This was recommended by a colleague. Great place, service to notch and most importantly the skirt steak was delicious!

Excellent service and great tasting food! The environment was friendly and inviting. The restaurant was clean.

Great service by David and the atmosphere was amazing and very intimate and it doesn't feel like your downtown

Location- perfectly situated downtown Staff- 100/10 (Gabby is absolutely wonderful and the host (Allen) was so gracious and friendly) Ambiance- swanky, cozy and inviting Food- my husband had the linguine with shrimp he loved it! I got the chicken with bacon and cheese- it was a bit salty for me, but I'm not used to rich food- my husband said it was delicious and brought the leftovers home (which was the whole thing minus two bites). Our lovely waitress Gabby was as immediately aware that I had not touched my meal and asked if she could bring me something else. She also took the chicken dish off our bill even though we took it home. She offered again a few minutes later to bring something else so graciously and genuinely concerned. I would definitely go back and try something else- I should have known cheese and bacon would have been too salty for my palate. WHATEVER YOU DO order the pork belly appetizer. To die for read more

It looks absolutely stunning inside. I definitely recommend getting a reservation as it's not a big restaurant. The service was amazing even though they were short staffed. I never felt impacted at all by that. We went about 1 hr after they opened. For appetizers we had the pork belly toast, the house bread, and coconut shrimp. Everything was phenomenal. Average portions for 4 people. I recommend the house bread and pork belly toast. The toast has pesto sauce and mushrooms. I'm personally not a fan of mushrooms however, my father who loves them liked this a lot. The food was incredible! The steaks were cooked to perfection. The flavor seeped into the steaks not just sitting on top with a nice crust. The mashed potatoes were smooth and garlicky. The tiger shrimp linguini pasta was like tasting the sea. The sauce was fishy yet creamy. Nothing too overpowering. The fries are mediocre, don't recommend. Everything is made to order. So it tastes very fresh. read more

Was at the SDCC and found that Freddy's was one of the only restaurants that didn't have a long line of people. I think the many visitors were looking for Mexican food instead of a good steak. Well, it is their loss. The pictures don't do it justice as this was a great, dimly lit restaurant with great service and food.

Street, metered parking with some lots nearby. Make a reservation or expect to wait awhile for a table. They have table and bar seating inside, and tables outside as well. It took a bit to get water. Luckily we were ready to order as we only ended up seeing our waiter twice during our visit. Food came out fast. Tried: Skirt steak and baked potato $26 - skirt steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Baked potato was bad. It was lukewarm and tasted old. Do not get the baked potato. Buffalo chicken and fries $16 - chicken was overcooked. Buffalo sauce was good. Fries and ranch were excellent. Some of the best ranch I've ever had. Listed under appetizers but it could be an entree too. Good portion. We were sitting for a long time after finishing before we finally saw our waiter again to flag them down for the check. I'd be willing to give them another chance if I am in the area again as the steak was good. Just go here for the steak, fries and ranch. read more

Food 5/5: pork ribs, filet mignon, ribeye were all really good. My husband said steak was better than water grill's $70 steak. Meat was all just melting in our mouth, great and balanced seasonings. Loved all! Also the coconut shrimp was good as well. Service 5/5: Our server was Jordan, loved her, and receptionist was Sarah, great recs from her! outstanding service, really made the experience much better. Funny, personable, great to our dogs, great and accurate recommendations, all in all really fantastic. Makes us wanna come back. Ambiance 5/5: cute and cozy place! Both outdoor and indoor. Bring your pups! Def will be back! Highly recommend. read more

Stopped by Freddy's while at the FinOpsX. We had a large party (9 folks). We were greeted by the manager who I noticed was helping everyone out on his team in-between greeting guest. We had a wonder waitress (Gabby I believe) who talk exceptional care of us. Service was outstanding. And we haven't even talked food yet. We ordered a couple apps (burrata was killer) and they were consumed rapidly and the consensus was the same, incredible! We ordered steaks, pork chops, burgers and everything was out of this world. Personally, the pork chop (what I ate) was one of the best I've ever had. The carrots with goat cheese were a fantastic pairing. Any time I'm in San Diego, I'm going back. read more

