If you are looking at this give them a try. A+“

“We ate at Rick's on Saturday evening 8/16 and Sunday evening 8/17! Our steaks on Saturday came out perfectly cooked!! Our steaks on Sunday evening came out very well done! Not even edible! The fish specials that we ordered was also very overcooked and dry! The two of us who ordered the fish didn't feel well the rest of Sunday evening 😕 The atmosphere was nice but it was very loud and it seemed like the air conditioner was not working as it was very warm in there. Our server NICOLE was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! She was very attentive and seemed to really enjoy her job!!“

A special Thank You to Tanner our server, he was awesome and did such a wonderful job and made sure everything was spot on for us to have a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. Tanner you were awesome and your personality and how you deal with your customers was great, please keep that up. My heart went out to you and I felt bad after the table next to us ran you and spent $200 if not more and left you such a crap tip, that was so wrong. But don't let people like that discourage you, keep doing you, because you were great!!!“

Portions were generous. The steak was larger than expected and cooked just as ordered. The coffee was great. Danielle was our server and she was cheerful and answered our questions about the menu. The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is comfortable. Would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something more than a typical breakfast chain.“

We loved it and highly recommend but to the owner do better, fix your AC to take care of your staff!!“
