I hadn't been to Frisch's since high school and was looking for somewhere to take my hubby and mum for a filling lunch...figured it was time to let the hubs in on a great South Hills secret: Frisch's broasted chicken.
Broasting is...well, who knows and who cares. Broasting creates delectable "fried" chicken without the grease. Deliciously seasoned, crisp exterior and juicy interior. I prefer the wings, but all the cuts are delicious. I also really adore their coleslaw. It's got more tang than cream, just the way my gram used to make it. The fries are just ok, but I remember the broasted potatoes being pretty special so next time id order those.
You order from a cafeteria style line where you can make a salad from the pretty impressive salad bar, or pick up a boxed dessert on your way to the register. They then bring your food out to the table when it's ready. Be warned, the Broasting process takes 20-30 minutes, which is totally worth the wait. They do call ahead orders but I kind of like chatting with my dining companions while I wait!
