This restaurant is a little out of the way...not far from Harry Grove Stadium, though. Menu is quite diversified--you can find salads, sandwiches, and great appetizers. We weren't too hungry so I opted for the Skinny Green Pizza, which is pesto and spinach and tomatoes, on very thin crust, lots of tasty spices, and about 10 inches around...you will find... More

Huge portions- we usually get 3 sandwiches for 4 of us & share, & still have leftovers. Wine shop attached is an added plus. Live the exploding potatoes!

Neat little deli with a lot of choices. There is a fantastic beer selection in the back part of the restaurant and the boys there are enthusiastic and helpful.

This is such a great lunch place in Frederick. The exploded potatoes are worth every calorie!!!!! Everything I've ever had is great! I would highly recommend this to anyone! It does get very busy at lunch time though.

Frisco's is a hidden gem in Frederick. It's tucked away in an industrial park and does little advertising, bringing in business by word of mouth and reputation alone. The food is outstanding. An overwhelming array of sandwiches as well as soups, salads and meal sized stuffed baked potatoes. Everyone will tell you to get the exploded potatoes on the side.... More

A great eatery in a hard-to-find location but well worth the effort. Huge overstuffed sandwiches and the exploded baked potatoes (also available in quantity to take home) are simply outstanding

MANY choices of fresh and fabulous food creations in this deli-style restaurant. We haven't had anything we didn't like. I highly recommend the exploded potatoes! They soup is awesome, too!

The sandwiches are really good and huge portions. I dream about the Exploding Mashed Potato Salad and the Chili. Relatively inexpensive as well. We make pilgrimages here from Ellicott City. People are nice enough and the decor is a little wierd, but i definitely recommend it.

Wow. We went there twice for lunch and it was FABULOUS both times. The exploded potatoes were so gooooooood. Get a small if you are eating something else. In our group, we had sandwhiches, salads, exploded potato (yes, worth mentioning twice) and everything was good. The guys tried the flat iron steak sandwhich and said it was great. The cobb... More
