I used to go to a Frisco's growing up and loved the food. That location closed down and it saddened me. But then I was driving down Whittier and saw this location! So I had to come and try. Their breakfast burritos are some of the best in town. I can't get over how large they are- I split it between two meals. Service isn't on skates anymore, but they still have a diner vibe inside and car seats as booths. It's cute and feels close to my childhood memories at Frisco's. Hands down recommend the breakfast burritos! read more

Ai Generated photos of food and signs all over the place. How am I supposed to feel comfortable and trusting of a meal, when it's an image created by Ai. You guys are a restaurant, how are you promoting your food and service with fake images. Does a barber fake haircuts? Does a mechanic fake a repair? Why are you faking a meal. The "ambiance" of comfort and traditionalism they claim, is instead trendy laziness & tackiness. Apart from the fries, avoid this place. Overpriced for greasy mediocre food. You pay the "drive-in" tax for a level of service that they stopped doing a year after opening. read more

Pretty rare to see an American Diner now a days and this place nailed it. I got the Frisco Cheeseburger, chili cheese fries, and a drink and it was a reasonable price. They were running a deal on fries and drink i couldn't pass it up. Its your standard cheeseburger with a twist, it's a sourdough bread with parmesan crust. It was fresh and delicious and they cut it so me and my spouse could share. Chili cheese fries, they nailed it. Cheesy and perfectly fried fries. Probably my favorite, although heavy (murica). The decor really brings you back to the 50's, even though I wasn't around yet. Issa vibe. Plenty of parking. I would come back again if people are visiting! read more

This place is awesome. We decided to go here on a whim. Looking for a random place to try. Super cute inside, the thing that elected me the most was there were older cars for booths. I love all the bright colors and car hop esthetics. The staff is super friendly. The food came out on a cute little car hop tray. read more

Food was good. Restaurant was empty in a Sunday afternoon. Lots of tables. But all funky/dirty looking. And the Bathrooms were a big turn off. And because of that, no true desire to return. Poopy toilets are just not appeasing for returning customers. I mean it was empty. Someone could take care of ensuring tables and toilets are clean. read more

We keep coming back here, and honestly, that's probably the best review I can give. At first it was because of the drive-thru convenience, but now it's because we know exactly what we're going to get good food every time. One of my favorite things is that they make their own sodas. It's a fun little touch that makes the place feel different from your typical burger spot. If you decide to eat inside, the whole restaurant has a cool retro vibe, and even the servers stay in character with the theme. It makes the experience feel a little more special than just grabbing a quick meal. If you're there in the morning, do yourself a favor and order a breakfast burrito. Pair it with their salsa and it's honestly one of my favorite breakfasts around. We've also had their burgers and sandwiches several times, and they've never disappointed. It really just depends on what you're craving that day. Some places are fun the first time. This is one of those places that's just as good on the fifth visit as it was on the first, and that's why we keep coming back. read more

I love Frisco's and visit at least once a week. My daughter and I love their zucchini sticks and chill cheese fries. Their breakfast is so good and a great deal. My eggs are always cooked to perfection, toast is perfectly butter, French toast is amazing. And the ladies in drive through are always pleasant. I admire them for being so nice with working such a busy job all dressed up. read more

This place is easily visible from the street, and there's plenty of parking around the building! If you want that classic "car hop" diner spot, this is definitely the place to go. You walk in and the 50's vibe is so much fun! The posters are literally my favorite thing. Also, the car tables where you look like you're sitting in a car itself, I love that so much! Service was great, they made sure that you have everything you need, double check your orders, etc. We started off with the Cobb Salad, it was a hefty size, even for a half salad. Filled with all the goodness of a cobb salad. For the Salad dressing, we got the Chipotle Ranch, which was a perfect pairing. For our mains, we ordered the Pastrami Sandwich and a Bacon Cheeseburger. For the price there was a good chunk of pastrami packed into it. It was juicy and great every bite. The bacon cheeseburger was also really good, the bacon was that perfect crisp and the buns had that light toast on it. For the sides, we got the cruiser fries and the chili cheese fries. They're the same size as the cobb salad. So a good portion. The fries are perfectly seasoned and has a nice crisp to it. The chili had a good spice to it, and I loved the crumbly bacon on the cruiser fries. Order....the....milkshake, I don't care if you take it home to enjoy later, but please do it. The mint chocolate shake was like having Andy's Chocolate Mints, which is one of my top 5 candys (Like come on, one of the best endings to Olive Garden right?). The Churro shake literally had little pieces of churro, as well as having that good size piece on top! Like how else do you finish off a great 50's diner meal! The sodas were also great, it looked like it was it's own brand, but there were fun different flavors! I did a mix of a couple of flavors. It's a great spot for if you're just doing takeaway, a date night, or even a bigger party, plenty of seating. read more

