Went there to meet my daughter. The place looks like it hasn't been attended to very run down looking.

Ricks is always like a vacation for a day! I am so sorry they are closing. We'll miss you. Thank you to the owners for providing our area with years of great mini vacations! You did a great thing for our area!

Always great place to go. Very sorry to hear this is the last summer for the current owners. They are amazing! Also all the bartenders are fantastic and work extremely hard to make sure the large crowd is taken care of.

Food and service was delicious. I had the crab soft pretzel which is a medium size pretzel. My boyfriend did the crab cake sandwich which was a delicious crabby crab cake. The fries were tasty too. I also had an excellent orange crush.

Always a beautiful place and beautiful friendly owners. We love the beautiful sunsets and great music.

Shrimp was good, but southwest egg rolls were burned. Drinks were ok, but service was slow.
Melissa Woodson
Very cute place, rode my bike, felt very welcomed, service was attentive and quick. Only draw back, place has a bee problem, so sweet drinks are no go. I had wings.

A fun lunch find! We enjoyed an unplanned lunch at the beach while on an errand run. This is a casual, locally owned, family friendly place on the Potomac. The crab cake, hand breaded chicken tenders and Old Bay fries were a hit. We will definitely come back again… brunch options look good too!

This is a great place to spend an entire day. We swam during the day, ate a great meal around 4 then enjoy some drinks and dancing to a wonderful local band. Great atmosphere where everyone was super friendly and great to be around.
It was nice to sit by the water, but the food was very poor. Drinks, Margarita was just ok as well. They called it their specialty drink. There was nothing special about it.

Great time, fun music and good food and great atmosphere. Next time we will go a bit later because we had to leave early since it was so hot and humid and couldn't wait to see what happened when the sun went down.

Stopped here with a friend recently. There is no indoor seating which is tough on a hot day. There is a pavilion to sit in with ceiling fans and the outdoor bar is nearby as is the indoor bar which did not seem to have indoor seating. We sat at a table on a sandy area with an umbrella. It was a bit hot to do so. I really did not like the offerings of the menu. I thought there would be a shrimp dinner to order but there was not. I am gluten free and the tacos selections were choices of fish, shrimp or southwest chicken. Unfortunately their tortilla taco shells are made from flour, which is clearly marked. They had fried shrimp but did not have spiced shrimp. Being gluten free, I can make a meal of spiced shrimp and a side of cole slaw or a salad. We had a couple of drinks and chips with crab dip. I could not taste the crab in the dip and also the chips were not crisp. The restaurant just opened at noon, so no reason for the chips to taste as though they were not store properly and picked up moisture. We were going to have lunch here but due to the limited menu we went to Tim’s 2 for lunch Atmosphere would be nice I think in the evenings. Probably a great place to have a few drinks and burgers.

My boyfriend took me here for a night out. I had never been here before and I loved it. The only downfall is they should have more tables for customers that you don't have to be seated by a hostess. All together tho it was a fun experience. They had a live band who was great ($10 cover when they have live music) beach volleyball 2 sets of cornhole boards. It is all outside so there is smoking allowed. Also amazing views over the water especially at sunset. Didn't eat alot but their shrimp was great. Look forward to trying more on their menu. Will absolutely be going there again!!!

Fairview Beach is such a find, this bar is perfect size, located within a golf cart community, beach front with friendly staff. Food was great, had the mini crab cakes, hush puppies and orange crush. Having a bar on the beach accessible from Stafford, Aquia Harbor in 30 minutes is a dream come true. Volley ball court and live music.
