| - Oh boy. Here we go.
I live right by this location so I'd like to think of it as a go-to in a pinch but those hopes and dreams have been shat on quite profusely by this location.
I usually dig Ricky's food when I'm hungry and when I actually get fed at this place, I'm often satisfied. Key word being IF I get fed. With consistently only one server on staff at all times, whether it's a packed Wednesday night from the senior apartment next door spilling out for their meal or a busy Sunday morning, I've only ever seen one server working. Ever. The owners of this location must be horrendously, inexcusably cheap to only ever have one employee working at a time, especially during busy times. I have a very hard time believing everyone but one person calls in sick every single day.
I went tonight with a friend and I think it was probably the last time I'll ever go. We waited to be seated at the front for about 10 minutes (the restaurant wasn't full, we were just being ignored). We sat at our table for a good 25 minutes before the server bothered coming over to take our order. For being the only server on that night, she was moving pretty slowly with a very "I don't really care" attitude about her. Not terribly friendly. Also, not surprising since she was the only person serving a (surprisingly) busy restaurant. At that point we said we just wanted the bill and took off down the street to Denny's, which seemed to be the only place that wasn't full.
If this location hired more people so you didn't have to wait half an hour just to order, I'd definitely go back. But I don't see that happening anytime soon; it's been like this for quite awhile now and it really is a shame, because it's in a great location and big enough to have potential.
