We love Fricker's, it's typical a lunch spot for me every other month with work friends. But…read moreRichelle reminded me we haven't been to a Fricker's together EVER. Now we have a reason to go on Sundays for lunch or dinner too. Our waitress Kelly, was having a bad day, but she still had a smile and helped guide us to the Sunday Special, the Parkmoor chicken. The Parkmoor chicken is our new favorite, it's like a biscuit breading on tenders, it fantastic! Portion is enough to share, but you will not want to! We might end up at a Fricker's on some Sundays to watch NASCAR and eat Parkmoor chicken! The Lima location was clean, and typical Fricker's atmosphere, tell Kelly hi, if you see her, she cares about the customers.

I've given this Frickers three attempts and all three have been bad. The food isn't worth the slowness and awful service. I can only assume the same people run the one in Van Wert, because they have the same issues. Go to BDubs down the street, you'll be much happier.

This restaurant is in a small town and kind of out in nowhere so kudos to you having staff available to work. The turkey breast was juicy and flavorful but I gotta admit, my favorite was the snickerdoodle cookies on the dessert table. I had two. I work in a large food service job so I know how tough it is to pull off. Well done.

Sharing for safety (not my story, but absolutely credible):…read more Last night . . . I just worked a 12.5-hour shift in the ER. Im in Van Wert, Ohio. I'm two hours from home, so I'm staying in a hotel. Exhausted, I decide to grab a bite and a beer before heading back. I went to this local sports bar, walk in, and take a seat at the bar. Before I can even sit down, heads turn, people staring from the left side of the bar. And in my head, I already thinking: "Here we fucking go." But I keep my cool. I ask this the lady to the left if anyone's sitting in the open chair, she says no, so I sit. I'm browsing the tap list, trying to decompress. Not even 30 seconds go by before I hear the same lady say "Trump." A group of about six or seven people are with her are chatting. Then I hear a woman murmur, "Ehh, no. I'd never let him touch me." Seconds later, a man responds, "Well, scoot closer to me then." And just like that, the woman shifts her chair away from me. I'm still trying to act unfazed, looking at the TV playing the Cubs game, playing on my phone, interacting only with the bartender. Then again, from my left, more Trump talk. Someone on the screen is wearing a red MAGA hat. The woman says, "I wonder how they feel about him wearing that hat there." A man replies, "He shouldn't give a fuck what anybody says." She whispers, "We probably shouldn't say this stuff too loud around here. Someone might get offended." He answers, "That's his problem." At this point, I can't even concentrate on the menu. All I can think about is how I've been showing up here, caring for this same community, doing my best in their only ER, and this is how they really think of people who look like me. I'm nearly done with my beer when the couple beside me asks for their check. They stand to leave, say goodbye to the group beside them, and that's when I hear it: "Don't forget your niggers." My heart stopped. Blood rushed to my face. Time froze. Do I say something? Throw my beer? Walk out? Fight? It felt like an eternity, but it was less than a second. My head doesn't turnn towards them. I just keep looking up at the TV. Someone murmured what sounded like a correction and then louder: "I said his Nickers!" And they all laughed like it was the funniest thing they'd ever heard. I sat there, stunned, feeling every emotion at once rage, humiliation, fear, heartbreak. I knew I had to leave. The bartender came back, asked if I was ready to order food. I told her I'd just take the check. I paid. Got up. Walked toward the door. TVs were blasting. Music playing. Noise everywhere. And just as I pushed the door open, someone shouted clear as day: "NIGGER." I stutter stepped, tucked my head down, and I walked to my car in utter disbelief. I sobbed. Sobbed from frustration. From rage. From sadness. From exhaustion. From fear. How is this the world I live in? No one in that whole town knows me. But because of the color of my skin, they felt entitled to break me down. Humiliate me. Push me. Provoke me. Try to turn me into a headline. And you know what? Not a single person in that bar stood up. Said a word. Spoke out. Not the waitress. Not another patron. No one said a thing. And the crazy part? I still had my scrubs on. Not that racists care what you do for a living. But it's just so ironic to me. One day, I might be the nurse keeping them or someone they love alive. And they couldn't care less about my life. So again I ask, Are we great yet?

My team had lunch here and the best way we could describe our experience was....OK. Mind…read moreyou..Biggie is in the middle of no-where so your choices are non-existent. However, you might be better served driving a little further. Biggie's dinning room is full of local, state, college, and professional memorabilia. This is very interesting! During our visit we were the only customers for the 1pm lunch. The waitresses were OK...not really friendly or helpful. They just got the job done. Several times we helped ourselves to refills because it took all them to make our meals at once. We ordered fried pickles and mushrooms. The mushrooms were small and in pieces...and not very tasty. The pickle spears were actually pretty good. I had the wings (one of their specialties). They were good sized but covered in an off-the-shelf BBQ sauce - nothing special. The side salad was large and not bad. The macaroni salad was not good! The Italian sub and waffle fries were described as being sub-par and not real tasty. The Biggie burger was said to be good. Apparently the chicken wrap was pretty good. Next time I'd go for one of their other specialties - pizza. The prices weren't bad. Another interesting note is Biggie is located next to the railroad track. A train did come through and rattle the restaurant. Not too loud though.
