After celebrating Christmas with Hubby's son's family we stopped here for supper on the drive home. The restaurant is conveniently located for interstate traffic and was not crowded the Saturday after the holiday. Hubby ordered the chili spaghetti, a favorite dish from his childhood, along with the salad bar and was pleased with his choice. The catfish caught my eye and onion rings seemed like the perfect side dish along with a dish of coleslaw. (I forgot to get photos of the coleslaw and Hubby's salad.). The catfish portion was quite generous and I took half of it along with half of the onion rings home for lunch the next day. There was no coleslaw or salad left to take home! It was a typical Frisch's Saturday night crowd, albeit smaller than the Sunday-night-after-church crowds I remember from my teenage years. read more

As a child when I lived in Michigan, I ate a lot of big boys. It reminded me of my childhood. I had forgotten. They used tartar sauce on them, though which I thought was weird. But all in all it was still delicious. The service was excellent too. read more

Stopped here because we don't have them in our neck of the woods. A lot of fun memories as a child going to big boys. It didn't let me down. It was just as I remembered as a boy. Not one thing changed !! The big boy crew were spot on and the burger was just as I remembered it. read more

First time af a Big Boy. I had a Turkey Club sandwich the first day and a salad the second day. The service was great, the sandwich turned out to be too small or round sandwiches but they were good. I've actually forgotten what the salad was like but it was big and satisfying. read more

We stop here pretty regularly on our way back from Norris Lake, and I've never had a bad experience. In fact, it just keeps getting better every time! I usually stick with my go-to -- the Big Boy and the salad bar -- and it never disappoints. The burger is always hot and fresh off the grill, with toasted buns and those crispy edges on the patty that you can't beat. The salad bar is clean, well-stocked, and full of fresh ingredients. Bonus points for the chilled salad plates -- no weird warm-plate-cold-salad situation here! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, with that genuine southern hospitality that's such a treat for us Yankees, lol! If I lived in London, this would be my regular stop two or three times a week. Keep up the great work -- and thank you from these grateful travelers! read more

The Philly cheese steak sandwich with Cole slaw and sweet potato fries hit the spot. Service was excellent. Casual environment and very modern. Will return next time I'm passing by :) read more

Frisch's Big Boy - Who can forget a Big Boy - Fast Food Near Me - London, Kentucky

I had read an article stating that Frisch's and their Big Boy burger is a must try for those visiting Cincinnati. I decided to stop at this London location while on my way to Lexington. The general setup/ambiance is like an old school diner. All the staff was very friendly and the food came out extremely quick. I ordered a plain Big Boy burger with fries and Mac n cheese. Maybe I should have kept the sauce on because the burger was fairly bland. They serve crinkle fries here, which were as good as crinkle fries can be. The Mac n cheese was also pretty bland and the cheese sauce was too watery. It seems like Frisch's is trying to settle itself into a market of value vs quality. The food was relatively inexpensive and came out faster than some fast food chains I've visited. Unfortunately other restaurants do it better though. read more

Always excellent service, delicious food, clean Environment. Everyone is so friendly. The breakfast park is amazing.

Service was good and timely. Food was pretty much awful. My wife had the worst pancakes ever in her life. I had an awful patty melt that was pitiful looking. Pass on by read more

Big boy has long been a favorite of my families. Since we don't have Big Boy at home, anytime we're traveling through we always stop at this location. The food is cheap, good portions, yummy and the staff here is friendly. Our waitress, Amanda, was efficient and always had what we needed before we had to ask. If unsure of what to get, I suggest the original big boy and a hot fudge cake for dessert. Can't wait to stop by big boy next time we pass through. read more

Food was real good and service was great and helpful the super big boy was awesome.will come back

This was the perfect southern reminder of things I'd loved as a child!! The Big Boy statue out front and merch to buy if inclined!! Servers delightful yet not cheeky; busy yet organized and operating like a well oiled machine; little to no wait for a great ceramic Big Boy coffee cup filled with black brew! Tables, benches or a counter facing the kitchen food-up window. Menu reminded me of memories of how it used to be yet updated and plenty of options including a breakfast Buffet worthy to be tried! I loved my reminiscing while taking it all in as an older person... I loved it!! Hope you may as well! read more

I understand we came in LATE (like 7:30pm) so I know how the taco meat was so overcooked (burnt even) and had zero taco seasoning taste left...but what I don't understand is why it wasn't erased from the board or why the waitress or cook didn't refuse to serve it when it was visually unacceptable as well. After telling waitress she did remove from bill ...but I still wouldn't recommend the restaurant or return. Giving 2 stars since she at least didn't charge me for it. read more

Ordered the original big boy burger with green beans and a tossed salad. Was given tater tots instead of the salad by mistake but ate them anyway. All the food was very good. Will definitely try to stop again sometime. read more

