9 Southern California Spots for Actual Carhop Service | Eater LA

"Established in 1981, Frisco’s took its cues from 1950s diner culture. Waitresses — sometimes on rollerskates — serve food carside. Owner Takis Stathoulis has a full-on ice cream parlor available, while introducing a bit of Greek elements to the menu, including souvlaki." - Mona Holmes

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

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! It was a litttle busy so I totally understand why the table we chose was a little dirty.

Pretty delicious burger/breakfast place. They have a lot of shake options and they added some things like salads and tuna sandwiches which looked very tasty. I went pretty early in the day and it wasnt very packed, but by 11am they were very busy. Cool place to eat and take pics.

This place has a 50/60s feel with a good soundtrack playing while you eat good food. The waitresses skate around and serve you food which is so cool. The food is delicious. You have to try the pastrami sandwich. If you have a lot of people with you, the family pack is perfect. Some of the table are inside old school cars. I thought that was creative and nice. I got the chili cheese fries and they was hella good. My favorite part were the shakes. I looove shakes and they have so much variety. Love this place.

OMG!!! We are in love!!! It was our first time here and upon walking into this place you're transported into an oldschool diner from the 50's. There's two giant pink & turquoise cars /booths in the middle of additional seating. I was super impressed by the right off the bat amazing service from a gentleman named Arturo who took our order. He was helpful & very kind. 😊 He answered all our 1st time questions and made wonderful suggestions. We took him up on a few of them... like the new pastrami sandwich. It was so good and filled up. I loved it!!! Definitely, a must try! 😋 The rest of my family ordered burgers and if you want more meat... I highly recommend a double. 🍔 We also had curly fries that my daughter loved. She a fan of them and says, these are some of the best she's had. I also had the freshly made zucchini sticks and the taste of them was out of this world. Sturdy made to the tooth. Like really good! We also had the chili, cheese fries and they really hit the mark of some of the best. Lastly, we got an extra special surprise from Arturo for a belated celebration visit for my son Noah.🍨 Giselle, and her girls came out to sing Noah Happy Birthday!!! He was super surprised & so very much grateful for the kind gesture. I would like to finally recommend the cookie with ice cream on it. It was sooooo good! 😋 Thank you, Frisco's, Arturo, Giselle, and staff for making our Saturday afternoon outing a real great one. We can't wait to return! 😍💯

The food was pretty good. The first time I went, I ordered the Chipotle bacon cheeseburger, and it was on a sourdough bread. It wasn't too bad, but I think the patty needed a little more flavor, in my opinion, but the fries are amazing. I do recommend going though it's a fun place to dine, especially if you have young/older kids

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.

I don't know what's happened, but I came today, Saturday July 5th. I pull up to drive thru and there is no lunch menu, nothing on the electric board. I ask where it is, and the lady speaks zero English and doesn't understand anything I'm saying. Told me to pull up and she'll give me a menu and proceeds to say "I don't know the menu" still not understanding what I'm saying. There are now 3 other people behind me that couldn't pre order either. And I tried ordering a salad with all Romain lettuce since we don't like weeds in our family, and they don't even have that. I don't know what's happened, but this place seems to be going downhill. Took 20 min to get a tuna sandwich and a chicken pita and fries: and this place isn't even crowded. And the fries aren't even piping hot after waiting 20 min.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I have to say this is definitely must try hidden gem diner. In the lovely city of Whittier. This spot has the classic 50's era theme. Which make it different from all the cafe location. Very fun and self entertaining dining experience with friend and family. Now the foods speak for itself. It delicious and bring a lot of flavor. May look simple but most tasteful taste bud. The burger selection can be simple topping to extremely extra toppings. Which ever fit your selection in your burger. The onion cannot skip out on. A must get always the fries. Please Do Not forget the ranch work excellent on the foods. This is the unique dinning have you coming back soon. It has my attention and recommendation.

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!

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.

Got here probably before 11am on a weekday, came in thru the back door by the dinning area where 2 classic car booths are in the middle. love all the decorations and different seating they offer, either outside or inside. The dinning area is pretty bright, BUT the lobby where you order your food was a bit dark. I ordered their Frisco's Chicken burger combo, it was really good, love it!! Their chicken was nice and juicy and not dry, plus their bacon and avocado were the icing on the cake as well. The fries were hot and crispy too. I was hoping someone with the roller skate would bring my food to my table, but they didn't have enough worker to do that at the time I was there so I was bummed that I didn't get to see that. The only thing I didn't like was their bathroom, it was dirty and gross, I m assuming whoever was closing last night didn't clean the restroom. They should really do a restroom clean up every few hours or so. I will definitely come back next time to try out their other food items, hopefully they will clean up their restroom.

