    Toilet
    Luis A.

    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.

    Had to pay for the little paper car, it's not included with your meals- another disappointment towards the vibe.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Friscos Car Hop is such a fun and nostalgic spot! The environment gives total retro diner vibes with cute decor that makes you feel like you stepped back in time. The burgers were super yummy--juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. And the shakes? SO good, thick, creamy, and the perfect sweet treat. If you're looking for a cute, feel-good place to grab a classic burger and shake, this spot is definitely worth the stop!

    They have drive thru!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Chili cheese fries, zucchinis two burgers can't remember what we got but they were good

    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

    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.

    root beer float. Not bad.
