We visited Rick's on Saturday, and it was a great dining experience! Our meal started with the gumbo which was perfect for my husband since it didn't have shrimp or any shellfish in it because he's allergic. For our main entrees, my husband ordered the catfish, while I opted for the beef short ribs with a loaded baked potato. Both dishes were absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Finally for dessert, my husband ordered and took home a 4 tired carrot cake with cream cheese icing and it was also delicious. Where we sat, although freezing outside the sun reflecting off the water was the perfect backdrop for the ambiance. The service was outstanding, with our waiter going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We had a table of 10 and we felt truly welcomed and well taken care of.If you're looking for great food and great service, Rick's is definitely the place to go. We'll be back for sure!

It had been a minute since eating at Rick's but thought of it for a double date night. Wow! Very festive for the holidays. The entry is very nice (new?). As soon as I walked in the aroma had me hooked! It smelled so good I was immediately comforted and famished. I had booked a reservation (recommend) and we were quickly seated in an extra large horseshoe booth. Service was quick and on point. Bourbon Crush for me, wine, and other cocktails were served along with calamari app. All were delicious. Dinner was a tough decision, so many good options. I started with a curry soup (I think that's what I was smelling), table mates opted for clam chowder or salads. All very good.Two of us opted for crab stuffed orange roughy, one shrimp and grits, and one scallop shrimp pesto pasta. We were all impressed and satisfied. Flavorful and nice sized portions, it was all great.Def recommend!

Big place, and we were able to walk in and get seated immediately on thanksgiving day. Plus we ordered and it was out so quick, was very helpful as we had a plane to catch. service was fantastic and friendly. The view is great. The food was not bad. The bread and butter to start was good. Ordered the shrimp scallop linguini and was good just needed quite a bit of salt and pepper which was on the table. Good portion. Kids had pizza and fries. Both good. The bacon wrapped scallops were overcooked but still not bad.

This place is so cute inside after the new remodel. We had Erin as a server and she's great, she was able to handle our party of seven quickly, can't say enough good about her. I ordered the Fettuccine and asked for blackened chicken, it was delicious and I have enough left for another meal. Everyone else liked their food, the Beet salad and Crab stuffed mushrooms were a big hit!

What an Incredible night!!! I enjoyed my food, Orange Roughy stuffed with crab, mashed potatoes, and of course an adult beverage (2). I came to see the Christmas singers, and they did not disappoint!! My server Travis was OUTSTANDING!!! I really hope he is there the next time I come in. I highly recommend him. This was the 1st time I visited for such a festive night, and between the amazing decorations and the lively crowd....I give an A+++++++ Parking was pretty full, but I found a good spot, and I was impressed that there was security in the lot upon leaving, since it was late. To say I had a fun night is an understatement.....BRAVO RICK'S CAFE & BOATYARD

We wanted to get a bite to eat but something we had not eaten in a while. Our focus shifted to Rick's Boatyard's restaurant. Just on the west side of town not far from I 465 for easy access. I decided on an item I hadn't seen since we last ate at the restaurant. I ordered sticky ribs which was crispy tossed in honey sriracha glaze, fries, and a sesame ginger slaw topped with green onions and sesame seeds fries, and coleslaw. The sauce in my opinion made the meal. The ribs were absolutely delicious. There was also a secret weapon I heard about and wanted try. To my surprise collard greens were well seasoned and tasty. Overall a super mid week meal that was worth the travel. I am not sure if the sticky ribs are seasonal or not but give it a try along with the collard greens. Great job Rick's Boatyard!

I never have a bad experience here. The staff is friendly. They have updated their bar as of last year and the patio is such a vibe in the summer. The new bar area looks modern and clean. I had the shrimp and bacon jam pizza that was absolutely amazing. It was savory and a little sweet from the jam. My bartender Erin was so nice snd always so welcoming. The bathrooms are super clean. If you want to have valet, the option is there. There are tvs in multiple places so you can always catch sports. My fave foods: short rib risotto, Caesar salad, clam chowder, greens, baked goat cheese, catfish, crab cakes. There's so many regulars here so don't be surprised if you see the same faces :)

Their food is sort of "hit or miss". I had salmon roulades with mashed potatoes, delicious. I also had the calamari, perfection!!!My girl friend ordered crab hushpuppies, they were dry. She also ordered gumbo and she was very disappointed. She said it was too spicy, and the serving size was smaller than she had had in the past. The environment is always a selling point, being on the water is lovely. Our wait staff was okay, she didn't bring spoons for tea or coffee. Maybe she was over extended. She was pleasant and professional. We will probably give Rick's a break for now.

Ambience was excellent! Overlooked a beautiful reservoir shrouded in morning fog. Light background music filled the place enhancing our experience! Seating is very nice. Staff were well trained and able to connect with us quickly. Our server Tate offered tantalizing descriptions of some of the fair! We began with six monster Shrimp, butterflied and battered tempura style and served with a tangy green ginger sauce as well as an Ancho sauce that were both blended to perfection! Next we had a sirloin salad in sweet Italian vinaigrette with walnuts and chopped green apple mixed into arugula lettuce! Ooh la la! Couldn't resist the Carrot cake which both of us could barely get half of it down. Comimos como cerdos!
