Freds Market - Plant City

Homemade South Courts you want back. Ribbons with barbecue sauce are deliciously good. Cookies and gravy yummy! Desserts were sweet, but the calories were worth gold. I love the service. My favourite place for southern comfort.

Party of 9 aye here 7/6/22. First time here, was recommended by a friend. Wasn?t badly busy for a 4th July weekend. We came here around 11:30/ noon. The food was delicious and well prepared. It?s a buffet style southern restaurant. The strawberry shortcake was amazing. You can?t go to plant city and not get strawberry?s. After all it?s the capitol of the world for them. Your party?s can?t be seated until all members have arrived. The staff was friendly and attentive. Never had empty glasses. The bathrooms were clean and not sticky. Somehow awkward with how the doors worked. Nothing degrading point value. Never had fried catfish before, this did not disappoint! Would have it again anytime from here. You pay at front, plenty if seating. Had toothpicks at counter. Everything runs smooth and takes germ precautions well with gloves, sanitizer, and spoons. The parking spaces can be a bit small and hard to find. Well worth circling the lot a few times. Hope to return soon.

Driving on I-4 when my husband spotted a sign for Fred?s Market Place, a quick Google search and we were headed to the restaurant. Now I know I?m gonna get some negative feed back, but this is my experience regarding my dinning experience. Service was incredible, our server Linzee was on top of her game! Our glasses of water were never empty. She was prompt and efficient. Fast forward, the fried chicken was extremely dry, the catfish was just not tasty, the cornbread was also dry. I loved the ranch dressing on my salad. The turkey or chicken gravy, not sure which was absolutely delicious!! The banana pudding was very good. Parking was adequate with easy access in and out of the restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility was good. The restrooms definitely need a facelift. Overall, I?d go back and in fact, look forward to it. Perhaps I will change the review after a second experience.

Love love love Fred?s! It?s like if Cracker Barrel and Golden Corral had a beautiful baby. Delicious home style cooking buffet with quality ingredients. We went for breakfast and will definitely be back! Oh! And that sweet tea is phenomenal!

Insane! Checked it out for the first time for breakfast and had to come back for lunch. Buffet options only being the number of trips to it. No made to order menu. Good home southern cooking. A wide spread of options on the hot and cold sides with desserts waiting. Staff are very attentive to keeping empty plates away and your unlimited drinks filled. Drinks are an additional cost. They also have take out options, where you can buy different size containers that the locals have learned how to pack just right to maximize value. Great decor that is well maintained. Restroom themed as well and clean. On my top 10 list.
