We loved our dinner here at Rick’s on the Square!
I had the red fish tacos and a side salad. Fresh ingredients and great service!
My husband enjoyed the salmon!
We shared a slice of key lime pie and it was excellent!
Who ever manages the music needs an award. Awesome rat pack songs all the way to 70s. Love!
Wonderfully warm atmosphere with great character. Excellent service. Salad was very fresh. Salmon was piping hot and red fish tacos were plentiful and flavorful. The great music added to a special evening!
The restaurant is cute in general. They have upstairs available for private booking and an outside area with live music. My party and I, arrived there but there was no indoor seating available so we decided to seat outside but there was a 10$ cover charge for each, i am assuming because of the live music which is totally understandable. The band was amazing, i loved their performance, however the service on our table was bad. Everything took so long, and the waitress was nowhere to be found and kind of rude. We ordered drinks and appetizers we got them but no water and no silverware. We had to bother another waitress for those cause ours disappeared for 30 mins but by that time we had to eat with our hands. We asked for another round of drinks and we receive them one whole hour later. We got main courses, the salmon was dreadful and my brother ordered fried pork ribs or something and it was raw. We didn’t want to send it back cause it would have taken so long to prepare another one. Also we asked for a beer and the waitress said it’s gonna take a while… for a beer…..??? Like why? and she recommended we should go inside the bar if we want it fast. Just ridiculous. Definitely not coming back.
For an established restaurant, I do not feel they should charge their customers a 3% fee for using a charge card. Would not have been upset over this is if I was told up front! Had a Ruben sandwich, which was good. Homemade potato chips tasted like leftovers heated up- they tasted like old grease. Had to ask for a glass for my beer, in which I was rudely told it’s not standard to come with a glass. Would not go back.
My husband and I recently had dinner at Ricks, this was our first time eating here. We were there on a Friday around 6:15pm so it wasn’t very busy at all. Our server was Heath and he was very knowledgeable about the menu and funny! My husband has a seafood allergy and we told Heath and they were able to accommodate him. We both had the cocktails, the Bluebonnet and Long Island Iced Tea. Both drinks were good but I think we preferred the LIT. We had the Grilled Texas Bites for an appetizer and I truly enjoyed them! My husband had a rib eye, purple hulled peas and fried okra. He was a little disappointed in his medium rare steak. He said that it lacked seasoning. Initially he didn’t ask for an add-on sauce for the steak but after tasting it he asked for the creamy peppercorn. I had chicken fried chicken, sauteed squash and steak fries. I thoroughly enjoyed my entire meal. The squash was well seasoned! There was so much food that we both had to get to go containers. Overall I would recommend Ricks for those wanting to try a steak and seafood restaurant without the hustle and bustle that come with other restaurants. Just FYI, we arrived before the live entertainment that was scheduled at 8pm so I am not certain how the ambience was at that point.
Was very pricey. Food was okay. Our server Calista was sweet. The Deviled Eggs we're very good. I ordered a Taco Salad with NO avocado or tomato. I got plenty of both on my salad. My daughter got the Hawaiian Burger. Was good. My Husband got the Texas Burger. It was very spicy but good. The fries were good. The Onion Rings were okay. They had NO Sweet Tea. The can of Sprite was very flat. The Coke in my Husband Jack & Coke was very flat. The Lemonade was good. The Banana Pudding and Key Lime Pie was good
Cost should be a line added. I love Rick’s food and atmosphere but my colleague ordered a salad and requested chicken instead of ham. I can see a reasonable up charge but almost $25 for the salad and iced water? That is ridiculous. And to top it off a 3% charge was added for using a credit card. Next time we eat out downtown, we will consider other options.
Great little place. I loved the outdoor area and the old school TX mill feel. The Band was outstanding and street tacos and dirty rice had a little kick to it. Well worth the visit. This is down town and parking is on side streets.
