    Diner Dog and Butter Kid's Pasta
    Ashley M.

    It was a classic diner experience - a very extensive menu with decent tasting food. It was open very late on a weekday which is perfect because my starving pig boyfriend gets hungry late at night. For the value and taste, you're honestly better off getting a Costco hot dog and making your own butter pasta because this pasta was overcooked and the pasta shape they used was odd. I'd come back to give the milkshakes a try and maybe focus more on the breakfast menu. However, the service was remarkably slow to the point that we had to get up and walk to the other side to find a waiter to pay. The vibes did not disappoint though with the retro booths and low lit lighting :)

    Seasoned Curly Fries
    Jeannie L.

    Food: 5/5 ordered curly fries with ranch & an Oreo milkshake. Only bummer was the missing cherry. Fries were well-seasoned & great texture! Food came out very quickly & I was happy with the portion sizes. The menu had a wide variety of options. Service: 1.5/5 while the food came out quickly, that was about the only good thing about the service. Server wasn't particularly warm & we had to follow up a couple times for requested items. We didn't even get utensils when we sat & had to wait to flag someone down a few minutes after our food arrived. Things were bussed quickly without being asked if we were finished. Kind of seemed like they just wanted to get rid of us. Ambiance: 4/5 cool atmosphere with comfortable booth seating. Lighting is a bit dim.

    Mac n' Cheese Balls

    Stopped by for a late night bite and it's what you would expect from a diner. The service was okay and the food was good. I liked the ambiance and there was a lot of seating options inside. I would probably come back if I was in the area because it was a nice spot to chill with friends and we played card games while eating our food.

    You really have to grade LA restaurants on a curve because the food, service, and value are consistently better than what I'm used to in the Bay Area. Fred 62 delivered on all of that. The old-school diner vibe was a nice touch, especially on a rare rainy LA morning. The food came out fast, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and on top of things. Solid portions, great value, and a comfortable atmosphere. Fred 62 is an easy five stars for me, and I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in town. BB

    3 pancakes with regular syrup
    Evin G.

    This place is great. I mean it's a dinner, it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. Went for pancakes and curly fries at 10pm and it definitely hit the spot. I will say, the prices are higher than I would expect. For 3 pancakes with absolutely nothing else and no sides it was already $14 or $15 dollars. Go for the late night diner vibes with friends and maybe a milkshake if you've got extra cash to burn.

    Fred62 has been my go-to destination for early morning and late night food in LA for more than a decade because there is something here for everyone from the vegans to the carnivores with some GF options. With such a wide variety of cuisines, it's not perhaps the best at any particular cuisine (e.g. you won't find the best ramen/pho here, but the noo deli does hit when in the mood). I mostly order a main dish as an excuse to have their milkshakes and bossa nova waffle sundae. Service is always fast and the diner vibes are cozy and strong. Plus, it's open late, which is definitely a plus. Please never change.

    Bacon Cheeseburger and Grilled Cheese
    Gerson C.

    Customer service and time from sit down to food delivery = 5 stars. Over all we had a pleasant and memorable experience. We sat outside facing Vermont with ample shading. The restaurant employees served us as a team where everyone asked if we needed something or brought out food/drinks/silverware etc. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. I ate the burger which was not greasy and they put good amount of bacon on burger. Not sure what kind of bun they use but it was different/good. My daughter had the grill cheese and they used some kind of thick bread (maybe sourdough) again, good. The small fries were ok/basic. I would try other kind of fries if they offer. Pricing felt on high end but probably due to the prime real estate location which gave us a beautiful view. Overall food was good and not greasy!!!!

    F62 Smash It Up Burger
    Grace M.

    The ambiance is a diner vibe. Open seating. We found seats right away and were served within 10 minutes. The food was just okay. We got burgers and a root beer float. I really liked the tots and fries though. Overall the food was overpriced for just being alright. Nice area. Difficult to park.

    I finally tried Fred 62 after driving by it so many times, and I'm glad I did. It's a cute little diner with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They're open well past midnight, which is always a plus. I loved the vibe--the car-style booths and the hip hop playing in the back gave it a fun, lively feel. Just a cool spot to end the night. Seated right away and greeted by a friendly + attentive waiter. The coffee was a bit mediocre and watered down, but the food portions were solid and priced fairly. We tried the chicken tenders, a salad, and the cheeseburger--everything was okay. Happy to finally cross this place off my list.

