Freddy’s could be the best restaurant in the Chicago area. It is hidden in the west side at 16th and Austin in Cicero. It is cafeteria style, but the food is beyond delicious. I’ll start with the pizza. Their margarita is their specialty. The crust is crunchy then chewy. Then it is smothered in a perfect sauce, cheesy, then basil, sausage or supersetta. Then there is calamari pizza, mmmmm. Entres include lemon chicken, rigatoni with vodka sauce, chicken parmesan, Marcella, sausage, salads galore. Their fish salad is quite possibly the best thing I ever tasted. Squeeze a lemon on top. I have not even mentioned the deli section yet. I have been here many times but have never really delved into the sandwiches. I really like the lemon chicken and I usually take a piece of pizza home. The gelato is the best I have tasted. Smooth as silk and very tasty. The prices are a bit on the high side, but I don’t mind splurging on it, it is the best. I just talked to the owner, and he made his way out to say hello. He has been making the recipes since 1968. The markdown for atmosphere is because there really isn’t any. It doesn’t need it. It has its own street corner and that’s it. Don’t expect a fancy shmancy restaurant, but the street corner on 16th and 61st street makes for a romantic backdrop. Anne and Joe are the owners and cooks, say hello when you visit. IT IS CASH ONLY, CASH ONLY.

A legendary Italian deli. The best in the Chicagoland area. The pizza is amazing, the sandwiches are incredible and the Italian ice is to die for. Worth driving through Chicago traffic for.

I absolutely love, love this place! We live about 45 minutes away but will still go here for their Italian ice. No one else makes it like them. Small place but great variety of food options. There’s always people there but the staff are very fast in getting your order ready and your way.

A great famous local spot offers great food choices for example different kinds of sandwiches, salads, pizza, ice cream, different Italian foods and more I myself got a rice ball which was delicious fresh and hot they also have outside eating Which is great for hot days during spring and summer my only complaint is that the place is somewhat small and cramped there’s only a narrow space left for a line to be formed with hardly any wiggle room otherwise good staff, good food great spot to get a bite to eat

Freddy’s is not just a place to eat, it’s an institution. It’s a place I rode my bicycle to when I was a kid and a place that’s just as good 25 years later. This is a family business and a place everyone in the area should be frequenting often. Pizza, Beef, sausage, pasta, chicken, bread, etc etc etc… everything is delicious.

the food here is fabulous despite being REALLY far away from me if I’m anywhere remotely nearby, I will stop by. it’s just to good not to. the best gnocchi anywhere. a bit chaotic atmosphere at times but it’s the kind of place that it fits the vibe. part deli part restaurant part pizzeria part Gelato shop part grocery store. it’s just the best. there’s enclosed seating outside if you need it. and most importantly CASH ONLY!

Every time, a lovely encounter! The staff’s humor is very engaging, in my opinion. Without a question, the food in the Chicago area is some of the greatest! Since I was a child, I’ve never had a negative experience visiting this location, and the costs are reasonable. I’d love to keep showering them with stars forever! They are pretty kind people that always have smiles on their cheeks. It’s crowded a lot of the time, and for good cause! Fantastic atmosphere, wonderful people, and amazing cuisine!
