Here is the deal! If you want REAL Southern cooking! And I mean REAL in cast iron cooking! This is the place to come!! It’s a Buffet restaurant and well worth the price! There was nothing on the bar that I tried that wasn’t good. The fried green tomatoes and the sweet potato casserole was just like Grandma makes! The fried chicken and the mashed potatoes made me wonder if the spirit of my mother was guiding the cooks in the kitchen. So if you are ever in the Lakeland Florida ever and want to dine on the Best southern cooking outside of Moms and Grandmas kitchen. Stop in and feast on this amazing food!!

Amazed by the look and food of this restaurant. Wasn’t expecting that it would be a buffet, so yes, it was much better. The food was really good, and a very extended variety. They are clean and organized. They had gloves to use when serving your food.

My daughter & we visited this lovely, clean, affordable family style restaurant. The food & service were great. I tried to finish my plate, but I couldn’t I even took home a gallon of sweet tea If you’re ever in the Lakeland area, do stop in and pay Fred’s Market Restaurant a visit.

We visited Fred’s market today thanks to TikTok let me tell you it did not disappoint!! We came from fort Pierce almost 2 1/2 hrs away and we would do it again just for the peach cobbler alone it was amazing if you love soul food like we do this is a must! The service was great everyone was very nice! Felt like being with family! I love that they have a sink to wash your hands and gloves right by the buffet. The food was Soo Good there’s something for everyone and the prices are great!

Well, this place pretty much has any southern food you could imagine, from a spectacular salad, bar, delicious proteins, an abundance of sides, and don’t you dare pass of that desert area.

If you haven’t tried this restaurant! You need to go immediately. The food is amazing. Everything I tried from the potato salad to the fall off the bones was delicious. The food is like Big Momma cooking. The buffet is only $20.76

Amazing food, great place, but the attendant (Aileen D) was extremely rude. she made my family uncomfortable with her job. The table got dirty and our refilled drinks were not replenished. I will never go again

Most awesome buffet with Southern favorites. The salad bar had all the usual options. Fried chicken breast was crispy and moist. Ribs were tasty. Strawberry shortcake was awesome. The service was efficient and friendly. We were able to be seated right away on a Wednesday night. Tables were mostly full.

First time visit to a Fred’s for myself, I know I’m a slow mover. My wife and kid’s have been here before and out with their Nana so I decided to take some of the family out and I’m very pleased I did. I’ve heard how good the food and atmosphere here is but now I’ve gotten to experience it myself. Will be a nice go-to resturant/buffet next time we’re in the mood. Food was amazing and I just about tried it all to see if quality slipped in some for the benefit of other dishes but everything I tasted was on point. Had the fried and grilled chicken, yellow rice + chorizos, ribs, fried shrimp, fried green tomatoes, mac & cheese, salmon(was freshly put out as I arrived and boy was I glad I grabbed some), mashed potatoes&gravy, green beans(so amazingly flavorful), + desserts that I shared with our toddler who wont stop asking/signing for “more”. Our server was a wonderful woman who was very good with our littlest one and helpful for my older child. She was very astute and had our delicious sweet teas refilled before I even knew I needed it refilled, it was so good I knew I could trust my server to deliver a refreshing refill without questioning if I even needed it, for I knew, she knew, when the perfect fill opportunity would arise. Thank you again for singlehandedly setting my dieting back to square 1 but so worth it!
