Best Cheap Breakfast Come-Back

The Frisco

Here's the perfect spot to get away from the usual crowd - as long as you can settle for just one flavor of coffee. For a while there, it looked like the Frisco was going the route of its parent company, the Nighthawk - to the land of legend, of mere memory. Earning its place among Austin landmarks, the historic Frisco was one of the first restaurants to serve an integrated clientele and hire an integrated staff. Its comeback this year has us all a-twitter. Serving some of the best milkshakes in town, Frisco Shop is the king of diner fare, with great burgers; affordable steak, chicken, and fish dinners - and yes, even grits. Some of the original staff still work at the old joint and they have the beehives to prove it.