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!

As my boyfriend is a car lover, he loved the ambiance the place had. We got to sit in one of the car tables that had a piece of a Buick built into it. The music was a mix of current and oldies. My boyfriend enjoyed the colossal burger, full of flavor from the burger patty and pastrami shavings. As he said "prepare to get messy, absolutely worth it". I got the patty melt and it was good. I did request no parmesan crust on the sourdough toast which could have affected the overall flavor. If I were to go back, I would opt for the traditional burger bun. The shake was tasty and the fries were okay. Not the type to dip in the shake but would be great for chili fries. The service was typical, nothing like the videos on their social media. The girls had basic customer service and were not wearing the roller skates while we were there. We are hoping this part will be different if we come for their breakfast/brunch.

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!

Went to Frisco's with my family to celebrate my nephew receiving an award at school. As we walked in, no one greeted us. There is a sign directing you to order at the counter before seating. My cousin stood at the counter to place her order, no one was in line. It took almost 10 minutes for her order to be taken. By that time, I had reviewed the menu and taken the order for the rest of my family. I walked up to the counter as my cousin finished ordering. My cousin move away and the lady taking the order walked away, I had to flag her and then she asked me if I wanted to order. (Why else would I be at the counter next to the sign that says order here). Anyway, most of our order was out surprisingly fast, except my chicken Greek salad had no chicken and my nephews kid meal and shake were missing. I flagged the server (same person taking the orders) and she took back my salad, she returned with my salad with chicken on it and said she had not charged me for chicken, I offered to pay; she said no. Mind you the salad name on the menu is "chicken Greek salad" it is not like I ordered a plain salad and added chicken. Now we waited, and waited and waited some more for my nephews meal. I got up and asked about the meal, the server's response: "didn't I already bring it?" No you didn't. She scrambled to get the order started and then to make the shake. Keep I mind that there were only other 2 tables occupied at this time as it was Friday around 2. I'm giving it 2 stars because the food was ok. My dad had been there before and said that the service and quality had definitely declined. Keep in mind that there were no severs on rollers skates either like advertised. I remember going to the location in La Puente a long time ago and had high hopes for this location. Sadly, we won't be going back.

Visiting family in the Los Angeles area from Hawaii and from the moment you walk in you are caught up in the ambiance. The food was amazing!!! Had the Frisco burger and Greek salad! By far the best in LA. Our service was amazing! Love the carhops! Wish I could take an order to Maui !

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.

Leaving this review on their most recent Pastrami Sandwich at $12.99 I believe. It is not available as a combo so I had to opt to drink water from home and I added zucchini's as my side to make sure I am full. The total for both came out to $22.06. At first I thought maybe there would be a reason for the pricing. Maybe the sandwich is big. . . So I waited about 7 min for order in the drive thru. I got my food home and once I opened the bag I was disappointed to see the size of the sandwich. It was pretty small compared to other places I've gone. Then to add unfortunately by the time I got home 5-10 minutes later and fixed myself to eat it, it was already cold. The texture of the meat was very stringy and rubbery and mid at best. The pickle and mustard gives it a great balance with adding acidity but could not get over the texture of the meat. The bread was soft but not toasted or heated. I am a Frisco's regular and often enjoy a good burger or their breakfast specials. But this NEW addition to the menu should be taken off immediately! You can easily get a better deal up the street at Norms for the exact same price. Norms will include a large fry and drink for almost the exact same price and it is 1000000000x better than this sandwich. Also the portions at Norms Burgers can feed two people. This only fed myself.

Very disappointed in the food. For one my order was taken wrong so I had to go all the way back to get our order fixed. Then got home and the food was bland and the meat patty was rubbery. $18 for a combo not worth jt especially when I had to make 2 Trips, my husband and I took 3 bites and we threw the rest away. We ordered the Frisco bacon avocado, the fries were hot at the edge and the center of the fries were cold. I'll save my $45 next time

Great Food, Great Value -- But Service Needs Serious Improvement Friscos Carhops has a lot of things going right -- and a few things that definitely need work. Let's start with the good: the food is fantastic. Everything is made fresh to order, and you can really taste the difference. From the juicy burgers to the crisp fries and absolutely killer dressings and homemade sauces, it's clear the kitchen puts in real effort. It's one of those rare spots where the flavor and quality far exceed what you'd expect at the price point -- definitely a bang for your buck kind of place. The cooks and the manager are also super friendly and clearly care about the customer experience. I've seen them go out of their way to fix orders quickly and professionally when something isn't right. They're a bright spot in the overall vibe of the place. But the service from the waitresses -- especially the carhops -- is another story. I really wish I could say the same about them, but I've consistently had unpleasant experiences. Rude attitudes, lack of basic courtesy, and even an eye roll from a young waitress the last time I was there. It's frustrating when the food and value are so good, but the front-of-house staff makes you feel unwelcome. It really brings the whole experience down. Bottom line: if you can overlook the attitude from some of the waitresses, the food is absolutely worth it. Just be prepared for hit-or-miss service. Here's hoping management continues to focus on training and improving that part of the operation, because this place has the potential to be amazing across the board.

