Ray B.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chris C.

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.

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.

Suzy H.

Ordered Eggs Benedict, Burger & Fries, Shakes. Ham was gristly. Lukewarm on arrival. Not much flavor. Fast service. Personnel only checked 1 time if we needed anything. No refill offered on the Coke. Waitress was wearing a mask. Is that because she was ill and protecting others or was she protecting herself? Always makes me question that. Never saw her again until the final check. 1 person checked on us. Overpriced..... WAY overpriced and they wanted a 25% up to 50% tip hahahaha laughable!

I have known about and passed Fred 62 many times and tried it a few years ago, but had not been back since then. I was happy to visit again because it deserves to be in the great diners of LA list. LA is full of diners and not all of them are great, but Fred 62 definitely counts as one of the great ones. It's a traditional retro, 50s style diner, full of booths, tables, and counter seating. It's a time warp right when you walk inside, but in the good sort of way. Service was extremely fast and the hostess and our waitress were both very polite. You can tell this is the sort of location that gets a ton of regulars, but also, you will see a handful of tourists and visitors as well. They don't have a dedicated parking lot but there are two pay parking lots less than a quarter of a block away. They charge $1 an hour so it's really fair pricing. The only other option will be street parking. They have a very large menu filled with all the classic diner dishes. We both started off with a Caramel Cinnamon Latte and it was absolutely fantastic. Honestly, it was addicting and I would go back just for that. We also ordered an Onion Poppyseed bagel, which was yum, and the Poblano Cheddar Biscuit, which really hit the spot with the included maple butter. For my entrée, I chose the Eggs Benedict and it was very good. I will say that the eggs were runnier than I like them, but I should've specified that I want poached medium or something along those lines. Also the English muffin on the bottom was quite soggy so it was not my favorite Eggs Benedict that I've had in town although I did still enjoy it, but it makes me want to try other items next time I am there. It's a bit pricier than some of the other diners but not by much. Given its history in town and its reputation I would comfortably recommend to anyone looking for a solid diner breakfast or lunch option. read more

The location is great if you are headed to the Los feliz 3 or skylight. I love the no fuss vibe and seat your self atmosphere... The food is good , I have been here a couple of times: The BLTA with sweet potato fries (the upgrade is a buck if I recall correctly... the standard shoestring fries aren't the best... they get cold quickly and I think I am biased when it comes to sweet potatoes) was yummy, even as a leftover the next day. The sloppy Joe was meh... it wasn't an original that I had hoped for... The chicken soup was bland and the chicken was dry... The lil Fred fried chicken salad was good. Chicken was and crispy... I think I'll order the chick and waffle sliders next time because of how good the chicken was. The servers are attentive and circle back often, just in case you need something. read more

They were able to accommodate our group of eight last minute. They have an outside area that is dog friendly. They gave our dogs, water and treats! I got the sloppy Joe, and I loved it. The last time I had one was when I was in middle school I think? But this was on another level since there was peppers in it. So freaking good. I'm still thinking about it. Fries were ok but i would probably get tater tot's. Service is friendly. Food came out super fast. They are open late and even during July 4. I appreciated that they did separate checks without us even asking. Definitely going to come back! read more

We are not familiar with this area, but stumbled across this location after walking up from having dinner at the Dresden earlier in the evening. We opted to visit the next day for breakfast and it did not disappoint. We took a seat inside the cool old school diner vibes. Awesome music is playing. We opted to order the FredStone and the veggie omelet. We also ordered a Sunday bloody Sunday. The food was outstanding. The only issue we had was that the bloody Mary tasted spoiled and we sent it back. Service was fast and friendly. I'm not sure what was wrong with the bloody Mary. They did bring another one which we declined. We would definitely return in the future and recommend to others. The street parking all over. We also did get a single pancake, which was outstanding. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

