Love a burger and fries? Can’t get enough of frozen desserts? You and the gang are in luck, as US family-favourite Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers has landed in Dubai.
And the meals are as much of a mouthful as the name is to say.
The popular US chain – which has more than 300 branches in America – is now open in The Dubai Mall, and it’s a first international location for the company. A second is planned to open later this month in Mall of the Emirates, too.Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers was founded in 2002 by Scott Redler and Bill, Randy and Freddy Simon.
The chain is inspired by ’50s-style diners and “made-to-order meals of the era”.
Dishes on the menu include burgers, hot dogs, desserts and more. Signature burgers include Freddy’s Original Patty Melt, crispy chicken, grilled chicken, double steakburger and bacon and cheese double steakburger. Frozen custard flavours include chocolate brownie delight, sundaes and more. The signature “Turtle Sundae” includes vanilla custard, hot fudge, hot caramel, toasted pecans, whipped cream and a cherry.
“The training and support that we’ve received from Freddy’s since signing our initial master franchise and development agreement has been incredible and a true testament to the level of passion they devote to each venture,” said Yousef Khattar, managing director of Tastebuds Group. “It has been a pleasure working alongside the team to ensure that all aspects of the family-friendly concept will be received well by our guests in Dubai. We are truly elated to celebrate the opening of Freddy’s first international location, and to be able to bring the taste of Freddy’s authentic steakburgers and frozen custard to the Middle East for the first time.”
The restaurant only opened in Dubai earlier this month, but the team has told Caterer Middle East that the brand plans to open five more locations in the UAE in the next 18 months.
