on Judys Book Feb 01, 2011Good: The food, especially the burgers and fries. The fries are extra crispy and go great with tartar sauce.. Bad: It can take up to 20-30 minutes sometimes to get your food when its busy since there is just one walk-up... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 28, 2008This is a place my dad would cruise to back when he was in high school. They have been making the same wonderful, greasy burgers forever. ... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 17, 2008Okay, the fries are okay. And the burgers are nice and juicy, but with the mediocre staff and the raising prices, why not just go to McDonal... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 13, 2008Frisko Freeze has been in business for as long as I can remember and I highly recommend them for good, greasy, cheeseburgers and fries. I... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 28, 2008This quaint to-go Drive-In restaurant is almost as old as Tacoma, and just as popular as ever. Parking can be tricky and the outside walk-up... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 30, 2008I went to Frisko Freeze on Sunday because I happened to be in Tacoma, and was craving a Pineapple Malt. What I got was a cup that was probably filled abou 1/4 full with malt and the rest filled w/ vanilla ice cream, no... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 08, 2008I 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,... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 05, 2008I have been a customer of this hamburger joint for 34 years. I remember the original owner working in it on some nights. If you have not read about him and how he helped out the high school boys he employed there, search... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2007After reading lander's review posted just today, i felt the need to say to the world that I couldn't agree more. I've been going to frisko freeze since i was a kid. I ate there at least once a week until recently. Being... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2007I'm so sorry this place has gone so far downhill. Long waits and somewhat high prices. I just left a few hours ago because my order was "missed"; this after waiting half an hour for a burger and fries. The gentleman in... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 06, 2007Best burger around. My father may work there, but I'm keeping this completely unbiased. the lines are almost always busy, and most people hate long lines. Me, on the other hand love lines, it is a sign that people like... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 28, 2007I moved to Tacoma about 3 years ago. Someone suggested this place and it was good (though pricey). I've gone another 6-10 times and every other time has been terrible. 1. One time I waited 50 minutes for fries. I... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 29, 2006I have been frequenting this establishment for about 30 years. Hands down the best burgers in the state. All those of you that whine about them need to go to McDonalds or Burger King if you are looking for the most amount... (more)

on Citysearch May 13, 2006After reading the reviews, my girlfriend and I excitedly dropped by this Frisco Freeze. We were expecting the old style burger, the "best in the Northwest." Onion ring jerky were over done, burgers were over... (more)

on Judys Book Jan 22, 2006Poor, lengthy service, and the food is somewhat more expensive than what I expected. I'm a Dick's Burgers fan, so this heavy greasy food that you have to wait a long time for is not high on my list of places to visit. I'd... (more)

on Judys Book Oct 06, 2005My husband and I live just a few blocks from Frisko Freeze, so the aroma of greasy food is almost always in the air. This is a drive-up restaurant specializing in all things fried -- plus ice cream, malts and sundaes. The... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 18, 2005I have searched the world in pursuit of a better burger. Haven't found one yet. These are a bit greasy... but good grease. Make sure you hold the burger flat after each bite or the grease/juices will run down your arm.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 21, 2005You might consider going somewhere else. While the food was okay in taste, the burgers were teeny-weeny and the price quite large. This drive through was recommended to us by our daughter who is a local. She had told us... (more)
