Co-founded in 2002 by brothers Bill and Randy Simon, and their friend and business partner, Scott Redler, the three men named the restaurant after Bill and Randy’s father, Freddy Simon, a World War II veteran.

Today, Freddy’s restaurants from coast-to-coast serve a menu reminiscent of the all-American meals Freddy prepared for his family.



About Freddy

Freddy grew up on a farm near Colwich, Kan., and signed up for the infantry in the U.S. Army at the first opportunity. After years of fighting in places around the Pacific Rim during World War II, Freddy earned the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star for his service and returned home safely. Following World War II, he worked hard for 56 years while raising his family. Freddy participated in Veterans groups and World War II memorial events across the United States before his passing in 2020. Freddy believed he was
“the luckiest man in the world.”