Have not been to a Big Boys in years because none near where we live. Were on a road trip and went here last night, we had chicken noodle soup,, grilled cheese, grilled chicken with peas and side of coleslaw and fries and a shake. All was good and service was good. Really liked the chicken noodle soup, lots of thick egg noodles, yum!! Desserts looked good but we were stuffed after dinner. If we are in area again, we would be back! read more

Traveling and stopped for midday meal. Seated immediately. Big Boy sandwiches delivered quickly and delish. Attentive server. Clean dining area & restrooms. Definitely a blast from the past! read more

Worst food ever!!!! My chicken tenders were less than room-temperature. The french fries that I ordered"extra crispy" were soggy and cold. The onion rings seemed to have been cooked a long time again and set out to dry up (we were there at 12:30 so no excuse for that). You can make your decision whether you want to chance eating here or not. I will choose "NOT." read more

We were passing through London on our anniversary and decided to stop at Frisch's since we ate there a lot when we were in college, over 30 years ago. The food was just as good as we remembered and we were lucky enough to get Brittany as our server. She heard it was our anniversary and she went out of her way to make us feel special. Thank you, Brittany!! We hope that you are recognized for your efforts!! read more

I suppose Big Boy has become my favorite local eatery. The number of check-ins I have will prove this... more than double any other restaurant in the area. The food is good, and the price is reasonable. What makes Big Boy so special is that it can cater to almost anyone's tastes. There is a buffet, a salad bar, and a diverse menu from which you can order. I trust that this can satisfy even the pickiest of diners. The buffet can be hit-or-miss. Very rarely do I order it, because I normally am not overly fond of what is offered. I must say that it is very consistent. The food always tastes the same, so if you like it, you will always like it. The same would hold true if you dislike it. Friday nights buffet is undoubtably the most popular (and the only time I usually ever order it). Seafood night. Crab legs, fried clams, fried catfish, etc. Big Boy's tartar sauce being available on the buffet probably has a lot to do with me ordering it, because it is amazing. Saturday nights buffet, grilled chicken and steak, is one I almost always pass on. The chicken is pretty good, but I highly dislike the steak offered. The meat is very low-quality and very difficult to chew. This is to be expected, as buffet usually means low quality. During the morning/early afternoon on weekends, a breakfast buffet is offered, which is delicious. I normally do not eat there at this time because I usually overeat and sicken myself. Biscuits and gravy, pancakes, French toast, bacon, sausage links (my favorite), etc. You can't go wrong with that. I seem to recall that this special weekend "brunch" buffet is offered until 2:00 pm. The salad bar is amazing. Every time. If you like salad, you WILL like Big Boy's salad bar. The selection is a bit limited, but it is always on point. Big Boy's ranch dressing is very delicious, which they also sell in jars by the cash register, along with their AMAZING tartar sauce. The menu, as stated previously, is quite diverse. On offer is everything from burgers, to seafood, to pasta, to home-style meals like meatloaf. I usually get a burger if I am passing on the buffet. The Super Big Boy is a personal favorite of mine. Earlier this evening I had a 1/3 lb. Western BBQ Burger. I have posted pictures of both of these. The Western Burger looks a little gross in the picture, but it was AMAZING. Keep in mind that I ordered this 40 minutes before closing. Food quality can sometimes take a dip when this close to end of business, but not this time! The seafood platter is also very good. My wife loves the spaghetti and the fish sandwich. Big Boy also offers dessert items. Their hot fudge cake is the stuff of legend, although it doesn't seem to be as good now as I remember it from childhood. They have a variety of pies and cakes available, by the slice or whole. During the weekend this place is packed almost all day. The restaurant isn't very big and the tables and booths aren't spaced out very well, so if you don't like crowds or noise, I would avoid it during these times. I have loved Big Boy since childhood, but I guess I never really realized how much I loved it until I checked in earlier and noticed my very high number of check-ins. Don't be fooled by the stereotype of "old people restaurant." I am 32 years old, and I love it dearly. Give it a try, and you just might love it, too. read more

Frisch's Big Boy - Western BBQ Burger - Fast Food Near Me - London, Kentucky

Always a fan of Frische's!!! I haven't had a bad Big Boy sandwich at any of the locations that I visited. I was very disappointed that Frisch's in Gahanna closed. read more

Traveling through and wanted something quick. Quickness got them one star...that's all. Food was pricey, cold, and tasted like carnival food. Very disappointed!! read more

This is by far the cleanest and friendliest Frisch's I have ever dined in. Frisch's is nothing if not consistent and I appreciate that so much about them. The salad and hot bar were freshly stocked and well kept when I stopped in and the service was perfect. read more

This place was really neat. I liked all the big boys that we could take pictures with. We were in a hurry so we didn't get to go in and eat but I wish we would have. The buffet looked really good and fresh. The breakfast burrito was very good and the chicken club was also tasty just wished I could have got it in a wrap. Bathrooms were super clean. They had a ton of parking. You have to go to the light to get to it from the highway, I made the mistake of thinking you could get to it from the hotel/gas station. read more

