Rick's Grille

Okay the service isn't great, but the food is always consistently good. This is the perfect food court for lunch, be it your work lunch or if you're on a trip looking for a more an expensive option for food. Check them out.

Get the surf 'n turf!I treated myself to it last week (OMG - at least 25,000 calories) and it's just as good as always. Rick's is one of the few restaurants left in Place St Charles. Given high vacancies in professional offices throughout the CBD, only the highest quality counters have survived. Rick's has deservedly survived.

I had the surf and turf with sweet potato fries, it was sooo good! And the portion size was enough for me to have it for lunch then dinner after work. The cook is so friendly and funny, him alone makes this place worth visiting!

Good stuff here. The griddle chef was super friendly and knew his grill! Prices were fair. I had my sandwich on a bed of lettuce to accommodate my low carb diet and it was a generous portion. Heads up, while looking for this place it's in a good court in the second story. Don't let your gpa take you for a walk like mine did!

I love Rick's Grille! My favorite Philly cheesesteak in NOLA. Prices are reasonable and service is always efficient and great. There are plenty of variations of cheesesteaks on the menu, but I always opt for the Rick's Special, minus the mushrooms. It is perfect. The bread makes this sandwich, in my opinion. It is the perfect texture and always fresh; and they toast it on the flat top grill. The surf and turf is also a nice choice for seafood lovers, with grilled shrimp.The place is tucked away in the food court in the Place St. Charles/Capital One building in the heart of the CBD. There is lots of seating in the food court, including outdoor balcony seating. They ask your order while you are standing in line, and by the time you pay, get your condiments and drink, it's basically cooked and ready. So fresh and efficient. I highly recommend!

Rick's Grille was my first stop for food in New Orleans and I absolutely had to go back before leaving. My experience was outstanding. The service was top notch, they were very welcoming and friendly and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! I ordered the Philly Mushroom Melt on both visits and it was made right in front of me and seasoned perfectly. I will definitely return on my next trip. Best Philly I've ever had!

Who would ever think to walk inside an office building to the back left corner of the second floor to eat at Rick's Grill when in a city like New Orleans? Thankfully some other yelpers did and steared me this way! Be prepared to yell out your order even when you're six or seven people back in the line. The surf and turf is a Philly cheese steak that also includes some Cajun grilled shrimp. with cheese a little bit of mayo on a warm and slightly toasted miniature loaf of bread. the sandwich is garnished with a sprinkling of lettuce and tomatoes so you don't feel so guilty, but with the amount of steak you hardly notice it, which for me is just perfect. I was torn between the fries and onion rings but no one seems to order of the onion rings, so I tried the fries. They were perfectly cooked, despite being rather basic fries, slightly crispy on the outside warm and soft on the inside. I'm sitting here pretty stuff in this office food court, all for about 12 bucks. My only recommendation would be to spice up the fries a little.

Be forewarned, you better know what you want to order about 5 people back in line. Rick will yell to you asking what you want to eat. To me it is part of the charm of this place and what makes it work. During busy times, Rick will be making 7 or 8 sandwiches at a time and it is fun to watch him hustle. The sandwiches that are made here are full of flavor and are very reasonably priced. My Cuban sandwich was 8 bucks. Several others ordered the surf and turf (shrimp and beef) sandwich which was 9 bucks. The fries were meh as they come from a bag but they are hot/crispy. Don't be turned off that this is in a bank building food court. The food is first rate and delicious. You will not be disappointed and you will not leave hungry. Just be sure to know what you want before Rick asks!

We came sliding in right before 2pm and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful! It is in a food court upstairs in an office building. I've been to NO many times and never knew about this place...I ordered the famous "surf and turf" and my husband ordered the Ricks special...they did NOT disappoint! The steak had great flavor and grilled to perfection mixed with bell peppers and onion and mushrooms. Definitely come by here! They close at 2pm though!

located in the Capital building on Gravier and Common streets .Excellent ! Everything is always fresh !
