SEVEN WORDS: GOOD ALL-AMERICAN TASTE AND SURROUNDINGS / GREAT PRICE. . We were specifically looking for a Frisch's Big Boy and this wvas the closest so away we went. . I ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken while my Wife ordered a Fried Fish Dinner. Both came with two sides, which gave us a chance to sample most of their options: French Fries, Cole Slaw, Sweet Potato Fries, and Apple Sauce. . Our Meals were exactly as you'd expect, the side dishes were somewhat better than cafeteria quality. . This sounds like a bad thing, but it isnt. Both the Fried Fish and Chicken Fried Chicken were above average and filling. We managed to save room for a slice of Pecan Pie. It was Fresh, if not fantastic. . Overall, the meals rated 6/10. Not great, not bad. The restaurant was average, too. However, the total meal only set us back $21 + tip. That's pretty phenomenal in my boo and deserves consideration. However, if you're looking for phenomenal eats, you're never likely to get it here. . It is what it is and if that's what you're interested in, this is your place. read more

The food was very good. The bar was delicious. The fruit freah. I liked that they give you more onion rings than most places where you get about 5. Our server was nice even with having full tables. She still managed to take care of our needs. It was kind of loud, but the restaurant had many people in it. Bathrooms could have been cleaner though. read more

Good ppl good service!!!!! I have recommended this to all of ppl and they all have said that same thing about the managers service for there employees n about the cooks quality of food!!! 100% read more

Cold food, incompetence and attitude. The service was horrible. We ordered online through their app. I checked in as instructed when I arrived. 20 minutes after they said it would be ready, I had to go inside looking for it. Food was ready but cold. They had not started my shakes. Took them 10 more minutes. They didn't even say anything to me. Just shoved the "food" at me. Not clean at all. Never going back to this branch again. read more

This appears to be a newer or remodeled location. Very nice decor, well lit, and very spacious. We been here for a few visits now and the food had been great each time. Service had been friendly and helpful. We especially love the breakfast buffet on the weekends! read more

Frisch's Big Boy - Lobby Mural - Diners Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

The service was horrible to say the least, our server had an attitude from take a seat. Tables were dirty all around us. The fish sandwich was good but this is the worse Frisch's in the area by far when it comes to customer service and keeping the restaurant clean and presentable. Next time I will drive to Tipp City since they seem to want to take the time to be cordial to the customer and I have seen the staff taking the time to bus tables and clean windows. read more

The food is hot and fresh. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and all for doing out of there way to make the guests happy.

Great food and wonderful service! Will stop again! Yuuuummmmmmyyyyy!!!!!!! I have nothing else to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Very clean!!!! read more

I was so excited to share this restaurant experience with my daughters who were in Ohio for the first time- huge mistake.Thursday, 26 September 2024 at 7pm there were about 15 patrons, and two wait staff. I could see three "cooks," and a young worker working the drive through. There was a steady business through the drive. Busy Thursday night. The food arrived...cold, and a bite was already taken out of the sausage patty I was served...clearly taken from an earlier diner's plate ...I asked for new sausage...I should have left then but I had just driven across five states...After we ate, I was ready for the bill...20 minutes passed and the server never returned. I got up to pay the bill and discovered 10 other patrons waiting to do the same thing, all talking about the disappearing wait staff. A patron walked in from the drive-thru, who had gotten fed up waiting for her food to arrive- she came in to demand her money back- she reported seeing two wait staffers workers smoking across the street...this is now over 40 minutes...eventually they cam back, loudly exclaiming they deserved a break. Solutions here: pay a wage that people want to work for? Instill pride in work ethic? read more

Stacey W thank you for going above & beyond making our order right!!! You get the 4 stars. The food gets 3!

we left a different restaurant due to the long wait (+ one hour). we had a party of nine people, there was an acceptable wait time for a table to accommodate us (about :30min's), but the experience went downhill after being seated. Two of the nine ordered the buffet, the other seven ordered from the menu. Of the seven menu orders, three asked to have the food made again due to being cold, one drink was wrong (ordered decaf hot tea, decaf coffee was brought instead, and when we inquired, we were told "we don't carry decaf tea, sono brought this instead"), other various items (butter, jelly, etc.) had to be asked for multiple times...not a place I would recommend We should have waited at the other restaurant read more

