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

Love the ambiance and that they have little car booths! You can get a good burger and breakfast here. I do like the Whittier location better than the Lakewood just because of the booths and it's bigger. read more

Definitely indulgent and absolutely delicious cheat meals here! I loved the fried zucchini & onion rings. The OG breakfast burrito was just so comforting, packed with flavor as well. Portions are very generous and so worth it. Ordered the fried chicken salad as a lighter option (even though it wasn't - but I'm not complaining haha). Classic carhop style burger combos that had plenty of everything! Can't wait to stop by for another cheat meal 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

Frisco's Carhops - Had to pay for the little paper car, it's not included with your meals- another disappointment towards the vibe. - American Near Me - Whittier, California

It's not a carhop and the waitstaff is definitely not on roller skates. They also do not serve malts All they have are shakes which I can pretty much get anywhere. What happened? Nobody has malts anymore? The Frisco's that I used to go to in Industry was also not a carhop, but at least the wait staff was on rollerskates. AND THEY HAD MALTS!!! read more

I visited on a Sunday for a late breakfast early lunch and the place was pretty empty other than a few cars in the drive-through. The inside was clean, but not meticulous. Definitely could've used a little bit of love. However, the food was really tasty and came out rather quickly. I really enjoyed the egg burrito and the salsa were both really tasty too. read more

This unique retro diner has super cute car booths and roller-skating servers! My friends and I ordered the Frisco bacon & avocado combo, 4 chicken tenders combo, chicken cobb salad, and signature & churro shake. The bacon & avocado burger is a must try! The chicken tenders were juicy and not dry, goes perfectly with ranch. The staffs were friendly with cute outfits! I went on an early Friday night and there was no wait. Plenty of parking in the parking lot. Overall, it's a perfect place for casual outings and great for family with kids. Definitely Instagram worthy. I will definitely bring my niece and nephews here next time. read more

Great ambiance, but dirty. Food is meh. Love the concept and the design but it's like they stopped cleaning and maintaining the place after they opened. Tabletops were sticky with crumbs in the seats, lots of just debris on the floor, sticky bathroom floors etc. Even food scraps on the floor in the kitchen in plain view of where you order at the cashier. Food is just pretty average - classic burger, cob salad, and kids chicken tenders seemed like straight from the freezer Sysco food supplier fare - nothing special or remarkable. Glad we tried this place once, but won't be coming back. For an amazing burger, try Krunch Burger about 5 min up the street. read more

Frisco's Carhops - Nice concept but dirty. Sticky tabletops and lots of random crumbs in the seats and floors. - American Near Me - Whittier, California

Walked in and loved the vibe. Very oldie and loved the colors. The staff uniform is cute with the roller blades. Service was good. Ordered the classic cheeseburger and Cobb salad. It was delicious. Would love to come back. Unfortunately I took away one star because it was a little messy. Our table was supposed to be wiped down but the waitress on the blades just grabbed the sign took it and didn't wipe our table which was dirty from the prior customers that ate there. The waitress can smile a little more she was just to serious. She definitely needs more training on how to greet customers and make it more of a positive vibe you can feel her energy and was not welcoming. read more

Located off Whittier Bl. in Whittier. Parking is not too big here so it can fill up. This place has the 50/60's vibe the decor all of that of an old 50/60's cafe where they bring your food via on roller skates. The food is mainly burgers, fries and shakes but they also have other things like salads , breakfast, burritos , chicken sandwiches and fried sides like zucchini. The staff here is very friendly and nice. Service is also pretty fast and efficient. I got the original Frisco cheeseburger w/ fries also got the Greek salad which was huge I was thinking a small side like salad. And got a chocolate mint shake for my dessert. Overall this place is very nice and love the decor as well. The food was good the Frisco burgers are on a sourdough bread coated with Parmesan cheese. It was yummy. read more

There's such a cool vibe here. You feel like you're thrown back in the the 1950s decor with this diner. They have good AC here which is super nice given the summer heat. I love the classic strawberry milkshake. It makes you feel nostalgic. Their cobb salad is huge and delicious. It's helps balance out the chicken sandwhich and fries. Food came out hot. Overall, it was a nice lunch spot. Sometimes the waitress also rollerblade in. Price is average, but the portions are huge. Parking lot is available. read more

