Food is always ready quickly and of consistent amazing quality and portions. Staff is super friendly and courteous. Not sure how this location ended up with such lower ratings than downtown but that has not been the experience for me or my friends. By far a Top favorite restaurant in JC.

We ate there Sunday for lunch. The service was good, quick and checked back several times. We have eaten at the "old" Frieberg's, first time at this one. We will be back.

I enjoyed the food, and was not completely put off by the limited menu. They offer a lunch solution during the weekdays, but not the weekends. Unfortunate sizes for my videos or Large and the price is equally large.

If you love Freiberg's but not the hustle of downtown, their second location is just for you! The food is amazing, parking close and plentiful, and wait staff incredibly friendly. They also themed the interior just like their downtown location, so it still feels like home. 10/10 and will be switching back and forth between the two!

Service was very good. Atmosphere was family oriented. Alas no German music. At this location, there is one small bar and 2 tvs. I had fried cauliflower and the chicken schnitzel with German potato salad. Food was yummy.

We visited Freiberg's Biergarten for their annual Oktoberfest. The cabbage rolls were amazing as always!
