FRISCH'S BIG BOY | Wilmington, Ohio | Restaurant Review

[@laurablassberg8559]

I haven’t seen a big boys in so long. I grew up going to this restaurant every Wednesday night because my mom loved the battered fish. This was in Connecticut. Great video. Happy holidays to you and your family.

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

We'll have to try out the fish next time. We bet it's delicious here. Thanks so much for watching, Laura. We hope that you have Merry Christmas as well and that you stay warm with this upcoming cold snap coming through.

We have seen them sparsely located in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio but haven't seen many elsewhere.

[@PJL7095]

Funny… my first job after graduating from Miami University was being a manager for Frisch’s. I graduated in December’89 and so a few days after Christmas my mother saw me lounging on the couch watching The Price Is Right and said “when are you going to get a job Peter??” to which I replied “I can find a job in a day”. She told me to get to it then. It was a choice between Bob Evans or Frisch’s. I learned so much in one year as a manager there compared to college. Still to this day my best job as far as learning the ropes of the professional world. The onion rings are made fresh in house daily. The standard on them is being perfect. Hot fudge cake is still exactly how they made them years ago. Of course the Big Boy is the best. Get XTS -> extra tarter sauce & even dip your onion rings in it. Ahhh the memories

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

That is so cool that your first job was at Frisch's. I (Brent) had many friends who attended Miami University in Ohio. We bet that you learned all kinds of valuable skills working there, especially dealing directly with the public. While it's been many years since we've tried a big boy sandwich, this was the first time we've ever tried the hot fudge cake. It was incredible. We will take your suggestion and get the XTS next time. That sounds amazing to dip the onion rings in it. We really appreciate you and thank you for watching, Peter. We hope that you and your family have a Merry Christmas.

My little city still has a Tastee Freeze...and it still does an awesome business. Hope ya'll are having a great week. Merry Christmas and God bless!

[@PJL7095]

Frisch’s & Big Boy -while similar in looks - are actually different chains. They all started under Bob’s Big Boy & soon franchises sprang up all around the country. Somewhere along the way, Frisch’s was its own entity of Big Boy in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. I even think Shoney’s is part of Big Boy

[@CathyHendrix1]

We've seen a few scattered throughout Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. You're so right, Cathy, the tarter sauce is what makes the Big Boy so amazing. We'll have to try the coconut cream pie next time - that sounds really delicious. Our favorite coconut dessert was at Bahama Breeze called the Coconut Grande, but sadly, they no longer serve it there. We didn't realize that Tasteee Freeze's were still open. If we're ever in the SW Virginia area, we'll have to make a stop there for sure. It has been a great week so far. Merry Christmas to you as well, Cathy. God bless

We’ve never tried Bob’s Big Boy. Someone was telling us that Bob’s serves their cheeseburgers with thousand island sauce, while Frisch’s serves theirs with tartar sauce.

@@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV Bob's Big Boy in California serves their burger with red relish and mayo, however some of their east coast locations did serve 1000 Island sauce instead, along with Elby's and Shoney's back in the day. Frisch's always uses their famous tartar sauce on their burgers, which I prefer the best. In Michigan the national Big Boy chain also uses 1000 Island sauce.

I grew up in Wilmington and with Frisch’s and we all loved them. It was our hangout and there were cruise ins like Happy Days. Back then it was all good fun, not the kind of kids that SOMETIMES show disrespect. If I understand it, Shoney’s, Bob’s Big Boy, and Big Boy are different from Frisch’s. I’m 70 yrs old and I sure hope they are around for a long time longer. Everything they have is great. IMO, they have the best onion rings, hot fudge cake, fish anywhere.

Kips are gone now. My dad and I got Big Boy Burgers. They had a sauce similar to McDonalds secret sauce on the big mac. They had a seasoning on the table ❤that was like seasoning salt that I put on each bit. My twin sister and I loved their hot fudge sundaes with the fudge❤sauce in a little cup of the hot sauce to pour over the sundae topped with Whipped cream and toasted almonds 😋. We also liked the chocolate milk shakes. They had fresh strawberry pie with strawberries put in the cooked pie crust and a strawberry thick syrupy mixture poured over it and topped with whipped cream. My mom has made them.

[@Mr.TylerSC]

There are 2 Big Boy restaurants remaining in Cleveland, Ohio, now operated by Big Boy of Michigan, but no longer subfranchised as Bob's. Originally in Cleveland they were Manner's Big Boy, subfranchised by Frisch's. Manners developed their own white sauce similar to Frisch's tartar sauce. Later Marriott acquired the Cleveland market and converted the Big Boys from Manner's to Bob's Big Boy. Now the Cleveland locations are part of the national Big Boy chain of Michigan, while the rest of Ohio is served by Frisch's as an independent Big Boy operator. I am unsure if the Cleveland Big Boys serve the white sauce or the 1000 Island sauce like Michigan.

