Editorial Review for Frisco Shop Restaurant – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
The interior is well-worn and comfortable, inducing vinyl booths and Formica tabletops. A club breakfast will fuel you for the day with two eggs, bacon, hash browns and made-fresh biscuits. The popular Frisco Burger comes wrapped in white paper with cheese, relish, lettuce and Russian-style dressing on a toasted bun. Chicken fried steak has a delicate batter and a thick cream gravy. Much of the waitstaff here has been around for 10 or 20 years.

Highly recommend this restuarant. The food is terrific. It is also a history legend. The Nighthawk frozen dinners at stores was from this chain of restuarants' called Nighthawk. The special was the steak you see on the shelf in the store today. Nighthawk closed and Frisco's is the last one serving that southern comfort food. Go there with a friend, your wife, and eat good while saving money. I hope it never goes away. We need real authentic diners and this is it. Have never had their breakfast before at this place....The owner of Nighthawks cooked me up some biscuits homemade and they were fabulous - He is gone now, but his recipes live on.
Pros: Food is good from the 40's and 50's recipes
Cons: none -

Im not sure where to begin...I was mesmerized by the neon hawk outside. When I pulled up, the parking lot was full of Buicks, Caddies, Oldsmobile etc. When i walked in i could have been a canidate for someone 's grandchild. Nothing wrong with older people, we will all be there one day, right? This old sckool haunt is all about 1940 design and food. Ever wonder what people ate 50 years ago? Here is is. I just love that the staff .. missing teeth, wearing wigs and have gems on their nails., My favorite is the light fare chicken friend steak. If your on a budget, get some coffee and pie. Think Blue Velvet, Lost Highway and Wild at heart.