Great chop house off the beaten path in the Gaslamp District. Food was really good and the pricing is very reasonable. The steak was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The roasted carrots with cheese were awesome. Joe was our waiter, he was friendly and attentive. Parking is always an issue. Take Lyft if possible. Make a reservation, we went on a Monday night and they were packed. The atmosphere is old school steak house. We will return and recommend you give it a try. read more

We had been told Freddy's was the place to go for a solid steak and honestly it did not disappoint. The skirt steak with chimichurri sauce and French fries was absolutely phenomenal. I will say, the chimichurri is not traditional, but still great! The French fries might be some of the best I have ever had honestly. My husband got the BBQ burger and he said it was melt in your mouth fantastic! The mojito was so delicious and the old fashion hit just right. The only reason I am putting 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the service. We waited 10 minutes, with a reservation, for the host to acknowledge us. Our waiter was great but we would have liked to have been checked on a bit more. The restaurant itself is very pretty and the food is wonderful! We will be back! read more

Arrived there without a reservation and host was courteous and told us they were very busy that night, and had one open table outside. She asked if we wanted to sit outside. We thought why not the night was warm and comfortable. Our server, Tony was very nice and didn't rush us, as I have mentioned they were busy. He explain to us about their menu and very knowledgeable about their alcohol. We had a couple of drinks when the food arrived. My wife had the filet mignon and I had the linguine with skirt steak, both meals were good size portions and delicious. The experience was wonderful. read more

I went to Freddy's Chophouse yesterday with my family for my brother's birthday. Overall it was a good experience, but it wasn't fabulous or mind-boggling. Just above average and pretty good. Let's break everything down. First, the service was very good. The wait staff and the manager were very friendly and very attentive. The only slightly odd thing that happened was when my draft Pacifico was forgotten, but I did eventually get it. Next, the atmosphere is nice. It's a good mixture between a fine dining feel and a bar vibe. The decorations are slightly gaudy and Consortium-Holdings-adjacent, but it's coherent enough for me to not be mad at it. Now the most important part--the food. For me, the food was about 4/5 stars. This is kind of a discount steakhouse. They offer ribeye, flank steak, filet mignon, salmon, chicken, and lobster dishes. They also offer a lot of entree side options and premium sides, as well as salads. For me, the food quality was a little lower than I'd have liked. It's good, but it's not really *all that* or anything. My flank steak was cooked decently and to my liking, but my brother's steak was nearly medium-well when he'd asked for medium-rare. My brother's wife's chicken was slightly overcooked. But the flavors were there overall. Not bad quality food or terrible cook/presentation, but off enough for us to notice. Finally, the cocktails. My espresso martini was pretty good, and they have a nice selection of beers. However, my mother's mezcal-guava-hybrid cocktail was pretty weird. Somehow the sweetness of the drink didn't mask or mix with the smokiness of the mezcal at all. Instead it was as if you registered smokiness and super-sweetness simultaneously yet separately. Quite an odd drink I'd recommend avoiding. That's it! 4/5 on food, 5/5 on service, and 4/ on atmosphere. read more

I went here for Happy Hour with my friend & wow, they have one of the best Happy Hours in all of SD! They have strong, amazing cocktails for $10 during this time. My favorites were their GOGO & Swifty. Customer service was top notch the first time I came. She was incredibly friendly & gave great recs. I loved it so much I went again the following week. However, I had a different server & he was a bit sassy & did not check in on us often. Coconut Shrimp: Generous amount of shrimp. Tasty! Summer Salad: Large portion & refreshing. Skirt Steak: A must order. Perfectly cooked, marinated & tender. read more

Jordan was amazing, she was attentive and walked us through the menu. If you needed anything, you didn't even have to turn your head and she was there. The food was amazing!! I got the skirt steak and it was the most tender and juicy skirt steak I've had. The chimichurri sauce was the cherry the top. The fries that came with it were perfect as well. My partner has the burger and again, the meat was so juicy and overall a great burger. The place is also very well decorated with the disco ball and neon lighting. Overall a very cool place to hang out, grab a drink, and quick bite. Will be coming back soon when we're back in SD. read more