[@reagangreenwood2665]

on the big boy hamburger, to bad they put tarter sauce on it instead of the red relish that they allways had on it. then adf some mayonaise. delicioso

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

We were told after we filmed this video that Frisch's Big Boy uses a unique blend of tarter sauce, where Bob's Big Boy uses a thousand island blend for the sauce. Thanks for watching, Reagan.

[@UHaulShorts]

Think Shoney'z iz da southern version

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

You are correct - they used to be called Shoney's Big Boy, but then Shoney's went solo and they no longer sell the Big Boy sandwich.

Living in Ohio I have access to 2 Bob's Big Boy in Cleveland Ohio and Frichs Big Boys on the west side of Ohio both great company's the Big Boy is different at both restaurants people come to Cleveland and they will say something is off. Frichs Big Boy and Bob's Big Boy do have some minor differences

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

@wm3293, that’s awesome that you get to enjoy both Big Boy restaurants! Thanks so much for watching! We hope that you’re staying safe and warm. We wish y’all a wonderful and Merry Christmas!

[@wm3293]

@Every Day Is Saturday you too I see you guys went to Ponderosa great place they closed Niles and Calcutta Ohio locations now Butler Pennsylvania Columbus Ohio are only ones left for me and my friends. We just went to dutch valley amish restaurant in Sugarcreek it was delicious

One main distinction: Frisch's uses tartar sauce on their burgers while Cleveland locations may use either a similar white sauce or the 1000 Island sauce. And Cleveland locations will use the modern, west coast Big Boy mascot/statue while many Frisch's locations have the older east coast statue outside their restaurants. And the Cleveland locations are now just Big Boy, as they have dropped Bob's and are operated from Michigan. But Bob's locations remain in California, although they are contracted by Michigan, the national Big Boy operator. Frisch's is now an independent Big Boy operator in the rest of Ohio except Cleveland, as well as Kentucky and Indiana. Frisch's has been planning to expand to Tennessee. Shoney's is no longer a Big Boy franchise.

[@wm3293]

@William Nolan both Valley View and Broadview heights big boys use the Manners Big Boy Tartar sauce by default on are big boy burgers but they will make the big boy with Bob Wians original recipe (California sauce) or with Michigan sauce upon request. yes Frisch's Big Boy is a totally separate company nowadays but alot of North west Ohio locations have west coast style Big Boy staute which is kinda puzzling lol

[@Mr.TylerSC]

@@wm3293 Thanks for updating. The Ohio white sauce is also known as Manner's tartar sauce, inspired by Frisch's, who had originally subcontracted the Cleveland market to Manner's. But good to hear you can select the Michigan style 1000 Island sauce or the California red relish if you prefer. And some Frisch's use the older East coast statue, while others use the west coast statue created by Bob's Big Boy.

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

I am diggin’ the tunes there.. here in va its rap or hip hop or night club dance music most of the time. ugh.

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

Thank you. Yeah, we're with you - we're not into rap or hip hop ourselves. We mainly listen to country but also enjoy oldies and classic rock.

[@andreadeamon6419]

I've been to bob's and frishs. Bob's is better but there's only 2 left in the Cleveland area

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

We'll definitely have to check out Bob's. We've heard that they use a thousand island based sauce instead of tarter sauce. We'd like to try that out. Thanks for watching, Andrea. We hope that you had a great weekend.

[@joeklimko8339]

Big boy what good days juth box at the table a big boy and fry what more could you ask for the 1970s to come back

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

The good ole days for sure. We hope that you had an excellent weekend, Joe. Thanks for watching.

[@jamiesbgrace]

I took my wife and daughter here today and was thoroughly unimpressed...The food quality has hit a new low...I will never go back ....

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

We are sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience at this restaurant, @James. Thanks for watching, and we hope that you have a wonderful week ahead!

[@Lawomenshoops]

Bobs big boy was started in California. He invented the big boy burger, but he used mayo and red relish. For some reason the big boys in the Midwest use tartar sauce! Yuck!

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

The combination of tarter sauce with a burger sounds terrible but I really enjoyed it. After the video, we were told that it's a special blend of tarter sauce that they use. We'd love to visit one of the Bob's Big Boy locations to try the red relish and mayo version of the Big Boy sandwich. Thanks for watching, @Lawomenshoops

[@Lawomenshoops]

@@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV here in California, Bob’s sell tartar sauce in bottles at grocery stores. It’s good with fish. But I would never put this on a burger.

[@EvanSutton2015]

Unfortunately Frischs has gone down hill over the years it isn’t as good as they used to be.

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

@EvanSutton2015, we are sorry to hear that you have not had a good experience at Frisch’s recently. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! We wish you a very Happy New Year!

[@blushbaby5278]

Poor little boy's names is Henry such an elderly man's name

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

@blush baby - Henry was the 34th most popular boys name in America the year he was born, so there’s a lot of toddlers out there with this name. We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy and displeased with his name but to each their own. We absolutely love his name. Thanks for watching.

[@DeniseLogan-c8t]

Big Boy was around when i was growing up i still think big boy is just as cute as all ways i for one will miss him a lot😢😢

[@justchillin6117]
