Frisch's Restaurants, Inc.

Dave Frisch opened his first restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1939. The Mainliner, a drive-in style restaurant, quickly earned a reputation for serving delicious food at a great value. When Dave introduced the Big Boy sandwich in 1946, a humble legend was born. Since then, Frisch's Big Boy has grown to become one of the largest family-style dining chains in the Midwest. Frisch's now owns and operates 96 restaurants and franchises another 25 to independent operators. Quite possibly, you've seen the iconic Big Boy statue standing proudly outside one of them. Our secret is not so secret, really. We believe in giving customers craveable homemade foods that you can't find anywhere else. Which means not just one signature item, but an entire menu of them: the Big Boy, Onion Rings, Hot Fudge Cake, our own Tartar Sauce, Homemade Soups, Seasonal Pies, and so much more. It's all part of Frisch's brand promise: "Good fun happens over great food served by friendly faces." That's a promise we aspire to each and every day. And that's why we serve anything on our menu at any time. We're pretty sure that's how Dave Frisch would've done it too. Because no matter how much time passes, one thing will always stay the same: Frisch's Big Boy is a place where one meal can make your entire day.