I've enjoyed the food at Fred62, but our last visit left a sour taste. We came for brunch, paid the (already steep) bill, and headed out. Seconds later, our server rushed outside and asked my husband--right in front of our toddler--why we hadn't left a tip. The whole encounter felt like social pressure turned into public shaming. Tipping isn't mandatory; servers here are hourly employees, and$20 for a burrito plus no on‑site parking is pricey enough. I normally do tip when the value and convenience make sense, but chasing guests into the street for an "explanation" is unprofessional and, frankly, pathetic. I come because I like the food; that should be appreciated without a sidewalk interrogation. read more

The atmosphere of the diner was retro and fit the theme of the restaurant well. Staff was friendly, and service was super fast. Ticket times were less than 10 mins. As for the food, I ordered the New Amsterdam -- a breakfast sandwich that included 2 over-easy eggs, bacon, and hasbrowns between brioche buns. It included a side of their "f-bomb" sauce, which tasted like a mild salsa. Taste was fine. There wasn't really anything that could have gone wrong since it was more of a simple sandwich. $15 for a breakfast sandwich is a bit steep, especially since it didn't come with a side. If I were to come again, I'd order something else. read more

We visited LA for a long weekend trip and stopped by Fred 62 at the recommendation of our local friend. I love the old diner feel of the restaurant! We ordered the mac & cheese balls, brisket quesadillas, and waffle sliders. The mac & cheese balls were crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. The brisket quesadillas were great, but the waffle sliders were bomb! We also came back later that night for some shakes. The Oreo shake was creamy and they also gave us the extra portion of the shake! I shared one shake with my boyfriend and it was plenty for both of us! We also really enjoyed the hot cookie bomb. The chocolate chip cookie was thick and warm, which paired so well with the cold vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Yum! The service was always good and friendly! Highly recommend Fred 62! read more

Wonderful catch up brunch today with 3 of my friends. I haven't been here in prob a decade, and it's just as charming and delish as I remember. I couldn't decide so I got a slice of their marg pizza and the Thai Cobb freshwich! What a winning combo I must say, and was enough food for 2 meals!!!!! We also shared a side of Mac & cheese as a starter (SO cheesy like a few bites was enough lol but super good! The black pepper was a nice touch too). Our server was delightful and personable too. There's something for everyone here (basics to vegans) and is a great area for after meal strolling and boutique shopping.

The "Mediterranean plate" was cardboard pita, inedible hummus and babaganoush and unseasoned chicken. The burrito was so poorly wrapped I had to hold it together and it was tasteless. It set my guts roiling to boot. My kid's fries had a raisin in them and their water had specks in the ice. Stay away. read more

Our biggest complaint HAS to be the female waitress with short highlighted hair, we haven't learned her name but she is an older woman. Every time she'd come by to take our orders, something would come up, she'd say "be right back" and leave for 15 minutes before returning. She took our orders, gave us our food and NEVER came back to see if we needed anything or if everything was fine. We watched as she checked up on the other tables in her section and continued to ignore us as a whole! She took our plates without a word and made us pay. She just isn't very welcoming and clearly has an issue with giving good service. read more

The food here is great. Came in for breakfast and it wasn't too packed. It did take us awhile to get seated, get our order in, and get the check. It looked like only one person was doing all the tables. But over all everything was great. We ordered the Golden Waffle, Denver Omelet, and Fred's LA Burger. Hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time. read more