I've only ever had breakfast here.... But this is now my 'Sunday hub' to have breakfast with friends. I've almost tried all combos and they are good. They even made my fried eggs just the way I like, so full points. The only thing they can improve on is their coffee... Too watery. But overall, good food and good prices. read more

Frischs is ok. I only ate there once but I will definitely consider going back. It's just a downhome place. I've seen them referenced all my life but had never been to one until November 2014 If you are just looking for a relaxed atmosphere with a diner feel, check this place out. read more

Stopped in while traveling through Kentucky to South Carolina earlier this month. I grew up with this chain as a child and couldn't wait to try them again. My niece was excited because she had never had a Big Boy Burger. So at 8am I had French toast and she had a burger. I enjoyed my French toast so much and she said the burger was delicious. We will be back as we make this trip a couple times a year. read more

Look how disgusting this looks.. they don't even care how it looks!!! It looks cold and heated up in the picture!!!! You literally could probably get food poisoning here read more

I'm a sucker for any place that has a giant, old-timey mascot statue out front, but 9 times out of 10, it leads me down the wrong path. This wasn't any different. The food here wasn't terrible, it just wasn't really good either. I avoided the $8 breakfast buffet and just got a basic burger combo with sweet potato fries. With the up charge for the fries, I ended up spending $9 in a mediocre burger on a cold, dried out bun. The sweet potato fries were really fresh and tasted decent. It would have been fun to have a sweet or mustardy dipping sauce to elevate them. The girl who took my order at the window was really sweet and the service was fast, though. They have a meatloaf sandwich on the menu that I'm just enough of a masochist to go back and try, but that's the extent of my interest. read more

Yea I recommend Frisch's I eat here at least 3 times a week possibly more and sometimes more than once a day.

They got rid of their crab legs. It's the only place within an hour drive that serves them. It was the only thing worth getting from Frisch's. #wack read more

This was one of the worse breakfast buffet I have ever eaten! Our waitress comp my meal because I had only taken I bit from what I had on my plate. I do not recommend! read more

Lost my virginity to Big Boys today. I ordered the Turkey Club Combo Large (no tomato) with Sweet Potato Fries, and a side of Ranch. My total was $10.43. We opted to use the drive thru, due to timing. My sandwich was pretty good, especially with the ranch, which was probably one of the best ranch sauces I've ever had. It had little carrots and seasonings in it. The sweet potato fries were good, but the portion size for a large combo seemed small and they were extremely greasy. I probably would return and try their salads or something else. Did I mention the ranch was amazing?!? read more

Great value. Two sides with the platters. The butter with brown sugar to dip your sweet potato fries in is amazing. Burger was good, not the best, but for the price it was good. I'd go back again. Cheaper then some of our fast food bills as a family. read more

Great and friendly service. Food was good. I had the fish with the new spicy tartar sauce and it was great! Salad bar was a little disappointing because all the had was an iceberg medley. But hey, cant really complain for a 5 buck upcharge at all! read more

The service was fast but the food was a waste. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger that came out with a pattie so thin you would had thought it was lunch meat. Do you mean to tell me that you asked a semi truck to run over my burger pattie before you cooked it! My mash potatoes and gravy as a side was literally ice cold, even a microwave would have been preferable. Lastly, I order food for a friend to go and the fries were cold and soft as if they had been sitting around for hours and the chicken fingers were barely even cooked but at least they were warm. Pathetic excuses for a restaurant. read more

We have been in Big Boy all over the place. This is the second, and last time at this one. The first time we had specialty pancakes that were burned. We decided to give it another try because everybody has a bad day. Jokes on us. Apparently they don't even have the pancakes anymore and they have a very limited breakfast menu. Our waitress was pleasant but had no idea what she was doing.She had us completely confused when we asked her questions. Until our food came we didn't know what we were getting. Very disappointed. We wont be back. read more

You get what you pay for, no this isn't going to be the best meal that you tell your friends about. But, it is a good place to go if you are hungry and want something pretty good at a low price and want to get out quick. read more

Let me first say that I love the Big Boy Brand . It historically was an American Icon in the restaurant business. I've had numerous Big Boy Hamburgers most great, some not so. When I stop into this Big Boy restaurant while traveling today and ordered a Big Boy hamburger what they brought me was in no way a Big Boy Hamburger, it was a sad attempt to throw a patty and a bun together. The cook in the back must be a novice. My visit to this Big Boy was a disappointment and what they brought to me for my order of A Big Boy Hamburger was a total joke! read more

Don't call in a order..last Sunday meaning 3 nights ago my husband got me the meatloaf dinner it was burnt very bad. He ask for roll I got toast. I called to let them know. Was left on hold for 20 mins. Very disappointed now I know why he went to Wendy's!! read more
