As previously reported by News Center 7, the Big Boy Restaurant Group (BBRG) announced that Dolly’s Burgers and Shakes will open its doors at the former Frisch’s on Springboro Pike in Miamisburg.
“Dolly’s is a classic spin on American favorite dishes. We offer. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert. I don’t know if you can see the buffet behind me, but we have our breakfast buffet,” Frank Alessandrini, the Vice President of BBRG said.
Dolly’s Burgers and Shakes announced on social media Friday that its hours will be daily from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m.
The new location opened up Monday morning at 7 a.m., and it did not take long for customers to be seated.
Merri Mercer attended the grand opening with her grandson.
“Grand opening. We go to all grand openings. Me and my grandson. We used to love Frisch’s, so we wanted to come and see what it was like,” Mercer said.
Mercer told News Center 7’s Mason Fletcher that she was disappointed to hear the news that Frisch’s locations were closing due to late rent payments.
“We were sad. I. Used to hang out at Frisch’s when I was a teenager. And then as I grew, we always stuck with it,” Mercer said.
Mercer tried the eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, and biscuits, and gravy at the grand opening and said that the biscuits and gravy was her favorite.
Overall, Mercer said she was a fan of the new restaurant.
“It was excellent. The food was nice and hot and very good,” Mercer said.
Alessandrini said that he’s been pleased with customer reaction and hopes it continues as they open more locations.
“I hope they just have a great meal. They have get to spend time with their families, see our friendly faces, and just have a nice overall meal experience,” Alessandrini said.
The next Dolly’s location on deck to open is slated for Troy, according to BBRG.
