Foodie Friday Dolly’s

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you are having a great Friday!

Man, do I ever have a yummy Foodie Friday for you? We visited Dolly’s for the first time yesterday. Below is the backstory for my non Ohio tri-state readers. 

Frisch's was a local favorite restaurant for many decades. Late last year, all but a couple of locations closed. We were all saddened to lose a staple restaurant in our area. Frisch’s was always part of our lives! What were we going to do?

There were rumblings of Big Boy restaurants moving into the Miami Valley after Frisch’s closed. Big Boy and Frisch’s were competitors. Their menus were much the same. Big Boy would not move into Frisch’s market while Frisch’s was still open. A huge uproar took place in local courts and media. Frisch’s was trying to block Big Boy.

They came up with a different plan, and Dolly’s was born. I have heard that over 50 old Frisch’s locations will now house Dolly’s by summer. They started opening last month! We are excited to have something like Frisch's again!

A Big Boy character is the mascot for Frisch’s and subsidiary restaurants. A Big Boy statue was usually out in front of the buildings. Dolly was Big Boy’s girlfriend in a comic in the kids menus.

Now you know about Dolly’s. The food was very good. We got the Big Boy, aka The Signature, at Dolly’s. It is slightly different but delicious. The onion rings and fries were good. The Hot Fudge cake was out of this world scrumptious! It was hand-dipped in ice cream, and you got the choice of vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice cream!

I will close with my Dolly’s pictures. Aunt Theresa, Mamaw and Papaw joined Mom and me. We enjoyed our time with them!

See you tomorrow.