Located in Highland Park proper I was turned on to Goldburger because I drive by it on the way to…read morethe gym. As a burger fan, I wanted to give it shot and I finally found the time to. Parking: Street parking was super easy on a Sunday afternoon, I was able to pull up right in front and park on the street. There is a Super A across the street and ample parking around for free. Ambiance & Food: This reminds me of an old school burger stand. Those were the best burgers and this one did not stop that trend. As I walked up, we were warmly greeted and given a quick rundown of what which burger. They did have specials (I will get to that in a second) which we were intrigued, but for the sake of perspective, I ordered the Goldburger and both regular fries and curly fries with a bottle coke. The Goldburger is naturally a double, but my gymrat protein brain added that extra patty. They use a 70% to 30% mixture for their burger which makes the burger oh so decadent. The picture I took doesn't do it justice. The moment you bite into the burger the combination of burger juice, aioli, burnt skirt, all come together in such a harmonious fashion. It was remarkable. Though fries are not one of my strong points, both fries were crispy and I haven't had any other experience with Curly fries other than Jack in the Box, but these were so much better. I went ahead and dipped the fries in some homemade Aioli and dang, what a combo! Back to those specials, the current special is CHILI, I was intrigued so they gave me a small container of it to try. Man, if I wasn't watching my caloric intake, that would have been the move. It was rich and chunky and not to soggy which some always comes. Give it a try as they said it will be around for sometime. Other than burgers, they do have hot dogs as well. So worth trying both next time. To be perfectly honest, this brought back so much nostalgia for me, I used to go to school in the area and this brought a lot of those memories back. Tasty burgers and a must try for sure if your around! Cheers!

I ordered the signature Goldburger and decided to add pastrami! Look at that! It's sliced thin and comes across kind of like a mound of bacon, melts in your mouth along with the rest of the burger. Very interesting combination it comes highly recommended! We went with curly fries cuz we are from the Midwest and there are no Arby's out here lol but I opted to grab a side of their classic sauce, which ROCKS! It was so good I was pouring it on the last few bites of my burger. Do yourself a favor and get some classic sauce and pour that stuff right on your burger, you won't be disappointed! Check it out!!

We took prolly good 30mins in the line but once the first bite of their DH Burger hit, it felt totally worth the wait. The medium rare dry aged patty was so juicy that you could even see as you sliced through it. Cooked medium rare certainly nailed it. That sesame bun people have been raving about was indeed so good being crispy and buttery; and their housemade Amboy sauce was just succulent!

Well, LA is blessed with exceptional burgers and this one is in the conversation. DH: First, you pick the style of the burger. I got the DH, a hefty 10-ounce dry aged beef patty - medium rare. Next, you select the accompaniments. With the Amboy, there are caramelized onions, American cheese, sliced pickles, Amboy sauce, and a toasted sesame bun. The beef patty is thick and plump, extra crispy on the edge (maybe slightly too much so). It is a bit too salty on the outside, while needing a bit more seasoning inside. It's medium on the edges, but nice pink and juicy in the center. Also, 10 ounces is huge, you're probably better off with one of the smaller patties or going with a double. The fries are tin and really crispy. They're nice, get them.

Thankfully a tall brick wall, umbrella-toting picnic tables, and large sails give ample shade to their large lot. There are a few parking spots in the back if you're lucky, otherwise street parking should be easy to find. When enough people showed up to eat, it felt like a backyard kickback.

If you are wanting a better tasting burger with pretty much thr same ingredients, I would suggest The Shack in Playa Del Rey. The fries here got soggy because of how they put them in the bag. It's unfortunate that there is no where to sit and that's why the fries get soggy. Let's now talk about the process. They accidentally messed my order by missing fries. Not the end of the world but in order for them to correct their mistake, I had to take all the food they put in the bag and give it back to them. That means while I waited over 25 minutes for my order, I had to wait longer for them to see what's in the bag to see the mistake. Who is to say that if I was crooked, I would simply remove the fries from the bag. What this ultimately means is that now my family is eating colder food. I didn't even bother for the fries anymore since I didn't want to either have my food get colder or wait another 20 minutes for them to remake all the food. I simply wouldn't go back. I do hope they stay around because we are losing small business but the owners should really reconsider the policy for missing food.

