Was through town today and stopped by for a quick bite to eat. The grilled cheese was amazing. Vegetable soup was fresh, hot and delicious. I also had the carrot cake. It was like what my grandma used to make very memorable. Thank you for a great experience. I’ll definitely be stopping back through here again!! The carrot cake is awesome!! Did I mention? Try the carrot cake!!

Excellent, excellent excellent!! I haven't been to Frisch's in a very long time and I know the chain is struggling as open times and drive through changes each week. This is a long ago favorite restaurant of mine and I recently moved back to the area after a 30 year absence. I am saddened to see it struggling. But yet stay the good and friendly place of my memories. Food was good, service kind and friendly and facility clean well maintained inside and out. Kudos to all who work hard to obtain this quality.

Big Boys is closing a lot of locations lately. It’s nice to hear this location is staying open. The service was great and the food was very good. I love the vintage aesthetics at this locations 80s style big boy.

I got the September special fish sandwich and fries for 7. I asked for crispy fries and they were still hot and crispy when I got home to eat and there was a generous amount. The fish sandwich is big and delicious! If you like fish sandwiches this special will not disappoint you. But hurry it's only for the month of September. Dine in or carryout. I also didn't realize I was there so close to closing time. The staff was pleasant and friendly.
