You can find this location of Fred's Mean & Bread in what I think of as the food court of Krog Street Market at 99 Krog St NE, Atlanta, GA 30307- along the back-side across from the restrooms near where the line to Hop City forms. Parking is a bit sporadic for Krog Street Market - meaning that the spaces get filled up quickly and there's usually some attendant out there collecting money (not sure if that's legit or not). I generally park on one of the side streets and walk a couple of blocks.
I tried veg burger here and it was okayish. Patty was oily and taste was bland but bun was soft and yummy. I also tried fries which had good taste of basil.
OMG! I ordered the Korean Philly and it is phenomenal. Legit Philly and Korean flavors. Paid $14 bucks. Korean Steak Philly. Go get some! Krog Street Market.
Good Food, Good Value
W had the Italian Grinder which was delicious. There’s a lot of meat in it, but the heaviness is broken up by the chopped lettuce, red wine vinegar and tart peppers. Wow! We also had their Cauliflower & Eggplant Banh Mi. It wasn’t as successful. The flavors didn’t blend as well and it was, actually, a bit bland and needed salt. So one big winner and one only OK. Servers were nice.
I'm a huge burger fan so I was really excited to try one of their burgers until I got there. Now don't get me wrong the burgers look amazing and I'll be trying one next time, but I could not pass up their 10 oz. prime rib cheese steak! Phenomenal! Well worth the price, and the bbq white sauce that comes with the bbq fries is stellar, very unique!
Such a cool concept. I got the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich, my husband got the Oyster Po'Boy and we shared the Cumin Fries. I wasn't the biggest fan of my sandwich to be honest, but the Po'Boy was awesome as were the fries. I would go again to try something else for sure. Also the location in Krog Street Market is lively and fun.
Love it. I had the Pimento Cheese Club and the Old Bay Fries with tarter sauce. The sandwich was amazing with the fried green tomato and just the right bit of heat. The fries were fried perfectly and the tarter sauce had a lemon flavor that is to die for. Very perfect for the summer. I will be going back to try more sandwiches.
Up until today, I am not a fan of cauliflower, but if it tasted like this every time I ate it, I would have it at every meal. Both vegetables are fried, and the addition of spicy mayo makes this a sandwich with a kick.
Best Banh Mi I've ever tasted.. We were walking the Beltline last Saturday and stopped in to see the Krog Street Market. Stumbled onto Fred's without realizing it's pedigree. We shared the Cauliflower and Eggplant Banh Mi and an order of Cumin Fries with Harissa Mayo. Best Banh Mi and best fries and dipping sauce that either of us have tasted thus far. That includes a mighty fine traditional Bahn Mi from a famous San Francisco food truck. The Cauliflower and Eggplant combo may sound unusual...and it is in the best kind of way. The texture and taste of the cauli with the pickles, cilantro, shredded eggplant and jalapeno mayo on top of that awesome homemade bread is just perfection. I was wishing we weren't splitting it. You'll not miss the meat, trust me. Next on my list to try is the burger and more of those cumin fries...if I can stop myself from ordering the Banh Mi again.
A tantalizing list of sandwiches.. Dropped by in the first few moments of their first day open, so won’t comment on my porchetta sandwich w/ salsa verde other than to say it was pretty good. All in all an impressive list of sandwiches that all have a little twist on a more common relative. Along with sandwiches there are cups of big thick seasoned fries (bay, garlic, bbq, etc..) and a number of dipping options. Chase all these with a variety of vintage and regional sodas and you have a very high-end sammie experience that is not necessarily cheap but is absolutely a nod to fresh ingredients and attention to detail.
As a side note, the newly opened KSM (Krog Street Market) is probably less than half way full of businesses at this time and features a fun list of open and soon to be opening spots, most with big local name recognition. The drill is big communal tables or take-out for the “Food Hall”, though Fred’s did have a half dozen stools up front.
I suspect I’ll be a regular.
WOAH! I've had both of the burgers from Bocado and The General Muir, but I'd have to say that the bacon burger stack at Fred's is my NEW favorite burger! The sesame bun is lightly buttered and toasted, which give it a nice crunch factor and the beef patties are juicy and grilled to perfection! Additionally, the grilled onions and mushroom, followed by the ooey gooey melted Swiss cheese, crisp pickles and extra crispy and smoky bacon just enhanced the overall flavors of the burger and brought it to the next level! As if the burger itself weren't already amazing, the garlic fries were seriously out of this world! Cut thick like Belgian-style pommes frites (fries) and tossed...
