Was a good place to stop for snacks and to watch people walking the beach and a great view of the fishing pier. Service and food were both good and will stop there next time in the Huntington Beacg area

I visited Fred’s, last evening with a couple of my girlfriends and it was our first time eating there. The restaurant is located in a perfect position on the corner of Main Street and Pacific Coast Hwy in Downtown Huntington Beach and is upstairs so the view is amazing from their patio area (where we sat) We ordered our drinks,...

We really enjoyed having a drink and queso while watching the paint ball tournament on the beach. The location is perfect and getting a table by the window was a bonus. Fun, busy place with a large variety on the menu. We would stop again.

We had dinner at freds as the sun was setting one evening. The table had a great view of the sunset over the ocean. The food was average and the atmosphere was loud and hectic. Taking away the sunset there are much better places in Huntington beach to find a bite to eat.

Mexican food with American flair. The staff were friendly and fast. The beer was cold and the food served hot. We had fajitas, fish tacos, chips, salsa and guacamole. The beans were too salty, but the rice was terrific.

I like this place. It has a view of the Ocean, the food is good and the drinks with set your day right. Staff is friendly and attentive. We were visiting our son in Huntington Beach and he suggested this spot, and I am glad he did. Looking forward to going back. It is everything that you think it it... More

There is nothing special about this place.The food is average and the wait staff is a little slow.There were four of us and only 3 dinners can out. They told us the other dinner would be out soon. Our waitress left and it was like the one that took over forgot about the fourth dinner. We had to ask twice... More

What fun, great decor! Huge margaritas and appetizers! Couldn't eat even half of what we ordered and the view is amazing. Watched the sunset over the beach from the patio. Fun staff and perfect location.

Great views of the beach and pacific. Food was just average and service was a bit slow. We asked for more chips and did not get them until our food was almost gone.
