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.
