Updated February 2025! If you’re craving a good old-fashioned burger, then Freddy’s could be your spot. It’s a chain that began in the Midwest and serves typical American fast casual fare. The Frozen Custard is out for dairy-free diners, but Freddy’s does make many Steakburgers, Sandwiches, and Sides without milk. We’ve compiled the options, with notes, into this milk-free quick guide.
Dairy-Free Menu Guide for Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers
Freddy’s Steakburgers are made with 100% premium beef and hand-crafted when you order. Their patties have thin, crispy edges and a thicker middle. This menu guide includes dairy-free menu options first, followed by custom order components. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.
Butter Note: According to the company, Freddy’s does not use dairy butter on their grill or buns as a policy. As always, individual locations can take liberties. Always check that they don’t use dairy butter on your order. Keep in mind, some might use a “butter” that doesn’t contain dairy. Verify ingredients with the staff.
Old Allergen Charts: Please note that there are old allergen charts for Freddy’s that are still indexing on Google and might come up in searches. We use the most current information possible, and verify concerns with the company. If you see conflicting information, please ensure it is current first.
Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: All of the items listed below are made without egg, gluten, nuts, peanuts, and soy, unless otherwise noted. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

- Hot Dog (contains gluten, soy)
Chicken & Fish
- Chicken Tenders (contains gluten)
- Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich (contains egg, gluten, soy)
Heads Up! The Chicken Tenders are made without milk (per new allergen information), but are cooked in a shared fryer with Freddy’s Onion Rings, which do contain milk (whey). The Crispy Chicken Sandwich Fillets now contain milk. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is served on Freddy’s buns, which have a potential cross-contamination warning for milk. You can order no bun or swap in different bread, if desired. You can also order any sandwich in a lettuce wrap. The Crispy Fish Fillet in the seasonal Crispy Fish Deluxe Sandwich does contain milk.
Sides
- Applesauce
- Chili Fries (no cheese) (contains soy)
- Freddy’s Fries
- Freddy’s Kettle Cooked Potato Chips (contains soy)
- Freddy’s Tots (seasonal)
Heads Up! The Fries and Tots are cooked in a shared fryer with Freddy’s Onion Rings, which do contain milk (whey).

Bread & Buns
- Hamburger Buns (see Heads Up below) (contains gluten, soy)
- Hot Dog Buns (contains gluten)
- Rye Bread (contains gluten, soy)
- Texas Toast (contains gluten, soy)
Heads Up! Freddy’s has waffled back and forth over the years with their buns. They were dairy-free, then we were told they contain dairy. And now they are listed as dairy-free again, but have a “contains an ingredient that was manufactured in a plant that uses that allergen” warning for milk (from the manufacturer, not the grill). Their other breads and buns do not have a potential cross-contamination warning, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still at risk.
Dessert (Toppings & Cones)
- Cake Cone (contains gluten)
- Waffle Cone (contains gluten, soy)
- Almonds

Heads Up! Although Freddy’s has all types of dairy-free toppings, they don’t have any dairy-free frozen custard flavors! Hopefully they will add a vegan frozen dessert option in the future! Their Chocolate Chips, Cookie Dough, Hot Fudge, Butterscotch Syrup, and Caramel Sauce do contain milk.