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.

Service was not great only one person working register and serving food. Not so friendly maybe due to no help. Burgers were dry over powered with bread. Needs seasoning. Fries were cold. Shakes were good.

Fresco's Carhops offers a charming dining experience, though we opted for the drive-thru since we arrived just 30 minutes before closing. The customer service was friendly, and the exterior was nicely decorated and clean. We tried the Frisco's Cheeseburger Combo and the new Frisco Fire Burger Combo. The Frisco-style burger was unique, with an unexpected but tasty choice of bread. My burger was juicy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with well-seasoned fries. The Frisco Fire Burger was delicious--not too spicy, but with a satisfying kick. I would definitely return for the dine-in experience, as the atmosphere and food both make it worth the visit.

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.

I have to admit that I really enjoyed the atmosphere and service most of all. The chilli fries were just okay, nothing to get excited over. The strawberry milkshake was very tasty. Overall, I probably wont return because it's a long hike from West Hollywood.

From the moment I walked in, I knew this diner was something special since the very first time I found this place. The food? Absolutely incredible--every bite was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. Whether you're into hearty breakfasts, classic burgers, or sweet treats, they've nailed it all. The location is just as impressive. Nestled in a picturesque spot, it's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy the view, and forget about the hustle of the day. Whether you're sitting inside or out, the atmosphere is calm and inviting. And the staff? Some of the kindest people I've ever met. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there--it made the whole experience even more memorable. I seriously cannot wait to go back. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go. You'll be glad you did

This place is so cute! I went here with my bf as a brunch date and we loved it! They have spacious outdoor seating! The service was quick and friendly. The food was good but not the best. I personally didn't like the fries, they were plain. Overall i had a good experience.

Son said the Frisco Fire burger was ok. He wasn't too happy with the bread being chewy. The classic cheeseburger was underwhelming. The best items were the zucchini and onion rings. We place our order at the front and it was brought to our table by an employee on skates. We enjoyed the 50's themed decorations.

A fun diner if you happen to be nearby. It's a little understaffed but the people are nice. Three 50s decor is great if you want to take pics and the portions are big.

I truly miss the 50's themed diner restaurants with good food and the ambiance to match. If you're willing to hop into a car, come here for great burgers/sandwiches that are as good as the other reviewers say it is. Really made my late-birthday celebration worth coming out for. Location: In Whittier on Whittier Blvd right next door to a masonry/tile shop with a smog check place behind it. Look for the pink Frisco sign sticking out from the building. Food: I got the Chipotle Bacon Cheeseburger (double) and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and not just because I was hungry. You can actually taste the charbroiling to the meat. The buns were toasted. The cheese was melted. The fries were seasoned, crispy and hot. I couldn't be more pleased with my meal because most themed diner food tends to fall flat when it comes to the food. I wish I had room for dessert, but my. stomach just isn't the size of a hippo. Ambiance: You won't be bored with all the retro decor to look at, believe me. From the posters up on the wall to the various nicknacks in the dining area. Betty Boop greets you before you hit the bathroom. A few of the booths were designed with bench seating in a Cadillac. Summary: Honestly, I need to come back here again just to see if the desserts live up to the name "diner." They also have sandwiches, burritos, salads and even a kid's menu. Breakfast is served from 7am-2pm. There is an outdoor patio that is pet friendly and a drive thru too. Want to eat in your car? You can!! The trays are designed to hang onto to your window while you eat. Service was friendly, personable and some (not all) waitresses will deliver your food on roller skates. Neat, huh?? Pricing is on par what I expected, but it's not cheap. There used to be 2 locations (Downey), but this location is the only one left. Came here to belatedly celebrate a birthday and I'm glad I came here instead. Happy eating!!

Ambiance great. Food was good for the price. But if the place isn't busy, why am I missing my 2 items from my order? No excuse on a slow Sunday afternoon.

