Ethel & Fred’s

My fiancé and I have been to practically every restaurant in this area and this place is way underrated! French toast is one of the best in town. Eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly. My fiancé had eggs and bacon and she also loved every bite.
The service was excellent, fast and our order came quickly and exactly as ordered. Servers were also excellent and always seemed to pop in at the right time.
I’m actually shocked this place doesn’t have much higher reviews. Come check this place out its worth it.

This place is not good. None of the employees really put in an effort. It’s the first time I didn’t take my food to go. It seems as though it used to be good but it’s completely lost hope.

GOOD SERVICE! the food is better sometimes than others. Its the cheapest breakfast around, and they have good burgers. they do not offer a counter to sit at which is disappointing

Used to love their cabbage rolls. Don’t serve them regularly any more. Breakfast is mediocre. Nothing else on menu is appealing. Veggies are canned. Mashed potatoes are instant. Yuck! Probably done with this place.

Decided to check this place out for breakfast one day with a group of friends and I regretted it as soon as we sat down. The service lacked enthusiasm and our waitress was rude and neglected our table the entire time. The food was alright nothing special and the place itself was just blah. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time or money here.

As mentioned in other reviews, the atmosphere is lacking, reminded me of an open bingo hall to be honest. They have a couple murals that obviously has effort put into them but did not fill the vast space, and some of the lights need replacing.
It’s obviously a mom and pop business that might be struggling but when it comes down to the food, I have no complaints. The pricing makes it a great value, I ordered the pot pie and I quite enjoyed it. You also get decent side options making it overall quite the portion size. Also as mentioned previously it is served HOT. While the ingredients may not have been homemade I had no concerns of it being cooked improperly.
As food is the main reason you would choose this I’m not going to fault them on appearance. Even though it isn’t the prettiest, it was a clean facility and the staff was pleasant.

Fred and Ethel’s is an OK place for breakfast/​brunch. Food is not bad, but there is nothing remarcable either. In my opinion the place needs a bit of a facelift. Décor looked a bit dated. Service was OK, staff was friendly.

my friend and i had breakfast today… i had steak and eggs with grits and toast, he had eggs, hash browns, and toast. Food was home cooked, service excellent, friend appreciated the close eye on his coffee mugs with continual refills… and i means many refills as we were talking a lot. bottom line if you want home cooked food, prompt service, clean envirnonment then this is it. Prices verry reasonable. My steak was sirloin and cooked as requested. Steak with steak sauce and perfect fried eggs… hard to beat!!!

Wow, just called three times wanting to place an order. and no answer on the phone. Get it together.

I found this place for breakfast by simply looking on my GPS and the name caught my attention. I wondered why it wasn’t called Fred & Ethel’s instead. Finally a place that had sausage in their sausage gravy. The hasbrowns were cooked really well. If you are looking for a place to have a awesome décor, this isn’t it. It is located in a strip mall with outdated tables and chairs with no real decorating. The service was good. I gave it 3 stars simply because of the inside appearance. The food was good and hot.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had breakfast at Ethel & Fred’s. So long that it was like a whole new experience for me.
While the food is 4 – 5 star worthy, on this occasion the service was not. She was very sluggish and lackadaisical. We went for brunch on a weekday morning, and she just seemed as though she couldn’t be bothered. A different server brought out our food (which was piping hot), and checked on us after, but then we waited a good 5 – 7 minutes after we finished eating for our original server to acknowledge us and bring our check over. All the while she was setting near by tables with silverware and place mats. The only other thing to worthy this a 3 star review is that when my boyfriend ordered a soda it came to the table in a can with a glass of ice which struck us as strange.
Ethel and Fred’s is located in the corner of an older strip mall, so if you aren’t looking for it then you may miss it. The food is good, and it is very reasonably priced. Definitely worth a try — especially their home made muffins! Request yours to be heated on the grill; delicious!

Food was pretty tasty, but the cost was less than appetizing. I like the hole in the wall feel, and the family atmosphere, and the waitress I had was very quick and always had a smile on. I MIGHT go back, but I still feel their prices are a bit steep for what you get.

Ethel and Fred’s has a great local diner atmosphere. The food has a home-​cooked appeal. It was tasty, cheap, and fast– everything I like in a quickie lunch spot. I tried the open-​faced roast beef with mashed potatoes and coleslaw as a side. My daughter had the simple grilled cheese. She said it was good, not too fancy. Simple and filling. My roast beef was good, a little bit too salty, but yummy nonetheless. The mashed potatoes tasted real, no potato flakes here. Is my grandma in the kitchen? The coleslaw was pretty good, your generic run-​of-​the-​mill type. I would definitely come back here for breakfast or lunch. Sundays breakfast is served all day. The staff was prompt and friendly. I’ll be back…

Today my wife and I ventured into Ethel and Fred’s for the first time. Having seen many people comment on the roast beef I chose the open face roast with mashed taters and gravy, my wife with the french dip with au jus. The food took about 8 – 10 minutes to arrive just after hearing the sweet sound of a bell and proving to me someone is in the kitchen working it out by him or herself, one table at a time and for me thats perfect. Nothing rushed not to much pre-​made in advance just order it and I’ll cook it for you!
The beef was tender and delicious, the mashed potatoes were tasty especially with the beef gravy over them. My only complaint would be to toast the bread or use another kind as it was soggy and gooey before I finished. My wife mmm’d over and over as she ate her first french dip and exclaimed that from now on all food items need to be served with a side of beef au jus!
We also had sides of black beans that were just a bit tough and under seasoned and cole slaw that was too vinegary for my wife but I enjoyed!
I personally can’t wait to go back and try something else!
