The company that bought Frisch’s had no idea what they were doing. Total mismanagement.

[DARELion]

Frishes quality has FALLEN drastically since the takeover. This is not surprising

[vickerice]

I quit eating at Frishes years ago. After the change of ownership the quality went down and the prices went up.

The actual problem started in 1987 when Marriott sold Big Boy.

Private equity destroys another business.

When Frisch sold them .
They went down hill fast!

[napalmholocaust]

I almost forgot they used to be open till about midnight. We always went there after concerts, it would be packed and everything was cheap.
One had a "bad service" table in a bad spot like next to the register that was automatic 15% off for who sat there. We sat there a lot and chain smoked cloves.
Don't judge, most of you were the same 20 years ago.

So why did the original owner sell the store in the first

[Del-jixr]

Ate at frishes couple months ago, service was very slow, food wasint good, not the frishes I remember..

How awful..
Frisch's has THE best tartar sauce, ranch dressing and pumpkin pie..
So sad...

Mismanagement and the well deserved bad reputation fast food has among workers coming back to haunt them.

The last shoney’s location in Ohio closed 10-20-24.

The Eastgate Frisch’s dining area is gross. I won’t eat in there any more. The carpet (which I don’t know why you have it in a restaurant) is nasty and stinks.

The Cherry Grove location is just as bad. We walked out one night because we waited 10 minutes to get seated, and the restaurant was 80% empty. Just a joke.

The vast majority of workers look they’re on a prison release work plan. Appearances mean nothing to most companies nowadays.

At Bob's Big Boy, we love good food, just like you

[bluer]

The one in mason is always empty. The food went downhill and the prices doubled. Perkins acrosss the street is always busy😂

[deadbeats]

The quality of food and overall service at Frisch's over the last 15-20 years has dramatically reduced to a waste of money.

Bought a Big boy in Lawrenceburg, IN yesterday and the beef patties were barely cooked..still raw.

Horrible news! One of my absolute favorite restaurants

[dingodave]

Sadly, I predicted this 5 years ago when they changed the menu.

[stgencamaro]

Frisch’s used to be my wife and I go to place to get a good meal for a reasonable price. After having a bad experience several years ago we did go back and try them again a few times. They actually got worse and the prices were outrageous, We can go to Texas Roadhouse and get a burger and fries for less than Frisches now
