If you like your waitress to swear at you and say she’ll rip you a new one and then ask you to not come back, with ok food. Well than this is your kind of place. Personally I have never been so insulted. The only reason I didn’t get up and walk out was because I didn’t want to insult my friend. I will definitely not be back

This place is awesome!! It’s definitely a HIDDEN GEM that everyone needs to experience. Their food is really good and to top it off, all the employees are great! We will definitely keep coming back.

Fred’s Diner is a nice establishment to grab a bite at 225 Center St, Grayslake, IL 60030. Be aware that it’s first come, first serve. There are a few booths in the front with a bar countertop as well as two seater booths along the wall. We ordered the vegetable omelette and the ham & cheese omelette. To add cheese is 50 cents more and to add meat is a $1.00 more. You can have either three pancakes or two pieces of toast with your omelettes. Feel free to have cottage cheese or hash browns too. The pancakes were soooo fluffy. Note, they don’t have ice cream to enjoy with your pancakes.

Great food, great staff, cheap food, and quick service. I have been going here since I was a kid, and every time I go it’s always as great as the first time. Would recommend anyone who come to town gets some cash (cash only restaurant) and have a great breakfast and/or lunch.

Highly recommend!!! Good old-fashioned diner food, fantastic service, you will have to wait for a table and its well worth it. You have to try it at least once.

This was such a fun little place for breakfast. The service is fast considering it’s a small little place and the servers are working really hard along with the cooks. We sat at the bar because there were no tables available and I am glad we did. It was fun talking to the staff as they were getting orders prepared. The breakfast was a breakfast. Simple and easy. Nothing fancy. But we’ll definitely come back. The prices are extremely fair in today’s economy!
