Stopped in after a show at Niswonger and it was great. Our server, Savannah, was sweet as all get out and was wonderful to my daughters. Overall great experience. Definitely will return if we can have hee every time.

Tonight is the first time that we ate at a Fricker's restaurant. We waited about 10 minutes before a server attended our table. We ordered the Ribs and chicken. After about 15 minutes the waitress came over to tell us that they were out of the Ribs. Then we ordered the BBQ chicken chunks, Garlic Parmesan chicken chunks, a cheeseburger, Mac n cheese, and brew city fries. We changed tables because the wooden stools were too hard for sitting for a long time. We waited about 45 before the food arrived. The only item that came hot to the table was the fries. Everything else was cold and barely luke warm. They weren't that busy and not packed with customers. The service was not good. The other 2 servers in the dining room didn't acknowledge us at all. They didn't even smile at us. Our server didn't come over to ask if we wanted a drink refill until we got her attention. She refilled my boyfriend's drink once. We will not go back there again. The table was dirty when we sat down. Two other tables still had the dirty dishes for awhile because the waitresses were busy talking to customers. We asked a server to clean the table and she said she was sorry for the table being dirty and sticky! Not cleaning tables properly will make them sticky! We're very disappointed with their service! Not a good first time experience at all.

The food was good but it took a little bit for the food to come out. We had a group of 6, so our order was large. Our server was awesome and made sure we were taken care of during the wait.

Great to have this regional restaurant open once again with all the COVID issues going on. The chicken wings are just as delicious as I remember them!

Staff is super-friendly, as always, and just happy to have customers back! Of course, things are different now, but everyone is taking it in stride. The atmosphere is still fun and upbeat. Great to be back!

Visiting a friend here in Van Wert, Ohio & stopped at this Frickers to grab some supper. Was not impressed. As people I know saying "oh try this place, best chicken around" Ummm no. Yeah it was nice n hot n fresh but absolutely no flavor in the breading. They do not make there wings 'wet' as to what the waitress said. They do not have buffalo seasoning sauce. When I think of 'wet' chicken wings I think of mild buffalo sauce on them. So I tried a lil cup of their bourbon BBQ sauce, it was just ok. The one thing I really liked was the beer cheese with the pretzel bites. (Definitely try those) Our waitress was ditzy & kept forgetting things. Maybe she was having a bad day, still tipped her well. 😉 Could be a great place to go & grab some alcoholic drinks & watch a sports game for people but I do not drink nor do I watch sports. This place reminds me of a Buffalo Wild Wing (BWW) restaurant. The game room had 8 games to play. Which to me wasn't interesting enough to play but when I was leaving I seen this Chucky Chevy sitting out in the parking lot & this totally made my experience at Frickers so much better lol 😀

We went on a Wednesday which happened to be my birthday. They don't do anything special for birthdays. I ordered a steak rare it came back medium. Well obviously it's not a steak joint it's a chicken place. We had a wonderful server she was very nice checked on us often. Has a cool little arcade-like thing going on in the back bring your quarters

There was a strange odor when we walked in. When the food came it tasted like the place smelled. It was like the grease was a couple years old.
1st time going and will be the last.
Our waitress was excellent, she gets 5 stars.

It was good and reasonably priced. I had the Ribs and wings naked with a ceaser salad that was ok with it had some cheese on it. I will try the house next time. The ribs rest was good. The drinks were priced very well.
