Former employee here: The last year I worked there, the manager stiffed me hours to ensure I didn't qualify for full time status, and therefore not eligible for insurance. I was worked to death, saw prices skyrocket while portion sizes and food quality dwindled. I'm glad they gave me work experience, but this company was sold to people that are more concerned about padding a bottom line than they are making good food and keeping staff and customers happy. The store I worked at shut down a year after I left
Yes the investment firm will close and sell locations to make more profit from the real estate. Sad to see many Big Boy franchises closing nationwide, from Bob's to Shoney's, Elby's, Elias and now Frisch's.
I was a weekly Frisch's customer until about 2018. Sometime around then, the menu prices shot up by several bucks and the food became much worse. It was literally cafeteria quality. I stopped going because I don't want to pay $20 a person for high school lunch food. I used to like the tenderloin sandwich, the Big Boy, and the weekend breakfast bar. I kept going after it stopped being any good. Half the selections on the bar weren't replenished, EVER. Bacon was raw or burned. It just became consistently shitty.
Born and raised in NE OH and it was always a treat to go to Manners Big Boy in Cleveland after my doctor appt as a kid. Loved their food but that was 50 yrs ago. Great memories!
I’m 74…… I remember going to my Frisch’s BB on Woodward in the suburbs of Detroit. A BB combo (hamburger, fries and a coke) was 99 cents. I used to take my girlfriend out for a date (drive in movie, 2 BB combos and a popcorn) for under $5. I also love their Slim Jim sandwich. Inflation is the silent killer of our budgets!
Unfortunately it's a sad situation. Frisch's has been a very good staple in our tristate area, but the service has gone Way down. Unfortunately the Erlanger store had employees who were drinking out the back door, and the Florence location Dream St, the dining room leaders ran it into the ground, along with Management that was very aware of it..
Frisch’s closure. We are certainly saddened by any closure in our community. The restaurant industry has struggled and is still experiencing workforce issues and out of control rising food costs. We are sorry to see the closing of Frisch’s, as it has been a fixture in out local community for many years. I would encourage all of our community members to Shop Local!”
The food there is terrible.... Frankly, im suprised it took this long for them to close more..... My older relatives eat there religiously though.... My belief is because it was one of only a few options when they were young.
It is like 4.00 for an iced tea at Frisch’s. I love their drinks but I won’t pay that price. It is better to set a price that customers will pay and everyone wins. When customers do not buy it is a loss for the business and the customer. Frisch’s drink prices are ridiculous. They have, unfortunately, been declining for a few years now. We are in a depression.
No a vulture investment form bought them out in 2014 or 2015. When that happens a chain is drained to pull all the profit it can. And eventually shut down.
That man was correct, they raised the prices too high. We use to go about once a week. We've tried a couple of times in the last 2 years but the food wasn't like it use to be and outrageous prices.
Well I'm happy they are closing, the service, the food and the attitudes of the workers are horrible. They have just went straight down hill. I eat at Bob Evans where the prices and service is still top notch compared to Frisch's, and I might add cleaner. I went to Covington a month before closing and every table in the dining room was dirty that day, with one server doing it all.
At the end of the day, the quality of food has lowered, the quantity has lowered, the professionalism in staff has lowered. This starts at the top and filters down. Lowering of standards doesn't keep locations open and it certainly won't help for expansion. However, we are also seeing rising costs accros the board, a declining economy, less money in the pockets of the working community. Couple this with a demoralized, decadent, lazy and entitled society that doesn't want to work and there is no wonder why we are seeing locations close.
Hmmmm….. I’m a baby boomer and I’m sure McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, A & W, DQ are still around . Baby boomer food is still going strong in my opinion.

@@afmghost1759 wow . Glad you got out when did & into something better
An investment firm bought them out about a decade ago. When that happens quality drops.

It was great all those decades Dave Frisch owned it !
It’s like Wendy’s, as soon as Dave Thomas died they went down the crapper too. I used to enjoy going to both places but not so much anymore.

The whole restaurant structure needs to change as this problem is clearly not going away. I'm stunned so many new restaurants keep opening.
I think their customer base is sadly thinning out.
it is very sad what has happened to frischs big boy ,they were iconic for decades

The big boys dont taste the same and too expensive.
This was my first job, and I loved it so much.

They should close they have all gone down hill
Ive never seen young people ever eat at Frischs like theyre customer base is 50+ years of age
i rember going to frischs in the 60s ,they had the best strawberry pies ,and i mean the whole pie
My husband and I were just talking about the pie. The crust was just a tad sweet. I LOVED that pie!
@@22lyric oh yes !! its too bad alot of these old restaurants are closing down
My oldest sister was a waitress at Dayton Frischs for years in the 70s and 80s. I love their fish sandwich.
Went down to the Parkway Frisch's with my buddy earlier this year only to find it closed. That messed me up
They used to have Frisch's big boy in Tampa Florida but they went out of business many years ago :(
They’re closing because the food sucks. 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t go to places where I know that they are not going to get my order right
Thank You!!!!!!! Out here in Cali, they used to have about a dozen locations, then they began to dwindle, one by one.

Not surprised. Prices ate super high and keeping help is difficult. Usually only one watress.

I go to Frisch’s all the time in Bethel. They do pretty well. Good one!
Location, more choices, and... for me, the tartar sauce was the deal breaker.
Hasn't been good since the 70's.
Why????? Ughhh
Because like all other fast food joints they taste like crap anymore and not worth the money guys 😮
it used to seem so good. it was a once in a longg time thing for me as I took trips to michigan we would stop for big boys ❤️
Save you 2 minutes… There is no formal answer from Frisch’s about closures
That man was correct, they raised the prices too high. We use to go about once a week. We've tried a couple of times in the last 2 years but the food wasn't like it use to be and outrageous prices.

When they went with mayo on the Big boy`s instead of the secret sauce they had I quit going.
They stopped putting Frisch's Tartar Sauce on their burgers? What the eff???
It is sad thing to see, but their food has gone downhill over the years.
Can us Frisch's lovers bring a class action lawsuit against the new owners? :)
It’s hit or miss the burgers are over cooked and just like all fast food places they’re too expensive for the average family
Food has got expo and not good quantity.
I think there relocating to the south because of the high taxes in ohio
They don’t have no help
That does suck. They had good food. On a different note Austin Powers nemesis Dr. evil will have to try to find a different way to get into space
Frischs had gone downhill fast.
They're going to space. Austin Powers movies.
Close them all
We are in a depression.
No. An investor firm bought Frischs and ran it into the ground
no it’s another company taking over and they are making a different restaurant and the little ceasers pizza

Nobody wants baby boomer food
It’s a popular family restaurant chain
Eat your hot pockets kid...

No you just can't afford it kid. Plus you probably don't have time because.....YOU HAVE TO WORK ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !
@@lookyloo1000 I like that lol!
It's a darn shame big boy best fast food hamburger there is in my humble opinion oh and the onion rings the bomb!
Some are ghetto, some are good.
