Rate-A-Restaurant, #18 in a series
Restaurant: Fred 62
Location: 1850 N Vermont Ave. (corner of Russell)
Type of restaurant: Diner
They stipulated: Seat yourself, this is a casual place.
What we ordered: Sin Delicious (vermicelli noodle soup cooked Vietnamese style) for Maria and the Bang Bang (flat noodle soup with tofu cooked Thai style) for Mike.
High point: The menu. When you look around at what other people are having, you suddenly get food envy and wonder why you didn't order what they are eating. You scan the rest of the menu and every category has one or two things that sound delicious.
Low point: The menu. The food names are too gimicky and soon, you'll be reduced to ordering a sin delicious or a bang bang late one saturday night. But, you really do need to try the mac daddy and cheese.
Overall impression: This is an old stand-by for us. When we're trying to figure out where to eat and have nothing in particular in mind, Fred 62 can always be counted on for a good meal that'll satisfy everyone's taste buds. The menu is so diverse, you can order breakfast for dinner or dinner for breakfast. I love sitting at the comfortable booths of this diner and look up at the wall decor, ranging from a mirrored silhouette of Tony the Tiger to black & white head shot drawings of old, famous people.
Chance we will go back: Yes. We have got to go there for breakfast...
