My friend treated me to breakfast, our 1st time at this location and I ordered the French Toast w/ strawberries and whipped cream. The demeanor of our server was a little “rough around the edges” but that was okay, we realize everyone has an off day or may not be as pleasant as others, if the food was good, all was okay.
However, when serving us, she “tossed” the plates on the table, literally, my friends egg’s benny dish bounced upon landing! We were somewhat shocked but chuckled a little from surprise.

After tossing my breakfast (French Toast w/strawberries & whip cream) in front of me she commented on the excessive sugar content, which was a little strange and unfortunately, upon trying my breakfast, it was a cold and soppy mess because the strawberries and syrup (which was extremely watery) were cold and placed directly on the toast rather than on the side, unlike other locations of the same restaurant. I informed the server and she matter-of-factly confirmed my suspicions to which I answered yes, I agree, and I would like this warmed up to which she said, again matter-of-factly stated “well the whip cream will melt “ to which I promptly replied, “then put it on the side” as I was somewhat taken aback by her rudeness and surprised that she thought I should eat this cold soppy mess! She reluctantly took my plate and again matter-of-factly informed me next time I should ask for the toppings on the side to which I replied had I known they would be cold & watery I would have!

Following this somewhat insulting confrontation, which had put a damper on our happy little get together, I decided to not have the meal and told my friend I would pay for my breakfast and would be reporting this to the manager, it was ridiculous how it was handled so rudely. However, she returned with the berries/cream on the side and said they were making a new one, so I did accept the breakfast. This time it was warm but dry with no butter and I dare not ask her for any for fear of upsetting her again! I removed a few cold strawberries from the watery syrup to put on my toast. We promptly ate our breakfasts, I left a lot of mine and my friend apologized for taking me there, but it was not her fault, and we will not return to this location.

Despite the service and my disappointing breakfast, my friend left the server a generous gratuity.

I have had this dish at other Ricky’s, and the topping comes on the side or on top but either way, the strawberry topping was always warmed, not watery and never straight out of the refrigerator. To serve it this way must have been a mistake by this server who, in my opinion, seemed like she may have been a long-term employee and should have known better.

Our server was lovely, friendly and had a 'can do' attitude. Beer was cold and meals for all four of us were good. Recommended.

Definitely one of my happy places! I used to live in Coquitlam but for a long time I've lived a ways away in Vancouver and still continue to come here. The main reason is the server, Anna. She nicely controls the work environment, is so pleasant to be around, and tries hard to ensure that everything is as it should be. Thank you! The other staff members and menu options are great.

Service needs an improvement.
Get customers to their tables quicker, be more attentive, and refill waters!

Great place if you’re looking for breakfast in the Coquitlam area. Staff are friendly and the service was great. Highly recommend.

Ordered through door dash. Food was good but expensive for one person even with the discount.

Miranda was our server again today and we were more than impressed. She’s a very sweet and caring server that goes above and beyond and treats her customers the same way. We only come on Tuesday’s now which is when Miranda works and she needs to be acknowledged and recognized for her level of service. Thank you for another wonderful experience Miranda!