We had dinner here the other night. There is plenty of parking available. The restaurant has a fun 1950s vibe complete with rollerskating carhops and car booths. They have breakfast and great American diner classic food offerings. We had a pastrami sandwich and a bacon cheeseburger. There is so much pastrami packed into the sandwich. The bacon cheeseburger had soft buns, a perfectly cooked patty and crispy bacon. We also got a half order of the chicken Cobb salad. It is a good size for two people and get the Chipotle Ranch dressing. We also got an order of chili cheese fries and cruiser fries. The fries are nice and crispy. Both types of fries are a good portion and quite hearty. Also, save room for their milkshakes. We got a mint chocolate shake and a churro shake. The mint chocolate shake was nice and minty. The churro shake has crispy pieces of churro. Both were the perfect way to finish our meal. Such a fun place with wonderful service and great food. Can't wait to come back again. read more

Came here this evening and had such a great experience. First off, the inside is so cute! It's has a classic 50s-style diner vibe that immediately puts you in a good mood. We tried the chocolate shake, Oreo cookie shake, the chicken pita wrap, and the Frisco Fire burger on a sourdough jalapeño bun, and honestly... everything was delicious. The food tasted fresh and flavorful, and the burger in particular had the perfect mix of spice and crunchiness. The customer service was excellent! Everyone was super kind and welcoming, which always makes the experience that much better. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more items. Really glad we stopped by! read more

Frisco's Carhop Drive-Thru is one of my favorite quick stops in town! I swung by today and got the cheeseburger combo and the club sandwich combo to share, plus a root beer float and a thick chocolate shake. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious--the cheeseburger had that perfect smashed-on-the-griddle taste with melty American cheese, the club was stacked high with turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, and mayo on toasted bread, and the fries were golden and perfectly seasoned. The root beer float was fizzy, creamy perfection, and the chocolate shake was so thick I had to work for every sip. Exactly what you want from a classic experience. The retro vibe inside is adorable--like stepping back into a 1950s carhop diner with neon signs, vintage posters, and checkerboard accents. They've gone all out for Christmas right now with twinkling lights, wreaths, garland, and little retro Santas everywhere; it's honestly one of the most festive spots around this season. Place is always spotless, the parking lot and drive-thru lanes are super convenient, and the staff? Hands-down some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. They greet everyone with a genuine smile, get your order right, and make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. If you're craving classic American drive-in food with a big side of nostalgia and holiday cheer, Frisco's is the spot. Highly recommend. read more

Came in at around 7 on a Wednesday night with the fam for diner food! We have been here before, but my kids always get excited when they see the restaurant. The tables that look like cars, the traffic light , the posters give 1950s nostalgia vibes! Here's what we ordered: The chicken Cobb salad- grilled chicken , bacon, egg and the chipotle ranch dressing definitely go well together! It's perfect to share as the serving is quite generous! The Bacon Avocado burger combo with curly fries and drink! The avocado melts perfectly in with the patty and bacon the portions is also good to share! Kids combo- comes in a car box and fries and drink. The kids chose chicken tenders and ranch. Signature Milkshakes- Neapolitan and Mint Chocolate chip! The food came out pretty fast and we love that everyone was all smiles! read more

