Over a Century of History
Fred & Red's first opened at 10th and Main in 1923. The 7-seat diner quickly became a favorite among the locals and the area's hard-working miners.
In 1943, we moved to our current location at 1719 Main Street with 23 seats. Ownership and the name changed over the years from Grover's to Fred & Grover's to Fred & Bud's, and in 1956, to Fred & Red's when Red Wilcoxson bought half of the diner to become Fred's partner.
In 1975, Fred & Red's and the secret recipe were handed over to Red's son, Larry Wilcoxson, who had worked at the diner since he was 11 years old.
