I began visiting the Frisko Freeze in the mid-60s, but the place has been there since 1951. Externally it hasn't changed much over the years. It has always been a no frills joint with pretty decent, albeit small, burgers. In all the years I've gone there I've never had a good order of fries. The portion was generous, but that didn't make up for the luke warm potatoes. About the only thing the fries were good for was to scoop the tartar sauce out of the little cup. That said, I still enjoy the burgers. The entire sandwich is extremely juicy, and thus very messy. Because they're made to order, they're hot and fresh. They have a somewhat unique concoction of pickles, some relish, chopped onions, and shredded lettuce. When these ingredients mingle with the grease from the meat patty, it tastes surprisingly good. Service has been okay on the times I've been there. They've never messed up my order. But given the chaos that is extant during meal rushes I suspect a few orders have been screwed up. My son refers to their burgers as gut bombs. You can stuff them in pretty quickly, but all of a sudden you're bloated. Prices have risen over the years, but with the exception of electronic gadgets, what product hasn't? I still stop by now and then, but to be honest, I'd rather go to the Pick Quick in Fife. Their fries are much better, and their burgers are definitely competetive. I can only award 3 stars to Frisko Freeze.
Pros: Traditional walk-up take out. Simple menu--see below.
Cons: Few places to sit. Chaotic ordering system. Simple menu--see above..
