Akron’s Fred’s Diner: Comfort food legend

Akron locals know there’s nothing quite like Fred’s Diner on a weekend morning. The place may be tiny, but the country fried steak is massive—crispy, tender, and smothered in creamy gravy that’s pure comfort. The bacon? Piled high and perfectly crunchy. Don’t expect fancy décor or a drawn-out brunch; Fred’s keeps it simple, fast, and friendly, with a motto of “Eat, Pay, Get Out”—but always with a smile. Prices are old-school, portions are generous, and the community vibe is real. If you’ve been, you know the wait is always worth it. What’s your go-to order at Fred’s? #Food #AkronEats #ComfortFood
