Ric's Restaurant & Sports Lounge

No Happy Hour Specials!

The menu changes every so often. Each time they take off the dish I like (chicken fried steak, Honey BBQ Ribs). But I continued to go there because of the nice staff and it is close to my house. Now the staff has changed and so does where I eat.
You feel as if you are a bother because the ladies spend so much time talking to each other you have to interrupt to make any requests. The male staff members are the nice ones even though it seems they are forced to do the actual work.

Wife and daughter and I tried Ric's for breakfast last Sunday. We were seated on the patio.

I am searching my head trying to think of anything positive or negative to say. The service was fine, but nothing spectacular. The food was fine but nothing spectacular. It just wasn't spectacular or memorable.

The breakfast menu is small and slightly overpriced. For three of us and no alcohol it was 55 dollars before tip. I thought that was pricey for what we ate (eggs benedict, french toast, and scrammbled egg skillet). I had the skillet and there were too many red and green peppers and not enough potato. The peppers overwhelmed the dish without a doubt. Also the cheese was the liquid crap that tastes like it comes out of a can.

Would I go back for breakfast? Probably not.

I have tried Ric's three different times and each time I have left unsatisfied. My girlfriend and I went there last night after finding that our favorite restaurant had a huge waiting list. So we wearily made our way into Ric's, knowing that service was going to be slow and the food would be sub par. But, for being as crowded as it was there last night (Friday night), the service was actually decent. We did have to wait a bit to order, but after that the waitress and busboy were on top of things.

I am giving a rating of 1 star because each visit leaves me wishing I had not chosen to eat here again. This time the food was just simply nauseating. It tasted like the processed food you get at those all-inclusive resorts, where everything seems to be made of the same ingredient and nothing has flavor. I had the Chicken Nono and she had the Chicken Marsala. They both lacked flavor and the sauces definitely came from a can. After a few bites we just were not able to swallow anymore.

The appetizer was the spinach artichoke dip with some bread. It was pretty good but a little bit on the pricey side at $11.

All in all, I spent $60 on an appetizer and two tasteless chicken dinners. We didnt even have alcohol - our drinks were a pepsi and a water. I feel completely ripped off and sorry to say, will never be returning. We couldnt finish our food and told the waitress not to bother with a box. After leaving the restaurant we found ourselves making comparisons to airplane food. We stopped for ice cream to get the flavor that Ric's left in our mouth out!
