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.
