| - My son and I went to Ricks Saturday February 28th. It was around 7:00 and it was busy. The man at the door who I believe was the owner said it would be 15 to 20 minutes. Right after I came in a beautiful blond came in with her infant child and husband. They were clearly on the list after us.
So 15 to 20 minutes comes and goes and I notice that the blond is seated before us. The owner, very nice guy, told me we would be seated soon, and proceeded to seat other people in front of us. If it were not for my son who was very hungry, I would have walked out. But I kept my mouth shut and we were finally seated.
The waitress was probably the best part of the experience. My son ordered a 14oz rib eye that was very thin and seemed to be loaded with tenderizer. I BBQ rib eye steaks close to once a week and it is our favorite cut, and this was substandard. The menu said choice of potato and my son ordered the sweet potato fries and we got an up charge. He also ordered onions and mushrooms which were not on the steak and which we had removed from the check.
I got 1/2 BBQ chicken which I liked a lot.
I told this story to people at work and they suggested I post on Yelp. I gave it a week to allow myself to think about it because this place is the owners livelihood, and I take the reviews seriously. But after going to a number of other restaurants, and being treated respectfully, I think the review is necessary to let the owner know that in this age of the Internet you cannot get away with treating people that way.
So if you are a regular at Ricks, and are seated a head of other people, enjoy the privilege. If you are not and want a good meal and be treated respectfully, you may want to check out some of the other fine establishments in the area.
