I hung out there a LOT in the late 60's as it was one of the car guy places. Everytime I go back to Dayton (twice a year) I drive by and I THOUGHT the building was still there and I could picture the drive in area around back. BUT then someone told me a few weeks ago I was looking at the wrong building and that the Frisches buillding was indeed GONE. Can someone set this old mind straight?

The building is gone indeed. Looked like a parking lot for big rig trailers. Roy Rogers building was also gone, I think. But the drive thru beer sales was still there. This was March, 2006. The motel across the street is still there too. That is what I remember anywy. Lots of stories about that particular Frische's. I cruised there in the early 70's. BRG 68 T-top Vette.
I just checked out Google Street View. The Roy Rogers building is still there, but is now a used car lot.

The Roy arogers Restaraunt was just to the North of Frische's closer to the river. The guys I hung out with used to park in their lot and watch the goings on next door. That way, we saved wear and tear on our cars and the security guards didn't mess with us.
BTW. I remember seeing your car. There was a candy red one too with a see-thru plexiglass L88 hood bubble. Also a white supercharged Chevelle with Heavy Chevy painted on the side.

and...
the reason why Roy Rogers was always next or close to Frisch's is that Frisch's owned the franchises. That relationship existed south of town and in Cinti also.

thomas - My dad had a white 6 cyl Rambler station wagon in the early to mid 60's. We swore we would NEVER buy another 6 cyl - Now I have a 6 cyl (actually my 2nd GN) that is a lot quicker than my old 435 hp 427 69 vette. Ah, technology (and turbos hee hee)

I have wonderful memories of cruising this place.I've been sitting here and recalling some very fond memories,and some embarassing ones,for about half an hour. I feel it was time well spent.That's what makes this site soooooo special to me.

There is a good picture of the building on this website at Dayton Images/Videos. It was called the Country Kitchen at the time the picture was taken and it became Frisch's on October 01, 1959.

Always hung out at Frisch's on Keowee every weekend. The Country Kitchen there on Wilmington was closer but always ended up there on Keowee. Onion rings, cherry Coke's. We even would travel to Wilmington Ohio to go to their Country Kitchen at times to have a change of pace. I had a red convertible 63 Chevy Impala. My older cousin had a green 68 Camaro and then a 69 SS Chevelle. Didn't realize those would be the " good ol days" when they were happening.

In the early 70's I spent many weekends cruising at Frisch's on Keowee. Actually met my wife there (long since divorced, though). I had a green 1969 Roadrunner with a 440 wedge, 390 rear end. Loved the cherry cokes and big boy burgers.

Back in the late 50's early 60's my 1956 plymouth, yellow and white no less, (parents car) went back and forth between Parkmoor on Shroyer then out to Frisches on Keowee, then down to the Frisches on in Moraine. That was back when fuel didn't cost anything. Alot of our friends had the same routine. Can't believe we did that for hours and the kids today would be bored out of their skulls. No problem for us though as we thought we were having a good time. If you also remember the 56 plymouth was using push buttons located in left corner of dash to get into your gears.
Pretty neat set up seeing as how I had learned to drive a stick shift in the steering column. Think I could still drive one of those things as have never forgotton the order of the gears.GOOD TIMES
