"A Good Place for Lunch" submitted by Tom in Woodbridge, NJ:
Thankfully Freddy’s has opened and given us an alternative to fast food and pizza in the Easton Avenue area of Somerset. Located just off of World’s Fair Drive, it’s convenient for the many businesses in the area and perfect for meeting friends.
I met friends there for lunch today, and had a very enjoyable meal. Dark wood floors, walls and tables provide low key ambience. The primary feature is the multitude of large and small flat screen TVs, today focused on the World Cup (well, it is a sports bar). The large rectangular bar to the left, the dining room to the right, is separated by a cut-through wall.
Our waitress was pleasant and quick to provide preferences regarding the menu. Try the chili. With large pieces of steak and a minimum of beans ... it was served lukewarm, and since I like mine piping hot, she was gladd to take it back for a quick warm-up. Be prepared, the bowl of chili is a really big bowl. The Cobb salad was fresh and crisp with nice big pieces of avocado. My Chicken Cordon Bleu Panini was very good, with crisp seasoned fries. My other dining companions enjoyed the beef brisket sandwich, with sweet potato fries, at our waitress’ advice. Drinks were refilled quickly.
We were in no rush to eat, and our meal was served at a leisurely pace, although I’m sure that if we were on a schedule, that would have been accommodated. We had an enjoyable, unhurried meal.

Brand new building, nice decor. Decided to eat out on the Patio. The fried calamari appetizers come with a great spicy mayo dipping sauce and the cobb salad was really good too. The staff are very attentive and friendly. I would go back. Lots of TVs make the place a great sports bar.