Came here on a Monday late afternoon for their happy hour. They had a lot of reservations coming in, but they gave us a nice spot outdoors in front. The food in descending order: Coconut Shrimp - saw another table order this and had to put in an order. Very crispy exterior, large pieces of shrimp (not the weird prepackaged butterflied ones), with a sweet and tangy sauce. Jalapeño Bacon Mac N Cheese - cheesy, but not overly cheesy. Got the jalapeño flavor without being very spicy. Kids were able to eat it. Pork Belly Toast - mushroom, porky, herby sauce over toast. It's a bit hard to eat, but really tasty. Summer Salad - spring greens with tomatoes, sliced apples, candied pecans, mozzarella cheese, and dressed with a vinaigrette and balsamic glaze. A nice complement to the other dishes Popcorn Shrimp - shrimp had a nice light batter. Fries were great (crispy outside, fluffy interior). Served with ketchup and a standard sweet chili sauce. Mini Sliders - 3 mini burgers. Flavor was good, but the burgers were on the firmer side. Not dry, but a tad more cooked than we like it. Fries were great. Their happy hour is fantastic and very reasonably priced. Shout out to our main server, Gabby! She is awesome. Props to all the servers who are filled with positive energy and are very attentive. Highly recommend! read more

Well, in my recent trip to the gaslamp District, I kept hearing about Freddy's chophouse even my wife was sending me recommendations for dinner and the first one that came up was this So I felt that the universe was talking to me and said go! So, I went. Made a reservation through Yelp and was met by the door by Allen who was the most gracious lovely host ever. So, I knew I had made the right choice. Gabi what's my server and she was also fantastic and I had heard from the hotel that if you have one thing and one thing only get the ribs they are truly fall off the bone. So I sat down next-door group where there was a birthday party, yes, I bought the shots and laughed with them, and then my Wine came and these little biscuits, which were amazing. The whole place was just fun, which is just what I needed. And then the ribs came and all I can say is GO!!!!!! This restaurant is a must stop if you're in that area, thank you Allen. Thank you Gabby. I had a blast. read more

Freddy's Chophouse is a vibe, and not your typical steakhouse. I was not expecting high-end just based off the prices. The space is cozy and inviting. We started off with the bread, which was delicious. Buttered, salted and drizzled w hot honey. For drinks, I had the espresso martini which was a solid 9/10 and my friend had a margarita! . Cocktails were strong and well-made, which always earns bonus points. We both had steaks. The steaks were good (not mind-blowing, but solid). The vibe is definitely a highlight it's lively, trendy, and great for a night out. read more

I had such a great experience at Freddy's Chophouse in downtown San Diego. From the beginning, the customer service was beyond amazing. I received both a text and a phone call to confirm my reservation, which I honestly appreciated because I have a busy schedule and reminders help a lot. Our reservation was for 4:30 PM, but our table was actually ready by 3:30, so we could have come earlier if we wanted. Our server was incredible. We asked for recommendations and he walked us through the best drinks and food options during happy hour. We ended up trusting his suggestions and ordered what he recommended, and I'm glad we did. I had a party of six, but only two of us arrived early while the rest of the group came later. The restaurant had another reservation scheduled for our table at 6:30, but instead of rushing us out or cutting our time short, they kindly moved us to another table so we could stay longer. That extra effort really stood out to me because I know most restaurants stick strictly to their policies. I truly appreciated them going the extra mile. Another sweet touch: we forgot birthday candles for our celebration, and the staff brought out sparklers that they normally use for their flights. It made the moment feel special and thoughtful. Now for the food, the 10 oz skirt steak was incredible. It literally melted in my mouth. If I could make one suggestion, pairing it with a bit of blue cheese crumbles would be a chef's kiss because the steak was that good. Several people in our group ordered it and we all agreed it was delicious. The coconut shrimp was also amazing, especially with the sauce. The pork belly toast with pesto and mushrooms was another standout really flavorful. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the mashed potatoes. I'm picky with mashed potatoes, so I'd rate them about a 5/10. They could use a little more work, but everything else was great. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful and it's a really nice steakhouse. I was pleasantly surprised and I'm glad I chose this place. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu maybe next time with a smaller group so I don't have to wait on everyone! Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