Dear Wait Staff at Fred 62: I'm writing to express my deepest sympathy to you. Why? Because you are good people and you want to serve food to your customers and thus earn tips, but you are forced to work in tandem with the slowest cooks in the history of cuisine. I have friends who are fermenting three-month-peppers in their basements and some of their creations will see the light of day before some of your menu items. I've tried to make sense of how slow the cooks are -- I just waited fifteen minutes for a single pancake in a restaurant with only one other customer in it -- and these are the only hypotheses I've been able to come up with about those fellows in the back: 1) They're zombies. (This would actually explain a lot. It may be the simple answer.) 2) They are engaged in a number of resentful class wars with both the customers and you, the wait staff, wars they know they can never win. Their slowness is a form of complaint and protest. 3) They can't read. So every time an order is placed, they have to go through the shame of finding someone they don't work with, someone down the block, maybe, or in San Bernardino, to read them the ticket. Then they go back and really try their best, but the time is already lost. This is the saddest answer, and maybe the truest. I don't know. 4) Pancakes are harder to make than I think. (Probably not.) 5) Fred 62 exists in a vortex where time bends and stretches to infinite lengths. 6) The cooks are all escaped convicts who are worried that if they attract too much attention by doing their jobs well, they'll be captured and put away for life, again. 7) They are performance artists and this is an installation. 8) They are genuine devotees of the "slow food" movement, but they have deeply misunderstood the concept. 9) They think I killed their cat with my car and this is their revenge. (I didn't.) 10) Who the %^&^ knows? Anyway, I really feel for you, Wait Staff, because there are no other cooks looking for work, no good people out there who need jobs, so you have to struggle along with these mysterious geniuses/zombies/illiterates/pancake strugglers, disappointing everyone you come in contact with, through no fault of your own. God be with you in your good fight. It's not your fault. I'm with you. Love, An Ex-Customer at Fred 62 read more

MORE THAN ONCE we have found CHICKEN in our "vegetarian" lemongrass broth based "bang bang" noodle bowl. that's just not cool. 2. a friend of ours ordered a basic 2 eggs with hashbrowns and toast. when she received it, she said her eggs tasted really weird...like soap. so i took a bite and sure enough...she was eating soapy eggs. i think that someone must have put soap in the pan to wash it...but instead decided to cook eggs in it?!?!? ugh. so nasty. then, when she tried to return it, our server gave her a hard time for having had a few bites... he eventually did return it but only after we all chimed in that it was a ridiculous notion for him to expect her to not only keep and eat that food but to pay for it as well. what an asshole. 3. they do not wash their lettuce. sooo many times i have had "sandy" salads. you know....like when you go to the beach and get all set up and eat a sandwich... and there's inevitably a few grains of sand in your sandwich...but it's okay because you're at the beach? yeah.... not so cool when it's in your salad because the people who work here are too lazy to rinse the lettuce. i could go on and on but i will spare you. i know i kind of deserve the shit i get because i continue to patronize this establishment...but i will say this. i do NOT recommend Fred 62. no matter how late it is. go to ihop. read more

Let me start off by writing distribute by saying I am a lifelong silverlake president of over 30 years. I went to mission terrain elementary School King Middle School and John Marshall high. The way I was treated by the staff here last night was less than an animal gets treated in jail. I walked in around 11:16 I placed an order for brisket sandwich and I bought a beer at the bar as I waited for my food. Over 30 minutes past and I noticed a bag that has been sitting at the counter since 5 minutes of my arrival the service snatched up the bag and presented it to me I checked the temperature and I told her this was ice cold and I asked her why did she take over 30 minutes to present my food while I was standing there the whole time she smirked and laugh instead of I have a problem that I should go somewhere else. Being the only African-American and establishment at the time really leads me to believe that they do not cater to us and furthermore I really do believe I was discriminated against. I left a really good tip before the meal was even started so I know that the issue I would love for the manager or the owner of the establishment to personally get back to me on this matter or I really do believe that you don't like my kind and really don't serve us and you trained your staff to do so as well.After the response I got from the GM I'll be never visiting this place ever again.Like I said I've been in silver lake for over 30 years I watched places come and go and I'll be the first one laughing when I see a for rent sign on your door in about a years time. read more

