Fricker’s

3 couples met here for dinner, none of us from Van Wert. Very average chain food. Wish I had read a previous reviewers comments on the boneless wings, could have saved myself the trouble. None of the food came out particularly hot.
We enjoyed the atmosphere, all being sports fans. Lots of televisions. Enough going on around us without it being too loud to talk.
Our server was very good. Always around if we needed a refill.

Saturday late afternoon, seated myself. Waitress seemed to be out of it, when asked questions she would pause for long periods of time and seemed like she wasn’t aware of what’s going on. Ordered the wings & ribs, the ribs were very good as well as the wings. Food was 4 stars. The service however was 2 stars. When eating hot wings, I prefer to not have to wait long periods of time before getting a refill. The place was loud, football was on which was fine however the kids there who were playing the video games were loud and throwing the balls at the wall. (I blame poor parenting not the restaurant. In conclusion food was good, service a little awkward*

The staff are very nice, but the food is not. Even my small children do not like the boneless chicken. And they LOVE chicken! The pizza is okay…

We pickup food from here quite frequently. My husband and I love the sweet chili sauce. While my husband prefers the boneless I say the traditional is the only way to go. They are different style than a lot of the other wing places however I think they are bigger and better. Then fried pickles are good but recommend only order when dining in (as with most fried food it gets soggy when packing in a to go container). Would they compete in a large metro area? Maybe not, but considering that this is small town USA it’s good quality food. We haven’t used the kids eat free but for families it is probably another positive.
Service: the reason for the downgraded rating. What happened on Dec 13^th is unforgettable. We ordered a very large take out cater type order. 150 wings for a party event. I called on Tuesday of that week to place the large order for Sat pickup. When my husband arrived at 430pm for the designated pickup we were told that they had forgot to put our order in the que and if we still wanted them it would be a 20 min wait. This meant that our dinner time listed on our party invite was not going to happen. Okay still somewhat forgivable. When I called the manager to voice my frustration, after stating that they had a very busy day the manager still had not offered any sort of discount or credit. When I again expressed my disappointment he actually stated «I have already apologized. Perhaps if you would have called to remind us of your order…» Okay I admit I dropped the F bomb on him. For a manager to actually tell a customer that they should have called to remind him to do his job is flat out terrible managing. In the end he gave us a heavy discount but I still cannot forget the fact that they apparently employ what in my opinion is a worthless manager who I hope isn’t living up to their corporate values.

Get this out-​of-​the-​way first… The boneless wings were kinda lame. They were skinny and dry and I was glad that they were on special for really cheap price today — and I wasn’t even buying the dinner tonight. It really didn’t matter cuz the boneless we just chalked up as a failed experiment.
Now for the rest of the meal… my colleague and I (both sales guys who eat at a lot of restaurants) each got the frikkin chicken sandwich and we both thought it was frikkin awesome. The chicken was plump and juicy, the bun was the right size and fresh, the lettuce & tomato were cool and cheese was just hot enough to be melty.
Gotta say — it really was a lot better than either of us expected.

Great food… for the price! On this visit I was here on a monday. The special was .50 cent boneless wings. I decided to try a couple of new sauces on the menu that they offer. They do require that you order the wings in multiples of 10 so the minimum you can order on .50 cent Mondays is actually 10 wings for $ 5.
I ordered 5 wings of the bourbon molasses and 5 wings of the garlic parmesean. I was told that normally that I could not order multiple sauces on a 10 wing order. The bartender just mentioned this and still took the order as I stated it. As a traveling sales person I did think that this rule is not friendly to the person dining alone. I tried the bourbon and molasses sauce and the garlic parmesean. The stand out was the bourbon molasses sauce which was quite tasty. It tastes similar to a jerk sauce minus cloves. The garlic parmesean sauce was also good and tasted just like a garlic butter parmesean breadstick from your local Pizza Hut. The service was great and the atmosphere was everything you want in a sportsbar.

Big beers, great wings!

We ate here once and in short the services was good and prompt but the food IMO was just average. This is a sports bar first that serves food. I had the Baby Back ribs and boneless wings dinner which came with fries. The baby back ribs were good although I’ve had better.
The boneless wings are something i wouldn’t order again. I’ve never ate boneless wings so maybe had i chose the regular wings they would of been OK. They definitely cant stand beside Buffalo Wild Wing’s that’s for sure. With that being said i wouldn’t order the wings again.
Service was exceptional and this place was annoyingly loud but hey its a Sports Bar i suppose. They have plenty of booze and big screens. Overall if you want a few drinks and wanna watch some games on huge TVs its great. Food is very acceptable but for me its not a place i am interested in eating at as a priority. Give it a try you may like it but i prefer exceptional food when i eat out.

Have been there many times & the service was alright.
This time the service was horrible. Took forever to get greeted, took forever to get three waters while the table next to us got beers before us, took forever for our food, no napkins, no one asked how we were doing with our food. I didn’t feel very welcome.
I can promise I won’t be going there anymore.

It’s nice to have some place where all NFL football games are shown in one place. There is no shortage of TV screens
