Overview

Freddy & Hicks is a small, female-run comfort food restaurant in Shawlands, run by owner Anna Robertson. It is known for handmade smash burgers made with grass-fed Scottish beef from Cranstons, veggie patties from a secret family recipe, and loaded fries, mac & cheese, homemade cakes, sundaes and milkshakes. It began in 2015 as a veggie and vegan street food stall, then ran a spot on Nithsdale Road and a residency at the century-old Langside Cafe on Langside Place. In February 2026 it moved into its own shop at 158 Kilmarnock Road, a former Liquor Land unit. It has a handful of tables plus takeaway and local delivery, and it is BYOB.

Ok burgers. I had the Hawaiian burger but it lacked any kind of zing despite the pineapple salsa. The burger patty was dry. I asked for hot sauce. But they only had sirarcha which wouldn’t work well with it. The rosemary salted fries were really good. But we also got the sweet potato ones which were not seasoned - so not as nice. Service was meh. Not impolite or rude. But not friendly, especially for a local family run place. Asking about the place seemed to be an imposition on the owner. Asking for salt for the unseasoned fries also led to dismissive remarks. Whatever. There are lots of other places where the food is better and the staff (not just the owners) are friendlier. If the burgers were better, if they had decent sauces, if the searing was a bit more comfortable, and the owner had less attitude, I’d consider going back. I now understand why on a Saturday night we could just walk in. (Weird pics due to lighting)

Had an amaaaazing burger and fries here. Had been out the night before and some good food was very much needed. We called and asked if we could collect, the food was ready in 15 minutes and the person we were served by was so sweet and lovely. The chilli cheese burger and rosemary fries were so so good!! Perfect mix of greasy, salty, cheesy but also didn't feel unhealthy. Felt like really good real food, cooked to perfection:) support this local business!!

Visited before a Scotland game recently, food quality and service were unbelievable. Went for the house burger/Hawaiian with cheese and chips. Portions are huge and quality is unbelievably good.

We popped in for takeaway burgers and chips, and they were delicious! Decent portion sizes and great quality, very tasty burgers - we loved the hot chick chicken burgers. The guy serving was so lovely and friendly too. Thank you!