There's nothing overly awesome about Fred 62. There. The truth has been said. Like with other diners I've experienced, they only prove their worth when everything else is closed after 10-11 at night... and then Fred 62 shines. Well, not really. Okay, so you get in and it's crowded. Good luck finding a seat, let alone a booth. It's suffocated with hipsters and scenesters and best of all, they're rude and competitive for previously-mentioned hard to find seats. And it's basically first-shove, first-serve because no one in this fucking establishment knows how to seat anyone. Outside it's a different story. It's cold, but there are seats a-plenty. So we sit down and then it's this constant worry, "Do they even know we're out here?" So I had to go in and tell them twice before we got service... and even then the guy in charge - who I assume was the manager because he was around his forties - rolled his eyes. Wow. Customer SERVIIIIICEEE! When we finally got our food, it was after a while. And then it got cold quick. But we were starving so we didn't care. It wasn't worth the money we paid though - taste wise. But the waitress was at least nice. If she had been negative in the slight, that would've been the cherry on top of a perfect fucking evening. She even sent my compliments to the chef for the soup I got (okay, yeah, it wasn't that great, but come on! I was starving!) Ehh, it might be an experience since the waitresses are dressed rather edgy and hot... like cosmetic school rejects or something - but I won't come back here ever again. read more

I love, love, LOVE Fred 62's--but only under certain conditions. I prefer to go at night with a small party (like, 2 people) and sit outside. When the weather's nice it gives you a lot more elbow room, allows smoking (if you're into that), and generally provides a bit more secluded restaurant experience. I will say this, the service is generally a bit slow & forgetful. Probably not a good place to eat for those of you that require constant server attention. I've tried multiple items off their menu but consistently find myself drawn to their breakfast foods. The Bearded Mr. Frenchy is nothing short of amazing, sometimes I'll add on an order of hashbrowns and their homemade sausage patty if I really got my groove on during the evening. I don't think you can go wrong with anything off their breakfast menu. Tried one of their milkshakes but I can't say I was a big fan. Something was just off about the milk to ice cream ratio. They have a nice hot tea selection, a welcome change from being offered crappy plain Lipton brand at most diners. Plus the bags are shaped like pyramids! I never knew my teabag would be the fanciest part of my meal. (There's a bad joke in there somewhere...) I'm seeing a lot of complaints about the parking but get real, this is Los Angeles and parking sucks just about everywhere. For a good set of pancakes at 2am, I'm sure you could use the exercise that extra couple of blocks will give you. read more

Absolutely the most poser-esque place in the area besides Millie's except Millie's is NOT TRYING TO BE COOL...they just are. Imagine, 6, yes 6 guys standing around in a corner, all Mexican guys doing nothing but yakking it up at the counter at the top of their lungs....one of which wearing a shirt provided by establishment that reads, "Lesbians Eat Out", the other guy has one that reads, "Rehab Is For Quitters", another, "Got Beer" and another, "Just The Tip". Yes, nifty I suppose....if you're not a Lesbian and you didn't go to rehab and ya don't mind their mindless pow wow in the corner that supersedes all other conversations....even the patrons. Slapping each other on the back, saying "F That Brother" and "Sh#t ya man...did you see what he was wearing? Hahahahaaa...". Paid $15 w/o tax or tip for some horrible Deli noodle soup shrimp thing that tasted like it was made in the back alley with a bunsen burner that you use while camping. Seriously, if u r a poser and like to show off your fancy new tattoo, spend your $ elsewhere that at least doesn't rape you with poor service, poor food, and subject you to 6 guys wearing classless shirts that, in some way, are trying to be "cool" and that love to have a good old weenie rub in the corner at the expense of diners trying to relax. Not cool, not hip, no good. Pose somewhere else BUT NOT AT FRED 62 on Hillhurst. read more

