I don't know what it is about this place but EVERY time we go there, we get sick. The first time we thought maybe it was just a fluke and not the food. After the second time, we were pretty certain it was the food. The bathrooms are disgusting. My fiancé said the men's restroom was also gross and not clean. The table next to us was getting into a fight and yelling cuss words (with small children around) and the establishment let it continue without intervening at all. Some people had way too much to drink but we're still being served alcohol. Service isn't too bad, our waitress was prompt but also appeared frustrating and annoyed to be serving us. read more

Would not cook my burger medium rare. If I wanted a mediocre, overcooked burger, I'd go to McDonald's.

The first time I ate at this location, it was terribly slow and an overall bad experience. I should have learned my lesson. Ate there a second time with my girlfriend. We ordered an appetizer and it never came. Ohh, here it comes with our wings! When I questioned the waitress, she said "Sorry, I didn't know when you wanted the appetizer" and then walked away. It's a loud place, which I don't really mind. The food is mediocre. The service/kitchen is terrible. I wish we had a Toot's restaurant in this area, as they put Frickers to shame. read more

I'd give this a zero if I could. Literally atrocious service. I've never given a 0 tip in my life but did tonight.

We have been going to Fricks for 20+ years... hung in there thro management changes. This week, an 18 year vet bartender's day was taken because of a dollar short... yes a dollar! And then she was told she couldn't have a second job, although she never signed a non-compete agreement ( and she has a 2nd job for the last 2 years)... the kitchen manager and the GM told her this. My family and and I literally came in to see her, bc of regardless of how shitty the kitchen was (and it SUCKS) we always had a great time with her. my family will not be back bc Fricks, 1st liability bc no non-compete contract... and they Suck... the kitchen is constantly messing up, management plays high school. Strong women build each other up, and the weak prey on each other. read more

This wasn't bad at all. The food was good. I want to say that it's all kind of average but the service was good the food was good it all wasn't bad. I had a good experience for a lunch service. I had the naked ranch dry rub wings and their fries. It was all middle of the road. I would come here again. The food was cooked well so props for that and everything was proper temperature. Good experience. read more

Fricker's is a great place to have wings, beer, and all sorts of crazy foods! It has some of the best-tasting chicken wings I've ever heard of in the history of the world! No other place in all of Ohio sells wings quite like Fricker's does! So yeah, pretty great place. 9/10. Would go again. read more

Chicken wings are probably one of my favorite foods. I order a 10pc and I asked for them to be well done. Needless to say some of the wings were undercooked and unseasoned. It tasted like they used some old wings and tried to re-cook them and did a poor job of it. read more

Wonderful service and delicious food. The margaritas were worth the trip for sure. One of the best I've ever had. We look forward to visiting again. read more

Passing through Freemont, OH...decided to try it! Its basically an Applebees/TGIF wannabe. It was Thursday and they had a steak special. My wife ordered it...she wanted medium rare. It turned out "cold-steel" rare...not kiddin' about the coldness inside the steak. Sent it back...it was still rare....MEH! I had the chicken and pork sliders. Buns were mashed...frozen boneless chicken from Walmart. And was that a tablespoon of bbq pork portion? I should've had my wife's awesome tuna back at the hotel. At least the IPA was delish. BTW...can you make the letters on the menu any smaller...I think you can! I had to take pic on phone so we can enlarge it!! There was a guy that was coming to each table just being friendly...not an employee...was he the mascot? Bottomline...it wasn't freakin' good! read more

I ordered a well done burger and they gave me this. It was red and blood came out of it. If your pregnant cut it first so you don't get sick. I called them and they didn't sound like they care say away from Woodman dr Frickers read more

Favorite location. Nice staff, bartender always calls you Hun and the best wings. I was in New York and met a guy from The Dayton area. I asked him where are the best wings and he replied, Frickers. Cannot get wings anywhere else. read more

This is truly a great place to hang out and have some good times and watch some sports. As an restaurant they provide great food and have some some good tasting wings. Personally what I think really makes this place one worth coming back to is how nice and down to earth everyone is. Today we had Alex as our waitress and she did a great job of taking care of us. She always had a smile was professional and shared some great small talk. I know in the future when I come back for food with my family we'll be asking for Alex. read more

It's so so terrible, every thing tastes like old oil, idk how I forget this and go back.

