Serving HIGHLANDS Since 1999

Named in the spirit of owner Debbie Grossman's grandparents, Fresser is a Yiddish word for big eater or one 

who eats copiously and without restraint.


Debbie's grandparents spoke Yiddish when they didn't want the kids to understand what they were saying.  Fresser was one of "those" Yiddish words and, as a tip of her hat to her beloved grandparents,  has been part of her business name from the beginning. 

"The Village Green has been pleased to have Fressers Courtyard Cafe and Catering serve their delicious food for our numerous large community events in Cashiers like the concert series Groovin On the Green and the annual Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival. Fressers Courtyard Cafe is also a preferred caterer for private events at The Village Green. The menus are varied and appeal to all appetites with everything from spicy gazpacho to yummy chicken salad to made-to-order burgers and fries. They are also creative with breakfast, lunch and dinner fare - always offering a good variety.  The food is fresh and delicious and the serving team attentive and cheerful to their customers.  The Fressers Courtyard Cafe team always demonstrates professionalism and is such a pleasure work with.  I look forward to continuing to work with Fressers in the future!"
