Fred's Burger — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Fred's is the epitome of what your local (as well as hood) burger spot should be. It's definitely a spot that the locals frequent and keep in business. Everyone that comes here knows exactly what they want. The food here is great. I heard so many people here ordering the Chicken Teriyaki dinner plate. I was dead set on getting a burger though, since this is a burger spot. Who am I kidding though? My big old butt had to order the aforementioned dinner plate as well. And I went with the Double Cheeseburger combo for my burger selection. The burger was cooked to perfection, and so flavorful. The fries were great also. Right in between skinny fries and steak fries. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. A perfect fry indeed. The dinner plate was also amazing. The chicken and teriyaki sauce tasted great. And the cabbage mixed in there was a nice touch. It also came with a toasted dinner roll and small salad. I highly recommend this spot. The food and the service is on point. The inside is kinda whatever, since it's plain and not the cleanest it could be. Not enough to deter me though. And their 1000 Island dressing is homemade, and absolutely awesome. Give...

A fixture in the neighborhood for over 50 years! And I am an eye witness to the decline and degradation of the community and Freds as well. They have decent but skimpy burgers now. I've never cared for the canned chili. The breakfast menu is decent and worth exploring. Sometimes, good hash browns if they grill it enough. I like an egg on my burger in the morning. And all the chicken items are decent. Stay away from the beef items. Fred's uses the hamburger meat for those dishes. Freds' has turned into a 3rd world eatery. Where they don't understand english and will f' up your order and then play stupid. I recommend that you call in your order in advance because the line can be long. There's isn't a drive-through. They take debit. Fred's isn't cheap! So, CHECK YOUR ORDER ENTIRELY BEFORE YOU LEAVE. They do not reciprocate for their mistakes. Examine the photo. Does that look like hash browns or undercooked frozen potatoes? This is what they shove down your throat and then consider it satisfactory. Fred's is falling way short of their previous standards. 3rd world standards are now in place in South Los Angeles. #DefundthePolice #KeepvotingDemocrat...

After looking over the menu, I approached the order window and asked if the colossal burger came with pastrami, and the person asked me what drink I wanted with that combo. ??...Okay, I went with it. Then he asked if I'd like everything on it. When I asked what came on the burger, he got annoyed and started rambling off- lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions...so I just said yes and paid. I'm not that picky - I would simply prefer no mustard, but they had napkins if I needed to wipe anything off. I didn't.

The fries were good. The burger was fine. They oil and grill both sides of the bun - not just the inside. Greasy bun, sloppy burger - just thrown together, so I had to reassemble it in order to pick it up to take bites. Let's just say I tried it, and I survived. It was definitely eatable.

The atmosphere, on the other hand, isn't my cup of tea, but I tried it. This place was recommended by someone who lives in Susanville, CA. Apparently, they have one out there, and he absolutely LOVES it. Maybe...
