Tried their opening for brunch today and it was really good! The brisket and bread pudding was my favorite they also had good jalapeno sausage, gumbo, and breakfast options. The service was fast and there was no waiting. Will be back!

The crab cake was phenomenal, one of the best I've had in a while. The jalapeno adds a nice and unique kick to this classic. A great heaping portion as well. Something I would get on every visit back if I have the chance. I was looking forward to trying the rainbow trout Alexander but unfortunately they had run out of rainbow trout that day. The chef came out and expressed his regret and was so kind about the whole situation, totally did not need to do that but such a thoughtful gesture. Instead I had the salmon Alexander and stumbled into a really amazing dish. The salmon was cooked really nicely, the crab topping was extraordinary, and the pesto rice which I've never heard of before was awesome. The setting here is a nice dinner out, perfect for a date or family celebration. The bar is quite large and separated from the dining room. I could see it being a great bar to have a drink. I have come here a few times whenever I'm in town to see family. This place really is great, always look forward to it.

Freda is an amazing woman and has an admirable work ethic! This is a locally owned long time AUSTIN FAVORITE! Make the drive, you wont be dissapointed. One of my very favorites!

Went to celebrate my niece birthday and it was Amazing! We almost ordered everything on the menu! Our server acted a little intimidated by us like we were going to run out on the tab! Maybe because we ordered so much stuff! Me and my brother had old fashioned and we both agreed it was the best! Nice atmosphere. Great place for a date or family dining. And they also gave my niece a free crème brûlée. It looked it good but it was tasteless also. A little disappointing because it looked amazing. The only we didn't like was the calamari because it was tasteless. And the etouffee! I do not recommend especially if you've had it the New Orleans way.

Freda's Seafood grille is a hidden gem. In order to get to the restaurant you have to do a U-turn off Hwy 183. After entering the large wooden doors you were opened to a dimly lit restaurant that was akin to a speak easy. It had Louisana Creole styled menu and flavor. Luke, our waitor, immediately greeted us and asked if we wanted anything to drink. We ordered the peach martini and tea. The peach martini had vodka with a peach liquer that floated in your mouth lite and airy. The tea was strong and flavorful. Luke did a good job looking after us. Next we experienced the appetizers, iceburg salad and gumbo with cornbread. The iceburg lettuce salad was draped with a thick piece of crisp pepper bacan with tomato and salad dressing...so yummy! OMG, the gumbo was the best I've ever tasted...an explosion of flavors in your mouth...large shrimp expertly cooked, anduille sausage (very uncommon for gumbo in Austin) and a rhue that want to make you slap your thigh. : ) Oh Yeah...the cornbread, the best I've eaten in Austin. The cornbread was a bit sweet, buttery and literally melted in your mouth. The cornbread had real pieces of corn inside. I am little ashamed to say we had two servings. All winners!!! Bring on the entrees...coconut shrimp and catfish and crab stuffed salmon. The portions were large....enough for two people to eat one meal. The catfish was lightly battered with big pieces of catfish and the shrimp was delicious. We both packed up half our meals to go. At this point, I'm too full to eat another bite...so I thought. We were celebrating a birthday and Freda's provided a complementary Creme Brulee dessert. I'm not a fan of Creme Brulee generally, however, this one was different. It was lightly toasted with a thick flavorful pudding. Yum to the nth degree!!! I would definitely recommend Freda's for a date night!

I tried to attend one of the wine dinners every few months that they hold the last two Thursdays of every month. This was last night's offering (set menu with wine pairing for $100) on 9/26/24. Freda and her family are very welcoming hosts and they create a beautiful room and an opportunity to learn about the wines that are featured for that dinner. Last night was Conundrum Wines. Their food is very well prepared and delicious. The regular menu is very good with lots of seafood options and full bar. I appreciate their wine menu as it offers a lot of different options. I have to say this Is a neighborhood favorite for sure. Me and many of my friends go here a few times a month.

Homemade Butter I really love the cornbread. It's not sugary like most, so you can actually taste the flavors. They make the butter in-house too. The entrees have a Cajun flair, so expect stuff like Étouffée poured over blackened catfish.

Ate here tonight for my first time and all I can say is get here fast if you want good seafood in Central Texas. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff super friendly and helpful, my waiter Rob was always around with a drink refill, awesome suggestions on food and just all around nice guy. I had the shrimp diablos appetizer- Best I have ever had, not sure if it was the shrimp or the remoulade sauce either way best ever. I had the Bourbon Street Pasta for dinner and it was great. It had the perfect amount of spice, lots of crawfish and shrimp. I will definitely return next time I am in town.
