Had been here dozens of times over the years so when a buddy asked me if I wanted to go (first time in 2 years+) I didnt expect much. But, the food turned out great. I got the trio and it was enough for 2 people. He got the fricken chicken salad and devoured it, my girlfriend got the chicken filets and liked it but couldnt eat it all so we had boxes. The lighting was terrible and there was only 1 person working is my only complaint. With that said the person working did a wonderful job. She made sure everyone had drinks with minimal wait. No pictures as we were starving. Hadn't ate anything until then (4pm?) read more

These are my favorite wings ever. Service isn't super quick, but also didn't take overly long. Our waitress was very nice and checked on us a lot. I order my wings extra saucy and they delivered! read more

Fricker's - Buffalo 10 Piece Frickin Chicken Wings - A red oval plate with the Fricker's logo contains ten buffalo chicken wings coated in orange sauce. The plate is placed on a wooden table, and part of a plastic utensil and a glass are visible nearby. The wings are arranged in a single layer, and the sauce appears glossy and thick. - Chicken Wings Near Me - CINCINNATI, Ohio

We came in with a large group and tried to give the restaurant some grace -- we understand that serving a big table can be a challenge. Unfortunately, even with lowered expectations, the experience was a total disaster. The place was dirty from the moment we walked in -- sticky floors, unclean tables, and an overall sense of neglect. Despite our size, it took over 20 minutes just to get beers, and that was only after tracking someone down. Not once did a server proactively check on us. When the food finally arrived, it was almost laughable how bad it was. Cold fries, overcooked and flavorless mains, and drinks that tasted like they'd been watered down or left sitting. Nothing was fresh, hot, or even remotely satisfying. We were patient. We were polite. We gave them the benefit of the doubt. But no -- this level of service and food is unacceptable for any size group. Do yourself a favor and eat literally anywhere else. Here is a pic of the Moscow Mule for your enjoyment. read more

Fricker's - A "creamy" Moscow Mule? - Chicken Wings Near Me - CINCINNATI, Ohio

This place gone horribly down hill. I've been coming here for years & have personally watched the slow decline. Bartenders drunk standing on barstools AND going behind the bar to make her own drinks??I've been in the for over 20 years I've eopen restaurants & helped revamp others. This place needs some serious attention but obviously the owner doesn't so sad. Definitely won't be coming bacl read more

I love this place. Awesome atmosphere and cool staff. And the food was delicious. Cooked to perfection. Go by there you'll love it.

I rate this place 3 stars. I got the cheese quesadilla. It was good at first, but when I got to the second one the cheese tasted funny. But the bread part was okay. The service was good. I liked our waitress. It was very loud. Overall, it was okay. I would recommend it! read more

Fricker's - The cheese quesadilla from the kids menu. - Chicken Wings Near Me - CINCINNATI, Ohio

First, the stench of beer was in the parking lot as soon as we got Out the car... our server Hilary was sweet and did what she could being the only one serving. After the initial 12 min wait for drinks, she was timely and checked in with us, and even took off the 'cheddar balls' from the bill. Tables felt sticky Menu said fried cheese (moz and cheddar)- server called them Cheddar balls- they were over fried pieces of what tasted like Velveta- it was mushy. Gross so we sent them back. Fries were barely done- like still cold in the middle- not golden brown at all - tasted like onion rings fried in old Oil. Hot dog was decent- but seriously how could you mess that up. The wings also tasted like they were cooked in old oil and were super greasy with no flavor at all. Greasy on the inside and slightly slimy. Bartender was eating behind the bar, and a big group of people we're outside were smoking weed when my 9yr old and I were walking out. Like literally at the tables in front of the door and employees were right outside as well. Never again. Definitely NOT was frickers used to be. read more

Just started frequenting this place and the food is great, cool atmosphere, the people are awesome and Sarah is AMAZING!!! read more

Fricker's - Bar area - The image shows a bar counter with several beer taps, each labeled with different brands or types of beer. Behind the taps, there are multiple bottles of alcohol arranged on shelves. The bar area is illuminated with red lighting, and a television screen is mounted above, displaying sports information. The setting appears to be a casual sports bar or pub. - Chicken Wings Near Me - CINCINNATI, Ohio

Best wings! This is our go-to place. Drinks were delicious, service was good and food was the usual standard that we love!

Customer service. Ordered a delivery, when I received it the French dressing wasn't with my salad. Was at work and had nothing to eat with my salad. Needless to say that was a waste of money! read more

Fricker's was nasty. The place was dirty, the floor was sticky, and the whole place smelled off. I ordered the boneless wings and instantly regretted it--they were soggy, weirdly textured, and just plain gross. I seriously felt like I needed a shower after eating there. Never going back. read more

My name is John and this place is shit and the fries were ass. Tast like shit and the service was terrible

Fast and affordable. Got the charbroiled chicken salad. Good price for a salad, fast service and love all the TV placement choices to watch whatever sport on at the time! read more

