My husband got the motherclucker sandwich (chips on the side), I got the Utter melt (also chips on the side), my dad got an omelette and my mom a chicken dish (i can't remember which) that came with a biscuit, potato wedges, and cottage cheese. The food was delicious and my parents were eyeing the giant cinnamon roll in the case while mentioning we may stop back tomorrow.

Stopped in to get a carryout sandwich. Excellent friendly and efficient service…read more A bug menu with everything you can think of...salads sandwiches pasta steaks. The dessert menu looked incredible and they have bakery selections including the largest cinnamon roll I've ever seen in my life. I didn't partake, but would recommend going to check it out! Went with the Dipper Heifer which was HUGE. Rarely do I have leftovers, yet today I did. Excellent bread, meat, dipping sauce, and potatoes (upgrade from chips) The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is the meat was not incredibly flavorful. Perfectly cooked and tasted good...just overall somewhat bland. More cheese would help, too. Will definitely check this place out again!

Our server, Jamie, was pleasant and kind. It smelled amazing when we walked in so we ordered breakfast.

Husband opted for the platter and it was a lot of food! Same as combo + biscuits & gravy, 2 pancakes. We took 3 pieces of Dutch Apple Pie and my family raved - fresh, flavorful apples filling. Absolute treat! Cannot wait to go back and order the fresh juice and a smoothie bowl! Wonderful addition to Manistee!

Frozen pizza is better, which is saying something because I hate frozen pizza. I'm not one to complain. I always tell a server the food is good, even if it's not. But when the bartender asked me for the third time how my pizza was, I couldn't help myself. I told him it was the worst I've ever had (with a smile). He ignored me the rest of the night. :) We watched 4 other customers, all around us, order pizza after they heard us tell the guy it wasn't good -- that I'd tried to like it for YEARS. I donno, man. At this point, it's not because "they're new" or "they're figuring it out" or "maybe we caught them on a bad night". It's undeniable: the pizza at Fricano's is horrible and apparently they don't even know it. Now, the atmosphere? Still great. Waitstaff...adequate. But seriously..is it just me??? (I know it's not. We all know what pizza should taste like, right?) Oof.

Then a wonderful Mexican type salad with ample: sautéed onions and peppers, corn, black olives, cheddar cheese and a spicy chipotle ranch dressing. I added grilled chicken breast and it was very tasty and filling. My sister enjoyed a Nashville Hot chicken sandwich and she said it was also fantastic. An ample size chicken breast breaded and sauced well, lettuce, tomato plus a firm but soft bun that held up nicely. She had tots as a side which made for a great meal. Our server was very pleasant, personable and attentive at just the right times. The ambience was a rich wood decor: floor, walls, booths, tables and chairs. But a warm atmosphere with black accents, comfortable seating. There were stairs to enter with railings but I might have missed a more mobility accessible entrance. I recommend calling if this is a detail you need. They're great for groups as the place was packed on Mother's Day when we first attempted to eat there. So glad we went back and I'm sure this will be a sure spot to eat when we're in town again.
