Freddy’s publishes nutrition information for its full menu, and this guide works from that data — calories, protein and sodium for every steakburger, sandwich, side and custard, cross-checked against the chain’s nutrition tables as republished in full-macro form. The headline numbers: a Single Steakburger with cheese is 460 calories and 28 grams of protein, a Triple is 1,000 calories and 76 grams of protein, and a Large Cheese Curds carries 3,260mg of sodium — more than a full day’s reference value on its own. Where the chain’s figures and trackers disagree, both are shown.
About the numbers: calories, protein and sodium below come from Freddy’s own published nutrition information. Sodium and sugar figures are included wherever the chain publishes them; a “–” means the chain’s data does not list that value for that item, not that it is zero. Sizes matter more here than at most chains: a Regular Concrete and a Large Concrete can differ by 400 calories, and a Regular Fries and a Large Fries differ by 120. “With cheese” is the default build unless noted — a Double without cheese is 570 calories, not 730.
Steakburger Nutrition
The steakburger range runs from a Single at 460 calories to a Triple at 1,000, and protein scales with the patties — 28 grams for a Single, 52 for a Double, 76 for a Triple. Sodium is the number to watch: a Bacon & Cheese Double carries 2,120mg, a Triple 2,130mg, and even a Single carries 1,280mg. The California Style Double is the outlier worth knowing about — 770 calories but only 1,170mg of sodium, because the mayonnaise build replaces the saltier mustard, pickle and onion build. The Veggie Burger is the lightest burger at 440 calories with cheese.
| Steakburger | Calories | Protein | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Steakburger (with cheese) | 460 | 28g | 1,280mg |
| Original Double (with cheese) | 730 | 52g | 1,700mg |
| Triple Steakburger (with cheese) | 1,000 | 76g | 2,130mg |
| Bacon & Cheese Double | 790 | 57g | 2,120mg |
| Bacon & Cheese Single | 520 | 33g | 1,690mg |
| California Style Double (with cheese) | 770 | 53g | 1,170mg |
| Original Patty Melt, Double | 760 | 55g | 1,260mg |
| Jalapeño Pepper Jack Double | 790 | 49g | – |
| Veggie Burger (with cheese) | 440 | 23g | 920mg |
Tracker disagreements, stated plainly: one tracker lists the Bacon & Cheese Double at 750 calories and another at 850; the chain’s figure is 790. The Grilled Cheese Steakburger is the most disputed item on the menu — 690 calories in one tracker, 1,050 in another — and the Prime Rib Steakburger (720) and Smoky Bacon Cheddar Stack (850) carry tracker-only figures. All three are covered in the Freddy’s menu guide with the ranges shown.
Chicken, Hot Dogs & Tenders Nutrition
The grilled chicken is the protein bargain on the menu: a Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich is 300 calories with 28 grams of protein and only 520mg of sodium, the lowest sodium of any sandwich. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich is the conflict item — 380 calories and 22 grams of protein in the chain’s data, 570 calories in a widely used tracker — and the range is shown rather than smoothed. The hot dogs run 390–550 calories, and the 3-piece tenders at 420 calories carry 35 grams of protein, which makes them the most protein-efficient fried item on the menu.
| Item | Calories | Protein | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spicy Chicken Sandwich | 380–570 | 22g | 1,620mg |
| Crispy Chicken Sandwich | 460 | 25g | 1,470mg |
| Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich | 300 | 28g | 520mg |
| Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich | 720 | – | – |
| Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich | 530 | 35g | 1,410mg |
| 3-Piece Chicken Tenders | 420 | 35g | 1,310mg |
| 5-Piece Chicken Tenders | 690 | – | – |
| All-Beef Hot Dog | 390–420 | 14g | 900mg |
| Chili Cheese Dog | 540–550 | 29g | 1,480mg |
| Chicago Style Hot Dog | 430 | 14g | 1,620mg |
Sides & Bowls Nutrition
Sides are where the sodium hides. A Large Cheese Curds is 1,220 calories with 58 grams of protein and 3,260mg of sodium — the highest sodium figure on the entire menu — while a Regular is 520 calories. Fries run 400 for a Regular and 520 for a Large, and the Onion Rings range of 380–600 reflects a real disagreement between the chain’s data and trackers on serving size. The bowls are the lightest way to eat the same proteins: a Grilled Chicken Bowl is 420 calories with no bun, and a Veggie Burger Bowl is 370.
