Fred's Diner is a sparkling diamond of a place that so many locals I mentioned it to were still…read moreunaware of. That's mostly due to location. It's less than a 10 minute drive from downtown Akron but it's off the beaten path. All locals (except me) in here. When I went (10AM Friday) the place was almost full, and I was dining alone, so I sat at the counter, happily next to the kitchen. To look at the kitchen was like looking inside a bee hive, bustling with activity but barely a sound. I could just make out what was being calmly stated "2 Silver Dollar, Salmon, Country Fried, 2 Over Easy..." It was fun to watch, but what was important was the output. It took just over 6 minutes from the time I order until it was sitting in front of me, and everything was perfect! The waitresses were so efficient. I saw my order hit the window and in about 12 seconds it was delivered. They were so customer focused, they were (jokingly) fighting over refilling my tea. When I was done and paid for I waited outside for Uber to pick me up (3 min). I looked back on what I'd just experienced, and snapped a picture of the two parking lots of cars for Fred's Diner. I counted and there were 32 cars at Fred's. OK maybe 10 were staff so 22 cars for customers, let's say on average there were 2 customers per car (remember I walked here so no car for me). By my calculation, Fred's was feeding 44 people every 30 minutes or so. No wonder they're only open 4 days a week and only for breakfast - lunch. I calculate they might serve 3200 meals in those 4 days, and then take 3 days off to get ready for the next week. I love this place. Wish I lived here so I could come more often.

I was really hoping this would be one of those hidden gems of a diner, but unfortunately it wasn't…read more Let's just say it wasn't an enchanting come-again experience. I ordered the steak (medium), eggs and hashbrowns. It came out fast, but a little too fast. The steak was more rare to medium rare and bled into the eggs and potatoes. Yuck. I had to flag down the server but she took it back and returned a few minutes later with the steak redone. Now it was too done. The potatoes were okay, but neither the eggs or the steak were seasoned at all. Since this was a pricey breakfast ($14) that I basically couldn't eat and I did t want to waste the food, I took it home in a box to make stew out of. A disappointing visit, but since I was taught to say something nice or not say anything, I will say their coffee was good. Maybe they were just having an off day, but since it wasn't that busy and a Sunday, I probably won't return. There are too many other small diners who excel at their food and service.

I ordered the waffle blimp but there was nothing extra or special about it. I even asked the server who just repeated what it came with from the menu. I was hoping for at least a fruit topping or the simplest garnish of whipped cream or something but nope, just a very thick regular waffle. I chose sausages as my meat side and they were skinny and burnt. BF got the biscuits and gravy and the gravy not only had no sausage, it was only thickened with flour so it was grey looking and pretty bland without the meat au jus. They didn't make their own jam or butter (some diners have whipped or flavored butter), or real maple syrup. Ingredients were cheaper and prices are higher here than expected. I did like the space and the building. Parking lot was really cramped but there was plenty of seating inside and it was nicely lit. We came at a normal brunch time on a Sunday and did not have to wait long at all!

Took a chance as we had never heard of it but the open 24 hours a day sign beckoned is in. What a surprise! A cute retro diner vibe. Something led me to order the gyro and it was phenomenal, not Greece level, but they griddled both the gyro meat and the pita so it was piping hot and then layered with cold tzatziki, lettuce, onion and tomato.... Sooo good. Fries were crispy, hot, and plentiful on everyone's plate. The kids chicken strip meal was unbelievably crispy and juicy and flavorful. Two burgers were ordered and both were loved. And even at the late hour service was friendly and attentive. The only thing keeping that 5th star is the whole place and all the condiments etc on the table need wiped down and the floors swept and mopped. I tried not to look too closely at anything as I enjoyed my delish dinner. But if you've never been you should try it!

Definitely diner decor. There were a decent number of people eating. Seemed to be a mix of Bfast and lunch meals being served. Also seemed like a lot of regulars because employees were spending time talking to certain tables. We got the roast beef open face with gravy and mashed potatoes, the patty melt with onion rings, and the BBQ burger with fries. The roast beef was bland. Needed more seasoning. The 2 burgers were well done. We both liked them medium rare. But we weren't asked how we like them cooked when we ordered. Onion rings were breaded and only got about 5. Fries were abundant and fresh cut. Much better than the onion rings. Overall the food was just average if not slightly below average. Prices were good. Parking plentiful. Service was not great. No one asked us if we wanted refills or to check on us. We had to ask for our check after we waited awhile. Probably not a repeat.