Ordered thru GrubHub. Missing a drink. Poor quality of food for the price. My recommendation is skip this restaurant on Old Troy Pike

Our large party was well taken care of the server did a great even with our requests, shout out to Terri and Selma for their service , thanks Big Boy for remaining one of our favorites read more

Impressively bad. Ordered a chicken sandwich and they were out of those. Ordered a chicken Parm dinner. They came out to the salad bar and scraped crusty spaghetti and which had clearly been sitting there all day and threw a chicken patty on top and brought it over and actually served it to me. (Ballsy on a level I can't explain without a photo, I sent it back.) manager wasn't interested in speaking to me. One of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had, but the waitress was actually very polite. read more

Ordered the hot diggity dog. Let me say, skyline, gold star, any frozen hot dog concoction found at Walmart, you don't have anything to worry about. I ordered it with chili and cheese. It was placed in a container 4 times bigger than the hot dog. So of course it rolled over and all the crap ran off it. I liked hot dogs a little charred, but this was flat out burnt. Maybe Frisches has a deal with the speedway across the street to take the roller dogs they can't sell Live and learn...... read more

My granddaughter and I stopped here to eat and waited and waited and waited and no one seated us. 2 other ladies had been there before us and a long time waiting and they told us the couple before them had just finally seated themselves. We continued to wait a little longer and finally decided there was no one there interested in seating us much less waiting on us. We finally left. We figured if they did not care to give us a seat and a menu we probably did not have time to wait to get any food. I would not recommend going there. It was not busy. Only a few guests are seated inside and a few cars are outside. If these places want to make it they need to have employees that will work and not socialize on work time. Not going back to this Frisches. Sad as I like Frisches. read more

The restaurant is pretty clean. But when they clean a table off they should sweep the floor at the same time. Since it's Sunday, we decided to come for the breakfast buffet. Not impressed at all. The scrambled eggs were not fluffed when cooked so they didn't taste right. The sausage gravy was watered down too much, so you couldn't get the full flavor. The sausage patties were so dried out you could use them as hockey pucks. No one stirred the food occasionally to maintain the freshness. But the bacon strips were pretty good. As well as the biscuits. read more

Great food! Server Mikayla did a great job! The food came out as requested and was hot! Dinner was great!

I stopped at this location on my way home from Columbus, OH and it was the most bland but messy with condiments chicken wrap I have ever had in my entire life. read more

I haven't been to this location in a while. The food was good as always however, the service was considerably less than good. I asked for milk for my coffee and recieved about a thimble full. Took my order and I received no napkins or flatware. Finally had to ask for a napkin. When I went to the counter to pay the cheque I stood for nearly 10 minutes without being acknowledged. Finally when I was noticed and helped the staff person was rude. I asked her how long must I stand here before being helped. I got a ride reply of "they're busy back there" I also work in a service industry and understand the concept of customer satisfaction. Something this location has no clue about. read more

