Frisch's Restaurants, Inc.

Overview

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.