Well, I have scouted this place for a year or two before I came. The Instagram boasts of picture worthy scenes with servers on skates. It was nothing like what the Instagram portrayed it as. The restaurant was easy to locate off the street with decent parking. Walking in only one half of the restaurant had air conditioning. Not one single waitress was on skates. The food was subpar both patties tasted extremely bland. The chili cheese fries had more chili than they did fries. They forgot the ketchup and ranch had to walk back up to get it. Food came and the shake wasn't ready till 10 minutes after the food. The bathroom was downright disgusting. The floor was wet with mud all over it. Only one roll had toilet paper. The bathroom also didn't smell the best. Didn't eat my burger and took 2 sips of the shake and tossed it. Huge disappointment and will not be back anytime soon if ever. read more

Definitely not what I expected the restaurant to be. I walked in through the patio door, and didn't know if I should sit anywhere, wait for the lady that was cleaning to acknowledge me??? She didn't, lol! So my next move was walking through the dining area and that's where I see the menu and register! Now I wait about 5-7 minutes until one of the three young ladies talking about chismes, (That I did enjoy listening to) finally says "Welcome"! Sweet girls! The music playing was nice, not to loud. We easily carried a conversation without yelling across the table. The servers bring your order to the table in skates!! So cute!!! I love it. I got the cheeseburger combo and zucchini sticks! Delicious and definitely will order this again. Zucchini sticks were looong! I had to go ask for a side of ranch not sure if it the order come with ranch, so if you do order to go and like ranch... MAKE SURE it's in the bag before driving off! My burger was perfect, tasty, juicy and not ridiculously big. The fries are amazing too, not sure if they are fried with flour or panko but they have an extra crispy layer! I will be back to try something else on the menu until then I will be dreaming of them fries!! Al rato vato :) thank you for reading! read more

wow. The food has gotten so much better! The vibe was always fun, but in the past year they have also managed to improve the food. I think there is more variety. New management?!? The Pastrami sandwhich for instance was very good. Keep up the good work. read more

We came here for Father's Day! Online this place looks Amazing. The reason I gave 2 stars. It's because of the food. I order a burger and it wasn't good. The meat is frozen. Didn't have good taste at all. Don't know how they stay in busy. And.... The waitress that brings your food! She's not a happy camper. She brings your food to the table and that's it! No smile, no "do you need anything else?" Never coming here again!!! No wonder this place is empty!!!!!! read more

Their fried zucchini are so good. I called it in and picked it up myself. The manager helped me very nice and professional. I went to the drive through I really would know how the inside looked I'll tell you this I will be going back for more. They do have soft serve ice-cream yummy read more

I always go drive thru but I decided to finally go inside and it is a cute little gem! I always get a burger combo grilled onions and chili cheese fries its soooo good! I also get the tuna melt and its delicious . They have excellent customer service. Definitely stop by inside for the 50's experience read more

Went here on a weekend just before they stopped serving breakfast at 3pm. Service was quick, friendly, and they even had a girl on roller skates deliver our food. The atmosphere is casual with a fun 50s vibe with classic cars for seating. As for the food, the breakfast is really good here, don't sleep on the French toast combo! It's served crispy, with warm butter and syrup and two fat tasty sausages (or bacon) as well as eggs, cooked to order. The breakfast combo came with a free iced caramel coffee or hot coffee. Kids meals come out in served in a cute paper car. Fun for the kids. The burgers are good here too, if you order one of each (breakfast and sandwich) you can share with whomever you're with to get your sweet and savory fix. read more

This place used to be a nice place to eat at, or pickup food from drive through!!! Now, my family and I will NEVER RETURN.....usually it's hit or miss on the drive through, (can be kind or should not be working in dealing with customers). who takes your or and make sure you get what you paid for!!! Today my wife ordered through the drive through and they left out the fries.....we are Major fry junkies. There many options......NOT FRISCOS read more

Friscos Carhops - Whittier Blvd Nostalgia in Every Bite If you're craving a blast from the past with a side of creamy indulgence, Friscos Carhops delivers. The tuna salad sandwich is refreshingly crisp, with just the right mayo-to-crunch ratio, tucked between toasted bread that's got that perfect diner griddle kiss. Pair it with one of their thick milkshakes--vanilla is a classic, but strawberry hits different-and you've got a combo that screams retro comfort. The vibes? Immaculate. Chrome accents, neon signs, and that jukebox charm make you feel like you've stepped into a '50s postcard. Whether you're parked outside or dining in, it's a slice of Americana that Whittier Blvd read more

