Lakewood & Whittier, CA — Classic 1950s Carhop Drive-In

Our Story

Frisco's Carhop Diner has been the dream of Takis Stathoulis — a Greek immigrant, vocalist, and general contractor — and his wife Joanne Frisco Stathoulis, a creative and artistic restaurateur. In 1981, they opened the first of what would grow to seven restaurants, creating a 1950s-style diner that restored the good old days of family dining.

Through Takis and Joanne's unique and constant creative ideas, Frisco's and the Carhops have become world-renowned, attracting people and media from here and abroad. Every Frisco's has its own unique flavor and ambiance.