Went to Fricker' for lunch today had an out of town co worker with me. One front house employee one cook. Absolutely the worst food I have ever been served in Cincinnati. I ordered their grilled chicken Caesar salad, I am quite sure they thought I asked for chicken jerky. Could not chew the desiccated meat. My companion ordered the slider combo. Sliders were completely dried out boneless wings as well and regular wing were undercooked and bloody. It took over twenty minutes to be greeted and 25 minutes to get our food. There were a total 14 customers in the place. If I could give less than a 1 star I would. read more

Wouldn't recommend anyone to go to this Frickers. We should've gone elsewhere when we were one of the only tables there on a Saturday afternoon. We were there to watch the Guardians game and get drinks. The service started out fine but the liquor drinks we were ordering had maybe a splash of liquor in them at best. They were out of almost every draft beer you can imagine. What kind of sports bar doesn't have your standard domestics on draft? After being there for over 2 hours we ordered food and were then informed by the manager that we were cut off. It would have been understandable if we were being rowdy but we were told that the server didn't feel comfortable serving us. We waited another 30 mins for our food and promptly left. No wonder this place is a ghost town!!! Wouldn't recommend giving your business to an establishment that doesn't even want your business. read more

I'm very glad I came here! It was past 11pm when I pulled into the Red Roof Inn next door, so nothing else around was open. But Fricker's kitchen is open until 1am, and the bar is buzzing until 2:30. And as it turns out, we got a pleasant meal for a reasonable price. They had "Chicken Chunks" on special, so I got them with a side salad. The meal was filling, and I sincerely dug those chicken things! They were like very plump popcorn chicken pieces, but with a nice, lightly battered exterior. My salad was good, and my pal's quesadilla, which was larger than we'd expected, satisfied him. The menu highlights the chicken wings, and there are other chicken dishes on the menu with a good variety of sauces. My pal was also impressed with the beer he ordered. He wanted something local, and got something that he likened to creme soda, but in a good way. We sat outside, but they have a bright, whizzy sports bar situation going on inside. This actually would probably be a really fun place to see a major sporting event, what with the dominating presence of their huge TVs around the bar. Service was very friendly and quick. If you're at Red Roof Inn and are weighing restaurant options, you should definitely consider Fricker's even if other places are open. read more

Horrid! Stopped here after having my car serviced at Kings Auto Mall. Early, Like 3 in the afternoon. To be fair, nice bar, TVs, and draft craft beer selection. In the past I have ordered wings here and they were OK. This time I ordered (to go), a pulled pork sandwich, pork tenderloin, and fried chicken sandwich. Here were the issues: * With only 8 people at the bar the bartender somehow lost my order and it had to be re-entered. * When I got the food home the pulled pork sandwich was the smallest sandwich EVER with about 2 ounces of meat on it! Looked like a slider but most sliders are bigger than that. * The pork tenderloin was grossly overcooked, small and dry! Had to throw it away it was that bad. *The chicken sandwich was the best of the bunch but nothing to write Home about. Stick with the wings here! I would be embarrassed to serve food like I received. read more

Slow service, understaffed and the manager waited on us. Extremely slow, food subpar. Avoid like the plague

Went there on a trip out of town. Food was at a great price and the bbq and wings were amazing. And my kid ate for free with entree. Woolf definitely go back again. read more

This has become the local "grab a beer after work" spot as well as a place that my friends who have left the area love to visit for their chicken fix. The draft beer selection and price is pretty fantastic, especially for the area. This alone is a great reason for all of us to head over here for a drink. Additionally, the staff here is very friendly. I feel like myself and my friends have a relationship with at least three of the lovely waitresses here and they make coming here frequently very enjoyable. I would recommend, as far as food goes, the chicken chunks and the brew city fries. The sauces here are not overly spicy so keep that in mind when selecting your sauce. I enjoy the little kicker sauce and find it around the level of the medium sauce at BW3's. I continue to come here again and again for the service, price, and food quality. It's a great chicken wing joint and I certainly prefer it to BW3's. read more

I ordered Boneless Wings in hot sauce and it was very tasty. I loved the fries and atmosphere of the joint and I'm surprised about these reviews would definitely recommend read more

Great wings, great location, and when they were open, a great place to have lunch or dinner. It's time customers step up to help out their favorites. Help these businesses during hard times. They need us, and have wings I love. read more

Fricker's - I just got back with another lunch of very good wings from Frickers. I try to support local businesses during this crisis. - Chicken Wings Near Me - CINCINNATI, Ohio

No service at all. Waited 20 min and no one waited on us or even asked if we wanted a drink.

Tried this again for the second time. Waited over ten minutes, no one even acknowledged me. From all the bad reviews on here I can't imagine they will be open much longer. Go to Hooters around the corner. read more

Staff is rude, slow and the restrooms are untouched some this place was a "Cooker bar& Grill" restaurant.

