1. Ordered SOUP, salad, and fruit bar with sandwhich. Bowls and signs for chili and veg, but no soup. They don't put soup out till 2:00???! 2. No croutons, egg, or bacon bit on salad bar. Sign for ranch was in front of bleu cheese. No spoons in sesame seeds. Had to pick up the canister. 3. Wife's buddy boy came with regular yellow cheese (supposed to be Swiss). Didn't ask, just brought it with the yellow cheese 4. One daughter asked for ranch, didn't get it. 5. Another daughter asked for no tomato, got tomato. 6. Third daughter didn't get her food. Had to re-order it. Everyone else was done eating by the time she got hers. 7. Went to restroom and feet were sticking to the floor, sink was filthy. 8. Understaffed. Our waitress was serving too many tables. Working as fast as she could but was apologizing to us and every table around us. read more

Food was ok but mostly bland, the staff were kinda rude to other costumers. Overall, good service, ok food and not too dirty but kinda

I stopped here for a quick lunch. It had been a long time since I've been here. They haven't missed a beat. Still the same fast service and a great cheeseburger. The atmosphere was quiet today, but it's Monday. The staff I encountered were friendly and welcoming. I look forward to coming back again soon. read more

I'm surprised with the low reviews we stopping at lunch time the wait wasn't horrible the restaurant was clean and food was good. We got our order to go and we're satisfied with everything. read more

Frisch's Big Boy - Burgers - Diners Near Me - Madison, Indiana

What has happened here? Was there on 9/30 and again on 10/8. Service was terrible waitresses awful and not at all friendly. Slow to seat you slow to wait on you and on 10/8 could not keep breakfast bar stocked. read more

Poor service and food. They deserve some leniency due to COVID, but even that is not enough. Food is worse than a regular fast food restaurant. Poor quality. Lettuce was stale and old. Ranch was expired, yet still served. They are trying to have people order up front and then seat them at a table to wait. This could be a good idea, but they are just making people angry. People have to wait in line to find out that they have to place their order immediately and if you aren't ready, you have to get out of line and then back in. There should be menus closer to the entrance and multiple signs saying what is happening. This way people can be more prepared and speed up the process. Oh, and you do not get the same menu options through drive through vs inside. read more

Frisch's Big Boy - a salad in a plastic container - Diners Near Me - Madison, Indiana

Tony and I usually go here for Breakfast. We try not to be that typical older couple but we seem to be getting more and more into that pattern. Both in our mid 50s now, not 2 spring chickens any longer. We enjoy their breakfast menu but we are not into the whole buffet thing. Never got into those much because of germs and stuff. I usually go with the breakfast norms, nothing fancy. I can't handle the sweets, hurts my belly. Sugars give me a headache. Tony on the other hand, waffles, pancakes, pastries...the works...but every now and then I sneak a bite or two. read more

I wouldve given less than one star if i could. Our servers name was Melissa. It took us about 10 minutes to be seated and then once we were finally seated we decided to eat at the breakfast bar and we were halfway through our first plate before we even got our drinks and then she continued to say she will be back with our straws. after that we never saw our server again and we had to go up and ask for straws and then once we finally were done eating she never gave us our check and all of the other tables around us never got their drinks and we had to go up to the front to get our check. How does a server never come back to check on their tables within 30 minutes. Absolutely terrible service. read more

Need an affordable, yet filling breakfast? Look no further! Everything on the buffet was fresh and delicious. They were attentive to keeping everything filled up and keeping the diner's bellies happy! The place is clinically clean inside and out! Everyone working there is cheerful and polite. I don't think you can go wrong stopping by for any meal! read more

See all

I am in deep regret of going to this frischs the food was cold and just flat out not good. The only good thing was eve

Awful. Waited a long time to get seated. You now have to order your breakfast as you come in The girl that rang me up messed up my check twice and also added a charge for something I didn't order. Eggs were cold toast was basically not toasted. Half the people eating there not wearing masks entering it while walking around. read more

