Was craving a breakfast burrito and google search provided.
From all the reviews, I knew this was my place, before heading back to Vermont.
Bacon egg Cheese seasoned home fries wrap sure did not dissapoint. Such Yumminess to start the day. Thank you Rick! You are a gem!

Worth the 25 min bike ride for the kielbasa wrap. Deep menu and proper vibes for the situation.

Stopped by Rick's 11a Café yesterday and grabbed a turkey club it was HUGE and definitely a bang for the buck, Came back today for a steak and cheese with mushrooms and wow... amazing spectacular. Super tasty, cooked just right, and honestly one of the best I've had in a while.

This spot is such a hidden gem. The guy working there is running the whole place by himself, but he's quick with the orders and really friendly. He definitely takes pride on what he does. Definitely coming back again!

Wanted something not fried and carb loaded. Found this gem. Got the avocado toast with eggs over easy, crisp bacon, home fries and asked him to throw spinach on top to be healthy. Absolutely love! The owner is so nice and served it up fast with a smile. Will definitely come back.

This is a must visit if you want great food at a great cost.

It's a wonderful local hidden gem in every respect: the food, the service, and the environment. A serving of fluffy pancakes here has truly made my day.

You have to go to Rick’s! There’s no other place like it. The pancakes were incredibly fluffy. Everything was buttered to perfection. Will be back asap

Rick's Cafe. I call it the hole in the wall diner. It's a small lil place down an alley in south boston. He been there 40 years and nothing has changed except the door to get in. Great guy and foods is fantastic. Go show small business some love and if your In the area go see him. A very good menu and whatever you get will be unbelievable...

Rick is the man. Guy is one of the hardest workers I’ve run into around Boston. Coffee is Downeast which is awesome and he cooks a wide variety of breakfast and lunch items. All made to order. Not sure how he makes it all happen in a tiny spot. Go there if you’re in Southie.

Got the bacon-egg-homefries wrap, it was done just right. Hot sauce and ketchup applied evenly. Perfect for a cold morning