We came here for Valentines Day. The staff was happy to be here even on a busy night, which makes a different. I made reservations and we were seated within seconds of arriving. Parking can be tough, but this is just downtown, and not the fault of the restaurant, but I had parking luck and found a spot quickly across the street which the meter gladly accepted my loose change. We were seated near the front and found rose petals and other Valentines decorations throughout the restaurant. Our server Justin was amazing and patient with us. He asked if it was our first time, it was, and shared the special drinks and meals. In time, we ordered the Crispy Popcorn Shrimp (which he recommended to have with rice as we ordered another dish with fries and this made the dish so much better), The New York Strip with garlic mash (that they split for us) and the BBQ Pulled Pork Fries (the reason he recommended the rice and we had leftovers so I added these into tortillas the next day). Justin and others checked in on us often and we had a good and witty interactions. The food and ambiance was amazing and we will definitely be back. read more

This place is so good. The steak is to die for. The service was amazing. The interior is so gorgeous I give props to whoever designed it. It's a perfect spot for instagram pics. The drinks are very good and pinterest worthy. The ambiance is really nice, the place is super clean and it's great for a first date! The bruschetta id give a 7/10. The fried ice cream id give a 7/10. The steak id give a 7.8/10. The lobster mac n cheese lacked a little bit of flavor so id give it a 6.8/10!

What a great find and I can't believe I didn't find it sooner. Right in gaslamp by the convention center and never noticed it. Went for lunch on a Saturday and it was happy hour so bonus! Got to try some apps that we probably wouldn't have gotten. Service was great. Very helpful and attentive which I love even when it got busy. It's a small space but feels cozy and never felt like it got loud even when there were a lot of people. Only reason it didn't get a 5 star was that my medium rare ribeye was a bit overcooked. Which was disappointing for a steak place todo. Flavor was good just a bit chewy for a ribeye at $45. Everything else was great. read more

Freddy's Chophouse in downtown San Diego delivered the best restaurant experience I have ever had! We went for happy hour and everything from the food to the service to the overall atmosphere was absolutely incredible. The aesthetics are beautiful, the vibe is welcoming and energetic, and there is a genuinely positive attitude throughout the entire restaurant from the staff to the guests. The service was outstanding and our server, Tommy, deserves special recognition. He was attentive, kind, funny and went far above and beyond. My daughter wanted a virgin piña colada but we found out they didn't have the ingredients. However, Tommy wasn't going to let that stop him. Even after we told him it was absolutely not necessary, Tommy went next door to get the ingredients just so she could have one. That level of care and thoughtfulness is rare and deeply appreciated. She ended up having multiple virgin piña coladas, and they were wonderful. For happy hour, we ordered the bacon jalapeño mac and cheese, which was incredible and packed with flavor. We also had the chicken tenders with fries, which were perfectly made and absolutely delicious. The Freddy's bread was another standout. The Hawaiian rolls with their amazing glaze were completely addicting and impossible to stop eating. My friend and I ordered espresso martinis, and they were both beautiful and delicious, made perfectly and presented thoughtfully. One of the most memorable moments of the evening came from an unexpected act of kindness. A very generous man paid our tab without saying a word and left before we even knew it had happened, giving us no opportunity to thank him. There was no hovering, no expectation of recognition, just a quiet and genuine gesture. I could tell he was not from San Diego so if anyone knows who this incredibly kind man is, please pass along our thanks (and let him know I'm single lol). I truly cannot say enough good things about Freddy's Chophouse. The food was amazing, the drinks were outstanding, the service was exceptional and the atmosphere was unforgettable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. There is no mystery at all as to why it has such a high rating. Thanks again to Tommy and the incredibly kind patron who picked up our tap. What a wonderful experience and great memory none of us will forget. read more
