The restaurant is cute in general. They have upstairs available for private booking and an outside area with live music. My party and I, arrived there but there was no indoor seating available so we decided to seat outside but there was a 10$ cover charge for each, i am assuming because of the live music which is totally understandable. The band was amazing, i loved their performance, however the service on our table was bad. Everything took so long, and the waitress was nowhere to be found and kind of rude. We ordered drinks and appetizers we got them but no water and no silverware. We had to bother another waitress for those cause ours disappeared for 30 mins but by that time we had to eat with our hands. We asked for another round of drinks and we receive them one whole hour later. We got main courses, the salmon was dreadful and my brother ordered fried pork ribs or something and it was raw. We didn’t want to send it back cause it would have taken so long to prepare another one. Also we asked for a beer and the waitress said it’s gonna take a while… for a beer…..??? Like why? and she recommended we should go inside the bar if we want it fast. Just ridiculous. Definitely not coming back.

My husband and I recently had dinner at Ricks, this was our first time eating here. We were there on a Friday around 6:15pm so it wasn’t very busy at all. Our server was Heath and he was very knowledgeable about the menu and funny! My husband has a seafood allergy and we told Heath and they were able to accommodate him. We both had the cocktails, the Bluebonnet and Long Island Iced Tea. Both drinks were good but I think we preferred the LIT. We had the Grilled Texas Bites for an appetizer and I truly enjoyed them! My husband had a rib eye, purple hulled peas and fried okra. He was a little disappointed in his medium rare steak. He said that it lacked seasoning. Initially he didn’t ask for an add-on sauce for the steak but after tasting it he asked for the creamy peppercorn. I had chicken fried chicken, sauteed squash and steak fries. I thoroughly enjoyed my entire meal. The squash was well seasoned! There was so much food that we both had to get to go containers. Overall I would recommend Ricks for those wanting to try a steak and seafood restaurant without the hustle and bustle that come with other restaurants. Just FYI, we arrived before the live entertainment that was scheduled at 8pm so I am not certain how the ambience was at that point.

This was a great choice for our Friday night date. Before we got there we did not know about the live music but apparently this is the place to be for great live music. The band was awesome with 80s music and played all the hit songs…. one after another.

Was very pricey. Food was okay. Our server Calista was sweet. The Deviled Eggs we’re very good. I ordered a Taco Salad with NO avocado or tomato. I got plenty of both on my salad. My daughter got the Hawaiian Burger. Was good. My Husband got the Texas Burger. It was very spicy but good. The fries were good. The Onion Rings were okay. They had NO Sweet Tea. The can of Sprite was very flat. The Coke in my Husband Jack & Coke was very flat. The Lemonade was good. The Banana Pudding and Key Lime Pie was good

I have mixed feelings about this place. Hostess and waitress were both on their cell phones constantly. Hostess actually made us wait until she finished her tiktok video or whatever she was doing. The waitress was nice. Started off good, but went slowly downhill from there. The chicken fried chicken is crispy, but extremely greasy in a bad way, not a fried way. Cream gravy was good. All their peas etc taste straight from a can, no flavor. Potatoes were bland. Salad and dressing are very good. They charge extra for using a card to pay. Your prices are already up there, just add the charge into the food. I hate the sneak attack at the end.

I ate there Fri for the first time for lunch. My catfish was good and fresh, but my sides weren’t. The hushpuppies were so hard, seemed as if they were dropped several more times after they were first cooked. I didn’t get lunch special, due to server taking a long time to take our order. We had to remind her several times to bring items we asked for, and she wasn’t coming back to check for refills. I ordered the banana pudding to go, and had to throw it away . I may give it one more try, because I’ve heard good things but my experience wasn’t so good at all.

Great ambiance. Loved the historical wood construction with the exposed brick walls and the post modern painting. Loved watching the game projected on the big screen. They told us about a 30 minute wait on a Saturday night at 7p but we were seated within 15 minutes. The food was amazing. I had tacos and they were a perfect blend of flavor and size, not too small but also not too big. Slight preference for the pork taco. Others at the table got the red fish taco and shared that was their favorite. We finished the night with a bread pudding which had a good balance of sugar sweet. Another review had hinted a bit of a flan type texture which was a good description. Service was great. Will be back again!
