The servers are quirky. The breakfasts are fabulous. They’re open 24/7/365. What’s not to love?

Love this 24 hour dinner! Sort-of run down looking dinner bustling w/ hipsters lounging on their outdoor tables. Dog-walkers, tattoed folks and the rest of us subject ourselves to the grueling wait on busy days to get a taste of their delectable and inventive dishes. Love the Thai Cobb salad, ALL breakfast dishes, and their cutesy little dollar pancakes. My only complaint is the inattentive service.

Imagine this, you’re exiting the club, and the hot-dog vendors are enticing you with their addicitive bacon-wrapped hot-dogs but you kindly say no as that is a heart-attack waiting to happen since you know you can’t just eat one.

You want to stay away from the 24-hour Hollywood rif-raf diners, drive further east and you’ll find Fred 62. However, upon arriving, you are disconcerted that the wait is long, but by that time, you are already wishing for just at least one ‘dog’ from that smiling vendor and wait it out. I may have just told you to eat those ‘dogs’ and save your money, but you still insist on waiting since it is the place to be seen.

So I have dined here many many times, on a late Sunday morning or after-hours clubbing. Most of my visits are not memorable and I do have a favorite server, can’t remember her name, she’s Brazilian and attending school,and she has always been very kind to us.

The food is so so and they do offer healthier fares. Their Asian Cobb Salad is decent and opposite of healthy, the Fried Mac n Cheese balls are equally fine and the pancakes are surprisingly good.

This is a place where a lot of wannabe and established “creative” types, the punked out teens , the tatoo squad and nerds blend in and do mind their own business and just enjoy the scene.

What is really cool are their inscribed tees that the servers wear such as “We Serve Crackers,” and other amusing one-liners.

You have to at least try it once, just to say, yah I’ve been to Fred 62 and I …

I ate at Fred 62 feb 14 2008 and had breakfast there .. I had eggs scrambled with bacon,, and my friend had a tuna melt,, ok,, the waitress leanna was out to lunch,,, it took ages to get the order,,, she finally brought or someone else did, the order,,, no forks to eat it with,, the toast which was sourdough was cold and hard as a rock.. the butter was hard as a rock and the service sucked .. suddenly we had another waitress.. young latin girl.. who brought us coffee and the check… this was my anniversary and this was the breakfast before the anniversary dinner,, terrible service and overpriced,, the tuna melt was fine except the girl never asked what kind of bread it was on,, the food was ok,, except when it hit me.. diahrrea hit big time.. all night from those eggs… I know it was that since I didn’t and couldn’t eat anything else and it ruined my anniversay meal,, overpriced and not my cup of tea getting sick,, 23 dollars for what?? afew eggs and toast and a tuna melt and to end up with food poisoning,, no way will I ever go to that joint that is overpriced again,,, furgurl@lycos.com
