I just finished one of the best "60's" style hamburgers I have had in a long while. I had the hamburger special for $9.50. It was a regular size hamburger, bigger than I thought it would be, fries, a drink and a sundae. It was plenty of food and I thought a good value. The service was excellent. The building reminded us of our old high school hangout in the 60s. Overall, it was a very nice experience. CAUTION: they only accept real money. No credit or debit cards. PS. They have bee in business for over 60 years, so they must be doing something right. read more

The staff was fantastic and the ice cream was decent. However, the actual quality of the food is on par or well below that of very basic gas station food. Any mainline fast food chain would have 10x better quality of food. Freezer burned "chicken strips" for the kids and stay away from the Mex Platter. As a side note, they only take cash. read more

Great stop on a Sunday night when nothing else is open. Get the cheeseburger. Didn't have time to try a shake but they looked good too. read more

Ok I'm giving Fred's 4 stars. And all we had was some onion rings and malts. I simply can't pass up places like this on my road trips even when I'm not hungry. But 4 stars seems really high for such little sampling. I will explain. Of all these little home town diners/cafes/burger joints I've ever been to Fred's is THE CLEANEST one I've ever been in. Yeah it's dated, and nothing much is new in there, but there is no greasy grime feel, no layers of history (the bad kind), no concern that things look "dirty". The place was spotless. And it's not as if there weren't people in there. Secondly, the service was fairly fast and the price was right. As in pretty cheap. As for the little bit of food we got, the onion rings we're sooooo good and the malts actually tasted like malts. Next time I'm anywhere near Freds, I will be making the trip in to try a burger and fixing. read more

Not very clean and tacos were swimming in fat. I had the cheeseburger which was ok. Cash or check only

Would have been three stars for the VERY standard burger and fries but we had to wait 30 minutes for food. Staff girls were chatting in front and I had to go ask to them to find out about the food. Overall, don't get off the highway for this. Leave it for the locals. They are trading on their reputation and relationships, not the food. read more

The food was good, the prices were good, the place was clean, and I've rarely been more comfortable. This is not an upscale place, but it is a place you can and should visit regularly. read more

Great customer service and the food is great! Definitely a great place to stop when traveling thru. We call when we are about 20 minutes out and our food is hot and ready for us. The burgers are fat and juicy and their steak fingers are perfection. read more

Stopped at Fred's on a road trip on a Sunday. Not much open on Sundays in Vernon and Fred's was a welcome surprise. Burgers are excellent and; although it's small and dated, very clean and excellent food with friendly service. read more

I love places like Fred's it's still there for a reason ! I'm disappointed I haven't found it sooner . There ( Cheeseburgers ) and ( onion rings ) are the best I've had in a few year's . The ( Tacos ) are Great extremely crunchy and the taco meat has Mama's taste to it . The Malts and shakes are awesome ; they actually know to put malt powder in the Malts !!! I drive 40 miles one way just to eat there . I usually go to United Supermarket there in Vernon also to get Meat and other staples . But back to Freds it's by Far the Best I've had in a long time . It will take you back to the Fifties . Thank you Fred's for hanging in there just for Me Tracy Newman : Frederick Oklahoma read more

It's no wonder Fred's has been serving big, fat, juicy burgers for near 50 years...cause they are so, so good! If you make it to Vernon, Texas...after visiting the super-cool art-deco-style movie theater downtown, you'll definitely want to grab a cheeseburger from Fred's Corner Grille. So juicy and so good! read more

Looking for lunch in Vernon. Liked other reviews. Basic grilled items. Excellent grilled cheese and burgers. Service with a smile. Clean basic decor. We will return. Has been here since April 1961! read more

Very good old fashion hamburger. We always stop in Vernon to eat on our way back from the Texas Panhandle and this is the best place we have found. Prices are reasonable and the food is good. If you are coming through on Sunday they get very busy when church lets out. Will definitely be eating here again. read more

We stopped here while traveling through towards Amarillo. Really good, basic diner food! We got the chicken strip basket, grilled cheese, cheeseburger and tater tots. The chicken strip basket comes with big fat crinkle cut fries, toast, a generous serving of chicken strips and gravy! It was very tasty and the gravy was thick and peppery. My husband loved his grilled cheese and said its the best he's had in a long time! The cheeseburger was awesome! It was not very thick but still stayed juicy and the toppings were fresh! Definetely recommend stopping here! Just remember to bring cash as its cash only! read more

