Reviews for Fressers show a mixed picture: some dishes are praised for flavor and overall quality, while others are described as disappointing. The tuna on party sandwiches is noted as dry with a weird taste, and a single cabbage roll reportedly required a steak knife to cut and tasted like a meat pie, with a pool of orange water around it. A call to report issues with the sandwiches led to advice to request more mayonnaise. On the positive side, customer service is described as excellent.View restaurant profile
