Married couple Takis and Joanne Frisco Stathoulis opened their first 1950's-style diner in 1982. There are now two, one in Long Beach, another in the City of Industry. The menu is the typical diner situation, a list of everything including pizzas, burgers, ribs, sandwiches, salads, and more. While Frisco's doesn't have the storied history that some of the classic drive-in restaurants on this lists do, its dedication to the genre garners it a spot on this list. Afterall, as Ms. Stathoulis boasted, not only do they have curbside service, but their carhops sing and dance.