Have had issues before but decided to give them one more try (bcuz its close to the house). Our waitress (tiffany, blonde hair, short) was amazing. She won me back read more

When we arrived we were told there would be a wait but they couldn't tell us how long. After sitting down we ordered an appetizer and some soup for the child. Then we placed our order. We waited well over 30 minutes for a burger two sliders some terrible chicken strips and sub par fries. The table next to us came in atleast 10 minutes after us, ordered after us and recovered their meals before us, we were also told the orders were put in at the same time, then the waitress returns to tell us it will he a few more minutes after she said she was going to go get it. Waitress was super nice and apologetic, but its takes the whole team to make a pleasurable experience read more

Nothing out of this world awesome. Decent wings, decent beer selection, burgers are so-so in my opinion. They always seem to be crowded and it's pretty much always louder than average, what can you expect from a pretty popular sports bar I suppose? Service always seems to be slow though! One positive is that kids eat free every day with when an adult order is placed, so that's pretty cool! Especially for those with big familes like we have! Not a place I seek out or crave nor is it a place I avoid, right in the middle for me! read more

Food is good, noise level is very loud, making conversation impossible and service is very slow! Not sure why this is, but it's always the case! read more

This Frickers is crazy busy most nights. Waitress are good. Never had a problem with the food at this one. Food is good and hot. Lots of tv's for the games. They have a large area in the back but seems to be booked a lot so no over flow to the back. Nightly seals m-t. It is loud. Fun to hang out with. Kid friendly. read more

Three things you should get here: wings (not the boneless stuff), bottle caps, and cheap domestic beer. That's it. *period* I'll preface by saying I love breaded wings. The sweet chilli sauce they have is terrific and the wings are always large and crispy. As an appetizer I normally get the bottle caps which are sliced, battered and deep fried (imagine that we're at a bar!) jalapeños. Holy moly these things are phenomenal! Crispy with the perfect-to-me amount of heat. Served with your choice of sauce. 40 cent wings are Tuesdays, and then they have various specials the other nights. This isn't a Ruth's Chris so I wouldn't recommend the $5 steak nights and the chunks here are plain and pathetic in size. You're better off with McNuggets from McDs... Come here for what it is, good wings and cheap beer....the occasional Keno game was fun too. read more

I came here with a big group of people. Don't get me wrong I completely understand if you're say a bunch of people at one time you're gonna be busy. Our waitress barely checked in on us. Now I am originally from the Buffalo, NY area. I understand that not a lot of places out of area are going to be good with their wings. But I will tell you, the wings here are crap compared. The breading is really gooey in a way. My sister ordered two different sauces for 20 wings thinking she would get 10 once sauce 10 the other. The waitress didn't clarify that they don't do that, she didn't even advise that the two sauces were going to be mixed and didn't ask if it was okay. If you're a busy restaurant don't sit all the people at the same time, that is why there are waits sometimes when you go into restaurants. Very bad with time management. The manager was very nice though I would like to say because we had an issue with the nachos and he took it of the bill. I would NOT recommend this place if it is busy or if you want some good wings. My mom left her coat there and she also called them and let them know and they didn't even put it to the side they left it wadded up on the floor and it was covered in food. read more

Fricker's - Gooey breading. Not even crunchy at all. - Chicken Wings Near Me - DAYTON, Ohio

I like to get the fish sandwich here. Makes a great lunch. The wait staff is friendly and quick and they have lots of tvs.

I would say that Frickers is pretty frickin' good! It's wings, which it's known for are done a few different ways and are done with a variety if sauces to choose from. Good bar, great deals, and great food. Although I've only had the wings, pretzel bites, and mini corn dogs everything else on the menu looks delicious. But again, go for the wings and you won't be sorry. read more

Upon arrival Sunday afternoon at 12:30pm, our family of 4 seated ourselves and I took my son to the restroom. We entered the restroom and looked at each other in horror of the smell....decaying vomit, diarrhea, feces odors all combined. Clearly festering remnants on the floor and on obscene toilets. We returned to our table and picked up the sticky menus from a table in the same condition. At this point, we were approached by a waitress who took our drink orders. We waited for 10 minutes and no drinks arrived. I found my mind on repeat with the notion of that nasty bathroom, concluding it must match the hygiene of the kitchen. We agreed to leave and I reported our experience to a surprised hostess. How is this place passing health code standards? read more

Ruined my Birthday meal with family... Nothing was good. Waited too long to be seated, waited too long to place order, and waited too long for food that didn't taste good. read more

