Rick's Smokehouse & Grill

If you love BBQ, you have to try Rick's Smokehouse BBQ. I go to Rick's when I want to get my fill of delicious protein, fats, and vegetables. I had the Pulled Pork and Baked Beans bowl with a side of green beans and cole slaw. I added chicken wings for additional protein to finish out an awesome meal. There are so many other items in the menu you have to try, like the brisket, pork chop, ribs, chicken, cheesy hash brown casserole, etcetera. I have had it all. You will not be disappointed. And, to top it all off... Rick's will cater to your event. Give them a call. You will not be disappointed.

Not overly impressed with the food, service or atmosphere. All 3 of us got 1/2 rack of ribs with 2 sides, and 1 meal was delivered to the table 10 minutes before the other 2. They also charged .50 for water. The dining area was dingy and the women's bathroom was 3 feet from the dining area. The meat is cooked on gas cookers instead of wood-fired. If I lived in this area, I wouldn't be a repeat customer.

The staff was very friendly and attentive. I got the 3 meat platter with pulled pork, ribs, and brisket, sith potato salad and hashbrown casserole as my sides. The pork was slightly better than expected, the ribs were average and the potato salad was good. My only complaints are that the hashbrown casserole was just missing something, it was almost bland, it's the only thing I didn't finish. Then the brisket was mostly good, with decent flavor however, the bark was way too salty. Both people with me got the brisket as well and neither of them finished it due to the overwhelming saltiness. I would probably return if in the area again.

The over abundance of staff was less than friendly and spent more time talking than answering the questions we had. The catfish my husband has wasn’t done. It made everything else less the appealing. The cleanliness was disappointing. I really wanted to like this but, it’s not something I would go back for!

Door dash order-no silverware and no napkins. Had to go find some in the hotel. Who doesn't send napkins and a fork? The brisket, see pic, looks and tastes like pot roast. The rip tips have a little better flavor. The baked beans are good. The slaw doesn't taste like anything. Was hopeful but...no.

We most definitely will not be going back to this establishment. The table was dirty, the sauce containers were dirty and crusted with bbq sauce. The price was ridiculous for what you got. Just for 2 of us, it was $75. I got the the 3 meat sampler and my wife got the 2 meat sampler. I picked ribs, pulled pork and what I judge any bbq place on....the brisket. My wife got brisket and tips. We both got Mac and cheese and I got the coleslaw and she got a salad. And 4 pecan Carmel cookies. The damn cookies were the best part of the dinner. The coleslaw was ok. The meat had ZERO flavor unless you dumped a ton of sauce on it. Side note, I did like the sauces. There was no salt and pepper on any of the tables and the Mac and cheese definitely could have used some. There was no smoke ring on any of the meat. One of my ribs looked like it came from a different animal. There was more fat on the brisket then meat and the tips were dry and chewy as hell. All for just $75. You can keep it. The staff was very friendly, and I did like the old signs on the walls. But that's is where I leave Rick's Smokeless BBQ.

Service was great. This was our first time there. We all agreed food was just okay. Staff and decor were good. Also a good place to just hang and talk after the meal. I had the smoked salmon though which was really good but everything else was just okay. Kid friendly. Kids said macaroni and cheese was really good.
