Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers Set to Open Soon on Aiken’s Southside

Aiken is about to welcome a delightful new dining option with the upcoming opening of Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, slated to open its doors in the near future on the bustling Southside. This eagerly anticipated restaurant will call 1725 Whiskey Road its home, delighting locals with an array of tasty choices.

A New Chapter at 1725 Whiskey Road

The building that will house Freddy’s spans a spacious 3,636 square feet, comfortably situated on a half-acre plot of land. This location isn’t new to the restaurant scene; it previously hosted a Zaxby’s, which closed down in late 2022. With the reopening of this site, Aiken’s residents can soon indulge in the signature steakburgers and frozen custards that have made Freddy’s a beloved name across the country.

A Taste of America’s Heartland

Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers was founded back in 2002 by brothers Bill and Randy Simon along with their buddy, Scott Redler. They kicked off their journey in Wichita, Kansas, and since then, they’ve expanded to over 400 locations nationwide. One of the closest Freddy’s can be found at 505 East Martintown Road in North Augusta, proving that the chain is a fan favorite for those nearby.

What’s Cooking at Freddy’s?

So, what can you expect when you step into Freddy’s? The menu is packed with mouth-watering options that are sure to tickle your taste buds. From their cooked-to-order steakburgers to delicious fish sandwiches and hot dogs, there’s something for everyone. Don’t forget the shoestring fries that are perfectly crispy, and of course, the freshly churned frozen custard, a standout that can turn a regular meal into a special treat!

Honoring Family Tradition

The name “Freddy’s” has a heartfelt meaning behind it as it pays tribute to the founders’ father. This spirit of family is evident in the way the restaurant operates, prioritizing quality and customer service with a welcoming attitude. It’s not just a place to eat; it’s a community hub where families can gather and enjoy good food together.

Changes on Whiskey Road

Prior to the upcoming Freddy’s opening, the property at 1725 Whiskey Road was purchased by 1725 Whiskey Road LLC from Zaxby’s Properties LLC for $650,000 back in May 2022. After some time and changes in ownership, in October 2022, Branchwater Aiken LLC bought it for $1,005,000, and it was eventually acquired by 10 Ring Investments LLC for $1.25 million in late 2024, with Brian J. Stevens at the helm of this Overland Park, Kansas-based investment firm.

The Zaxby’s Scene

For those keeping track of the local dining landscape, a new Zaxby’s has also sprouted in the area, constructed at 2275 Whiskey Road on the site of a former Ruby Tuesday, which opened its doors late in 2022. If you’re a fan of Zaxby’s, you’ll be glad to know there’s still another location at 130 University Parkway in Aiken, providing plenty of options for chicken-lovers in town.

The Countdown Begins!