Plenty has already been written about Fred’s Meat & Bread, which opened with a bang and to long lines just a short time ago. I will keep this brief, but the porchetta sandwich was amazing; crispy ciabatta, aioli, and juicy pork… Good lord! Each bite sent juice down my hand; needless to say this was a 3+ napkin sandwich! Anyplace with a lunch counter already tugs at my chilhood heartstrings (Woolworths!), but add in a really cool layout, old school sodas, and kick-ass sandwiches and I’m a regular…during off peak hours! Front of the stall Old school soda options! Vittles The Little Fred cheeseburger was also solid, and a hungry man could easily put down two or three! Old school cheeseburger w/ a great bun Now to the fries…they’re thick and definitely meant to be shared; if you’re going back to the office, skip the garlic version, as they are quite potent, yet flavorful. Love the simple branded packaging! Currently the seating at the stall is sparse but there are scattered tables around the venue; unfortunately (or not) many will be going away as new tenants move in as several of the “seating areas” were for sale. Krog St. seating areas for the stalls – did I mention you could also pick up a red-hued Hank for ~$750? Obviously, both Krog St. Market and Fred’s have been a huge success to date, and I will be a regular, I just wish they could add a homemade moon pie and an RC Cola!
Did a take out with one of the food delivery apps. The order was prepared and dispatched really quickly. Food was pack nicely, stayed warm when it arrived. Loved the Blackened Salmon burger. Had so much ingredients in it, there was such a food mixture of flavors. The little burger was also cooked well, tasted really good with cheese. The fries were decent, just too thick for my liking. But I’d happily order from this restaurant again.
Fred’s Meat & Bread is worth the hype! Both the pimento club and the Korean chicken Philly were delicious, and the fries were excellent as well! Plus, Krog Street Market is just a fun place to be, so I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone wanting a great sandwich in Atlanta.
Best burger I had in Atlanta, and also in a very nice food court, this is an example of how it should be done. You can pick from a huge selection of craft beers at the bar inside and have it with your burger. Does not get better than this
The service was exceptional. Then I had the burger stack with bacon and cheese steak...... They were the best I've had in Atlanta. I'll definitely be coming back.
Tried a few eats here. Loved Fred's Meat & Bread for their Philly cheesesteak. Delicious! It's like a farmers market where you order your food from various vendors and find a place to enjoy it.
Okay the food doesn’t LOOK as appetizing as you would think, but philly cheesesteak and the cheeseburger were so delicious and definitely hit the spot after being on the road for a while.
Every time I make it out to Atlanta I make sure I visit Fred’s.
The Korean cheesesteak is the absolute must have in my opinion. Very unique sandwich and I’m doubtful you’d find a sandwich like this elsewhere.

Ok, this is one of the best if not the best sandwich I’ve had in Atlanta! The Korean Cheesesteak was getting hyped up by everyone and boy did it live up to the hype. I only ate half the sandwich and saved the rest for the next day, and it was still just as good the next day! I’m for sure stopping by again!
Delivery was exceptional. Food and sauces flavorful and hot. The French fries held up really well thanks to the unique way they pack them.
Kroger street market is amazing, great vibes and awesome environment to enjoy a quick snack. Freds have the best chicken Philly cheese steak sandwiches in the Atlanta area. The meat is so juicy and the white sauce is icing on the cake. There are numerous other restaurants in the area so come check it out.
I’ve had every kind of cheesesteak out there including ones from Philly. Bon Appetite magazine said it best “The best cheesesteak is no longer found in Philly.” This is the chicken cheesesteak with garlic fries. Amazing.
With a name like Fred's Meat & Bread, the place better know what they're doing with, well, meat and bread. In other words, sandwiches. And Fred's Meat & Bread seems to be doing quite well in that area.
My wife and I visited Fred's Meat & Bread while in the Atlanta to catch the Braves vs. Dodgers series. I ordered the Goodfellas Cheesesteak. It comes with ribeye, onions, provolone, tomato, and cherry peppers. It was perfect! The bread was soft and packed with chopped ribeye steak and melted cheese. The onions were rather thickly sliced, but I enjoyed them that way. My wife ordered the Burger Stack. She said it was very good, and especially liked the addition of bread and butter pickles to the burger.
We also shared orders of garlic fries and Old Bay fries. Both were delicious! Each came with a sauce, the garlic with ranch and Old Bay with tartar. However, we liked the taste of the fries so much we ate them without the sauce.
Fred's Meat & Bread has limited counter seating, and we enjoyed eating our meal while watching the cooks prepare more Philly cheesesteaks for other customers. As we were sitting there, several other people noticed our food and asked about it. That's when you know you're doing it right, when people see what comes from the kitchen and want it for themselves. But the thing about Fred's Meat & Bread is that their food tastes as good as it looks.
3.7 | My friend really recommended this spot for a great burger and fries combo. I enjoyed the burger, I think next time I’ll try a more substantial one as I just got the regular. I think it’s more smash burger style? but don’t hold me to that. I would say it’s worth a try if you’re in the Krog St area and are craving a good burger but I don’t think I would go out of my way just to have a burger here. However, will be trying it again and updating my review accordingly. They have a decent selection and pretty great fries as well so it’s worth a shot.
I've eaten at Fred's Meat & Bread twice as I passed through Atlanta and it was great both times. I've eaten the cheeseburger and the cheese steak. Both were very good. The Pom Frits were great too and the chocolate chunk cookie was amazing.
It's an easy location to find, just a few blocks east of I-75, and I particularly love the Tesla Supercharger in the parking lot.
