FRICKER'S -- RICHMOND, IN

FRICKEN' COLD

We were on our way to Maryland and stopped for dinner in Richmond, IN. We were looking for somewhere different as we usually stop at Cracker Barrel or Perkins on our trips East. We saw this big red building and couldn't quite make out the name but decided to give it a try. When we entered, we saw it was a sports bar atmosphere which was okay as long as the food was good.

It wasn't very busy, even though it was right around the dinner rush at 6:30 and we had to wait a few minutes before we were told to have a seat anywhere. I wished there would have been a sign to this effect. It took even longer to get waited on. Gary is usually the impatient one, but it was me on this visit.

We took a look at the menu and found the "BEST DEAL" in town. A 16oz. Porterhouse Steak for $14.95 which both of us ordered. It was pretty cold outside and we both decided to order soup, along with our meal. Gary got the Chicken Noodle Soup (he said the chicken was a little tough) and I got a cup of Chili. The chili was very good, real chunky and a little spicy. It helped to warm us up a little which we really needed because it was fricken' cold inside the place. The definition of cold being between an igloo and a meat cooler ... it was COLD. We even mentioned it to the waitress to no avail.

We would have like to had our steak accompanied by a baked potato, but this choice was not available on the menu, so we choose steak fries which were fine. The menu said the steak was a one pounder, but it looked even bigger on the plate. The flavor was good, no need for A1. Our drinks were running low and it was nice that the wait staff covers for each other and when another waitress saw our drinks were about gone, brought us refills.

The clientele was of mixed ages and there were even a few school aged kids. There were plenty of TV to watch your favorite game or sports show. The only complaint, other than being cold was the rolls were room temperature and the butter was cold, so it was hard to spread.

Overall ... thumbs up!
