Fricker’s

For the type of place that this is, we were pleasantly surprised by the food and the service. It’s definitely bar food, but it was done well. Our service was great and the prices were low. It appealed to my two year old, my partner and I, the in-​laws, and our grandmother. We don’t live in town, but visit annually. We will probably be back!

We were in town for the Troy Trojan football tournament. We had a few hours between games so we spent some significant time at this restaurant. The restaurant was crowded because of the OSU game and the tournament. However, I have to say that the service was poor. The wait for a table was reasonable considering the crowd size. Once we were seated, the server took our food and drink orders within a few minutes. We were a party of 12 (6 adults and 6 kids). After that, service went down hill. After more than 30 minutes we still hadn’t received our drinks. A second server saw that we had been sitting too long so she went to the bar. She found a bunch of drinks on trays so she brought them over to us. There were 4 drinks missing and one extra lemonade so we weren’t sure it those drinks were ours. We took them anyway and asked for the rest of the drinks. After more than 15 additional minutes, we finally got the rest of the drinks. During that first hour, one of us got a bowl of chili but no other food arrived. After an hour and 15 minutes, two of us got our meals. The other 10, finally got their food about an hour and a half after ordering. The server was seen multiple times around the area but never came to check on us until we asked about the drinks. As for the food, it was decent but unspectacular. I am not sure I would return to this Frickers. While I realize they were busy but I think the service was below par even taking the crowd into consideration.
