"Austin will lose the Frisco Shop on July 29. It’s more than a diner, it is a relic of the past. A place where, to this day, any walk of life can go eat a down-home meal, delivered by a kind server who has worked there for decades. Where children drink miniature mugs of root beer and maybe get some extra fries from the kitchen. Where parents dig into a belly-busting burger or chicken-fried steak — because, to be clear, the Frisco is not a place where anyone leaves hungry. The interior is too dark for social media-perfect photos, but the love and commitment to quality hasn’t faded one notch since it opened in 1953." - Erin Russell
