My wife and I decided to try this place out, for our date night. Thought it would be a full service kinda restaurant. However it's more like a "fast food" style restaurant. I will say the food was very good and was ready and brought to us within just a few minutes. The staff was super friendly and everything overall was a good experience. It wasn't all that expensive. We spent about $30. I give it an 8/10.

Stopped by here 6-25-25 Ordered #7 combo NO SOUR CREAM I don't understand why this specific location has an issue with putting sour cream on our food when we have stated we do NOT want it. At this point, its being done intentionally. I come here at least twice a week and order the loaded potato combo with tenders and a large drink. I order it the same way every time NO SOUR CREAM. This is the second time I have ordered it and they included SOUR CREAM. Receipt is correct. Amount charged is correct. Order is incorrect. Disappointed to say the least.

I thought this was a full service restaurant but you order at the counter and they bring the food. Bathroom and restaurant was clean, and the drink station had a good variety. Fruit Tea is DELICIOUS! The food was cold, and taste bland. Chicken was tender but a little dry. Potato salad was ok, Mozzarella sticks and ice cream was good. Overall the quality was Not as good as I thought it would be. Bland!!

I ordered a slab of ribs, pint of potato salad, cobbler and a large cup of ice. I received half a slab of ribs with end pieces put together to try and make the other half up. The potato salad and cobbler were correct. My biggest issue with this order is that I paid you $0.50 for a large cup of ice. You give me a cup of that's 75% full and has black marks inside of the cup as if the ink design from another cup transferred into it. There's no excuse for this. You can take 2 seconds to look inside the cup before putting anything in it. And there's no reason AT ALL to charge us for a cup of ice and not fill it ALL THE WAY UP. Im spending almost $40 on my order and you mean to tell me you cheated me out of half a slab of ribs AND my ICE???? Im more upset about the ice than anything because So

Good food but came out very late. It was cold. Funny thing, if you don’t leave a tip at the register, it just might be a factor in how quick your food comes out. 2 parties after us - with larger orders - added a tip and got their food before us. 🤔 News flash to Ricks GenZ employees: a tip is traditionally a “thank you” for good service by a WAITER OR WAITRESS whose hourly pay is well below minimum wage. It’s not a freebie bonus to cashiers or cooks. Tips come at the END of the meal when the customer determines how courteous and professional the service was.
