Food was over seasoned Over cookedStrange and weirdThe beef sandwich was just okThe beef bbq was a pile of very dark meat on a roll served with red skinned mashed potato( never seen that one before)The steak salad had pieces of mystery beef?With coating?So to sum it upFood pretty awful There is basically no serviceAmbiance: cheapest chairs , tables,going for funkLike a cement block garageToilets are the tiniest cheap crapNot made for anyone other than a very small person that might weigh 95 pounds

a.k.a. Friscos is a cool sandwich shop located amongst office complexes in Frederick, MD. The restaurant offers a variety of sandwiches, salads, sides and craft beers. The giant subs are named after locations in the San Francisco/Bay Area. I ordered the Trans-Am (named after the famous Transamerica Building. It's Friscos' take on a club sandwich, and it was incredible. I ordered half of a sandwich and it was more than filling. The staff is friendly and attentive and will answer any questions. There is not a lot of seating inside the restaurant, but plenty is outside. Don't worry, the outdoor seating is covered, so you don't have to worry about melting in the sun. If you're in the Frederick area and in the mood for a different type of sub shop, give a.k.a. Friscos a try!

Had a fantastic lunch experience at AKA Friscos yesterday. The turkey sandwiches were awesome, as was the Chili. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Food came out in under :15 mins. The sandwiches were fully stuffed with meat - I could only eat half of it. Highly recommend.

We usually get take out but I recently ate in and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing. Customer service is always on point - courteous and always willing to help you find the meal you want. My personal favorite is the Alcatraz sandwich - fresh sourdough, turkey, avocado, and sprouts! So yummy! This place is a staple for our out of town guests!!

Nothing not to love here at all. Incredibly imaginative and diverse menu of enormous sandwiches, salads and innovative variations on baked potato toppings. What they do, they do with supreme excellence. Pricing is most fair considering the generosity of the serving sizes; definitely a place to share a plate and not to feel bad about it. The "West of Santa Fe" salad hits the sweet spot of what they are best at; Tex-Mex and California cuisine with an upscale feel. Good selection of craft beers too for happy hour or maybe an early dinner before a Frederick Keys game, as we have done many times in the past. Don't let the business park location and industrial feel fool you. Very obviously the restaurant is run by foodies. One note: sub-optimal place for a business lunch or for (say) senior citizens despite the great accessibility: its austere and thus, loud inside. One can come back here dozens of times and not be bored.

This place has really good sandwiches! I have come here a few times but to be honest the menu could use some updating. Sometimes less is more that way the focus can be on making things great and not hustle good. The mac & cheese needs seasoning it's nice to have all the cheese but seasoning is a must. I loves all the craft beer options and that there is a store attached. The young lady that took my order didn't seem like she wanted to be there but took our order. She failed to inform me where i would get the other kids meal goods(cookie, drink) and the cashier didn't informed me either. To be honest, I didn't have a horrible experience if it was OK it just needs some seasoning when it comes to the macaroni and cheese. There weren't many people in the restaurant, but overall it was very clean and things were in order. I would visit again

Great service and amazing food! We got 3 Alcatraz sandwiches, 1 trans-am sandwich, and 1 lomabard sandwich along with chili, Mac and cheese, and exploding potatoes.My personal favorite was the Alcatraz sandwich which tasted clean and the sauce really made the sandwich for me. Also I really enjoyed the exploding potatoes! Loved the atmosphere and helpful staff!

Been going here for 20+ years. Live in Montgomery County now so do not get here as often. Still a winner.
