Fred's

March 16th-

Fred's is the kind of place that you can go anytime......brunch, early dinner with your honey, late night out with the girls.....anytime. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. The decor is dark and cozy, and the walls are lined with photos of neighborhood dogs like Fred, a black lab. If you bring in a framed photo of your dog, they promise to hang it up. It's charming. The food would be best classified as American......sandwiches, salads.....and the best thing on the menu.....the mac and cheese. I am telling you, this is hands down the best mac and cheese you have or will ever put in your mouth! The cheese is just perfect.....white cheddar, not that scary orange stuff.....and oh so creamy. There isn't anything avant garde about it.....nothing fancy or experimental. It's just classic, dependable and good. It isn't greasy, and it isn't chalked full of dry breadcrumbs- I hate that. I suggest you go there with good friends.....(like I did.....with Mike, David and Javi), get a nice bottle of wine, and slowly savor your classic pasta over enjoyable conversation. You can't go wrong.
