Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers Opens in Beaumont, Texas

Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers has officially opened its doors in Beaumont, Texas, marking a flavorful milestone for Southeast Texas food lovers. Located at 4490 Crow Road, the new restaurant brings Freddy’s signature blend of cooked-to-order steakburgers, crispy shoestring fries, and rich frozen custard to a community known for its love of hearty, comforting meals.

This opening is part of Freddy’s continued expansion across Texas, a state that has embraced the brand’s retro charm and quality-driven menu. The Beaumont location occupies the former Steak ‘n Shake site, transforming the space into a vibrant, family-friendly destination with indoor seating, drive-thru service, and mobile ordering options.

From Steak ‘n Shake to Freddy’s: A Site Reimagined

The building at 4490 Crow Road had long been a recognizable spot for casual dining, previously home to a Steak ‘n Shake that closed in recent years. Freddy’s renovation of the space includes its signature red-and-white color scheme, nostalgic diner-style booths, and a clean, modern layout designed for both comfort and efficiency.

The restaurant’s exterior features bold Freddy’s branding, a drive-thru lane with digital menu boards, and landscaped surroundings that reflect the brand’s commitment to presentation and accessibility. Inside, guests are greeted with warm lighting, retro wall art, and a counter-service model that emphasizes speed without sacrificing quality.

   What’s on the Menu?

Freddy’s menu is built around its Original Double Steakburger, a thin-pressed, crispy-edged beef patty seasoned with a proprietary blend and served on a toasted bun. But the offerings go far beyond burgers:

• Vienna Beef Hot Dogs: Available Chicago-style or plain, with optional chili and cheese
• Grilled and Crispy Chicken Sandwiches: Served with pickles and Freddy’s fry sauce
• Shoestring Fries: Thin, crispy, and lightly salted—perfect for dipping
• Cheese Curds and Onion Rings: Golden-fried sides that pair well with any entrée
• Frozen Custard: Churned fresh daily, available in sundaes, concretes, and shakes with mix-ins like Oreos, strawberries, peanut butter, and brownie pieces

Freddy’s also offers seasonal custard flavors, combo meals, and kids’ meals that include smaller portions and a custard treat.
