Fred's Downtown Philly is truly a DFW original. Fred's is a casual, family friendly one-of-a-kind Philadelphia Cheesesteak restaurant founded by a real hands on owner, Fred Walker who started this dream in his home garage over 25 years ago. Yet, he still can be seen workin' the grill everyday of the week - except Sunday. Before following his heart and passion & opening his first Downtown Philly Cheesesteak restaurant Fred was a degreed electrical engineer and ITT Tech for IBM. For many DFW area residents Fred's has become a part of their family and we hope that continues! A big heartfelt THANK YOU to our guests still coming to our restaurants during these stressful times.
