Frischs Big Boy

These places are all over the Cincinnati area. I have never tried any of the others, and I probably won’t because this one isn’t good. I’ve been to this one three times.
My first experience was with the hamburger. I don’t know what it’s called but it was decent, but not impressive. So I went back another time.
The second visit was for breakfast. The dining room was PACKED, so you’d expect something great from the buffet, right? Again, it was par at best. My family ate with me and they weren’t as pleased as I was. They said it was gross.
My third and final experience was with some sort of ranch wrap. It was very bad, but not because it was prepared poorly. It was just not something I liked. Poor decision on my part… but, nevertheless, I won’t be back. Three strikes and you’re out.

I’ll admit some personal bias: I grew up just down the street from this particular Frisch’s location and have been coming here for about as long as I can remember, so there’s certainly a sentimental connection here.
That said, I’ve never had any complaints about the food, service, or cleanliness here. Sure, it’s Frisch’s and nobody here is looking for a super high-​end dining experience, but for what it is, it’s hard to beat the Fort Thomas Frisch’s.
I’ve been to many other Frisch’s locations throughout the Cincinnati area, and unfortunately, my experience has hasn’t always been a good one. The chain really needs to do a better job of ensuring consistency among their locations in terms of service and quality control, but in my experience, this particular location stands out as one of the more reliable ones. I’ve been known to drive past other Frisch’s locations in order to come to this one, because I know they won’t let me down.
UPDATE 3÷3÷2012: This particular Frisch’s location has been closed, and replaced with a larger and more modern location just down the road where I-​471 ends at US 27 in Highland Heights. I understand that most of the staff from the Ft. Thomas location have been transferred to the new location.

Horrible food. I went there as I didn’t know the city or where to go and I stumbled upon it and it was open. I ordered the Salmon with mashed potatoes and green beans. It was not good. It didn’t even taste like Salmon and I’m still not sure it even was. The mashed potatoes were ok for microwave potatoes but the green beans were straight from the can and the good ol’ microwave as well. I felt robbed after spending $ 9 and wish I had eaten at the 7 eleven instead. At least I would have known what I was getting.
Nice and helpful staff, however.
