I stopped in on a Saturday morning, and saw that the special for the day was Steak and Eggs, which is my go to breakfast, and it was delightful. The diner itself is very cute and the staff was friendly. It was a little busy, but we were able to sit down pretty quickly.The steak was prepared just as I requested it and it was tender and they even did egg whites for me because I am not a fan of the yolk. It was fairly priced as well, so I will definitely be back.

Great spot....maybe the perfect diner I'm thinking. Good food, good service, clean bathrooms. Fred and his daughter manage a tight ship. We got to meet them both. Extensive menu. We chose breakfast and glad we did. Open 6-3 Friday to Monday.

We have eaten there twice the last week during or visit to Akron. If you like to consume bacon by the pound, Fred's is your place. The pancakes are great, and the prices cannot be beat. If you arrive before 9:00, the coffee is included in the price of the meal. otherwise, it is $1.00. Fred's is open Fri, Sat., Sun, and Mon. The place is small so you may have a bit of a wait. The service was great and the food is very good and reasonably priced. Don't let the appearance scare you away. This is an outstanding place for breakfast.

Bacon...awesome. Service was great. This is a joint that is open Monday, Sunday, Saturday, and Friday. Closes at 3 pm. Not too loud, but kinda loud. Cozy. Turn around is quick. Patrons waiting in line. I ordered one egg, hash browns, rye toast, bacon.. Every thing was perfect. Liver and onions was the special. Many orders from the customers. I LOVE liver and onions, however the onions appeared more raw than I like. So passed. My friend I ate with, said the meatloaf special is gone in 15 minutes! Didn't t,ry, wasn't the special. When it is a feature, you couldn't order until exactly 11 am. But it must be so tasty that it sells out within minutes.

Always a favorite whenever I return to Akron. An old school dinner with friendly staff and simple food. Well made and priced reasonably, I can see why it remains popular after all these years.Definitely not a dealbreaker for all that they offer and do well but they do not have grits on the menu.

We love Fred's! It's the best diner we've found yet here in Ohio! The mushroom Swiss burger is amazing, their bacon and pancakes are delicious and so is the chicken dumpling soup! We also LOVE their onion rings! Very friendly staff, excellent food.

Very unassuming from the road but don't drive by! You'll step back in time a bit complete with a rotary landline on the counter that was continually in use with to go orders. Small busy place but if you have to wait it's well worth it. The servers were incredibly nice and the food was outstanding and very large portions. I love a good breakfast and this delivered beyond my expectations! Can't wait to go back!
