Fred's Diner is a sparkling diamond of a place that so many locals I mentioned it to were still…read moreunaware of. That's mostly due to location. It's less than a 10 minute drive from downtown Akron but it's off the beaten path. All locals (except me) in here. When I went (10AM Friday) the place was almost full, and I was dining alone, so I sat at the counter, happily next to the kitchen. To look at the kitchen was like looking inside a bee hive, bustling with activity but barely a sound. I could just make out what was being calmly stated "2 Silver Dollar, Salmon, Country Fried, 2 Over Easy..." It was fun to watch, but what was important was the output. It took just over 6 minutes from the time I order until it was sitting in front of me, and everything was perfect! The waitresses were so efficient. I saw my order hit the window and in about 12 seconds it was delivered. They were so customer focused, they were (jokingly) fighting over refilling my tea. When I was done and paid for I waited outside for Uber to pick me up (3 min). I looked back on what I'd just experienced, and snapped a picture of the two parking lots of cars for Fred's Diner. I counted and there were 32 cars at Fred's. OK maybe 10 were staff so 22 cars for customers, let's say on average there were 2 customers per car (remember I walked here so no car for me). By my calculation, Fred's was feeding 44 people every 30 minutes or so. No wonder they're only open 4 days a week and only for breakfast - lunch. I calculate they might serve 3200 meals in those 4 days, and then take 3 days off to get ready for the next week. I love this place. Wish I lived here so I could come more often.

My daughter and I both had off today, so we decided to hit up Fred's for breakfast. I had a craving…read morefor steak and eggs and she went with the corned beef hash. Both plates were very good. I particularly appreciate that they use real potatoes for their hashbrowns, not the frozen/freeze dried crap most places serve up these days. The service was great, coffee was strong, and our bellies are fullllll.

The waitress was super nice. The food came out pretty fast. This is the type of diner that we have back in NYC and the food was very good! Simple and nothing flashy. For 2 people it was almost $30. A bit overpriced in my opinion. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars, if you are sitting in the booth, and someone is sitting on the other side, you can feel them through the chair. I wasn't able to lean back the whole time due to this, and every time the gentleman on the other side moved, I felt it, and it was uncomfortable.

I'll definitely continue going back! Tip: They get busy on the weekend, so just be prepared that you may need to wait.

Well my wife and I stopped into this cute little dinner in Bolivar, OHIO. Boy was this the best…read moredecision we had made in awhile. Cute little place with such warmth and friendliness. I had the Lemon Pepper Shrimp special and I loved every bite, also had green beans and Mac & cheese, great choice for sure. Beans were not over salty and the Mac & cheese was the best I have had in a while. Not overly cheesy as some are. My wife had the spaghetti with meatballs two large homemade type. She loved it and I was fortunate to finish it off. She also had a salad with freshly made ranch dressing. The she had the sugar free butter pecan ice cream which was to die for. The two waitresses are the bomb so very attentive and helpful always giving great suggestions. If you are near this town drive the extra distance to come here. Well worth the drive. They also take reservations on Thursday and Friday. Can you imagine that a dinner taking reservations. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED COMING HERE

We had a burger and a grilled cheese sandwich, each served with different types of fries--both done just right. The food was hot, flavorful, and comforting. Their pies and breakfast options are also worth the trip alone. Prices are very reasonable, and the portions won't leave you hungry. If you're in Grafton and looking for a no-frills, feel-good meal, this is the spot. A true small-town gem.
