesesteak was delicious! Lots of chicken, onions and cheese. Cheese fries were good, but either needed more fries or a bit less cheese. Only negative is that they forgot to put the bacon that I ordered on the sandwich. I will be back to try one of their other cheesesteaks as they had many good options

The food is delicious and the people are so friendly and kind. The ambience reminds me of a family owned restaurant I visited in Chicago; very warm and relaxed. The workers and the manager clearly had a friendly relationship that helped me feel at ease, especially with how content the workers are. I'd recommend the mushroom philly. The prices are very affordable as well. After standing outside for a while in the cold, eating the food they gave me made me feel less anxious and alone, even with my parents in a city away.

Now let me start by saying how upset I am that Fred's is closed at 8 pm. I'm about to cry because that's how bad I want a Philly from there right now!! THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS!! This was my first time here and O M G ! The Pepper Philly I had today was phenomenal. Outstanding. Magnificent. I added jalapeños and green bell peppers (the jalapeños were missing but oh well, it was still fire). I danced the ENTIRE time I ate. I was humming and thanking God for this delicious meal. I added the Cajun fries at the end and I'm sooooo glad I did! They were soooo good, my co-workers kept tryna steal my fries. They were perfectly seasoned and fresh out the grease. My type of fry! My photos don't do the food justice at all. I placed my order to go and April was so sweet, on the phone and in person. Her name is very fitting because just like the spring, she made me smile. I would come back from the service alone. This business is BLACK OWNED so for those of you who want to support, please do! They deserve it. The actual restaurant was pretty busy during lunch but there was still plenty of seating. I saw so many happy men grubbing, so I knew I hit the mark. I loved all the Philly decorations and I will be back AGAIN for lunch tomorrow since they're closed now I know I'm going to be dreaming about that Philly tonight!