This place is really cute and colorful and great for photos. The decor is super fun and takes you back to the 50's even if you were born after that lol. I'm a Vegan so I was limited to certain foods. I loved their Greek Salad it was fresh and delicious. The onion rings & curly fries were good. They do have an Impossible Burger as an option but I can't eat that. I wanted a milkshake so bad because it's one of my favorite desserts to indulge in but I can't have dairy. It would be nice if they added more vegan options to their menu. It's a cool burger joint for family or if you want to go with your friends. read more

I saw this place and looked really cool. Went inside and most of the inside got rented out to a private party. No problem went to order the Frisco burger, fries, and a drink. The burger was terrible. The patty was thin and grayish looking. The sourdough bread wasn't great either. I really wanted to like this place amd support a local restaurant, but the burger was terrible. read more

Cute restaurant! It's very elaborate with all the themed decor, tables/seating, music, and some employees on rollerskates. Even though it's a quick-service restaurant, the staff are still helpful and everyone is friendly. The Chipotle Bacon Cheeseburger, Frisco's Onion Rings, and Cruiser Fries are all great. Can't go wrong with these classic diner foods! read more

Good food just one really bad observation, caught the waitress pulling out ketchup packs from the trash and placing them back with the others in the condiment box. That's supremely disgusting because what other unclean things do they practice there? read more

This place is just as great for dine-in as it is for the drive-through, which makes it a go-to for me no matter the mood. Dining in is great for the kids and you get to sit in one of their classic car booths. I love their sandwiches; they're stacked, flavorful, and satisfying, and the fried onion rings with ranch are always the perfect side. The portions are hearty, and the service is usually quick and friendly. read more

Unique and fun atmosphere! My family and I stopped here on a recent road trip and we were not disappointed. We arrived a little after 8pm on Saturday night and they were not busy. The main dining room looks like the front walls open up like a garage door to create a bit of an open air dining room, but with it being late and a little cooler, these were closed. I imagine during the day they are open. The overall theme of a 50's diner is cute. There is a lot of seating in the dining area. There are 2 dining tables that look like the back of an old Cadillac. This of course is everyones favorite place to sit. The food is basically burgers & shakes with a few other items. You will notice there are "Frisco" Burgers and "Basic" Burgers. The difference is that the Frisco burgers are served on toasted sourdough bread and the basic is your regular hamburger bun. We ordered the "Frisco" style, which was fantastic. It almost reminds me of Texas Toast. The burgers are a good size. I am a big guy with a huge appetite, and I considered doing a "Double". I am glad I didn't because I had a hard time finishing my regular burger. A must-try on the menu is their "Parmesan Zucchini Sticks". One order is 6 pieces and they are delicious. The staff here are great. When they bring your food out to you, they were rollerskates! Very fun! Only downside to our visit was the cleanliness. Throughout the restaurant, it just looked messy. We did come late in the evening, but they didn't appear to have staff that was focused on busing tables and wiping counters and the drink station down. The bathrooms were the worst part of the cleanliness. Overall, we enjoyed our food. If you are in the area, it's worth a try. read more

Well, you can rock it and you can roll it do the chomp and even stroll it at the hop! When the record starts spinning and you're eating and grinnin you know you be chilling at the hop! So let's go to the hop! Oh baby! Keeping that old school vibe alive at this delicious burger dive! We ordered some of the favorites and some of the recommended items. They have a Jukebox and a girl on skates bringing out your order. I thought having a couple car like tables were really cool, just check out my pics. The parking is very limited and I'm thinking that's because it's mostly a drive through spot. The chicken burger with onions rings were pretty good and paired with one of their shakes definitely hit the spot. The service was amazing and I hope everyone gets the same experience as I did when hitting this place up. Parking is limited and it's mostly a drive through burger joint. And that's my take on this OG spot, Peace out read more

I love Frisco's! I'm there several times a month. The breakfast burritos are the best! Unfortunately, the service that I have received lately has been terrible. No matter what time of day I go, it's been bad. I've gone in the morning and my order has been wrong. I've gone to the drive thru in the evening and the girl at the window was so rude. She acted like she couldn't care less about her job. Today, I placed an online order. It was supposed to be ready in 15 min according to the confirmation text. I got there a little after 20 min. The girl at the window didn't even know about my order. She said they never received it. I showed her the confirmation text. she ended up making my order but it took so long, I was late going back to work. I'm not sure if management has changed or what? Please do better, I really don't want to stop going to Frisco's! read more

