When Can Kids Eat Free? 

Guess what? Mondays just got a whole lot less manic and a tad more affordable thanks to Frisch’s Big Boy. Why? Because KIDS EAT FREE! Yep, you read that right. So, if you’ve been wondering how to keep both your wallet and your kiddos full, here’s your answer.

For every adult meal you snag for just $6.98 or more, your little munchkin (12 and under, mind you) gets to feast for FREE. And for those teeny-tiny tots under 3? They get a complimentary pass to the Kids Soup, Salad ‘n Fruit Bar with every adult Salad Bar or Breakfast Bar you order. (Just a heads up, though, they’ll have to bring their own sippy cup because beverages aren’t on the house.) This offer is valid on dine-in, carryout, and drive-thru orders as well.

But wait, there’s a catch! This oh-so-delicious deal is on the table for a limited time only. So, slide into those stretchy pants and make a dash to your nearest Frisch’s Big Boy this Monday.

The iconic Big Boy brand.

When Did Frisch’s Big Boy Start?

Frisch’s Big Boy had its humble beginnings in 1946 when Dave Frisch started selling Big Boy hamburgers at the Frisch’s Mainliner Drive-In. Just a year later, in 1947, Dave Frisch entered into a licensing agreement with Bob Wian, marking the official birth of the Frisch’s Big Boy brand. The first standalone Frisch’s Big Boy Drive-In restaurant, aptly named Big Boy One, made its debut on Central Parkway north of downtown Cincinnati. This marked the start of a journey that would see Frisch’s rapidly expand its presence in the restaurant industry.

The franchise continued to grow, and in 1949, David Frisch opened three more Big Boy Drive-In Restaurants, including the first one in the state of Kentucky. This expansion continued into the following year, with the opening of the fifth drive-in.

By 1954, Frisch’s had already established a presence with 20 units in Greater Cincinnati, and it had begun sub franchising the Big Boy concept to other regions. This move allowed the beloved Big Boy hamburgers to find their way into new communities, and by 1961, over 150 drive-ins were serving customers under the Frisch’s banner.

Despite the passing of David Frisch in 1970, his legacy lived on as the franchise continued to thrive under the leadership of dedicated individuals like Jack C. Maier, who was elected president and chairman of the board, and later, Craig F. Maier, who took on the role of president and CEO, ensuring that the tradition of great food and service persisted through the years.
