Who's Freddy?
Twenty one years ago, Freddy and Maria Makhlouf along with their five children put everything on the line and purchased what was then a small variety store.
Thanks to their old-world values and an unrivaled work ethic, the business has expanded into the popular restaurant it is today.
“We were very proud to take a major role in what our parents started. Our goal has always been to offer a quality product at an affordable price and to make our customers feel at home,” says Robert.
To expand their customer base and to enhance the relaxed atmosphere, Freddy’s stepped it up a notch two years ago, this time with the addition of a 30-ft. cocktail lounge offering casual fare and, depending on the day, a selection of sporting events on one of several television screens.
Other favourites include Freddy’s fried chicken, liver and onions, succulent ribs, and made-to-order pizzas. Freddy's Greek salad, pasta dishes, a variety of wraps and New York steak dinners are also high in demand. And, staying true to their Lebanese roots, the family offers hummus, tabouli, baba ganoush, falafel and kafta wraps.
The business may have changed over the years to keep up with the times, but some things will never change at Freddy's. After 21 years of dedication to quality and service, the Makhlouf family is rewarded when customers return time and again to share good food, top-notch service and the friendly atmosphere.
The Makhlouf family is ready to make you feel at home.

In addition, patrons can relax and enjoy the sunset over Lake Erie along with their meals on the remodeled 62-seat outdoor patio.
Over the years the restaurant has earned a reputation for fresh Lake Erie yellow perch, which is lightly breaded and pan fried to perfection.
Everyone was involved from the beginning, so it was only a matter of time before the younger generation would put their stamp on the business.
Eight years ago, sons Michael and Robert started taking on a leadership role in the family business. They started with a major expansion and transformed the little store on the corner into a 210-seat restaurant.
