Wow. The BF & I were pleasantly surprised with this place. The people were very nice even though it was more of a local crowd and the drinks were cheap. The menu is small but man is it good!
We ordered the Cheeseburger and the Halibut burger. Both served with fries (shoestring, very crispy outside), nice veggie condiments (no wilted lettuce or soggy tomatoes, onions were not too overpowering) and on a perfect bun (soft but sturdy enough to hold the sandwich/burger together). The burger was so juicy, like unbelievably deliciously melt in your mouth juicy- cooked to perfection. They use GOOD FRESH halibut- if someone would have handed me the fried halibut burger with nothing else, I still would be writing this 5 star review.
All in all, very impressed and think EVERYONE should go here. If I come back- it will be my first stop.
we stopped here on our coastal trip, and were extremely happy with everything -- the fried halibut was outstanding, and the portion was huge. a solid variety of beers on tap for a dive bar as well -- Widmer in addition to old favorites. the best thing was the service and fellow patrons. they were very warm and friendly to out-of-staters like us. really a wonderful way to get acquainted to the Oregon coast. it seems like the best bar in Rockaway Beach to me.
Review Source:A big group of us from Portland were in the area and stumbled onto Ricks looking for karaoke and it was the best part of ur whole weekend. I hit a lot of karaoke in Portland, and the book at Ricks was HUGE. He was incredibly friendly and fun and manned the karaoke while running the place - all effortlessly. Admittedly, I didn't eat, but my friends chowed down and our drinks came quick. I can't wait to go back!
Review Source:We were desperate for a quick snack on our day of traveling and Rick's fit the bill. We got a prawn platter and some fries and onion rings to share. The prawns and fries were fine, the onion rings were great.
Whomever put in the hours the first time for this place posted that it's only open Mondays. I've submitted the changes on the hours. They're open every day. :P
Excellent service and excellent food for a beachtown tavern. Â If you are staying somewhere on the beach, I recommend getting your dinner to go and then taking it back to the room to watch the sunset.
Or if it's cloudy, stick around Rick's and watch the baseball game while you chat with other patrons.