This cute 50/60's theme diner has been around in Whittier for decades. Finally made the move to come by. The coolest thing about this diner is the server all roller skate to you with your food. I call that skill! The menu is quite large. Burgers, Sandwiches, Salad, Gyro Wraps milkshakes. Also breakfast menu. I ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich, Jalapeno Burger, Zuchini and Curly Fries , Greek Salad , Oreo Shake. The chicken is crispy and comes with onion ring in the burger which it tasted very good together. The Jalapeno Burger came with a sourdough bread. The greek salad is my other favorite, it came with side of pita bread and love the vinegerette dressing. Overall, great spot for friends get together and family gathering. read more

We got lucky!!!! The roller skating server was there! I've from other yelpers her presence is 50/50. I love everything about this except I wish I lived closer to it! The joint serves classic diner food! The kids meal options are a great value and portion size but those car cutouts are extra! You can pic from nuggets, burger and grilled cheese. You also get fries too! Fried zucchini bomb! Breakfast burrito the size of my fat arm and definitely worth every bite. The Frisco burger is also a delight with so many layers and textures. Chili cheese fries hit the spot. Milk shakes!!! It's soo good! You literally see the ladies behind the counter scooping real ice cream from tubs to make their shakes. I can't decide which one I enjoyed more but loved the cookie, Oreo and chocolate. Inside is a 50's carhop with squished Cadillacs! Everything was how I imagined it would be. My kids loved it! Their soda machine is pretty cool with unique soda flavors too. The best part is you can get your car serviced in the back and enjoy your time inside the diner! read more

Came here just before noon on a weekday to get their supreme breakfast burrito. So good!! It was kind of slow so the food came out pretty fast. There were around 3 girls working on the roller skate. Seems like you don't need a code to use their restroom anymore like they used to. Will be back soon!!! read more

What a fun place to eat! The whole place is decorated like a retro dinner with classic cars props sticking out of the walls and some in the dining area to eat in. The fries were so good. I think we finished almost half our order before getting to our main entrees. I tried both the mint chocolate chip and the cookies and cream shake which were both super amazing. Perfectly sweet and tasty! The colossal burger was delicious. We especially liked the pastrami here. We also got the club sandwich which was a healthier option. Overall good but a tad on the saltier side or it could be because we had like half the fries and our shakes before starting our meal. Although we did over order, the staff was friendly and gave us paper or plastic options to pack our leftovers to go. I definitely would come back since there were so many mouthwatering options it made it hard to decide on what to order. I want to try their zucchini fries and breakfast items the next time I come back. read more

Today was our first time at this location. I had to try their chili cheese fries because on social media a guy said they were really good and that convinced us to go try some. Mathilda the cashier was so friendly and helpful. The ice machine was not working so we asked another employee to assist us, damn was she RUDE. She had such an unhappy face and never said a word to us again RUDE. This won't stop us from visiting again. read more

This Frisco's still has that nostalgic, old-school feel... too bad I can't say the same about the food! What is going on here!? Burger patties so thin, dry and rubbery. Parmesan sourdough so dry it's like choking down saltines! Fries are basic so they don't make up for a bad burger. If they'd just put some effort in the food, they might actually get some business, can't get by on looks. read more

Went to Frisco's for the fun vibe and throwback meals. The restaurant itself is clean and well maintained. It has such a fun, nostalgic decor with the pictures of famous people, statues and especially the car seats. A definite must for kids of all ages! The service was done with a smile. You order at the counter then they deliver your food to your table. If you are lucky you will have a traditional carhop girl deliver it to you on skates! The food was just as delicious as the decor is fun. What we ordered: Classic bacon avocado $10.49 Chipotle bacon cheeseburger $9.49 Tuna sandwich (new) $ 10.99 Pastrami sandwich (new) $12.99 Chicken Pita Wrap $11.49 Chicken Cobb salad $9.99 Parmesan zucchini stick $6.99 Onion rings $6.89 Vanilla milkshake $5.99 Chocolate milkshake $5.99 read more

How can a freaking car hop 50's joint not make hot dogs? I don't get it. Being that mostly all car hops make hot dogs except Friscos.

