Experience Through Their Eyes

Even better the next day! We had great service from Jenny, she really took care of us and had great recommendations. I tried one of the specials, the Mac & cheese bowl with the Burnt Ends and crispy onions. Just finished my 2nd half (huge portions) for lunch and it was even better today! Fried green tomatoes, pork belly (that blueberry BBQ sauce is legit!), burnt ends & brown butter banana cheesecake were all phenomenal. I wish I lived close, this would be a weekly spot for me.

Solid local diner. Many different hamburger styles/toppings. Burgers nicely cooked to order. Fries were hot and well seasoned. We ended up here while traveling past the town on I-90. Certainly worth the stop in my opinion.

Fred's was a rare find! My husband and I were celebrating our 28th anniversary by going to Lake Chautauqua on the Steam driven Paddle boat The Chautauqua Belle (about 2 hours away from our home) On our way back we wanted to find a place for dinner..... that would be relaxing. We found Fred's and it was perfect! Our waitress was amazing and friendly, the food came out quickly and it was excellent!! We celebrated by having an apple crisp dessert that was beyond description! Well worth the trip no matter where you are. It's hidden away... so follow directions well and you will enjoy your self! Well done Fred's!

Went for wing night, sauces were fantastic. Drinks were cold and plantiful. Baretender was great and Savannah was an incredible waitress and put up with our shenanigans. Would absolutely go back.

We were just driving through on our way home to Colorado, and we stopped in at this hidden gem for a late lunch. We had an amazing server who was attentive and friendly, and we enjoyed our burger and tacos. Everything was perfect!
