Lady at the counter taking orders was always in a rush to take orders and not meeting customer needs. So much so that she incorrectly took our order and our food came out at all different times. Finally when they came out with the food some of it was cold and salty. Only giving this review a one star because Unilocal doesn’t let me give them no stars. Horrible experience and will never return. Don’t recommend this place for anyone.

Fred’s Deli offers an interesting collection of lunch items that will satisfy tourists and locals alike. Eight of us ordered an array of lunch specials. I went with the BLT and a cup of chili. I initially wanted the BBQ sandwich but they were out of BBQ. The kitchen put extra bacon on the sandwich to compensate for the lack of BBQ. They even toasted the bread. It turned out to be an above average BLT. The star of the show is their chili. Without question. Fred’s chili is loaded with meat and beans and served very thick. Crush a heaping portion of crackers and you’re as happy as a clam. Some of the best chili in recent memory. Service is super polite and friendly, but the line seems to get backed up rather quickly. The dining area with high wood ceilings make for unmatched natural lighting. Definitely worth checking out!

I was waiting in line for breakfast with quite a few other customers for about twenty minutes. The line was moving really slow as no one seemed to be working. All of a sudden this female employee comes out from behind the counter and tells everyone that breakfast is over and we need to leave. The people is front of me lost their minds! They had probably waited for half an hour. When we complained about waiting for so long the employee said she didn’t care and no one else would be served. We stay on Beech Mtn every year and have banned Fred’s.

Friendly staff and great food. We ate for lunch, took home bbq for dinner, and went back for breakfast the next morning. The portions were generous, and the prices were good. We also shopped at the general store upstairs for all the things we forgot to bring with us or couldn’t, such as dish detergent, laundry soap, cold medicine, soda, and wine. They have about anything you can imagine and were a cheery stop on rainy days.

Every small town needs a General Store like Fred’s. It is a combination of grocery/deli/gift shop/ski shop/clothing/hardware store. If you are stranded in a blizzard and in need of food, they are always there and have a surprisingly big selection that goes beyond staples to include fresh stuff, specialties and nice selection of wine. The best part is that you don’t have to drive down the mountain to get what you need. Reasonably priced considering the convenience. The Backside Deli is one of my favorite spots — with the best Chili in the area. My other favorites are the Country Club sandwich, tomato soup and taco salad. Their summertime«backyard burgers» are grilled to order outside and include side orders. So good! Other reviewers have complained of slow service, but come on… It’s a small kitchen, with a hard-working staff and they make everything to order. Keep yourself on «mountain time» and remember you are on vacation… RELAX and get to know the people in line with you.

Well worth the wait! The first time we tried to eat here they were closing for an hour to transfer to the lunch menu, they were super kind and still lets us sit and have coffee with our kiddos. The second time just the two of us came in for breakfast and it was slammed busy. Seriously worth the wait. I don’t know how they cook their bacon but it was perfect! Breakfast was perfect to start my day, and the staff went above and beyond to help out and make sure we were comfortable. Def recommending Fred’s and its awesome general store upstairs has EVERYTHING you could need from snow boots, Mac n cheese to copying keys lol! Great experience:)

Have been there several times over the years. Fred’s is a great place to visit when you come to Beech Mt. Deli is good and reasonably priced. They sell pies, raisin bread and cinnamon rolls that are great.

Overpriced food. Lazy service. All the people working there seemed lazy or high. Was almost funny. Go down the mountain to that deli near Lees McRae instead.
