The upgrade is gorgeous
It’s been a few years since I’ve been here but the last time it was a dive. Fun live music. Good drinks. And pet friendly!!

Food was excellent. The standouts were the best fries and clam chowder we’d ever had. The service is fast and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. They are dog friendly and even have a menu just for dogs. Our Maltipoos shared the “Marley and Meat” and loved their meals. We all agreed that Rick’s was our favorite meal of this vacation, and we will be back next time in Avila Beach.

Came out of town with friends and decided to stop here for dinner before heading home. Show up at 630 and its closing at 7 on a Saturday... so we place our order for 3 tri tips 2 mixed drinks and a soda with an order of onion rings. Came out to 100 dollars. Food came. Extremely dry no bbq sauce or anything. Order of onion rings cake with 3 small burnt onion rings. Went up to counter.to order another side of fries blonde lady was extremely rude. Very bad service and bland food for 100 dollars... Should be ashamed of the food and service that was provided..

THE RIBS, the main reason I want to write this review is just say how absolutely magnificent the ribs are, not only are they perfectly cooked and seasoned, but there so much meat on the bone perfect rib! The clam chowder is really good too if you like a perfect rich flavor. Also the atmosphere is amazing and people are too, I highly recommend come here!

Excellent clam chowder. Very creamy with lots of fresh clams.

The food at Mr Rick's is great!! We live locally and hadn't tried it, so we gave it a try yesterday. We tried the OCH burger and the French dip. Both meals were Awesome!! The burger was huge and juicy. My wife had the dip and absolutely loved it.
The food was so good that we came back today, new years eve, to have lunch. We split the Fish tacos and fries, which was enough for the two of us!! They were also Awesome!!
Mr Rick's is now our favorite fun spot to go to. Great atmosphere, and the staff are super friendly! See y'all soon!!

You have to work hard at having a bad time at Mr. Rick's or you're just miserable to begin with. I was mourning the loss of my Uncle 2 days ago and Mr. Rick's helped the day to be just a little brighter.

On the beach at the Avila pier (closed) so atmosphere/location is the draw here
Food was average but the prices were reflective, so pretty affordable for a central coast restaurant on the water. I had the lobster roll sandwich. Not gamey. Didn't taste like it was caught yesterday but pretty good. Old Bay seasoned fries were cooked perfectly. Wife had ceviche and a salad. Both were ok. You'll spend 50 to 100 bucks in for two without alcohol. Given the spot that's reasonable in late 2024. Stop by if you're hungry and want to hear the seagulls and waves crashing against the pier.

Beach front location. Order at the counter, take a number and then find a seat either inside or out. We sat outside on a beautiful day and listened to the waves as we ate lunch. Clam chowder was good, but just a bit gritty. Bloody Mary was OK, not great. Eh…

I've been here 6 times. Half the time they got the order wrong and one time the bartender was flat out rude to patrons. I haven't seen him so maybe they fired him. Anyhow, food is good, portions are good, location, among other positive things. It's a 4 star but I'm offsetting their 4.3 star rating.

We had an amazing time at Mr Rick’s. Sam and DJ are great staff. They were attentive, engaging, and passionate creating a fun and enjoyable time. Come have a great time at Rick’s! BTW, try the clam chowder bread bowl. Best in town!
