Fast, friendly service offering delicious burgers, sandwiches, salads, milkshakes, breakfasts, and more! My personal favorite, the Frisch Deluxe, is a juicy beef patty joined by cheese, bacon, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and a pickle between Parmesan sourdough bread. When it comes to classic burgers, it doesn’t get much better than this. The location is awesome and is located in an old blacksmith shop, complete with an old Ford Pickup Truck, fireplace, and lots of awesome antiques that make this place feel really special. I really enjoy myself every time I come here.

Ordered pick up chicken tenders, I had just ordered them so the food should have been fresh. The chicken was bland, dry, and didn't taste like Chicken. The fries had no seasoning on it, wet, and soggy. Very disappointed with the food especially from an establishment that had such good food.
Also, all the tables had 8 foot plastic partitions between tables. But the sides and over the top was open. Little over kill and no common sense on the COVID stuff

Beautiful visually and amazing food! Very laid back and helpful attitudes all around, they can take my whole paycheck and I wouldn't mind.

In Irvine for a football camp and only ate at this place because it was in the same parking lot as the hotel we are in and everyone was tired and hungry. The food was terrible to say the least and borderline disgusting. I got the fish and chips and the fish was the driest I've ever had in my life, the breading was wilted and not crunchy, and it was bland as all outdoors. Had to drink Gatorade just to get it down, and couldn't even finish one piece. Fish definitely wasn't fresh and probably sat on a counter for 2 days before they served it.. The fried mushrooms were burnt, or the grease needs to

I visited for lunch on Tuesday, 12/28. It was not busy and there were many tables available. There were three of us. We ordered separately and took a table. Two of our meals were ready quickly. The third, it turns out was lost. They quickly made the salad and brought it to our table. The food was good and hearty. I had a bowl of chili that was just the right amount. The chicken quesadilla platter looked huge.

The food at this place has gone downhill. It's no wonder the rest of the locations have gone out of business. I've recently had the fish and chips & chicken strips and they were horrible..They need to change their fryer grease more often. Their ranch tastes sour and is not good. They used to be packed during lunch buy the last few times iwadhear during the lunch hour it was dead. I predict this place will be out of business soon like the rest of their places.

Once there were 3, now there is 1. Recently a lot of unique eating places have closed permanently. I do not wish to see this location close. However, the quality and experience I had on my first visit to this location were regrettable. The phrase 'it's always winter and never Christmas' pops into mind. Likely because there were Christmas decorations and lights up, but it felt anything but festive, fun, celebratory, inviting, or happy. It was dreary, very odd. Food was ok, I wouldn't ever come again had I not had the same items before and loved them. Fries are great, burgers are pretty good. Lemonade

4.5 stars. Great little place, easy access up the 5 freeway, lots of parking. Love the inside decor: pool table, walk up soda fountain with both Pepsi and Coke products for those who are particular in which is better, TVs, a couple arcade games, and a sit down counter at the old truck. The Tool room is a great room for bigger parties. Had the Burger and a Cobb salad. The burger was very good. A throwback comfort joint, perfect for what it is meant to be. 👍 I took off a .5 star because they were pretty slow in taking orders. It's a walk up to order place and there was a little Monday 11:20 lunch