So, let me start by saying that if I could give this place ZERO stars, I would. It seems like Frisch's in general are going downhill but when I say that this one is on the top of the list of worst restaurants out there at the moment, it's not an understatement. From the "customer service", at ALL levels, to the food, to the wait times...AWFUL. I have lived in the area for 7 years and have been to this Frisch's at least 15 times because I have always believed in giving second chances and I honestly just keep hoping that something will change, and that is on me. However, I can count on one hand the number of times my order has come quickly, correctly and with someone pleasant to hand it to me. Let me recount a couple different defining moments that not only have me swearing it off completely, but I will tell anyone who orders from here to go elsewhere. * Came in with family, including my son and his gf for homecoming. Came in an hr and a half before the dance for a "quick" dinner. There were maybe 8 tables seated but definitely not busy enough to warrant us walking in and standing there for at least 5 MINUTES with not one person out of the 10 I saw walking around the floor and behind the counter saying ANYTHING. And they saw us. Made eye contact, but still nothing. Finally, someone came and seated us. Took another 35 min to get the food and by then, we had to get going in order to make it to the dance on time, so we packed most everything up and left. *Picked up a doordash order recently. Pickup time was quoted at 4:31 pm. They did not hand me the order until 4:45, and it was shorted a milkshake, which I realized after I took the order to the customer. When I came all the way back to make sure my customer got his milkshake, the same girl who handed it to me proceeded to ask if I had a receipt (I gave the order to the customer, so no) then said she didn't have one. I pressed the issue because I knew we forgot his shake. So she walked to the back and started going off, saying "Y'all I'm SO done" "How she not gonna look at the order before she left?!" "These mf's just trying to get free stuff"...then when she went to get the ice cream, she says "this shit is rock hard". And there is the truth of the whole matter right there. She didn't make it the first time around for that reason. I spoke with the supervisor about this incident, because I'm standing at the counter and can hear EVERYTHING. when I say she handled this girl with kid gloves...I'd have told her to clock out and go home and we would discuss this the next day, if she still had a job. *This isn't the first time I've come in and heard some of the most obscene things being said in the drive thru (the worst part of the whole place). And there is no type of supervision to shut it down. Whether theyre too scared to or are part of the problem...Customers have a right to come into a restaurant to eat without hearing all of the obscenities all the time. If you hate your job, quit. Management needs to do better or the whole place needs to be shut down and just start from scratch where the employees are concerned. Honestly, I have nothing good to say about this Frisch's, and from the other reviews I've seen...it's been this way for awhile and won't be changing any time soon. I won't even accept a doordash order at this point and I encourage everyone to do the same. read more

Hey service was tremendous, food was great Da-Da took care of us. Went out of his way. Super great attitude and actually cared. Really appreciate the effort and kindness. The little things matter . Thank you for a great experience. Ask for him by name . See for yourself. read more

Went to this location for dinner. After 55 minutes, never got our food. Voiced our displeasure to the 'shift leader'. She was rude and argumentative. But only after she finished eating her sandwich that the kitchen prepared for her. I guess it was more important to make sure the staff ate before the paying customers. We saw many tables get up and leave as well as people turning around and walking out after waiting and never being seated. Instead of Corporate giving this location a face lift and remodel, they really should have stuck a fork in this restaurant and called it done! If only we could have stuck a fork in something there tonight! Save the headache and hunger pains..... go ANYWHERE BUT HERE!! read more

Service was friendly, fast, food was good. Kristen did a great job on a busy evening.

Recently visited and love the exterior changes. Staff was great and store was nice and clean with hot fresh food

I brought my partner here who is vegetarian because I'm from around here and I thought it would be better than Bob Evans. They were out of veggie burgers. They're frozen. How hard is it to keep something in stock that is on the menu and also FROZEN? It's hard enough for vegetarians on the road, but it's really really discouraging and frustrating when everything already comes with meat and the one lunch choice there is is not available. read more

Food was good. Waited 5 to 10 minutes before being seated, made eye contact with multiple people and not a one said we will be with you shortly. Tried to seat us in an area where the carpet was soaked. Waited another 10 minutes for the waitress. Got the breakfast bar. Finished my first plate before she brought our drinks. Needed a refill, she said she would bring it and I waited 15 minutes on a dry glass. Wait at least a half hour after finishing my meal for the check. read more

Do we seat ourselves? Do we wait to be seated? I counted 4 waitstaff who looked our way & did not direct us. The menu has no description of the burgers. What is on a Bad Boy??? Stood at the cash register while we were ignored. No one wanted our money? The only positive was our server, Marleigna, who was patient & friendly & did not hesitate to replace my cottage cheese when I found something dark in the bowl! read more

Thank covid. What was once a restaurant that never disappointed is now given 2 stars. You can seat yourself once you order and pre- pay for food that could possibly leave you feeling less than satisfied. A friend and I had a not so pleasant visit to this particular chain restaurant. We marveled at how quickly our food was delivered to our table after ordering and watched as order after order was delivered to other patrons. We realized the food was not freshly cooked. My friends onion rings were cold after eating her second one. No problem because our sandwiches tasted so good. The problem began once we were almost done with our meal. We would have enjoyed having refills of drinks while we ate, that didn't happen. We continued to wait because we had ordered hot fudge cakes. 20 minutes had gone by. No refills of our drinks, no hot fuge cakes, my friend was about to get up and go to the counter to make a complaint when our waitress came over to tell us she would be bringing out the desert momentarily. 5 minutes later we recieved them. Food was good service was awful. So yeah, thanks again covid. read more