    Fred 62 is a classic spot with a blend of past and present. As cool as it gets in the city of Los Feliz. This longstanding Los Angeles restaurant located on the corner of Vermont Avenue/Russell Avenue, just a beat down from Franklin Avenue has a lot to offer and then some... Bringing you an extensive menu variety with cool ambiance, retro decor and a crew of servers, managers, cooks that will have you nostalgic for more. Stopped in with my boyfriend who actually recommended Fred's as a favorite of his and our friend Andrew after a nice morning stroll and hike. We got guided to a great booth toward the back with plenty of room for three. Our sever was the absolute best, believe he might be the main manager here (I'm bad with names after a five mile hike #hungrysaidfred). He was more attentive, friendly, funny, and above an beyond. I knew F62 had/has an extensive menu, but did not know they had this amazing plant-based menu (with clearly labeled items throughout for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free friendly options) as well nearly mirroring everything they make traditional and classic. It's comfort and quality food for all and I'm an instant fan! From Avocado or French Toasts to Falafel Plates, Chilaquiles, Burritos, Burgers, Bowls and more... You'll absolutely be hooked. Fresh hot delicious coffee, juices, teas, sodas, milkshakes (including dairy-free), beer, wine, still and sparkling water. A place that feels like that homey timeless diner with modern flare. Fun things to note: Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 2pm to 7pm. Street metered parking or lot paid parking. Gender neutral restrooms (clean as can be). Outdoor seating available. Military Discounts. Pup friendly. Gift cards and Fred 62 merch available for purchase (pickup/in-person or online). Open all seven days of the week from as early as 7:30AM (Sundays at 8am) until as late a 3AM (Thursday, Friday and Saturday only) or 1AM (Sunday through Wednesday). Serving it up in L.A. for 28 years (nearly 30), cheers to 28/30 more.

    California Omelet
    B A.

    Maybe it's just because I have a strong emotional attachment to this place after years of coming here, but I really don't understand the negative reviews. The food is great, the service is fast and kind, and the vibes are immaculate. You won't be disappointed. I love the California Omelette or OG Fairfax High

    Maria B.

    Nice little retro dinner in the corner of Hollywood. The staff. Is very friendly and helpful our waiter suggested the burrito and my husband said it was the best breakfast burrito he's had. I ordered the steak and eggs it's was very delicious. Very nice restaurant, although the prices are not cheap for a breakfast spot. But on the bright side you leave with a full stomach.

    I have been coming to Fred's for over the past 25 years and in that time they have never failed to deliver good food in a decent atmosphere, keep doing what you do.

The drip coffee was decent, not my favorite but got the job done and they were good about refills. The lox bagel was light, easy on the cream cheese, and had the toppings that make a lox just right. Our server was extremely attentive even through the busyness. My only qualm was the 20% large party charge on our bill despite us splitting our group, sitting on different tables, and getting two separate checks. There's also a 4% additional tax "Kitchen Appreciation" which caught us off guard. Gotta love LA. Loved the diner minus the uncalled for additional charges.

You can go to a run down old diner in any city, but this is the city of the stars. On this trip even though we were already heading to the establishment it must have been an extra slow day because someone was out on the boulevard trying to direct traffic to the restaurant. About 1/3 of the tables were full when we walked in, and it took a few minutes for us to be seen and seated. The wait staff is perhaps a bit understaffed to really be at their best. Our server did not explain much to us as far as the jukebox at our table, if we could use it and how... it would have been nice to know that. I ordered a Caesar salad and a coffee milkshake. When the server asked me if I wanted a small or large salad I asked what the difference in size was, since it wasn't explained on the menu to which they just kind of shrugged at me. Regardless of the perhaps lackluster service I really loved my food, the true, lived in vintage aesthetic and overall experience. Is 10.25 perhaps a bit expensive for a milkshake, i'd say so....but considering the overpriced reality of any trip to Hollywood I think it's something I would not regret spending my money on.