Food is great, awesome daily specials. Tall buds for under 3 bucks cant beat it. Inexpensive apps but enough to feed everyone. Staff is always super friendly(ask for Aubry). So many tvs every game is on...well hopefully soon lol. Damn corona read more

Fricker's - My oldest son & I coming to our favorite spot to watch the red legs. - Chicken Wings Near Me - CINCINNATI, Ohio

Waited for our food forever. We even ordered appetizers and they came out with the meal. When it finally came our wings were cold and other items we ordered were missing. Waitress asked my father if he wanted another beer, by the time he got the beer (10 minutes later) we were done and he didnt want it anymore. Took 10 minutes to get our bill and for her to charge two cards. Table behind us waited so long of their drinks they left without ordering. Horrible service read more

The food was terrible, most of it was undercooked even though it took forever. I'm most concerned with the kids meal coming out with pink chicken. read more

VERY STRONG 3 star. Glad we stopped off here on our way to the Nati to grab a bite. Easy on and off from I-71. Restaurant is large with plenty of seating and parking outside. The inside was clean and service was a high 3 to 4 star. Food was great minus my bbq wings. Hardly any sauce. I WILL make it a point to return and will most likely bump this review to a 4 star with another good visit. read more

Service at the bar was very slow. Waited 45 minutes for our food. When it finally came out it had obviously sat under the warming lights for way too long. Bar tender has one speed.... Slow. I'll never come back read more

Great wings, nachos and friendly/fast service on "wing night". Had some trivia game at the bar which was a little loud but didn't really bother us. Bathrooms could use some work. In any case, we'll be back. read more

Sitting here on SUNDAY during all football games and 15 - FIFTEEN! Tv's are out/not playing any games due to "direct tv". Haven't seen a server in 20 minutes. Would rather go somewhere with crappy food and good service than sit here and wait for mediocre food and one football game to watch. Watched the DJ get severed before myself AND the table next to me ...all they wanted was a hot order of fries... read more

Fricker's - a view of a sports bar - Chicken Wings Near Me - CINCINNATI, Ohio

If you are someone that wants a lot of eye contact while you dine out with a partner, don't come to this Fricker's. There are TV's everywhere! Big ones too. It's impossible not to look! For a sports junkie like me, it's perfect! A pseudo arena Jumbotron drops down from the ceiling over the main square-shaped bar. Each side has one 80" TV with two 47" TVs above it. One jumbotron, 12 TVs. The picture I posted of it does not do it justice. It's a sight to behold in person. There are four other 80" monsters on the walls. Even more 65" TVs adorn the walls at Fricker's. The general manager gave me the TV size run down yesterday. Added bonus for me, I've already been twice and each time there have been a few TVs showing the NHL Network. With hockey being my favorite sport, that's huge for me. Most of Fricker's menu revolves around the Frickin' Chicken they offer, and it's pretty good. Wings, chunks, salads, sandwiches, sliders, etc are among the many options that star the chicken. I've been satisfied with the portion size. Not too much, and not too little. Maybe except the Frickin' Chicken Salad. That's big enough for two people to share. A few negatives that kept me from 5 stars follow. When you order the boneless wings, dipping sauce like ranch and blue cheese costs extra. I wish that wasn't the case. Soda is over $2 (way over, if my short-term memory serves me correct). Ouch. The parking lot in front of the restaurant is very big. I don't think you'd ever have a problem parking here. I changed my mind, 5 stars. The frickin' Jumbotron is that cool. read more

First time visitor, I think the only positive was the cheap beer. The service was super slow and our waitress wasn't really good, we ordered appetizers and about 15 minutes later she came back with a perplexed look since we were still looking at the menu and asked if we wanted to order anything else...no, we just came here for appetizers..... I ordered a chicken wrap which was average at best along with some some potato wedges. My wife had a burger which was also average at best. We ended up being here for over two hours for dinner, most of that time waiting for our food even though the place wasn't jam packed super busy. If I decide to come back I'll sit at the bar and only get the cheap beers, but chances of that are small since I don't usually sit at bars to watch sports. read more

I had lunch here with a couple of friends and had the Fricken Chicken Sandwich. I think the sandwich is shrinking. I got the sandwich instead of the wings because I thought it was a better value. That was a mistake. My buddies had the wings and they looked good. Also, if you want spicy you need to move up the sauce ladder. I had Hot and did not think it was Hot at all. I think you need to go up to at least lil kicker. Our waitress was friendly and the service was reasonable. The curly fries are good. I think Frickers has lost their touch a little over the years. read more

Ive been to several different Frickers locations. Never had a bad experience. This location had super nice staff, a TON of TVs including what looked like a jumbotron behind the bar. It was actually pretty cool. The food was very good as well. We all had wings, burgers, fries, salad etc.. and no one had a complaint. Worth a return visit for sure. read more

Fricker's - Chicken Wings Near Me - CINCINNATI, Ohio

Used to be a nice place. Had issues with our chicken and the manager was rude and unhygienic. Will never eat here again.

This place has only ever been so so but now they're skimping in even the basic stuff. We ordered the chili cheese fries. They sent out a big ol basket of cold fries and this TINY LITTLE CONTAINER OF CHILI. Seriously, they shouldn't even charge extra based on this nonsense. Seriously, they could have put the chili in a shot glass and we would have gotten more. Also, husband's food wasn't fixed properly. This place goes downhill more and more every time we come here. Avoid it. There are better places to eat in Richmond. read more