Rolling into Frisco's carhops was a wheely good idea, because here... food literally comes to you on skates! LOVE the fun atmosphere - the decor and music transports you back into the 1950s. The seating is so creative, and you can actually sit in little cars! Love how the seats matched our desserts: mint ice cream and strawberry smoothie to the mint green and pink vehicles. The diner food was great, and really huge portions! Surprised by how MASSIVE the salad was. Chicken was seasoned so well that it didn't even need dressing on the salad for me - salty and savory. I also got the Frisco chicken sandwich, which comes with crunchy toasty bread with cheese on outside for extra flavor and fun. Service was friendly and welcoming. You can either dine in (which is more of an experience) and park in the small lot in the back or grab drive-through if you're on the go. Can't wait to come back! read more

I have had this place bookmarked for years after Timmy S raved about his visit. So recently, I went to Frisco's Carhop, located in Whittier, for the first time. I went here during dinner time. The place has a parking lot and also a drive-thru for people looking for takeout. I walked into the place and felt like I was transported to a different time period which I have never been in but have always wanted to be at! This place is filled with classic car booths, a Betty Boop statue, and what I would think is the same era as Grease the movie! You order the food in the front and from there you set the number on your table. A lady will come on by with roller skates to give you, your meal! Which is so unique and very different! I had ordered a chicken salad with the bacon on the side and my salad dressing is on the side as well. I picked ranch as my dressing. Overall it tastes so good because it was just so hot outside and a nice salad during the summer months makes you cool down a bit. For my table I also had chili cheese fries, onion rings, a pastrami sandwich, and the Frisco's fire burger which is spicy and has a tasty cheese bread on the outside, that was just fire. I love the jalapeños mixed with the cheese on the bread, that is out of this world. You've got to get a shake here and I decided to get a churro shake because I am a complete fan of churros. Love them! Overall I haven't lived in that era but I still believe this is a great place to come and check out. read more

So far, I've ate here three times through drive-through. The service was fast friendly and every item I've ordered has been delicious. I'm very picky about my gyros and this was good 9/10. French toast was also good nothing fancy, but it was good. So far my favorite is the pastrami breakfast burrito. I will be going back to try their chili breakfast burrito. I also like how the restaurant on the outside has an old school drive in diner type a look. read more

Great service and cool concept! -Zucchini Sticks: I excluded the parmesan and I liked how the batter remains intact and it's made to order. This was great with the BBQ sauce (ranch is also available). -Chipotle Chicken Sandwich: Crispy onion rings and decent size. -French Toast Combo with sausage: A great option for brunch with the ability to customize the eggs. French toast was moist and a bite of this with the syrup was perfection. -Tuna Salad *one of their new items*: Awesome creamy tuna salad with a great tomato and bell pepper pieces. Loved the side pita pieces that comes with this. Note: Burgers here refer to sandwich-like bread versus the Timeless menu refers to your typical seeded buns. read more

Wow! What a blast from the past. I grew up loving the Frisco's in City or Industry and have fond memories of eating with my family before having a family of my own. Finding this spot is easy, as it's right on Whittier Blvd with a large sign. The parking lot is a little tight considering the drive-thru and auto shop in the back, but there was enough parking for me to visit. I parked and walked my way to the entrance. As I walked up, you can see the famous Frisco classic car in front, but this time its a pink front bumper on the building - keeping it on brand! I walked in and the ladies working were on their skates, ready to take my order. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming and inviting. I ordered a kid's meal, which comes with fries and a drink, a kid's strawberry milkshake, as well as the option of a cool paper classic car. For myself, I absolutely HAD to have the fried zucchini - it is always a favorite! I also ordered a grilled chicken Cobb Salad with Ranch dressing. They had a pretty good selection of salad dressings, including Greek and thousand island, just no blue cheese which was fine because the ranch is really good! Everything on the menu was very reasonably priced as well. I was given my drink cups and a number to take to my table. The soft serve drinks were all housemade with cane sugar. I loved mixing the cola and cherry flavors. My kids loved the bright and open atmosphere of this casual family diner. The music was nostalgic in the best way and the decor was so bright and fun. The place is also dog friendly with outside seating on the patio as well. My food was brought out in a matter of minutes by the cool girls on their skates. Props to them for being so graceful and careful as my kids wandered around in excitement. The strawberry shake was the first item at our table and made all of our eyes go wide. Awesome presentation! Then came the Cheeseburger in the cool classic car. The star of this show, for me, was my salad and fried zucchini. The quality of the food was obvious by the presentation and aroma coming from the chicken. My first bite was the zucchini - perfectly battered and seasoned, perfect ratio of batter to zucchini, and served HOT and crispy. Just a slight dip in some ranch dressing and I was transported to my happy place. The Cobb salad was a great choice because it was loaded with the savory, Greek-inspired char-grilled chicken, avocado, bacon, tomato, egg, and sprinkled cheese. This salad was very satisfying and the added pita was a nice touch. I left here satisfied and my kids in a great mood. It was a perfect family dining experience and a blast from the past with both the nostalgia and vibe that Frisco's brings. There is a drive thru that would be perfect for takeout orders or those busy days when parking is full. 5 stars for a delicious and fun family diner. read more