Whimpy Burger - the 6oz version of the Juicy Lucy....pretty freakin' good burger French Fries - eh...nothing special Hash Browns - possibly the best ever? So buttery yet crispy. Good thing I'm finally working out again. Mocha Milkshake - not too sweet or too thick...possibly perfect also? But damn......the service sucks. I'm learning 24 hour joints probably don't care about providing good service because they know your choices are limited. Our waitress had Tourette's. Forgot the Iced Tea twice and the Ranch once...walked by us and shouted "Iced Tea & Ranch". Had to wait 30 minutes where we were then squeezed into a booth made for 2. (They didn't tell us how long the wait would be and they made us wait outside. Thank goodness for the heaters outside.) By the end of our meal, I was quite tired & cranky knowing I was 30 minutes from home and needed to be at work in less than 6 hours. I apologize to the 3 wonderful people that had to put up with me that night. Thank you for being my friends. read more

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Fred62, and I couldn't be more impressed! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of character. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Alex was our waitress and she was INCREDIBLY NICE, ATTENTIVE, & on point with my order! Ask for her!! The food was absolutely outstanding--each dish was expertly prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. I highly recommend their signature dishes on the brunch menu, which blend unique ingredients in ways that you don't often find elsewhere. The portions were generous, and every bite was a delight. If you're in the area and looking for a memorable dining experience, Fred62 is a must-visit. I will definitely be returning and can confidently give it a five-star rating. Highly recommended! read more

Would I come back to this place ? absolutely NOT !!! Went to this restaurant for the first time this past father's day to have a nice time with a friend and it was a total disaster. I ordered on of their burger (can't recall the name) and it was tasteless ! We both also had the house lemonade and it was not a good choice, if I must say. They put tons of lettuce into my burger just to make it look big, my friend had one of their sandwiches & they put the tomato's cord, I mean who does that ! They waiter was nice enough to come and ask us who our food was and when we were going to start telling him about our issues with the food he just simply walked away. Thank you so much David ! Thought i was going to love the place so that i could go with my friends more often but that was not the case :( read more

Five words- Mac Daddy and Cheese Balls. Yummy yummy yummy. Who wouldn't like fried mac and cheese? Well that is just a small sample of the delicious things that Fred 62 has to offer. Delicious breakfast dishes, I personally love the Bearded Mr. Frenchy which is crunchy french toast. Great noodle bowls, sandwiches, salads and specialties. Their desserts are great, I have a thing for the apple punk tarts. This is one of my all time favorite late night dining restaurants in LA. The prices, while odd are actually pretty reasonable, the service is pretty good, and though there is often a wait for a table, they usually try their best to get you in ASAP. If you want some comfort food that thinks out of the box, come to Fred 62, you will be happily satisfied. read more

By far one of my favorite dessert diners that's open during twilight hours. Located near the Observatory this place is usually popping even at midnight hours. It is self seating and wait time can be a little strenuous during dinner hours, but worth it. The coolest area and favorite spot to sit is literally a hidden area (curtains and all) in the left front portion of the cafe. It is a private little corner where seating requires individuals to sit Indian style. The menu is overwhelming to look at so I'll give you some of my favorite dishes... I always get the Bossa Nova Waffle Sundae (5/5) when I'm there. I also like getting the Bearded Mr. Frenchy (4/5), the Poorest Boy Sandwich (4/5), Mac Daddy & Cheese (4.5/5), and the Thai Cobb Salad (4.5/5). read more

Dangerously tasty.....& I don't even like fried food or hipsters. It's a local hot-spot placed perfectly in the trendy Los Feliz neighborhood! One of the residents introduced me and I've been back 2-3 times since. It's a classic diner environment: be prepared to sit at a sticky table. I became a fan of the Ceasar CA salad on day 1. I still dream of the fried yucca croutons with the cotija cheese morsels. They combination had me "feeling some type of way........" I wouldn't say its a spot "fitness fanatics" or "dieters" go nuts for, but there are plenty of Vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian options. I definitely DO NOT eat at this place regularly, but I do love indulging in something unhealthy occasionally. Try it! read more

Not against those new 'happy' changes but guess, sometimes it's wiser to stick to your main guns. Fred 62 has slashed down its quality of food big time now... ah, from good to bad! I used to love hogging their meals at odd hours but some recent menu changes have spoiled the taste for me without a doubt. Fried mac and cheese balls so don't taste good now. Ah I don't really know if their chef's been swapped or their ingredients, but yeah the food doesn't taste appetizing any longer. So yeah, I am disappointed with Fred 62, like really disappointed. And of course (this one goes without saying), their waiting time. It kills whatever little bit is still remaining under the roof. Sigh, give it a miss! read more

