    Met a dear cousin in law to catch up on our lives. Hailey met us and immediately seated us in a nice quiet area. She gave us plenty of time to read the menu while she served us our drinks and waters. The food was great and we were able to talk and hear each other well! Ambiance was warm and comforting with the dark woods and a bit of sunlight coming through the windows in front looking out to the town square! Hailey also got a to go order ready and timed it to arrive to the table at just the right moment. All in all, a lovely early dinner with someone I truly care about and wanted to pay attention to her words and give us a very nice and healthy fun meal.

    We had gone there in the past an it was pretty good. For our 23rd anniversary I made reservations at 8:00 as we had been told previously this was recommended. Upon walking in, we are immediately hit with a $10 cover charge as they say there is a band playing. I reluctantly agree. We get sat in the bar area, which is very loud as is. I see a band setup but no band. Our waitress, though very polite, seemed very distracted but took our order just the same. About 20 minutes later she brings our food, which is to say she just drops the food and runs. She failed to notice we had no table setting and burned off before we could say anything. We sat about another 5 minutes thinking maybe she had noticed and was getting silverware. Realizing, she was not coming back, I had to go search for someone to get us some silverware. The food was fair but the steak had pretty much been cooked twice but was still edible. After an hour or so, still no band, we paid the check (which she did that very promptly) we left. I hope Rick's makes the money I spent stretch bas I will definitely put this on the No Fly List for future visits. Save your money and eat elsewhere.

    We went for our anniversary. I really had hoped the steak and crab but they were out if crab. We ordered the chicken fried steak then a ribeye. Both were good. The crawfish beignets were probably the most memorable of the meal. The cabernet was also very good.

    The food was excellent but the service was terrible!! We were not met at the door we had to seek someone out in order to be seated. Everything took way too long. We waited snd waited in order to get our dessert. It was my birthday and a special occasion. I was asked if it was a special occasion but they didn’t make it special. We might not go back. Certainly not high on our list.

    We are new to town and went to Rick's for a very special 40th birthday. We actually stopped at the speakeasy next door before the dinner reservation and had oysters and a nice cocktail. It was a very nice experience. Rick's restaurant itself seemed historic and we loved that about it. However our waitress at dinner was not attentive in the least and rarely checked on us even though we spent $300+ on dinner for 3 people. The food was average (2 filets and chicken fried chicken) at best. Needless to say we won't be a repeat diner at Rick's.

    Service was slow and inattentive. Oysters- raw and grilled were really good. My steak, ordered medium rare was medium or medium well. Charred on the outside and lost its seasoning. I was disappointed frankly.

    Wonderful vibe to this place. You walk in the front doors to a dark paneled,old style bar, deep lounge seating and a glass top coffee table complete with magazines on the left. Through the archway is an inviting dining area and through glass door on the far right is a courtyard worthy of any establishment in New Orleans. The calamari was the best I have had in ages and I could have eaten the homemade remalaude with a spoon. The fettuccine Alfredo made 2 meals. A definite recommendation.

    We were seated and served drinks right away. I thought this was a good sign for things to come. The salad was middle of the road. Nothing too special; crisp iceberg lettuce, a couple cherry tomatoes and few slices of cucumber. The buttery toasted baguette slice was the redeeming item. My shaved rib eye sandwich tasted like reheated leftover steak from last weekends bbq. The jus needed salt and "more" beefiness. I did enjoy the house made chips. My companions beef tips were the highlight of lunch. Tender and rich over steamed rice. The portion was more than adequate. My impression: the lunchtime "cooks" didn’t quite have their heart into the meal prep. I believe we will try them one more time , perhaps for an evening meal. Maybe the dinner staff will have a better handle on the menu. I’m still in search…

    Our first time to Rick’s and hopefully won’t be the last. Heath made our experience one of the best we have had out in a long time. Great drinks, calamari was awesome, Filet was cooked to perfection, and you MUST save room for the bread pudding. We sat on the patio, music was on point and ambiance took you to New Orleans. It was fantastic!

    Rick’s is our go to date night spot and typically have excellent service and tasty food. We’ve been coming here for more than 20 years, but tonight was off. Service was rushed and our server was forgetful Didn’t receive a drink menu or wine menu. Bar drinks were not consistent with previous visits. Recipe was definitely off and was told there’s nothing we can do since they’re made in batches. Food would have been great, but potatoes were under seasoned and I didn’t get the salt and pepper I requested when the salads came…until I had finished my entree. We’ll certainly be back, but the night was not as great as I would have hoped.

    We had a reservation for 8:15 pm for my birthday. My kids and husband wanted to treat me for dinner. We were not greeted friendly by the blonde at the front in fact she told us we had an hour to eat before the band started because kids under 21 can’t be in the establishment. We were sat pretty much in the back. The waiter seemed like he was probably told we needed to be out by 9. Just rude and a horrible experience. The website isn’t clear on age after a certain time. Food was good.

    Very nice place but both steaks ordered at the table were tuff to the point of very chewy and had a lack of flavor. The gumbo was good, and the red dish was good. The bread pudding was ok, not anything special. Our service was good, and the restaurant was very clean.

    The steak was not cooked to order. I had to ask for salt and pepper because the crawfish stuffed filet mignon and au gratin potatos were bland. The food at Applebee’s is better than what we experienced last night.