The breakfast bar oh what to say , the gravy looked like sludge, the sausage patties were so dry they looked like jerky potatoes and sausage links were good the people working here are super nice and wuick to get tour drinks but as far as breakfast bar goes would have to recommend to go somewhere else if you want a good breakfast read more

This has been the absolute worst experience in a restaurant in a long time. I got here and they had the breakfast bar open. It looked quite appetizing at first, but boy was I in for a rude awakening. I got to get my first plate and I try the food and it's pretty damn cold. I say something to the waitress about it and she goes and warms some food up for me. Sure enough the heating mechanism in the bar went out so all of the food was cold. The food that the waitress brings to my table smells like spoiled food. I paid $10 for absolute trash. I don't recommend anyone going to this establishment. read more

I love the food but the waitress I had really needs to be retrained, very rude no refills no check back just so bad

From 12/24/12: Get the Super Big Boy! My siblings, husband and I (all from Texas) dined here a few times, while in town. That delicious burger BLEW. MY. MIND. We came here and ate that burger twice, even though we were there for less than a week. read more

While it is a buffet, Frisch's has a menu with many options available, at any time of the day. The food is usually solid, the service can vary. In recent visits, the service quality is improving, especially during the early Sunday morning rush. read more

My family ate here on a Friday night a few weeks ago and we had a terrible experience! There was literally 3 other tables in the entire restaurant filled, yet we couldn't even get any service! I got the soup and salad bar to go with my regular meal and had to go up front to ask for a spoon because there were none at the bar. She brings me a tea spoon....we ended up missing our prior engagement that evening because we had to wait an hour for our food (not sure why since the place was empty). We had to get up and find our waitress for refills on our drinks! My husband's chicken strips were raw in the middle. Kids were happy with their meals of a burger and fries, and some kind of grilled chicken. I ordered a club wrap and she brought me a club sandwich. When I said this was supposed to be a wrap, my waitress looked at me like I was stupid and said, "Uh, well, do you want me to send it back and get you something else?" I told her I would just keep the sandwich since I didn't want to have to wait another hour for my food. I got no apology, nothing off of my bill, and I left NO tip. Will never go back! read more

Really love the atmosphere of the restaurant and staff, the food is moderately priced, and it tastes amazing.

Frisch's is pretty reliable, family-friendly fare. Decent prices. I usually get a bacon burger. Their onion rings are above average. The salad bar actually seems like a pretty nice option, although I've never selected it. I have done the breakfast bar, which has a surprisingly nice selection. My inlaws seem to love the liver and onions, but I'm not quite prepared to go there myself. read more

Our waitress was great! She actually was the hostess and saw we hadn't been served in several minutes of waiting and waited on us. The breakfast was lacking everything and waitresses in the back were standing around even one was eating. I also heard negative comments coming from the own staff! read more

Great service. Unfortunately my wife's breakfast was cold. Always hesitant to order off the menu at a buffet. Ham was tasty in my omelet.

Not a good place for good food unless you want a burger and hot fudge cake. The entrees are not appealing and they advertise cod for their dinner and it's haddock! Yuck! What happened to truth in advertising? The big boy is still my go to! read more

Placed a large order for myself and staff members. When i arrived to pick up the food i was informed they did not have the items to complete one of my orders. Order was placed 30 minutes before being picked up. One would think they would have called and informed us that we needed a second option. Once getting back to work with the food i noticed food was missing. As i called to let them know that food was missing i told them i would pick it up. After everyone else examined their food they also noticed food was missing. We called them back and asked if they could bring it to us due to so many orders being messed up. The response was rude, stating that they WILL NOT be delivering. Once someone went to pick up the food, the food was very hastily handed over. No apology or thank you given. The workers were very rude and unhelpful! It had been several months since we had order from them due to the service being so bad. we were hoping that since we waited so long it would be better. that was not the case and we will not be back! read more

Their service is terrible. I've ate at the Madison Frisch's multiple times and I have yet to experience good service.

drive through service is fast and friendly--fries are always cold food is overpriced ,and why do you have to order a super big boy to get a regular sized one ???? read more
