The "new" Frisco's menu is smaller than the "old" restaurant. Their burgers are tasty, fresh and condiments are good too They have self serve soft drink and an ice cream bar (served) the garage area (seating) was pretty cool, the ac was working pretty good. The fries are the crunchy recipe (??) The most touching part of the restaurant is when you exit their lot, A Danny Martin memorial, a man of God. Any local Whittier or Morningstar person knew Danny. The Lord blessed us with Danny as he shared the word to the Whittier and surrounding communities God bless Frisco's and Danny Martin

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.

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.

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.
