Fred's Place

Great scramble eggs, Classic eggs Benedict and hash browns! I finished everything immediately because it came out quick and piping hot. And the flavor just boosted my appetite.

Here’s the deal: we decided to try this place for something new. Our normal breakfast place is Salt and Pepper in Tiburon. The bottom line: this place is mid and Salt and Pepper is the best breakfast in Marin. We ordered: the sweet bacon, Swedish pancakes, and scrambled eggs with chorizo and onion. Pancakes: ok- lacked flavor and the maple syrup on the table tasted like those fake syrups. Eggs: not great- chorizo and onion were in huge chunks- the preparation lacked attention to detail and was messy. I asked what other toppings we could add to the eggs and was told they don’t do that here. This dish was $25. See photo. Bacon: nice flavor but very chewy and not crispy. $10 for two pieces of bacon is absurd. All in all, we will not return and we’re VERY disappointed. The service was unfriendly and rushed. Skip this place. It’s no good.

Good food, good portions, good price. Hit the spot if you're looking for a breakfast diner. There was a wait outside on a weekend at noon but all the parties were seat within 15 minutes. Food arrived super fast. Would recommend and visit again.

Freshly cooked delicious breakfast. Great and fast services!

Haven’t been Sausalito for a long while because I worried a traffic. Came here for brunch and chill out on weekday. Turned out it was a good experience. I chose Fred’s because it’s very local, and it located not in busy downtown. Ordered the crab egg benedict and Italian Swedish, they were delicious. It’s a bit pricey but it’s ok because the portions are big. Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. Who care it doesn’t have sea views. Highly recommended, definitely will come back again! Updated 1/29 : Came back again after one week. This time we ordered Fred’s Burger and Salmon Egg Benedict. Our favorite brunch place after hiking Mt. Tamalpais

Classic diner - since 1966. Counter seating, great eggs and bacon

***IF YOU CARE ABOUT PEOPLE LIVING WITH A DISABILITY DO NOT GO HERE*** This is a horrible establishment. I had my service dog who is a registered service animal. At the door they told us we had to sit outside, even though it was 8:20am so only 48 degrees outside. When I tried to tell them that she is a registered service animal and I can show them her ID (which is already extending myself because legally I do not even have to do that) they did not care. The man cut me off and said “no only outside.” To have my disability completely dismissed felt horrible and was embarrassing. I did not want to cause a scene at the door so I left and called asking to speak to a manager. I thought that I could nicely clear this up with someone, but the same guy answered the phone and said “no manager here” in the same rude and dismissive tone. When I tried to go to their website to see if I could email somebody, it redirected me to a sketchy online casino website. You cannot make this kind of thing up! Since moving to SF I have not had any issues like this. I have been to fancy Italian restaurants, expensive sushi restaurants…that have all been more tha accommodating. So to be told I could not sit inside A DINER with my service animal was shocking. **** IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL! ****** Restaurants in California are considered “public accommodations” under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and state law, which means they must allow people with service animals into all areas where customers are normally allowed. They cannot be excluded simply because of the service animal. It’s one thing for an employee to be ignorant of the law. That happens. What’s unacceptable is pairing that ignorance with arrogance and outright rudeness when I attempted to explain the actual legal requirements. There was no manager on site. No website. No visible way to hold anyone accountable. The entire interaction reeked of a sketchy, poorly run operation that thrives on dismissiveness rather than responsibility. This place should be ashamed of itself.

Went for a morning drive to Sausalito from San Francisco. I hadn’t been to this town in ages & wanted to revisit this charming town. I googled places for breakfast & Fred’s looked promising so we headed there. There’s a small shared parking lot next to the cafe & plenty of street parking. It’s a small cafe with some outdoor seating & it was pretty busy on Saturday morning. We were seated at a large shared table with two other people. They didn’t mind & neither did we. Extensive menu- I’d read the most popular items are the lemon ricotta pancakes, egg plate with sweet bacon, deep fried French toast & the Swedish, but looking at fellow customers plates who’d ordered some of the dishes, I decided I could not eat such large portions! I went for the single berry waffle & my husband ordered the veggie omelette. The waffle was delicious; only wish the syrup they served was real Maple syrup. I don’t eat the fake stuff so I skipped it. The omelette was very nice & came with toast & hash browns. We had ordered cappuccino & laughed when we saw the size of the “cup” - almost like a mini bathtub! I’m fussy about my coffee & this one just ok. Overall, a nice little place to enjoy breakfast before walking down to the marina & town center.
