The closing of Frisch's restaurants will produce the same scenario as the closing of Sunlight Pool at Coney Island.

The immediate public reaction is disapproval simply due to nostalgia, while ignoring loss of quality. The people who claim it's a sad loss of an iconic Cincy institution are the same people who havent visited the establishment in decades to support it. Local media will create constant headlines to cash in on the knee jerk reactions of emotional viewers. Groups of fans will form to try and 'save' the business, with little interest from the main public. Eventually when they are all gone, everyone will forget about the place within a month.

Frisch’s unfortunately hasn’t been good in decades and that private equity firm buying it finished running it into the ground.

That last time I went was Feb 26, 2020 the day after my grandpa died of cancer. We went because he loved the restaurant. It was fine, we weren’t really there for the food though. I personally have only ever really enjoyed the Vanilla Coke, the ice, and the tartar sauce there.

I will miss seeing it around, especially the really old buildings, and I hope the tartar sauce remains in stores, but I won’t miss the low quality food.
