SAVOR iT!
While gazing up at the extensive menu, we ventured up to the counter trying to make a swift selection. Just a friendly suggestion: grab a printed menu and step aside until you can truly let the variety of choices sink in. Each item lists a full paragraph of description and with over 20 sandwiches, 14+ salads, and 10 ways to have a baked potato, you don't want to rush anything! There really is something for everyone on the Friscos menu. Vegetarians will love the Golden Gate Sandwich, featuring well…veggies, avocado, and Monterey Jack cheese, or the Mission starring melted brie on a French roll. Meat fans will adore the S.F. Fatboy; thick layers of ham, salami, bologna, with two kinds of cheese. If you're a “hot head,” then you've got to sample the kitchen-made hot sauce: Wicked Wolf. Now, I'm going to cut to the chase here. We've been back to Friscos more times now than I care to count…with every visit serving up a delicious meal. The staff is busy but friendly and helpful. Need a lid for your “take-home” portion? It's in your hands before the request is completely off your tongue. In all the excitement, did you accidentally choose something that features a surprise spice of which you are not a fan? No problem, there's a new selection in front of you in moments. Service here is swift and stellar! They really want you to enjoy every last bite. Which brings me to the Exploded Potatoes. The menu simply says “not your ordinary potato salad.” I'll say! The heaping portions of smashed potatoes, laced with a smoky richness, are served warm in a white foam cup. Quite possibly the most amazing thing I've ever eating from a foam cup, or on an expensive dinner plate for that matter. Amazing. So, like I said…you've gotta go to Friscos. a.k.a.
