Nice home cooking. Good salad bar and dessert. Family oriented. Good customer service

Still the best buffet I've ever been to. Sunday afternoon had about a 15 minute wait. Our server Steven was really nice and took plates away instantly. All the food was absolutely fantastic, none of it seem like it was made for a buffet. All the hot stuff was piping, hot, and fresh. All the cold stuff was chilled perfectly. Can't really list any favorites because there was 12 things that I could say was the best I've ever had (fried chicken, turkey stew, skillet cornbread, sweet potato casserole, corn casserole, Italian cream cake - just to name a few) I tried about every hot item but 5, hit up several of the cold salad bar items, and then tried six desserts. It was bustling in there w/ smiles everywhere. Floors were surprisingly clean. Plates stocked too. Can't wait to come back on next trip.

The food was amazing, everything you can dream of for Breakfast and I really mean everything, even Fried Chicken which is delicious. Get there very early or very late in the day because this place gets packed, but it's still comfortable and quaint. The parking lot will fill up so you may have to wait but it's worth it. I know they have dinner but all I had was breakfast, twice. To top it all off, the price is very reasonable. PS the coffee is delicious

Good friendly service, Not the average buffet, serving quality similar to that of a home cooked meal, they offer a good variety including dessert all of which are replenished often. They serve daily buffet items with added buffet specials each day of the week. I notice they also have to-go from buffet meals available as well. Great place for home cooking, not your average buffet!

I finally made it to Fred's! We came here on a Sunday around the time they opened and there was already a line outside. The buffet is extensive with, so many options. They have an all you can eat options or an option if you just want one plate if you are not hungry. I got the multiple option. I loved all of the southern breakfast choices and it's definitely perfect for a cheat day. It seemed like there were alot of regulars there.

Been coming to prayers for a very long time. My wife and I love to go there for lunch. It is absolutely amazing to service the food is great. Homestyle country food like I grew up on. One of the best places in the area. Is absolutely a must try if you haven't been to Fred's you are missing out. I highly recommend that you give it a try.

If you're looking for a true taste of Southern comfort, look no further than Fred's Market Restaurant in Riverview. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family, greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming, homey atmosphere. The buffet spread is a Southern food lover's dream come true. Everything tasted homemade, like it was crafted with love and care. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection -- easily some of the best I've ever had. The collard greens were tender and flavorful, the mac and cheese was creamy and decadent, and the cornbread? Melt-in-your-mouth good! Don't miss out on their delicious sweet tea -- it's the perfect complement to the meal. What impressed me most was the quality and freshness of the food. Even though it's a buffet, everything tasted like it had just come out of the kitchen. The staff were attentive and friendly, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and making us feel right at home. Fred's Market Restaurant captures the essence of Southern hospitality and comfort food. It's a great spot for a family gathering, a casual lunch, or whenever you're craving some delicious home-cooked dishes. I'll definitely be back soon to enjoy more of their down-home goodness!

Such a satisfying meal I only got a picture of my first plate! All of your favorite southern dishes in a buffet. There are options for single plate prices if you're interested, but we went straight for the full buffet. The service is super friendly and quick! Our drinks were always full and plates were always cleared. The mojo pork and ribs were so good!! They ran out of fried shrimp which was a bummer. Save room for dessert if you go!

This is a great buffet of Southern Food and the restaurant staff are pros. If you are dining on Sunday, plan on a 45 minute wait. I have been eating at different Fred's locations for years. I arrived and there were a lot of people waiting on benches inside and outside the restaurant. I gave them my name and then went to gas up my car. When I returned my name was next up on the waitlist. They have a nice handwashing station right by the door. I was seated and I noticed there were empty tables even though there is a wait. The front of the house paces seating so you are not elbow to elbow at the buffet and the chefs can keep selections full and fresh. Their southern fried chicken is a staple on their buffet. Dinner entrees rotate on certain days. Sundays they have a kettle of pot roast and vegetables. Pork ribs are available after 5 PM on Sundays. They have a nice little salad bar and plenty of southern style sides. The dessert bar is staffed and my peach cobbler was scooped out hot by a host. I guess you can add ice cream but I went with two desserts. I love the nice touches like their heritage Johnson family bbq sauce and your choice of bread from corn muffins, corn bread or biscuits. It is nice that you can purchase a single plate or unlimited buffet. Sometimes you don't want to stuff your self. I like that my server greeted me promptly and filled my drinks and cleared plates without any effort on my part. At one time they had a few Orlando area locations but the Lake Mary location closed during COVID. So I guess I will need to hit up the Plant City area locations.
