The food was amazing!! And our server Betsy was very courteous, friendly and fast to accommodate our needs while tending to the other customers. It's hard to find service that good anymore.

One of the worst breakfast experiences I’ve had. First off, it took at least 15 mins before anyone came to take our drinks. My partner and I both got the overstuffed omelettes. I got the veggie omelette. All the food came out cold and took forever. The omelette was big, but looked like the only cheese was a Kraft singles slice ripped in half and thrown on top. Wasn’t even melted. Took my first bite and it was awful. It was as if the egg was wrapped around a microwaved frozen bags worth of veggies, including all the liquid that results from steaming. Disgusting amount of veggies and they definitely were not cooked into the egg portion of the omelette. I’ve never seen anyone, even a child, make such a horrendous excuse of an omelette. Everything else absolutely sucked and service continued to be slow and inattentive. Maybe this was a one off experience, but we will never be returning to find out.

Food is yummy. Service is fast and friendly. The place could use some updates and some of the clientele was loud and obnoxious. Will still be going there for great breakfasts though.

Roaches and lipstick and avocado OH MY! Let me start by saying we've been a long time patron of this establishment all the way back to when the original owner first opened it. There used to be literal queues out the door to get in... FOR BREAKFAST. It passed on to another family when Rick decided to retire and they kept standards up as well. When they sold it however, it went down hill... for a LONG time we avoided it. During Covid we decided to go back and it had gotten better... a lot better. Wait staff was always good and the locale was nice. It got to a point we went literally ever weekend with my parents for breakfast. Fast forward to ~week ago. We got there, and our normal server was off, no biggie. We sat down and while we were ordering a cockroach came scuttling out from behind the trim work and walked up the wall. Our waitress, while we were ordering mind you goes and grabs a tissue and grabs it then proceeds to walk toward the kitchen area to throw it away. Strike, one. We ordered our standard faire, I opted for avocado on my sandwich since they boasted a "Dr's Omelette" that day that included it. While waiting we chatted, food came in spirts. While talking with my dad, he went to pick up his coffee cup to take a sip... that's when we saw it. Bright red lipstick on the rim. I stopped him before he could take a drink. By that time our food had come and the waitress hadn't been back in about 15 minutes. He said he didn't want a replacement. I bit into my sandwich... The avocado had the consistency of a baseball. Obviously not ripe at all. And that's where it ended for me. When the waitress finally came back to bring the check we told her about the coffee cup. No apology, she just took it back to the kitchen and removed it from the tab. Unfortunately I won't be going back here again anytime soon. It's sad really, we're very fond of one of the other waitresses there that we normally get and the service is USUALLY really good. BUT these 3 strikes, for me at least nope... I know most every restaurant in existence has roaches whether you see them or not but, it's not something that exudes confidence if there's one running around the dining room and the waitress isn't mortified.

My boyfriend and I went for breakfast and I requested white toast as it is safest for me with a peanut/tree nut allergy. The waitress brought me rye toast which would have been fine if it was peanut free, so I asked her to double check. She told me “its bread it doesn’t have nuts”, to which I tried to explain I had to avoid anything that is made in the same facility as I will go into anaphylactic shock. I requested a new plate to be safe, to which she replied “it won’t bite” and walked away with an attitude. Terrible service and the food wasn’t that great either.

Went to Rick's on 5 and had a fabulous late breakfast! The food portions were great and the omelet was excellent! The service was fantastic too, very attentive and on top of things. Great prices as well, a nice, hidden gem ! Give it a try!!!!
