Fred & Red's Reviews
They have excellent food and even more excellent service! I highly recommend eating here! 💯🖤
The chili was delicious! There were three of us in the group and we all enjoyed our food. The service was great! The employees were very friendly! This was our first time eating here and we'll be back!
The person I had ring my food up decided to ring up unnecessary items then refuse to give me a receipt as well as refund or to make my new food. Suggested I bring the food back tomorrow which is a cross contamination issue and let me speak to a manager who may or may not issue my refund. I spent 15 dollars on something I was under the assumption was 10. I've never heard of a 5 dollar tax. Worst experience ever I wouldn't recommend anybody going to this business.

Fred & Red's is a historic restaurant with a rich history, dating back to the 1930s. Located in a great spot, it offers awesome food and a helpful staff. The inside atmosphere is somewhat stale, but the adjacent parking lot provides ample space for parking. The restaurant caters to kids, with kid-friendly food options available, and is known for its small space where customers often sit at the counter. While it is not wheelchair accessible, the restaurant remains a favorite for many, especially for its burgers, chili burgers, and spaghetti. The spaghetti red is considered a must-try dish, with many visitors calling it an iconic Midwest staple. The restaurant has a nostalgic, old-time diner feel and has been in the same location since the early 1940s. Customers appreciate the quick service options, including dine-in, carry-out, and drive-thru, making it easy to enjoy their meals. Despite some recent service and food quality issues, many still find Fred & Red's to be a great spot to visit, even from afar.
