    Buffalo salad with chicken steak is a give it a try option! Something new type with shredded chicken n cheese coated with buffalo sauce makes it foodgasmic:-)

    Almost NO sandwich- without a side of fries or chips or something is worth $9 to me, but this comes damn close! The cheesesteak- Tender juicy beef good bread. I will eat here again, ON PAYDAYS!

    Do yourself a favor: Listen to bartender Jen & order the Italian Fries along with your meal. I'm no Fries Guy, but these French fries, topped with Italian seasonings & Romano cheese, are really good.

    The classic cheesesteak w/ wiz, you won't be disappointed. Ask for some old bay on your sweet potatoe fries! ☺️

    Had the old fashioned with bacon. Very well seasoned. Steak was a little dry but a little ketchup solved that problem. Will come again and try their other choices.

    Really a pretty good cheesesteak in the area. You can always get a good lunch here and at night it’s like a club in there

    FiDi just keeps getting better and better. Killer cheesesteaks. Italian fries on the side if you know what's good for you.

    If you don't like cheesesteaks, try any of the chicken cutlet options. The Buffalo is delicious. Also, anything with their broccoli rabe is tasty.

    Great place. But the DJ on Thursday nights needs to go. Too loud and part of the charm is the music they usually have on......it's a beer/bourbon bar. Not a club.

    Head downtown for a truly unsnobby beer-and-cheesesteak spot where they know there's no shame in putting a Coors Light next to a Troegs Scratch Series beer.

    The Buffalo Chicken steak was great! Mild was a good heat but I might try Hot if I'm feeling daring.
