Rick's Barbecue

Wonderful bbq place !Very tasty generous portions.Good home like cooking.Sweet loving service!

Once a local chain with a few stores, they appear to be down to one. Years ago I tried the food and it was good, but there was better closer to my home. Again, back in the day, I attended a conference where one of the participants was a relative of the owners, so she convinced us to go here. Both of these were in the days before I started reviewing. It was a good experience and I will be stopping by more often.The pork sandwich had moist meat and was served with traditional slaw and pickle. It was dry, and you added your own sauce, hot or mild, at the table. It was a very good sandwich. The combo with a side and a drink made for a nice lunch.There are many BBQ "joints" and they range in ambiance and service. There are less appealing dining rooms with great BBQ all the way to fancy eateries with high prices and poor BBQ. This fell into a nice middle niche. On entering, there was a line from the counter to the door, about 6 people, but it moved fast. Knowing what you wanted to order was a plus as it got you through the line and the person taking the order was up to increased tempo.Dining in means they bring the food to you, which is nice service. All the tables were real tables, not cheap rocky things, there was room to sit down and everything was clean.

Came here the other day for lunch. Was fairly busy but still plenty of places to sit. My husband got the pork sandwich combo and I got the 2 slaw dog combo and both were good and the fried pickles we ordered were very good. Everything had good flavor and good portions and came out fairly quickly. Staff was friendly and helpful. Tables were a bit dirty but if you asked them to they would wipe it down for you.Plenty of parking plus they have a drive thru so thats a plus.

Pretty darn good barbecue, the highlight of my entire meal was the pulled pork with white sauce and the mayo coleslaw both were outstandingly great. The mac & cheese was not the best ever but it was still really good. The regular ribs were a bit fatty for me but they were tasty. Absolutely Will return. Recommend the pulled pork with the white sauce. #Amazing

I literally drove a friend to the Kia dealership in Murfreesboro to pick up a little rubber piece. In this day and age, anytime you can accomplish something (no matter how small) you need to reward yourself. So I typed in "food near me" into the Google search on my phone and Rick's was 30 seconds away... and I was hungry (or so I thought). We headed in and it was clear that we might have hit pay dirt when there were several cars going through the drive through and the lot was pretty full. My friend ordered a pulled pork sandwich and I got a 2 meat plate.... It was like 29.00 for two meals with drinks and honestly, that seemed like a fair price for two for lunch. The first thing that hit me was the fruit tea. AMAZING! I was thinking about Mountain Dew or Lemonade, but something steered me towards the fruit tea. I would give a good review for just that fruit tea. No joke. Then they delivered our lunch. To say generous portions would be failing to communicate what showed up. I was able to eat 2/3 of the ribs and a small taste of the pulled pork, half of the potato salad and half of the macaroni and cheese. I had another meal to take home from what was left... and trust me, I didn't want to stop eating, I HAD to stop because I wouldn't have been able to drive home if I had finished the plate. The quality of food was excellent, I am already planning another trip down in a week or two.... But the compliments need to be extended to the team because they are friendly, courteous, professional and helpful.. and the ambiance of the little place is great. Their funny signs in the dining room and restrooms are enjoyable and snarky without being obnoxious or crass. I am not a BBQ guy, but I am thinking that Rick's might be making me rethink my stance on the genre. Wonderful meal! Thank you!

Was in the area for work and got a pulled pork sandwich w/ fries. The meat didnt have any flavor and the buns arent toasted so it's just a mushy mess. Overall just wasnt a great lunch since the only good food were the fries

There are way too many kids working in the back and the front. I ordered a pork sandwich and potato skins and waited 45 minutes whileWatching people that waited half that time for more food. I was so mad I didn't check the bag and they left out a sandwich and cheese dip I ordered. Either hire more adults or close down because everyone that was in line complained and said they weren't coming back. All the kids were rude.

The food is good. The place is clean. I don't like them putting up the chairs at 6p when they close at 7p- correct 7p, not 8pThat makes the customer feel like they need to leave and anyone coming in, thinks they are closing early. To me- that is poor customer service.

The quality has slackened. More than once the loaded baked potato was undercooked, couldn't stick a fork into it. Their sides are bland. I would not complain if it happened maybe once but this has been my experience three in a row! Sorry but I'm disappointed and done.

Awful service. Rude staff. Can't get orders right and treat customers with no respect. Avoid this place.
