There is something cool about being in a historic downtown and sitting in a restaurant that is 95 years old! Their menu is giant! Highly recommend!“

“Wife and I stopped in late today,Monday,ordered western omelets. As soon as our food was plated up it was on its way to us. With other restaurants in the area when we get hash browns you can see the plate through the potatoes. In the years we've been coming here we have always had excellent service and excellent food. Thank you“

“We were in town for a funeral today and we wanted to eat before our 2 1/2 hour drive home. We decided on Fricker’s after checking out the menu. They were not expecting a group of 13 on a random Monday afternoon, but they went above and beyond for our family, and our server was on her own and did a phenomenal job! The food was SO good! They packet the salad & wraps with so much meat, the Brew Fries with nacho sauce ? and the boneless wings were not only prepared perfectly, but the sauces were so tasty! Thank you Fricker’s for making our sad day so much better for our family.“

“The staff is always attentive and joyful. Food or ice cream is always delicious and bountiful. With all the choices available, it's hard not to grab something for yourself when making a pit stop! The environment is always welcoming and clean. Sometimes the machines go down, but I can understand that with how busy they can get on a regular basis! And they are always on a quick turn around to get things fixed so it's never a long let down when a machine is down.
With 2 locations in Defiance, and a mobile truck for venues or events, Eric's Ice Cream is a town favorite.“

“Was in Defiance last weekend with friends. We were looking for a place to have lunch and I had seen on the Valentine Theater site that Ensign’s was where Maag’s used to be and they had a lot of the same menu. Went there years ago, before 1980, and was pleasantly surprised with the lunch. Had the roast beef, knockers, chips & draft beer. Everything was great and the prices are very reasonable. We all had a good time and my friends were happy that I suggested going here. Keep up the good work!“
