Amazing steak and great ambiance for a birthday dinner ! And even better service from Savannah

Sydney was such a great server and took great care of us! I would come back just for her!

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

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! I am a very harsh critic so im sure all of this would've been fine for the normal person! 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

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

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 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

Great happy hour in the Gas Lamp! Place looks very nice and would make an excellent date night spot. Came in for Happy Hour and it was in full swing. We ordered drinks and a few apps, food was good (standard HH stuff, burrata was nice tho) and drinks were also nice. But what made the visit was our waitress, Sydney. She was floating around the dining room with such ease and made every table feel tended to. She just had such a warm and happy spirit it was a pleasure to be in her section. The people next to us were talking about it before we even mentioned it, she was absolutely stellar. I hope her boss sees this and pays her more! 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

A client dinner in San Diego was the impetus for this meal and I couldn't have been more delighted. When you walk in, the setting is unassuming - it looks like an irish pub, but is infact an upscale dining experience. The service was fantastic, the wine list was perfectly aligned with what we were looking for with plenty of variety. We all ordered the salmon and it was cooked to perfection and an exact right size. I can't say enough about my meal at Freddy's. read more

Super delicious. Every bite I had between both the mac and steak was amazing. I do not regret it. Everything was good and the ambiance. I want to thank you to both Alan and Bobby for making this happen for my friends and i. On may 2nd is when we visited the establishment. And we chose to celebrate here for my best friend's bachelor party. I am the best man to his wedding in june. Service was pretty great! Samantha was wonderful, super attentive, and just there for us.

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

Excellent prices for the quality, and the drinks are seriously tasty. My favorite cocktail is the Swifty--so good I'd order it again without hesitation. The tomahawk is a great deal and perfect for sharing. Everything we tried was flavorful and well presented. We came here for New Year's, and getting a reservation was surprisingly easy. Happy hour is great, and the vibe works just as well for a fancy dinner date. Definitely don't miss this spot. 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

I went to Freddy's Chophouse with my husband and another couple for dinner on a Friday night. I made reservations well in advance, which was probably a good idea, as the place was hopping when we arrived at 7:00PM. It was my first time at Freddy's. It was a fun, upscale, but not overly fancy atmosphere. Service was really excellent. Not only was it prompt, but they took great care in ensuring that requests were fulfilled, such as altering the drink recipe slightly for a member of our party, as well as checking for allergies. Durning the evening, I ordered two cocktails: the Executive which was a traditional vodka martini with blue cheese olives, and the Maple Old Fashioned which was a smoked bourbon and maple cocktail. Both were excellent. They also did a great job with my husband's Honey Bee, a bourbon sour. For dinner, I had the grilled Mahi with a side of sautéed burgundy mushrooms (normally served with rice). The sauce was a delicious white pesto sauce. The Mahi was very good, but may have been a tad overcooked. I tried my husband's filet. It was also very good, but I will say it seemed slightly over the medium-rare request. I tried his jalapeño bacon mac and cheese which was really amazing. I also tasted my friend's skirt steak, which is not a cut of steak I typically order. The flavor of the steak and sauce was really amazing. All in all, Freddy's was a great meal with great drinks and great service. I'm not sure if everyone agreed with me, but it seemed that a couple items were just so slightly overcooked. I really enjoyed the fun atmosphere and great music playing in the background. read more

Freddy's Chophouse (San Diego) was a great impromptu stop that hit the spot. I came in craving something simple and went with a steak sandwich, and it delivered--perfect portion size, solid flavor, and fairly priced. It came with thick-cut sweet potato fries, which were a nice touch and paired really well. To drink, I had a watermelon mezcal margarita, and it was delicious--refreshing with a nice smoky kick from the mezcal. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The space itself is cozy and on the smaller side, but it works--it has a laid-back, comfortable vibe that makes it a great spot to grab a drink and a solid meal. Bottom line: A great casual spot for steaks, burgers, and sandwiches. read more

Went to Freddy's for the first time. Loved the "dark" decor, like the black and hunter green walls. Very unique. Our waitress, Gabby, was so genuine, pleasant, and made sure we had everything we needed. The drinks she recommended were awesome! I had the 1945 Old Fashioned and my mom had a pina colada on the rockets (that was surprisingly delicious!). We started with the coconut shrimp and the burrata, both were amazing. But the filet mignon medium rare with a loaded backed potato was magical, and perfectly cooked. I'm pretty picky with my filets, and this place has jumped near the top of my list. The jalapeño bacon Mac n cheese wasn't my cup of tea, not bad - but just not memorable. Overall I will definitely be back the next time I'm in SD, and I hope that Gabby will still be there!

I've been traveling to San Diego for work frequently this year, and each time I eat at Freddy's. But I have a warning for burger lovers in this review- Do not order a burger at Freddy's Chop House! We love the steaks here, but we made the mistake of ordering burgers on a recent visit. The burgers are frozen patties. The patties are Sam's Club grade that someone would give their 10 year old kids. Simply horrible. All other elements of our meal were excellent- great salad, great appetizer, and great drinks. I'm still giving Freddy's 4 stars on this review because the steaks are fantastic. read more

5 out of 5!! I've been wanting to go to Freddy Chophouse for the longest time, but put it off because who wants to deal with DT parking ugh! Well.. perfect opportunity.. I had a PTO day so I decided to make a reservation for 4:30 on a Friday.. I figured I could beat the DT rush. I thought I would be late but got there just in time. My Daughter found parking right away. We did beat the rush because it was not busy at all, just steady. We were seated immediately. Amanda was our server and she was cool. She checked on us throughout the night, even when she started to get busy. Happy Hour was ending soon (5pm on Fridays) so we ordered drinks and appetizers. The 1945 Old Fashioned was perfect, strong like I like em'. I also had a shot of Jameson and a Kentucky Buck (mule) it was ok, wasn't strong enough for me though. Food: Chophouse Bread 10/10- Amazing what you can do with some regular ol Hawaiian rolls.. ended up ordering another round. Pork Belly Mushroom Toast 10/10- so much going on, presentation wise it looks a hot mess but.. trust me.. try it. Nice big chunks of pork belly too. The pesto Cajun sauce wow!! Skirt Steak 10/10- the chimichurri sauce they serve on top is like no other chimichurri sauce I've had. So good with my perfectly cooked moodium rare steak. It comes with a side so I chose the salted burgundy mushrooms. I could have eaten a whole platter of those mushrooms. Lobster Mac and cheese 10/10.. alisten... this Mac and cheese gets a 10/10 just for the lobster alone. Was I expected a whole lobster being served on top, absolutely not! The tail I would say was between 6-8oz. Cooked to perfection too. The Mac and cheese was good. Was it the best I ever had no, but I would order this again! I plan on going back soon to try other items. My recommendation would be to get there early to beat the crowds, and maybe find decent parking. Only thing I would have changed was the music. I thought the play R&B but the night we went they were playing some idk.. sounded like some TJ club techno music. I wasn't a fan haha. read more

We even had room for skirt steak dish which came with chimichurri sauce and fully loaded baked potato. All delicious. We got their most popular drink. 1945 (their take on an old fashion) and espresso martini which was SO good!! Service was excellent! Our waiter was also the bartender and he was very attentive. Our host was also amazing and cordial. The place is decorated very classy with a touch of Christmas. Definitely a chill vibe place to hangout with good friends. read more

I was surprised at how much I liked this place. You get close to top steakhouse food at much more affordable prices. The wedge salad was great. The roasted carrots with feta were amazing. The NY Strip was well cut, cooked perfectly, and nicely seasoned. Very good. The drinks were all fine. The service was good.
