    We went to this place on a recommendation from a couple we met on the river and it did not fail to live up. The staff was friendly and attentive. Our drinks were never empty. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. We sat in the back restaurant area. The atmosphere was intriguing. There are various locomotive pieces and unique lighting throughout. I would recommend this place for a quick bite or a full family meal. Definitely going back.

    We highly recommend this restaurant! My husband and I are on a several week long road trip, and finding local restaurants with good food can sometimes be a challenge. We looked at the menu and were delighted to find a grass-fed pork chop. The reviews for the restaurant were very good on Google and so we gave it a chance. Frisco's absolutely delivered! Things started off on the right track when we walked in and were instantly greeted by the hostess. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and gracious. The cocktails menu was full of options - I had an old fashioned that had some serious muddling going on! Both the House salad and the Caesar salad were very good, and we really liked the homemade salad dressings. The pork chop did not disappoint! It was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. I had a baked potato, and my husband had asparagus. We closed with a berry pie for dessert that was heated with vanilla ice cream. It was so delicious! Don't miss out on a wonderful restaurant with a great local vibe, and people who truly care about good service and serving delicious food. If we are ever in town again we will absolutely be back! A great night - highly recommend!!

    Enjoyed an impromptu mini family reunion with my folks and cousins; they even gave us a private room! Ciara served this wild/loud bunch and it felt like she was part of the family. The menu was interesting, even has Frog Legs and Braised Rabbit as specials. We received special attention and a table visit from the Chef, the Bartender AND the owner! What a perfect place to laugh, catch up and enjoy treasured memories with family! Thanks Frisco’s!!

  • Grace Trentmann

    Frisco’s is one of those rare gems where you can actually taste the love in every bite. The food is incredible, but it’s the people who truly make the experience unforgettable.

  • Rebecca Yoder

    Excellent service! I ordered the Cuban, and it was the BEST Cuban sandwich I ever had! The homemade chips were delicious as well as the spinach/artichoke dip. I definitely rate this place 5 stars!

  • Kenneth Hinrichs

    Excellent service on both visits. The waitresses are young and well informed and very attentive. Ciara and Mckenzie were our waitresses! Both were excellent! Kenzie was training a new waitress and we think she also will be very good.

  • Chris Holdiman

    This place is an amazing experience in the heart of Cuba Missouri, just off old Route 66. The food is incredible everytime I come here. Friendly and quick service. Frisco's is one of the absolute best in the area.

  • Sierra Aligholi

    Great laid back place to grab a bite! I got the Frisco melt (of course, did you see the name of this place) it was AMAZING. They have a huge selection of draft drinks with prices you can’t beat. Will always come here when I’m in town!
