    Breakfast sandwich yum

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    California Omelet

    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

    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.

    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!!!!

    Fred 62 walks a fine line between performative Los Feliz trendiness and a legit American diner -- with a dash of retro '70s funk thrown in for good measure. I came here for brunch with a few friends and honestly, the food delivered. We got the steak & eggs, avocado toast with salmon, and the shakshuka. The steak was relatively thin (rightfully so) but well-seasoned and satisfying -- especially paired with eggs and crispy hash. The toasts were solid. While the shakshuka leaned a bit too tomato-forward for my taste, it wasn't bad. We ordered about a total of five dishes for the table, and when I saw the bill, it was surprisingly low for the area -- especially considering you're in gentrified Los Feliz. Overall, Fred 62 is a vibe: a little chaotic, a little nostalgic, and definitely worth coming back to for brunch.

    The last time I dined here I wasn't all that impressed. It was cool a previous time, before that, when we had come for a collaboration with Tokidoki. I feel like the service is always lacking. We get seated. We get a menu. We sit for a very long time. We figure out what we wanna eat and just kind of stare off into space, looking around. Someone comes eventually. They will take our order and we get exactly what we ask for but somehow it feels like there should be something more. The biggest thing that we're usually missing is the service with a smile. I feel like people always just drop our food off and walk away. There isn't much interaction. The food is decent. It is not anything special. The prices are a bit elevated for what the food items are. I can't say that I'm a fan. It's a cute place but it's gotta be more than cute for to deserve my patronage.

    Brunch item!

    My family has been going here for years. So naturally a trip back to LA would require us to eat here for brunch. The server was super cool and spoke Spanish. The food was delicious and the drinks were good! I apologize for my upset yelp review! I spoke with Fred! I just won't use my Mastercard here again.

    Is this a decent place to study for a couple hours in the evening or is camping frowned upon?

    You're welcome to come and study for a couple of hours. It does get loud and rowdy as the night draws on, though, and we trust you to be respectful of our wish to seat customers who would like to dine. 🙂

It is one of those rare restaurants that gets everything right: exceptional food, gracious hospitality, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back. This was actually my third visit. I have been here twice with my husband, and this time I brought my daughter because I wanted her to experience one of my favorite Italian spots. The fact that I keep coming back and wanted to share it with my family says everything about how much I enjoy this restaurant. The staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. You can genuinely feel the care and passion they put into every aspect of the dining experience. The food was outstanding. We ordered the squash blossoms, anchovy crostini, and cheese platter, and every dish was excellent. The squash blossoms are an absolute must-order: perfectly crisp, not greasy, with an incredible cheese pull. The anchovy crostini was beautifully balanced and packed with flavor. Happy hour is also fantastic. I highly recommend the Orange Propaganda Spritz, which was refreshing and perfect for a summer afternoon. If you appreciate wine, you will also love their exceptionally robust wine list, one that easily rivals many fine dining restaurants. It was also nice seeing the owner again. He is such an incredibly kind and gracious man, and it is clear how much love and care he pours into this restaurant. I will absolutely be back. This place has earned its spot as one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Los Angeles.

    Okay, so I know I've driven by this place and went to an ice cream museum pop up back at the end of…read morethe covid fakedemic, but it really wasn't on my radar. Nice name, but when I see menus of any cuisine that go out of their way to offer vegan and gluten free versions of everything, it tends to put me off. I know that's an unfair prejudice, but I always assume it's more of a healthy food place for people who complain about regular food than a real tasty joint. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. Now that I've tried their fantastic pizza, my only sadness is that they are located in DTLA, where finding parking even to run in and pick up things to go is always difficult. So, we were here at first not for the food but because my teen son's death metal band, Institutionalized, was playing a show with the very popular super cool local metal band Diabology. But, hey, if you're there might as well grab something before you leave, right? So We got a cheese pie, which was excellent. Also tried a slice of their white pie, which was garlicky goodness. What really sold us, though, was the Sicilian pie we got. As born and bred New Yorker transplants who have been here a long time, we have never found a fantastic Sicilian. Good, sure, but never great. The pies are never thick enough as far as the breading. Here it was as close as we've ever got. And like the other pizza, the taste was excellent. And, as native New Yorkers, we know our pizza! Strongly recommended! Can't wait to get another Sicilian pie in the near future with some toppings.

    It took me over a year to come back here after they mistakenly gave me a regular pizza instead of…read morevegan. I finally went back and tried one of their vegan pastas I hadn't tried before, and there was meat in it (pancetta). I literally am feeling sick to my stomach--I'm pescatarian + non-dairy and stopped eating meat in 2013 so I'm sure you can imagine. The customer service was amazing and the cashier who helped me, Melissa, was so apologetic and sweet (obviously wasn't her fault), but this is just another warning to anyone who is vegan and considers coming here. I also came when they were about to close and already had to wait like 15min longer than they said so there's not even anything else open this late for me to find other food. Very disappointing and I will not be coming back for good this time. If I could give separate stars for customer service, I would give them 5 stars but this was unacceptable on the cook's part. Do not risk it if you are vegan.
