    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    A fine diner that is open late. It's close to the Los Feliz theatre and is perfect for post-movie burgers plus shakes.

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. Even though I can see why someone would rate this spot a 3, I simply cannot let my own rating fall below a 5 because I know the next time I'm in town it will be looming in my mind as the ideal place to feed my belly and nostalgic heart.

Now,…read moreit's not the absolutely most spectacular meal I've ever had, but considering how much of a tourist trap it is and how small the crowd was for dinner on a Friday evening, it was pretty darn good stuff. Our server was Juno and she was one of the best waitresses around! Sweet, attentive, super friendly, and her smile couldn't be beat! I ordered the short rib grilled cheese with a side of twisty fries or curly fries, and a Grants milkshake.. The food is definitely expensive the sandwich alone was something like $25 for the sandwich plus $2 for the fries being "upgraded" to curly fries. The shake was $11. For the size of the sandwich, $25 is steep. But you do get a big pile of fries for the upgrade price. The sandwich was toasted well and crispy on both sides, the short rib was tender a tad dry but great flavor, and there was a good amount of cheese! I think it sat for a while because the cheese had congealed so the timing was a slight issue but didn't ruin the sandwich. The fries on the other hand were a big miss. They were SO salty and pretty dry, like my mouth was parched for water every time I ate a curly fry. I don't know what happened there but the $2 was a waste. Now back to the good - the shake was amazing. For $11 they give you a full glass plus the extra in the metal cup. It was so well balanced between the nutella and banana flavors without being overly rich or sweet. It was thick too and had really great consistency. Sadly the sandwich filled me up so I couldn't finish the shake but I would definitely return for a milkshake in the future! Overall, a solid experience and I was pleasantly surprised, and I'd be happy to return if I was in the area!

Their motto is: "If it's not good enough to serve to mom, it's not good enough to serve to you." The wait staff are friendly and smile every time they refill your coffee from the classic glass coffee pot. The décor is retro with orange vinyl-upholstered booths, counter seating, and terrazzo floors. The menu is extensive, offering something for everyone. The portions are large and prices are reasonable. My girlfriend and I would frequently come here to grub after a night of clubbing. Now, I'll stop by on occasion after a tasting at Silver Lake Wine. My favorite thing to order is the Chinese Chicken Salad without the chicken. The house made dressing is so good. I also love the thick steak fries, hand cut onion rings, French fried zucchini spears, and handmade pies with the perfect flaky crust.