I want to love this place.... Alice's Egg Sandwich is a good breakfast staple, and the Apple Punk Tart can be good depending on who makes it... The red velvet cake is not bad, either. I wanted so badly to like the Mac Daddy and Cheese Balls, but they seemed more like a grease bomb than deep fried mac and cheese. The breakfast foods like waffles etc taste sort of fake and preserved and generally lacking any freshness. Don't bother with this place on the weekends, unless you want to be treated rudely and told to stand outside until they have a table for you. It doesn't matter to them that it's raining, or if it's 100 degrees outside. The rest of the week, the service is decent. read more

I was kind of shocked to see all the good reviews for this place. The service was terrible, our waitress was very stuck up and rude, the food was overpriced, and the place was slamfull of hipsters and yuppies. The worst thing about it was the waitress. We left her a 5 dollar tip(trust me, not my idea) even though the service was awful. And she had the nerve to follow us outside and tell us that 5 dollars wasn't 15% and that we should tip her several dollars more. I have never in my life had a waitress demand a higher tip. I will never go to this snobinfested trendspot again. But if you are of the snooty, horn rhimmed glasses wearing, vegan hipster type, you'll love it. read more

come here for the aesthetic of the diner, leave because a racist, bewilderingly rude, (and balding) waiter's shift is ending.....? (haha which it wasn't, we stayed awhile to get directions and happened to see through the window that he was still working....of course) when i say this place is racist, i mean it's racist. they have a freaking fried chicken sandwich named 'poorest boy' for gods sake. and not a poc in sight when i walked in; i should've just turned around that second. so! don't waste your time. there are plenty of better diners open late in LA, like 101 coffee shop for example, with far better food (even if they served you cold dirt). read more

This is a great late night spot, there's plenty of stuff on the menu to choose from, so any of your cravings will be satisfied. I've been ordering the Juicy Lucy burger with a side of onion rings for years. It never disappoints! Best onion rings, hands down. Not even Mastro's in Beverly Hills can come close. Now that I live on the Westside I don't get over to Los Feliz that often, but when I do, I always stop at Fred 62. I hear their milkshakes are amazing. I always plan on ordering one, but after I eat my huge burger and onion rings, I'm too full. Very yummy. Will definitely seek this place out when in the neighborhood. read more

fred 62=3.5 stars. i give the food three stars. it was good but nothing too special. they have a good selection (sloppy joes to chicken waldorf to breakfast to ice cream shake to hot dogs to beer). I really liked their fredstone benedict which uses tomatoes instead of the english muffin and crumbled applewood bacon for the canadian bacon. yum. loved the sloppy joe, but who could really mess that up? i would add a half of a star for the fact that they serve breakfast 24/7. and they're open for 24 hours. and there's beer. a perfect for a quick stop at 11am, 6p, or 2am. read more

I just can't understand this place. Are the servers supposed to be rude as a gimmick or are they just rude? I do like the big menu. My sister and I ordered the nachos which were really tasty but there wasn't very many chips so we had to order more to eat all the toppings. I guess that's better than a ton of chips with nothing on it but seemed strange to us. The club was great and not your standard three layers of sourdough bread. I do like most of the food I've tried here. I could like this place more if the service wasn't as slow and if it felt a little cleaner. read more

I have been three times this week just to make sure this review was fair. First of all this place is nicely designed, wonderfully open 24 hours, decent music, good lighting, good vibe, tolerable food but over and over the service is just so slow and almost non-existent. The busboys are good but the waiters and waitresses just literally ignore you or are slow as to be maddening. It's just too bad there is not an owner or manager running this place efficiently and like a top, it could be great. It's not because of the wait staff, does anyone else agree? read more