Again, I'm a BIG fan of themed cafes and restaurants! Sucks that I never got to go to the Frisco's in City of Industry back when it's still open, but glad that this one in Whittier still exists (I'm not even sure if there are any other locations other than this one...). It's open pretty late at night in terms of how everything else closed at 9 PM on a weekday in Whittier. They have menus clasped to stands outside and a drive thru as well. Love the kitschy 50's diner and classic car theme that the restaurant has. There's photos and autographs from famous celebrities who have been to Frisco's, giant dice, a huge garage door to their outdoor seating, booths that are in a classic car, a car hop waitress mannequin, large milkshake art on the wall, and much, much more. And OF COURSE, the waitresses roller skate to your table too! We got the: 1) Frisco's Parmesan Zucchini Sticks: -Huge pieces that are generously covered in parmesan. -The zucchini wasn't too mushy on the inside, went great with some ranch. -I only saw afterwards that they had chipotle ranch as a free sauce option, wish I knew this then, but if I'm back again, I gotta try it. 2) Frisco Cheeseburger: -As it was my first time here, this was the no brainer to try with it's namesake and the fact that it's slightly different from a regular burger as it's made sandwich style with sliced bread. -This is their fire grilled beef patty with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and thousand island dressing. The most unique features of their Frisco Cheeseburger is that instead of burger buns they used sour dough bread coated in parmesan cheese. -This gave the bread the same taste as eating a super large Cheez-it coated flavor. The beef patty was moist and cooked nicely enough. Decent amount of thousand island sauce and the bread is a tasty and yummy enough. Just a word to the wise, if you're not really into "saltier" food choices or are a fan of cheese, this is not the option for you. -Also enough to share too, wish we asked in advance for them to cut it in half. -This came with a sizeable side of crispy fries too. 3) Churro Milkshake: -100% an indulgent dessert drink. It's topped with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry, along with a small churro too. Throughout the shake, it's vanilla ice cream with churro blended all throughout, adding some nice texture as well. -Perfect for if you love churros and have a sweet tooth, but it is a heavily sweet and dense drink. Since we came near closing, we had iced tea from the fountain drink area to mix with lemonade to make an Arnold Palmer, but once it ran out, it wasn't refilled again. Understandable as it was a duty for the next day. We also got their cute little paper cars for $1.29 (this is going to my lizard, Sambal), but seeing an entire party of people getting it only to throw them in the trash afterwards was a big pain to me to say the least... Looking up the history of Frisco's, I guess the old City of Industry location had pizzas, would be cool if they had those here as well.

Had a great time! Love the vintage decor, love the oldies music, wait staff full of smiles, and our order was roller skated out to us. No one does that anymore. It is an amazing experience! You owe it to yourself to have someone roller skate burgers and fries to you once in your life. The cheese flavored bread on the sandwich and the Frisco burger was not my favorite. Like powdered Parmesan cheese grilled into the bread. Sourdough bread or Texas toast would've been way better. It was too rich and salty with that on there for my taste. The strawberry shake was out of this world! I don't say that a lot, but it was just perfect. It actually looked like a fake shake that you would have on a shelf in a restaurant or in a case to show people what a shake would look like when ordered. It was my favorite item of the order (if you couldn't tell). I like how that no matter who is in your group, everyone can find something they like. You want a sandwich? A salad? A burger? Some pancakes and eggs? They got you covered. Looking forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu.

Car hop and Car culture go hand in hand hand. So if you're out cruising with your girl. Stop by Friscos Whittier and get some really good comfort food. Burgers Fries Shakes. We live near by so I enjoy their food frequently. I just love the country chicken salad. The curly fries are great piping hot. The service in side was a bit slow but the decor makes for a very enjoyable time. Just don't be in a hurry.

This place is just plain fun! The servers are in skates, and the food is a throwback to an early diner. There are lots of good options for your burger and greasy diner cravings. This is a must stop for the Whittier area.

The food was good. One girl was on her roller skates. They got my dessert wrong but right away got the correct one. Can't substitute the regular fries with other ones :( All ambiance and decor is pretty cool.

I love this place! The food is good. The service is friendly and they have free coffee with breakfast. I wish the menu was just a little bit bigger, but whatever they are doing the formula works very well. They always seem to be open. I just wish the music was a little quieter in the dining room. A big thumbs up if you have not tried this place.

Love this spot for quality comfort food. On a diet? - don't come! Looking for craft stuff? - don't come! Looking for delicious fatty comfort food that isn't made with cheap crap? - cum! Awesome, friendly staff. Clean spot. And it's a private owned local restaurant? - love it.

Good service and great decor. A bit awkward lay out of the serve yourself beverages since it's in same tight area where employees walk out to serve food. And on this visit there was a yellow wet floor sign so made it a bit more difficult for myself and server on roller skates to navigate around. Food was served pretty fast. Burgers were Served on a Parmesan sourdough type bread. The bread was pretty dry and the Parmesan was a bit over powering, salty and crumbly. Ended up eating open faced and had party only. Wanted it to be better but I should've paid more attention and got a regular bun.