Fred's Corner Grille - Signage for Fred's Corner Grille in Vernon Texas. - Burgers Near Me - Vernon, Texas

A detour off Hwy 287 well worth taking. For $22.51, we got 3 medium drinks, 2 chili cheese burritos, 1 chili cheese pie and an order of the best onion rings I've had in a LONG time. This place reminds me of the little drive-in/diner I grew up with in NW Oklahoma. Brought on a wave of nostalgia for the good ole days read more

Excellent food and service. We stopped for lunch in our route from Fort Worth to Amarillo. Everything was cooked at the moment. We ordered burgers, chicken sandwich, chicken basket, fries, onion rings, nachos with cheese, milk shakes and sundaes. We don't have any complaint about the food. read more

Traveling through, and this place was awesome !!!!! The man who took our order was very nice and the service was fantastic. It's not a commercial burger joint but I bet it's one of the better ones you have had ! read more

Average burger, I got the double. Fried fish dinner for my wife was ok, nice and thick and hot but nothing special. Fries were thick crinkle cut and hot. Atmosphere was nice, lots of old timers having their coffee and afternoon discussions. The food was cooked and served without much wait, better than most places. Nice place, I'd recommend it but don't expect great. read more

From out of town. First time here. Glad we chose Fred's. Friendly, clean...great food! Will return for sure! read more

South off Main Street in Vernon, Fred's is the classic hamburger place with a blast from the past feel. If you are missing your old Dairy Queen days and the hometown fresh cooked foods you grew up with then go to Fred's! They have been in the same location for, well I'm over 40 so longer than I've been alive. Great freshly made when you order delicious foods! Even if all you want is a little ice cream this is the place! They even have a walk up window, how more nostalgic can you get!! Clean, well managed, family owned and run. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Great old fashioned place, did I just step back in time to 1950? Loved the customer with tall teased cotton candy hair just come from church. Food was fine. Nothing memorable, but definitely better than McDonalds. Feels like a local place not a tourist place, since you have to drive a couple miles off the highway to get there. Worth the drive to not eat at a chain. read more

Service was good, food was ok. Place was somewhat clean. My kids really likes their kids meals...for $4.99 they got chicken tenders, fries, drink, and an ice cream cone. I had a cheeseburger meal which came with a sundae. All 3 of us are for $19. Only downfall was they only take cash or checks....I haven't wrote a check since 1927....so I had to stop by ATM prior to eating there. read more

Fred's Corner Grille - a red truck parked in front of the restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Vernon, Texas

This used to be a Dairy Queen. They have a similar menu but the food tasted a lot better than Dairy Queen. My husband had the steak sandwich (chicken fried) and said it was delicious. I had a steak finger basket. Everything was hot and fresh. I had a small blend ( like a blizzard) and my husband had a dipped cone. We were glad we stopped by on our road trip. Will return. read more

Let's be honest here...there really isn't all that much to eat in Vernon that isn't fast food & take out but after years of coming here for business & actually having to stay in town which doesn't happen very often, I took to yelp to see what was around besides the generics. I love looking for local places that I can't get at home or every other city in the state & came across Fred's. The person I was with feels the same way about locals so we checked it out. Granted in the day it actually Was a Dairy Queen & still holds that look inside with its own decor. Don't be fooled by the outside because what you get on the inside is what you're there for. The chili cheeseburger was said to be really good as was the steak fingers I had. It still feels like a Dairy Queen yet a more homey feel to me. Plenty of people came in enjoying the food. Would definitely come back again. Food may come out a little slower as it is made when you order so it's fresh & hot. Worth going to in a town that doesn't have much. 4 stars because the food while good is still basic. read more

On our trip back from Colorado, my husband wanted to eat a good hamburger for lunch. After reading the reviews on Yelp, we decided to eat here. Great choice. The burgers were delicious, and the corn dogs my son had were fresh. The burger deal included a sundae that was good, too. The price was excellent, at under $17 for 3 people. We will be stopping here again. read more
