Didi’s Downtown

Hippy Kai Yay Didi Goers! This cute little southern gem is the place to be on a Friday night! As I walked in to this cute little restaurant I was welcomed by Didi herself. She gave us a big hug and asked how our day was harvesting the crops down yonder. As I warmed up my dreary bones by the nice fire Didi brought over some delicious Philly Cheesesteak eggrolls. She was telling us that she just came back from a trip from Philadelphia and had this idea of making a Philly Cheesesteak eggroll! How witty of her. Then she spent her whole day fishing out by the Frisco lake and caught some catfish and redfish! She sure is a hard worker. As I finished the egg rolls there she comes with the main courses! Fresh catch of the day YUM! God bless Didi.

We wanted to go somewhere that was off the beat and path. We ventured to the downtown area and I had read some of the reviews and we were like let's go!!! I really like the way it looks so comfortable and like you're eating dinner with family. Our waitress Simone, greeted us as soon as we were seated. She made great small talk to get to know us and welcome us. She went over the menu and shared with us what they were know for and gave us some great recommendations.We started off with the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. This is a must when you come here. These were some of the best we've ever had. The steak was full of flavor and oh so tender. The cheese was just right and the egg roll had the best crunch. The horseradish and ranch dip took it over the top. Our entrees were the mushroom Swiss burger, the general Tso's chicken sandwich and the hot honey chicken sandwich. All three were amazing!!! The burger was cooked perfectly and so juicy. Both chicken sandwiches were huge and not dried out. They were lightly breaded but had that crunchy coating that you want your sandwich to have. The general Tso's sauce had a kick but it was really good. The hand cut fries were amazing!! That's how you complement a great sandwich. The owner came out and introduced himself and that made us feel more welcomed. When we're in town again, we will definitely be back. The beignets were the best I've ever had and I've been all over New Orleans. They were so soft and full of deliciousness. The honey dipping sauce was the right sauce for these. This is for the owner. When you come to Alabama for fishing, give me a call!!!

We are visiting Frisco from out of town and noticed this great restaurant was right down the street. We had dinner here our first night, and wow it was amazing. I had the patty melt and my wife had the meat loaf. For dessert we had their beignets, and wow, those were amazing too. We were so excited and stoked about the quality of food, that we decided to go there again today (Saturday) for brunch. The food was again amazing for brunch. The staff is very friendly. The review lost one star because the chef was walking through the restaurant, stopped at our table, and reprimanded us for bringing outside coffee into the restaurant (we are from out of town and didn't know the rules and also double checked that it is not posted on the door). It is never a good feeling to be reprimanded in the middle of a family meal. Other than the one bad experience during breakfast, I would highly recommend this place! It is truly great food!

We enjoyed the flavors of our meals. I had blackened catcfish Pochatrain with a red pepper cream sauce. Had 3 shrimp on top. Not too spicy. My husband had the NY Strip. Very moist. My son had a frito pue made of a higher quality meat. He also had mac and cheese. Originally, he had to send it back because it didn't have enough cheese on it. No big deal, they fixed it. Lots of variety on the menu. The chef and owner graciously made his rounds to the table to check on us. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They have a large patio, enclosed with a tent like structure and both heaters and fans for weather variations. They have live musicians that play. We liked the atmosphere as it is a house. It felt homey. Will be back.

Overall good experience, large menu and also brunch menu. My wife had the Philly Cheesesteak Omelette, it was a little disappointing honestly. Just tasted bland overall (2.5/5). I had the Seared Ahi sandwich, it was excellent and the fries also excellent (5/5). I actually was amazed how good this sandwich was and will come back for it. If the omelette was not ordered I would have given this place a full 5 stars.

Wow! Great service, great food, chill vibe and family friendly. I had a lemon drop martini and fried mahi fish tacos with fries, it hit the spot!

We've heard great things about Didi's Downtown so it's been on our restaurant list. The Fish and Chips were delicious, Gyro was okay, and the daily special, Stroganoff, was too salty and, quite frankly, inedible. That was the recommendation from the server so I was very disappointed. Maybe it was an off night.

10/10! Owner was nice and food was good, patio was heated and played good music :) Happy hour 3-6!

Live music, heated patio, amazing chef/owner who takes the time to stop by and say hello. Yes, I did eat this entire bowl of Elote by myself with no regrets.

What a great experience today looking forward to a lunch place in Frisco. Sat at the bar and ordered burgers. Exceptional service!!! We will be back!!!
