Whether you’re stopping by for a hearty breakfast, a casual lunch, or a comforting cup of coffee, Fred’s Place offers an inviting atmosphere where fresh, quality ingredients shine in every dish.

The menu reads like a love letter to classic breakfast and Mexican fare, with standout dishes that are as comforting as they are crave-worthy. The Egg Plate with Fred’s Sweet Bacon is a crowd favorite, where the smoky-sweet bacon perfectly complements vibrant, fluffy eggs. Fans rave about the Millionaire’s Bacon 2—a decadent, crave-inducing treat—and the Blackstone Benedict, which elevates the much-loved classic Eggs Benedict into an unforgettable morning experience. For those drawn toward fresh, colorful options, the various omelettes such as the Pacifica, Primavera, and Greek deliver vibrant, herbaceous bites that burst with flavor.

    Great little place to stop for a quick bite. Right outside SF past the Golden Gated heading North. 8 min from the Vista Point. Service was fast, and food hit the spot. We arrived around 11, and I was able to get breakfast while my son got lunch. We sat at the bar as to enjoy some father son time together, being able to watch the chef put the food together is always a treat. Prices we’re decent for todays world, will make this a routine stop on long trips north.

    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

    Easily the best eggs Benedict I have had in my entire life, the sweet bacon is to die for and you can't go wrong with the waffles either and I can't get over how fresh the OJ was. Perfect and cozy breakfast spot!

    Classic family owned cafe with a delicious menu. Everything was delicious, the service was friendly, and the food was fantastic. What more is there to say.

    We stumbled into Fred’s Place by accident one morning while driving from San Francisco to Mt. Tamalpais—easily the best happy accident of our trip. I ordered bacon, scrambled eggs, and hash browns; my daughter had the American Melt. Everything was simple, fresh, and genuinely delicious. The locally roasted coffee was outstanding, too. Despite the place being packed when we arrived, the staff stayed friendly, attentive, and helpful. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll absolutely be back at Fred’s Place.

    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.