I would like to tell you this was absolutely the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. It started alright with the waitress getting our drink order and our drinks to us within the first 5 minutes of sitting down. We placed our dinner order: broiled chicken sandwich with green beans, kids corn dogs and an order of chunks with bbq kicker. Nothing exciting and for a late Sunday before 5, this order should have been to us with in 15 minutes, 20 minutes tops. 35 minutes later, we still hadn't received our food nor had we seen a waitress in at least 15. I went to the bar to ask them to ring out our drinks because we were leaving. She went to get a manager, who was locked in the "manager closet" on the phone and when he heard there was a customer that was upset told whoever was on the phone he had to go deal with a customer. I told him I was upset and want to just pay for our drinks (tall Budweiser and a corona) and leave because we still hadn't received our food. He called me sweetheart, which is a completely inappropriate response to a customer, especially an upset customer and wanted to know if I wanted him to check on our food. NO that should have happened 15 minutes ago, by the server, not when a customer is complaining because they hadn't received their food. I had waited tables for 10 years, so I know how long it should take from greeting to invoice, a fact that I pointed out to the manager. He also mocked me to the servers that were at the front register and we overheard one of them comment "then let the bitch come up here and show us how to run the restaurant". First off, to call a customer a bitch loud enough for other people to hear it, should be a write up. Secondly, I COULD show her how to run a restaurant because I was on the opening team for several Darden restaurants, and as you know, only the best of the staff is on an opening team. I will NEVER go to another Frickers, EVER. This is a restaurant my husband and I used to frequent regularly but have watched it decline in service standards over the years. The servers need to be trained in more than just how to wear tight jean shorts and I wouldn't let the manager run a McDonalds. I think you should know if this is a model of the Frickers franchise you should be embarrassed. If I was a secret shopper, I would have failed this restaurant. read more

I wasn't expecting how thorough the safety protocols were at this Frickers! I felt very safe to eat and drink at this restaurant. I have been in many places that seem to be acting like this virus is gone when of course it isn't yet. I am always proud of Ohioans and Daytonians that are being diligent and respectful in order to keep us all safe and I will definitely support those businesses. By the way, the chicken sliders were like full size sandwiches and delicious! Staff was safe and respectful! This is an establishment that will continue to get my $$. Thank you for doing such a great job! read more

Food is ordinary, I find the fried dishes to be too greasy. But my friend's kids love their chicken :-) Update: I must say that I created this review in 2012 using the iphone app while in the restaurant but the post went to the "pending mode" and didn't get posted until I logged in today. read more

Fricker's has always been one of my favorite places to eat! Yesterday I 0/6/19 we went to hav the Fricking chicken pizza. I was with my family we ordered it took an hour and 35 minutes to get our food fries were cold some of the chicken was cold and I took half my pizza home all of the pieces of chicken on the top of the pizza, was rib meat no breast mea, which I've never experienced before at Frickers it was very dry little sauce! I was very disappointed and will never attend this Fricker's location again. Hopefully it won't happen at the other locations. read more

I don't know if I should start with the service or the food because they both sucked . The food was horrible. I never had fried chicken or boneless chicken aka (chicken strip pieces) that had no taste. No season at all , not even salt and pepper and on top of that it wasn't even crispy and I asked for everything well done. Now on to the service, honestly I don't think my waiter felt comfortable servicing my table , a black family . I could be wrong though but if I see you going to others tables around me consistently and you only come to mines three times and I've been there for about two hours, its a problem. Also when I told her we never been there and I'm asking questions about the food and your reply is you don't know repeatedly and you cut me off and say you be right back to service another family, it's a problem. I will never come back here again. I see why it has low ratings. read more

We had a group of 8 for dinner last night and it was just awful. Probably took 1.5 hours to get our food. I know we had 8, but an hour and a half for some basic stuff? Oh, and the food is terrible. I will not go back to that frickin' place. read more

Fricker's is definitely a Dayton classic. I'm a fan of the chicken wings, but an even bigger fan of the chicken chunks. The waitresses are definitely easy on the eyes, but even though the restaurant was fairly empty on a Sunday afternoon/evening when I last went, the service was kinda slow. Good place to hang out with friends or to go to watch sports. read more

I don't understand why people would want to go here. The food was way overpriced and servings were extremely small. The taste wasn't bad, but I could've gotten 3 times as much for for the same price somewhere else. read more

Food is ok, but service is always awful. Nice people but slow and inattentive. Waited 15-20 mins for a drink. Don't order spicy wings! You'll be waiting while your mouth burns. read more

Horrible service. Very slow. Chicken wraps were wrong. I order one barbecue with no tomato and the other wing sauce regular and they came opposite. Waited 20 minutes for appetizer and an additional 40 for food. read more

Most of the girls are friendly. Food is decent. Perfect hours and location, bring the family during the day, go out with friends at night. Great deal of the tube beer. We go there quite frequently. read more

Fricker's has some of the best buffalo chicken in Dayton. The wings are great but the Fricken chicken chunks are better. The beer is cold and cheap. A tall Miller Lite (23oz.) will only run you 2 bucks. The atmosphere is definitely sports bar. I preferred the location on 741, but it burnt down. Booohoooo. read more

I love this place the Bacon ranch pizza is amazing! Its all I ever get. The only thing that I dislike about this place is that even for a bar type place it is so loud you basically scream to be heard. Overall really good food. read more