We've been ordering the egg breakfast burritos for years and recently (past few orders) the quality and portions of what is in the burrito has been disappointing. They used to have the perfect consistency of egg, potatoes, cheese and green onions recently you don't know what you're going to get one time we got one just full of potatoes and hardly any egg the other time full of egg and no potatoes recently we got another one full of potatoes and one little sliver of egg. Please go back to consistency because you guys had the best burritos in town not to mention the best sauce for the burritos. I hope next order will be more consistent and better than the past few times. read more

Breakfast was tasty and reasonably priced. Ordered a breakfast burrito and it was huge.

I used to visit Friscos when it was on Los Coyotes Diagonal off the traffic circle in Long Beach. It was so fresh, the parm bread freshly cooked and piping hot, the amazing cold beers, the vibe of the roller skaters. We loved it. I even travelled to City of Industry to visit your location out there when they moved. It was just as I remembered. I recently discovered this new location (to me) right down the street. I was surprised to see Friscos is now a drive through restaurant (what happened to car hop?), seating is sparce and no one on roller skates. Another thing that alarmed me, the upcharge on kids meals that ended up costing more than just getting a simple frisco burger and fries. But what upset me more than anything was the fact the bread was cold. Pre made. Had no crunch or delicious flavor. The whole sandwich fell flat. I think they must all be precooked (the bread) to make it a fast eat thru a drive thru. But I can tell you it was one of the worst burgers I've had in awhile after dragging my whole family there excidetly to have them try the most delicious parm crusted bread/ burger. I was so beyond disappointed. I hope you guys work on getting fresher or at least hot bread back and stop pre making it so ahead of time. I am so beyond bummed that it seems friscos is not the same as it once was. Also, the guy refused to sub a small Greek salad for fries which bugged me since that's always what I have done at both previous locations. The whole thing was such a bummer. I thought it would be helpful to hear this from someone who previously raved and drived well over an hour to visit your previous locations. Take out the drive thru and bring back the roller skates. read more

Headed through the drive-thru, took a bit of a wait; knew it was being made to order. The place looks like it has a vibe , the employees were friendly and did their services with a smile. These meals were good and better than average comfort foods.. I'd come back to try other items on the menu... the burrito wasn't much greasy, I requested bacon extra crispy and got exactly that!.. the pancakes were better than the eggs and bacon was in pieces (not strips), no hash browns and syrup included. read more

A fun find in Whittier where you can dine in a car like booth and food is delivered via roller skates. It's a diner so expect things like burgers, fries, salads, shakes and stuff in between. The chicken pita was delicious and jammed packed with a good portion of grilled chicken. The French fries were outstanding. They had a secret coating on them, which made them very unique. My guy had the classic cheeseburger and a milk shake. There is indoor and outdoor eating. Along with a drive thru. Prices are reasonable and restaurant is family friendly. read more

Decided to give this place a second chance as our first time there it was neither a hit or miss, the food was good but the wait was pretty long, there were many cars so it was understandable.... Decided to try today because it was empty with no cars in drive thru and inside looked fairly empty maybe 2-3 people. Taking our order took longer than needed and the woman taking our order seemed annoyed to be on drive thru duty. After we ordered we rolled right up to the window and waited and waited and waited and after 10 minutes of no one coming to the window not to even acknowledge us, say hello, charge us for the food, say sorry for the wait--- nothing, even though they saw us thru the window multiple times as they passed by back and forth we decided to just leave and head to another place to eat which sucked because I was looking forward to trying the pastrami. Oh well we tried read more

food was good i will say however the atmosphere of the dining every table was dirty including some with just napkins spread across however the guy at the front was pretty nice but when my boyfriend ordered the girl was very snappy and trying to rush him while ordering and when she brought the icecream she placed it down in a angry manner. My best friend also had this problem with the same girl being quiet rude and snappy while they were trying to order. The icecream did take about 10 minutes to get there which I dont mind to wait but when there is no one else in there (besides maybe one couple) it makes me wonder why. The girl also did not have any roller skates on like as advertised online. read more