| Side or Bowl | Calories | Protein | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freddy’s Fries, Regular | 400 | 7g | 260mg |
| Freddy’s Fries, Large | 520 | 7g | 660mg |
| Cheese Curds, Regular | 520 | – | – |
| Cheese Curds, Large | 1,220 | 58g | 3,260mg |
| Onion Rings | 380–600 | 6g | 910mg |
| Chili Cheese Fries | 690 | 23g | 1,320mg |
| Cheese Fries, Large | 870 | 12g | 1,230mg |
| Tots | 560 | – | – |
| Steakburger Bowl | 660 | – | – |
| Grilled Chicken Bowl | 420 | – | – |
Custard & Drinks Nutrition
Custard is the calorie heavyweight on this menu, and size is everything: a Mini Hot Fudge Sundae is 480 calories, a Regular Turtle Sundae is 1,090, and a Regular Turtle Shake is 1,310 — more than a Triple Steakburger. The Large Turtle Shake at 2,050 calories is the highest-calorie item Freddy’s publishes. The lightest dessert is a plain Dish with no toppings at 330 calories, and the lightest drink is a Strawberry Sunset Tea at 90 calories. A medium Pepsi is 260 calories, which is more than the fries it sits next to in a combo.
| Custard or Drink | Calories | Protein | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signature Turtle Sundae, Regular | 1,090 | 16g | 410mg |
| Signature Turtle Concrete, Regular | 1,140 | 16g | 450mg |
| Dirt ‘N Worms Concrete, Regular | 930 | 17g | 330mg |
| Dirt ‘N Worms Sundae, Regular | 900 | 16g | 320mg |
| Chocolate Brownie Delight Concrete, Regular | 1,140 | 20g | 460mg |
| PBC&B Concrete, Mini | 690 | 12g | 270mg |
| Hot Fudge Sundae, Mini | 480 | 7g | 190mg |
| Create Your Own Concrete, Regular | 600 | – | – |
Shakes deserve their own warning: a Regular Signature Turtle Shake is 1,310 calories and a Large is 2,050, and a Regular Cold Brew Caramel Crunch Shake is 1,180 with a Large at 1,810. If you want custard without the blowout, order a Mini — the Mini PBC&B Concrete at 690 calories is the best flavor-to-calorie ratio on the dessert menu.
Highest Protein, Lowest Calorie, Highest Sodium
Highest protein: the Triple Steakburger at 76 grams, followed by the Bacon & Cheese Double at 57 and the Original Double at 52. The best protein-per-calorie is the Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich — 28 grams for 300 calories — and the 3-piece tenders at 35 grams for 420 calories. Lowest calorie: a Strawberry Sunset Tea at 90 calories, Applesauce at 50, and the Veggie Burger Bowl at 370 as the lightest item with a price. Highest sodium: Large Cheese Curds at 3,260mg, the Triple Steakburger at 2,130mg, the Bacon & Cheese Double at 2,120mg, and the Chicago Style Hot Dog at 1,620mg. The daily reference value for sodium is 2,300mg — a Triple with a Large Cheese Curds clears it twice over.
Allergens
Freddy’s publishes allergen information for its menu: steakburgers, grilled chicken, hot dogs and veggie burgers are cooked on the same grill, and fried foods share highly refined soybean oil. The allergens the chain lists are peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, milk, eggs, fish and sesame. We do not republish a full allergen table here — formulations change without notice and a stale copy is worse than none — so check Freddy’s own allergen and nutrition data before ordering, and tell the staff about your allergy at the counter.
How to Eat Lighter at Freddy’s
Five moves cut the meal without killing it. First, order a bowl: the Grilled Chicken Bowl is 420 calories against 530 for the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich. Second, ask for a lettuce wrap — it is free, and it cuts about 180 calories from a Double. Third, drop the cheese: a Double without cheese is 570 calories against 730 with cheese. Fourth, order a Mini concrete instead of a Regular — the Mini PBC&B is 690 calories against 1,140 for a Regular Turtle Concrete. Fifth, drink a tea instead of a shake: a Strawberry Sunset Tea is 90 calories against 1,310 for a Regular Turtle Shake. And if you are comparing chains, the Culver’s nutrition guide and the Shake Shack menu are the closest comparisons — Culver’s ButterBurger and Freddy’s steakburger are the same smashed-patty idea, and the numbers are close.
