A Season Served by the Slice
Fall in Cincinnati has many markers. The leaves turn along the Ohio River, football season takes over Paycor Stadium, and apple orchards open their gates. Yet for thousands of Tri-State diners, autumn does not truly begin until Frisch’s declares it so. This September, the restaurant chain has made its announcement. Pumpkin pie season has officially returned.
A Slice of Tradition
Frisch’s Original Recipe Pumpkin Pie has been baked the same way for generations. The recipe is simple, comforting, and consistent, creating a taste that connects families across decades. For many, it is not just dessert but a ritual that welcomes fall year after year. Guests can purchase a whole pie for $14.99 and receive a bonus offer of $5 off their next $25 purchase, making it both a nostalgic treat and a seasonal value.
Pumpkin pie leads the charge, yet it is joined by an ensemble of other favorites. Coconut, peanut butter, chocolate, cherry, apple, pecan, and cheesecake round out the dessert menu, offering something for every table.
More Than Pie
Fall also brings comfort food back to the forefront. This year, Frisch’s menu highlights include:
Pretzel Bacon Beer Cheese Smashed Boy
Pretzel Sticks with Beer Cheese
New Meatloaf Dinner
Chicken Pot Pie
$7.99 Weekday Wakeup Deals for guests 55 and over, available Monday through Thursday until 11 am at participating locations. Options include two eggs and meat with hashbrowns and toast, or eggs and meat with two pancakes. Each deal includes coffee or a soft drink.
These seasonal features underline what Frisch’s has long stood for: hearty, affordable meals served in familiar dining rooms across the region.
A Regional Footprint
Frisch’s Big Boy operates 31 locally owned and operated restaurants across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. The full roster of participating locations is as follows:
Frisch’s is more than a restaurant. For families across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, it is a gathering spot tied to childhood memories, post-game dinners, and holiday traditions. The return of pumpkin pie is not just about flavor. It is about community, continuity, and the comfort of a familiar ritual that marks the change of seasons.
As Cincinnatians look toward crisp nights and fall festivals, Frisch’s offers a reminder that some traditions never go out of style.
