Had a nice lunch! Nachos were delicious! Big portions! We got some beers! Met a nice couple at next table. The waitress was great! We will definitely come back!

Yasmine was one of the sweetest waitresses I've ever met! She made our New Years experience so fun; she was attentive and a perfect balance of fun, thanks for the great service! Also great drinks

Julie was a gem. We have come here so many times and this was one of the best experiences yet! I always go out of way my way to review good service so thank you !

We were in HB for the air show and the fog rolled in so off to Fred's we went while keeping our eye on the sky over the beach from our table. We were very impressed with the friendly service from our hostess and server. We had salsa and chips which were fresh and flavorful. We also shared the shrimp and steak fajitas which fed both of us and were my lunch for the next two days ! We also saw a huge order of nachos being served that looked like it could feed about 5 or 6 people! We will be back !

I want to first say how much I love Fred's for its location, atmosphere, and friendly staff. I dined for lunch yesterday and asked the server which drinks they make into mocktails. I was given the option for strawberry, lime, or a pina colada mocktail. My friend and I ordered one strawberry and one pina colada mocktail to enjoy. The drinks came quick, and tasted great, but they were served in plastic cups which made us feel like children. Everyone else had cute glass goblets and we both kept saying how much we wished ours had come that way too. Because of this we didn't feel like boomeranging or cheers-ing which is the one thing that is important to us since we are sober but still want to have fun! The salad was great and the portion was great too! I had the bikini sized salad and it was perfect for one person to enjoy and finish in one setting. This restaurant is upstairs on main and pch and has views of the pier and of Main Street. Parking is available in a nearby structure that is free for first 90 minutes.

Went here for Taco Tuesday specials which are from 4pm until closing time and have tacos for $3 to $4.50. Good spot upstairs with views of the ocean and boardwalk, located across the PCH from the HB pier. There's also an elevator for accessibility directly into the restaurant. They allow dogs and you can even order a dish of cooked meat and kibble for small or large breeds. Summertime is busy and wait time can vary between 15 minutes to an hour on Tuesday nights. HB boardwalk also has their Surf City Nights, where they close down 3 blocks of Main Street (the downtown/boardwalk/pier) to host a community street fair and farmers market filled with local artisans, fresh produce, and live music performances. It's a lively night out with family and friends. Now onto the food at Fred's. My family ordered a smattering of tacos and the chicken taco salad ($19) with a side of rice and beans ($6). All tacos were decent sized ($3.50 to $6 for Taco Tuesday), mostly served on flour tortillas, and larger than your street tacos. It's definitely Americanized Calimex food, but hey you're more than likely here for the atmosphere. I also had the mango magarita and the cadillac margarita (with Grand Marnier). Both were good but pricey at $16+ each. Beers range from $6.50 up. Regular prices for their food is comparable to what you'd pay for casual beachside venues. The draw again is of course location, vibes, and view. And also the 80s music videos playing on their multiple LCD screens around the bar.

We always have such a great time at Freds! My group came here during the weekday for a few drinks before we had to head out to the airport and since the place was mostly empty, we were seated pretty quickly. Since we had a group of 6, we sat outside but a little towards the back where the larger tables were. We ordered a few rounds of drinks and all of them were fantastic! The drinks are strong and well priced. The KA margaritas are so good! We also ordered the ceviche and guac with chips and both of them were great as well. Can't wait to come back again soon!
