Comfortable seating. Great food, all desserts $3.99. Carpet needs replacing, but the furniture is very good.
This is a great bang for your buck place. Order came out quickly. Correct. And hot. The service was great. And the atmosphere was very laid back. They had outside games. We played Pool inside. Cornhole outside. And we even had a few sparklers given to us while we were outside.
My first time here today, the energy is nice. Waitress was super nice. Food was decent. It really feels like a home-y, local town diner.
One of my favorite places for breakfast! Friendly staff, quick service and the one place that doesn’t only serve half and half creamer! lol. The prices are very reasonable as well.
I recently just started enjoying Frisbys in the afternoons as a little after work pick me up, The second or third time I came in I was being recognized and treated like almost like family by this one young woman working the restaurant side, Lydia. She was incredibly vivacious and inviting, made wonderful small talk with me until my food was prepared. It was a very welcoming and nice way to end a hard shift, safe to say i will be a regular to this restaurant!
