Great scramble eggs, Classic eggs Benedict and hash browns! I finished everything immediately because it came out quick and piping hot. And the flavor just boosted my appetite.

Great breakfast spot. The food was delicious especially their house fried potatoes. I would definitely go back here anytime I'm in Sausalito.

***IF YOU CARE ABOUT PEOPLE LIVING WITH A DISABILITY DO NOT GO HERE***
This is a horrible establishment. I had my service dog who is a registered service animal. At the door they told us we had to sit outside, even though it was 8:20am so only 48 degrees outside. When I tried to tell them that she is a registered service animal and I can show them her ID (which is already extending myself because legally I do not even have to do that) they did not care. The man cut me off and said “no only outside.”
To have my disability completely dismissed felt horrible and was embarrassing. I did not want to cause a scene at the door so I left and called asking to speak to a manager. I thought that I could nicely clear this up with someone, but the same guy answered the phone and said “no manager here” in the same rude and dismissive tone. When I tried to go to their website to see if I could email somebody, it redirected me to a sketchy online casino website. You cannot make this kind of thing up!
Since moving to SF I have not had any issues like this. I have been to fancy Italian restaurants, expensive sushi restaurants…that have all been more tha accommodating. So to be told I could not sit inside A DINER with my service animal was shocking.
**** IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL! ****** Restaurants in California are considered “public accommodations” under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and state law, which means they must allow people with service animals into all areas where customers are normally allowed. They cannot be excluded simply because of the service animal.
It’s one thing for an employee to be ignorant of the law. That happens. What’s unacceptable is pairing that ignorance with arrogance and outright rudeness when I attempted to explain the actual legal requirements. There was no manager on site. No website. No visible way to hold anyone accountable. The entire interaction reeked of a sketchy, poorly run operation that thrives on dismissiveness rather than responsibility. This place should be ashamed of itself.

Good food, good portions, good price. Hit the spot if you're looking for a breakfast diner.
There was a wait outside on a weekend at noon but all the parties were seat within 15 minutes.
Food arrived super fast. Would recommend and visit again.

Food was delicious. Great small atmosphere. Great people and service.
Absolutely disgusting behavior. Avoid this place at all costs.
I have never been treated so horribly by any restaurant. Our child accidentally spilled something — as kids do — and instead of responding with even basic human decency, the staff swore at us. Yes, swore at a family with a child.
And it gets worse: they actually told us to clean the floor ourselves, barking orders at us like we were an inconvenience they wanted to get rid of. I’ve never seen such hostility or unprofessionalism from people who claim to be in “hospitality.” It was humiliating, aggressive, and completely out of line. Mind you, we’ve been customers for 20+ years and these were the owners communicating with us.
If this is how they treat customers — especially families — then they don’t deserve a single dollar of anyone’s business. There are plenty of restaurants where the staff understands kindness, respect, and how to behave like adults. This place is NOT one of them.

We stumbled into Fred’s Place by accident one morning while driving from San Francisco to Mt. Tamalpais—easily the best happy accident of our trip. I ordered bacon, scrambled eggs, and hash browns; my daughter had the American Melt. Everything was simple, fresh, and genuinely delicious. The locally roasted coffee was outstanding, too.
Despite the place being packed when we arrived, the staff stayed friendly, attentive, and helpful. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll absolutely be back at Fred’s Place.

Here’s the deal: we decided to try this place for something new. Our normal breakfast place is Salt and Pepper in Tiburon. The bottom line: this place is mid and Salt and Pepper is the best breakfast in Marin.
We ordered: the sweet bacon, Swedish pancakes, and scrambled eggs with chorizo and onion.
Pancakes: ok- lacked flavor and the maple syrup on the table tasted like those fake syrups.
Eggs: not great- chorizo and onion were in huge chunks- the preparation lacked attention to detail and was messy. I asked what other toppings we could add to the eggs and was told they don’t do that here. This dish was $25. See photo.
Bacon: nice flavor but very chewy and not crispy. $10 for two pieces of bacon is absurd.
All in all, we will not return and we’re VERY disappointed. The service was unfriendly and rushed. Skip this place. It’s no good.
My favorite breakfast spot in Sausalito!