I hate to say this but this is all hype on IG only. :( pictures and videos make it look so cool w the cars and waitresses in skates delivering your yummy looking food but it's far from that. They have nice decorations and the cool cars but everything looks old and dirty ... table was dirty and so was the floor and it was early in the day ... whoever closed did not do a good job or who ever cleaned the tables didn't do a good job either. Service was ok.. food took a while and we were the only ones there. My coffee took a long time . Got it way after my food. Food wasn't all that either .. ordered my eggs over medium and got over hard. The parm crust on the bread is not good. We got a salad, kids burger, French toast breakfast, the burger and fries zucchini. I think we only liked the fries :( Decor on wall is nice and loved the Betty Boop statue read more

Such a cool and fun diner! On a busy Saturday evening, we found a parking spot in the back. The diner has vibrant pastel pink and blue classic hotrod booths, regular table and chairs, and high tables and chairs to dine in. Decor is very 50s style including a portrait of Elvis on the wall. The ladies are in "carhop" uniforms and there was one server on roller skates. We saw her carrying a tray full of plates and skillfully taking them to a table while skating! On this evening, they were quite busy so the hotrod booths were unavailable. We did find a regular table but it was needed bussing even though it already had the tabletop sign on it "needs bussing." My hubby graciously moved the tray to the tray station and put some hand sanitizer on the table and wiped it off with napkins. You order at the counter and the roller skating server brings it out to you. Both the cashier and server were pleasant. Food was pretty standard diner food-- chili cheese fries, BLT for me, patty melt like burger for the hubby, and regular fries for me. Bacon was in generous portions in my sandwich. These are cooked to order. Kinda tasty. We liked what we got. For dessert we had a vanilla shake for the hubby and rocky road ice cream for me. They use Thrifty ice cream, a solid option! Unfortunately, the restroom needed A LOT of attention. It was gross. :( There are a lot of photo opportunities (will share more in a bit) with the various 50s decor. You can purchase your sandwich to be in a 50s paper hotrod for 1.29 if you like. There were samples on the counter. I was taking photos with my plushie on one and the sweet server noticed and gave me one for free. True score of 3.5 but rounded down for much needed areas of improvement. 3 stars! read more

Our first time there, was exited for the experience the 50's ambiance vibe, BUT we WERE GREATLY DISAPPOINTED... as we walked in we had to place our order at the front counter, (would have prefer to have been waited on like in the "Happy Days" show) than would have been a nice surprise. To our surprise only 1 server was in 50's uniform - and seems like she lacked roller skating abilities. The cooks too were in plain clothes -would have been cool to have them in 50's diner uniforms. Drive thru associate was in plain jeans all in black and the cashier as well, they did Not contribute to the vibe. Also the main eating area was dirty, patrons were cleaning ("car washing") the tables themselves, floors had stepped on fries, (note- there was only about 6-8 patrons) within that 1 hour plenty of time to have associates clean the area. . Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this establishment. read more
