Love this place they have great food! Â I think I have had just about everything on their menu. Â It is always hot and delicious! Â Service can be a tad slow here but it is worth the wait! Â Nothing is worse then getting cold food! Â A must when you come to Fat Ricky's is the blue cheese fries! Â Soooooooooo good but soooo bad!
Review Source:Ordered from their catering menu for a work function. Â It turned out to be an incredible value. Â Chopped Chicken Salad was wonderful, tons of chicken and their house dressing was great. Â Papa Rich's Casserole is a favorite of mine, and my guests agreed. Â Finally, the Italian Beef was full of flavor. Â The delivery woman was quite helpful and offered to help set up. Â The Sterno rack, sternos and plates etc.. were included in the price. Â I would recommend their catering to anyone.
Review Source:Ok time to bring this place down a peg especially since I see these good reviews and I do know why, people are nuts! Â The deep dish pizza is indeed the most appalling thing on the menu. Â We ordered it when they first, first opened and it was really good. Â Then the stupid owner decided he wanted to save money on cheese and instead told everyone to pour tons of sauce on it, yuck! Â A deep dish is supposed to have a light spead or moderate spread of chunky tomato sauce, not a heeping mess of slop! Â
The thin crust pizza is edible and that is it. Â The beef sandwiches is horrible! Â Dry, long in length instead of width, unseasoned crap! Â
The mushrooms are not bad.
I am trashing on this place due to Pizza and beef, but pizza is their supposed specialty! Â Ugh, crap! Â Maybe if they dipped their beefs in as much juice as they dip their nasty deep dishes in sauce, maybe the beef would be OK. Â Do not order the deep dish or else you will drown in all the extra sauce. Â Do not get the beef or you will need to wash every bite down with water, and the piece of crap is tastless anyway.
Was over at Gamma's house and we had a taste for pizza. Â Normally we order thin crust, but after seeing the pic on the menu of their deep dish, we had to try it. Â About an hour later, they delivered, and it was worth the wait. Â Lots of melted cheese, sweet cherry tomato like pizza sauce, and perfectly cooked Gino's East like crust. Â
Also, the medium was huge! Â And only $15 bucks! Â We will definitely be going here again.
9" meatball sub..... Best around!
First time i went here (a few years back) it was just a drive-by "hey there's a place" so i pulled in and got a couple dogs. Loaded Dogs, good thing they came in a basket... get a fork too be cause after you fininsh your dog you get to eat all that rolled off !
My next visit i needed a meatball sub so i got the 6" - 3 meatballs lotsa sauce & cheese ! GREAT STUFF !! I'll give you a hint, break up the meatballs & they won't roll out the other end as you eat 'em.
Be hungry when you ask for the 9" MB Sub & get napkins!
I would usually feel bad about giving a 5 star review only trying one thing on the menu, but NOT THIS TIME! No oh no Fat Ricky's has the BEST Chicago style hot dogs I've ever had. I hate all the restaurant's franchise & mom and pop's that say they have Chicago Vienna Hot Dogs, when really they are just Oscar Meyer's. From what I've heard they're pizza and beef are good too. But they are too far of a drive for me to try those. All I know is everytime I drive past Fat Ricky's I want a GOOD HOT DOG!
Review Source:I ate here during my IL visit earlier this month on October 12, 2011. My brother invited me and a friend to lunch at Fat Ricky's because it was close to his workplace. Being away from my hometown for a long time, I was craving good Chicago style food and was thrilled to find it here. My friend Terrie ordered the Massimo sub, my brother Fred had the Italian sausage, and I had the Italian beef. My friend and I shared our sandwiches so that we both had half of each. The Italian beef was so tender it practically melted in my mouth! The Massimo sub's flavors were absolutely delicious! My brother enjoyed his sandwich too. The food was excellent! However, I can only give it a 4 star rating because the service needs improvement. The counter clerk was so busy taking orders at the drive through window that I was ignored for over 10 minutes. I gave up and just sat down. Later my brother placed our order at the counter. I'm not sure if it was just a bad time or not enough staff. There were only about 2 other tables occupied at the time while there did seem to be a steady flow of vehicles at the drive through window. As a recommendation, I would suggest table service instead of counter service. Â The tasty food made it all worthwhile and I will go again whenever I return to the area.
Review Source:This place was awful. The Hamburger I tried was one of the worse and the fries they served were cold. It is very expensive too for a burger joint and you are much better off going to a chain resteraunt if you have the time than eating at this place. The place also was very hot and the smell of the grill proliferated all over the place. It felt like you were eating right next to the greasy stove. Not a very good place at all.
Review Source:Hands down our favorite deep-dish pizza! Better than Gino's or Giordano's, although Giordano's comes in as a close second. Everything else we've ever tried there has been good, but not fantastic. But like I said, this place will always be our favorite place to take non-Chicagoan visitors to show them what really awesome Chicago-style pizza is like.
Review Source:We went to the new one in Orland Park, so I don't know if there is a difference or not. I must be really spoiled on good pizza, because I thought this place sucked. The pizza tasted like Tombstone and they messed up a simple order. We complained and they gave us fries that had weird black crispy things in it. The girl serving us at the counter seemed clueless. What a waste of a good appetite.
Review Source:This place is great. Â Unfortunately I work across the street from here, so I'm going to get fat at fat ricky's every day! Â It's your classic burger / pizza shop. Â The menu actually has a lot of choices; italian, salads, dogs, beef, burgers, and pizza! Â Not to mention that the price is good, and the portions are large.
Ugh, I'm going to get so fat it's sick......
