Ricks is an icon in Chagrin Falls. It has been here for a very long time. It recently claimed an alley next to the restaurant which it turned into outdoor seating. You wouldn't think sitting in an alley would be a pleasurable dining experience, but they have made it really nice. The alley patio is always packed up.
The beers are cold and the bbq is great. We love the ribs and the cole slaw that goes with them is probably the best in town. Their pulled pork isn't bad and the burgers are really delicious.
You'll find a friendly wait staff and management. Makes the whole experience nice. If you are in town on a lazy afternoon, make sure that you stop at Ricks Cafe and enjoy a cocktail on the alley patio. Great for people watching too.
