Great food and good service as long as you avoid the weekend crush. The prices are reasonable and the traditional red-sauce entrees never disappoint. For a weekend visit, you need to either be there right when they open, or be in the mood to wait in the lobby or out front. Some people seemed to enjoy the camaraderie of the... More

What a great find! Sunday night is perfect time to experience Rick's, almost full yet no waiting, attentive service but not rushed and wonderful blackboard specials. If the Parmesan crabcake is offered when you are there, don't miss it!

If you want the best spaghetti with meatballs in the area ricks won't dissappoint. Family run and they are best hosts. Cozy and good food!

Came here last night- arrived around 8:30, put our name on the list, and waited for a few minutes. We were basicaly able to sit where ever we wanted- only a few other tables. Waitstaff was very nice and felt like I was in someone's home. My husband and I felt very comfortable. I like that it felt very laidback,... More

My recent meal at Ricks was quite disappointing. The complementary white bean dip which has always been amazingly good had no taste whatsoever and was quite thin.........definitely not the same dip that has drawn us to Ricks in the past. The flounder francese was so-so, and the lobster in the lobster Fra Diavolo was over cooked. For a much better... More

My wife and I ate here during Restaurant Week with our two twenty-something children. We really enjoyed it. Some of the reviewers complained about how they handle reservations. They have a sign-in sheet. The waiters (no hostess) work their way down the list and, as far as I could tell, do not prioritize reservations. We only waited five minutes, so... More

The first thing I noticed was the Trip Advisor sticker posted by the door. I knew it would be good. Dining on a tuesday night here is a good thing. Lines out the door and waiting is more a weekend event. We certainly had our servers attention and she made some suggestions as to what we should consider ordering. I... More

The great thing about Rick's is that you can order off the regular menu for some delicious home style Italian, with a flair. You can also expect fabulous blackboard specials. Whichever you choose, the food is yummy. My one small complaint was the rushed service. However, it was a Saturday night and I understand the need to move parties through.

Have been here multiple times with friends, my teenage children and just my wife and I. Have had a wonderful meal and experience every time. Folks just need to be realistic that on a Saturday "date night" there is going to be a wait. Some folks do seem to be able to call in reservations - I guess you just... More

Every hometown should have a Rick's, Quality food at a reasonable price. The menu offers a great selection of italian standards but the Specials board is your best bet. The Kitchen staff loves to create and it shows in the well crafted plates they present. A BYO makes the experience even more affordable