Clean friendly knowledgeable people love the pumpkin pie and the beer cheese sliders are amazing everyone should try them

Breakfast buffet is very much of the 'pile it high, kick it out cheap' approach. Which is fine when you consider the budget, but they're pretty slow to replenish it once a few folks have devastated it. Decent enough though, no worse than an average hotel breakfast buffet. Also, if it's busy the service slips dramatically as there's not enough waiting staff. Due to a large table taking up the waitresses' time we were told to seat ourselves, and promptly got forgotten about. 15 minutes later we left and went elsewhere without having been acknowledged. A simple 'sorry we're really busy' would have sufficed. read more

Visited this location a couple times and have been very pleased. Friendly staff and the food comes out quickly. Tastes good! Better than most other places in the area and I will return for a quick cheap but good meal. read more

Pros: food was fresh Cons: waited 10 minutes in the drive thru, had to circle back around because they forgot an item. Later I realized they had made my wrap completely wrong. If I weren't in a hurry I would have went back in but it's all good. read more

The food here was excellent but that wasn't why the five star there only had three minutes left open and they welcomed us in and fed us no small task we had a three-year-old that was really hungry they were the nicest people I've ever met I tried to tell them I don't wanna keep you guys late they demanded we came in and sit down and have a good meal that was amazing the food was really good had a salad and a burger and my son had chicken strips and the wife had a burger it was excellent This is the Apple really needs to be commended for their hospitality just five stars and classy as hell read more

My mind is blown away! So many things that I feel are wrong! First off, when you arrive, you don't get seated, you have to place your order and pay for it at the register! One problem thus crested is, while lm looking over the menu, at the cash register, other customers are waiting to place their order, which means a back up of customers. Next it makes you feel rushed, because others are waiting to get their order in. Why not sit the people, with the menus, let them look at it at their leisure, no rush! So you've placed your order, to include drinks (with all condiments printed on ticket - cream sugar type of jelly, etc). When you pay, they ask if you want to leave a tip for your waitress, and how much? ( I don't know what service is going to be, so I have no idea on top?!)Then they tell yo to have a seat anywhere you want, give you a numbered sign and send you to dining area. Ok now you're sitting down waiting for a waitress to bring you the drinks you ordered, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting! If waitress is there to take your order, you know who to look for, but thus way, anybody could be your waitress!! Here comes your drinks, and the waitress asks you if there is anything else, like creamer, sugar, jelly, etc (remember it being on your order ticket? -this goes to quality of service - remember tip that you paid). Now comes the condiments that you asked for -twice! Now you wait for your food, and wait , and wait! No waitress comes back to check on you, (remember the tip you paid in advance? Well there's your service)! Now you get your food and now where the hell is your waitress? Looks like she did her job -remember you gave her tip already! Food was mediocre, and couldn't get anything changed because waitress has done her job and has moved on! So MANY things wrong there! That is one Big Boy I will not be going to again! I really don't recommend this Frisch big boy to any, not even my enemies! read more

Tried to drive thru at 7am on Thursday March 7th but it wasn't open yet. Tried both drive thru and window, no response. So, skip breakfast there until they are ready, which isn't 7 am. Shame, I love their food. read more

Soooo super super dirty... kids stomach hurt after we left but we came 20 mins before closing and there was 8 of us we heard the people say really....but the seat us and we ate anyway. Our waitress Hayley had good customer service though read more

It's a Frisch's. How can the screw that up? Well, they can't. I was a bit worried on how they allowed a tiny baby to be in the middle of an aisle. Coming back from the soup and salad bar, I have to admit I had visions of something really bad happening with the hot soup. Cute baby though. read more

Very disappointed in the breakfast buffet at Frisch's. The food had definitely sat out too long and was cold! Will not go back to this location for breakfast again. read more

Worst place i have ever been to! How hard is it to make a bacon egg and cheese sandwich without burning every bit of it?! Also my hashbrowns were literally stuck to the bag! No utensils in the bag so i go in to ask for them and the cashier didnt even onow what plastic ware meant! The entire order took them 30 minutes to make! Never again never!!! read more
