Freds Diner - Akron

First time here and if we hadn’t known about it would have drove by. Very old time diner, still using rotary phone! Great food, large portions, good prices and great service!! Will definitely be back.

I chose here for breakfast as they were the only place who served steak and home fires so early in the am. The food was magnificent the kitchen did amazing the portion sizes are huge..when u enter the whole place will turn and stare at u as the inside is reminiscent of a family bar so a no go if u have social anxiety. I had the steak eggs and home fries and a side of French toast..my server was great ..the only downside for me was I was served ice water which had a few unknown black flecks in the cup and when I ordered orange juice it was a bottle of orange juice which I didnt much like the flavor. Aside from that I would return happily

Sometimes you have to wait a little bit, but the food is well worth it. very good food very good service and for me it’s 25 minutes away. Very good. It’s a gem. Don’t miss it.

Breakfast is excellent. You have to get the bacon. Great Pearl coffee too. This is my favorite diner for breakfast. My favorite dish is the country fried steak with sausage gravy, eggs, home fries. It is very tender and tastes great. Another go to is #2 eggs, home fries, bacon and sourdough toast. Really liked the onion rings and they give you a large portion. The biscuits and gravy are excellent. Everything here tastes great.

Loved it! So busy for such a small place, completely worth the wait to get in! We had the steak and egg special along with some maple rolls from a local baker, the price is generous as were the portions! Our server was amazing, would recommend anyone to stop in and grab a plate! And their bacon... worth getting a side!
