However, the only bummer was the food wasn't that good. Now granted this was my first time coming here and we only got three things. But the clam chowder was so salty we couldn't even finish a cup of it. The muscles were cooked perfectly, however, the broth again was too salty. And the eggplant sandwich has a great sauce! But the bread to eggplant ratio was off. However, that's not to say I will not be coming back here. I definitely am. There is plenty more on the menu to try, and I'll be able to for a better opinion the more different dishes I taste.

We've been to Uncle Ricky's a few times over the last few years and visited again last Friday…read moreevening, July 19, 2024. Overall, the experience was great! I am not 100% certain that Uncle Ricky's offers inside seating: the main dining areas are outside, complete with a full bar that's enclosed (but still outside). There is a second bar that's fully exposed to the elements. It is definitely a low-key, relaxing environment and very enjoyable when the weather cooperates! Some key takeaways from our visit that may help out fellow would-be patrons: there isn't any draft beer. No big deal. I tried one of the specialty drinks called Cherry Ale and wow was it amazing! Uncle Ricky's offers standard "bar food" fare but above and beyond that, there's a full menu of items available as well as daily specials. A friend of mine likes Uncle Ricky's because they offer many seafood dinner options. There is also a strong chance of live music. Their Facebook page will alert you to the evening's specials as well as if there is a band playing or not. On Friday, there was a band and yes, it was pretty loud, but this didn't impact our evening negatively. Also, it's a bar atmosphere populated with regulars and locals. We find the buzz of a busy environment, filled with people enjoying life a rather pleasant experience. If you're looking for a more intimate, quiet place then you may want to reconsider. The server we had was attentive and pleasant. I also think the pricing of food and drink was extremely reasonable. Good service, a nice variety of different food options, and a relaxing atmosphere - what more do you need? For these reasons, I would patronize Uncle Ricky's again and recommend this business to others who are seeking a similar experience.

She instructed us to meet with the hostess inside to get a table on the patio. My wife was in a wheelchair and she told us she'd bring the hostess out. Very nice. We had a nice table on the patio, but I have to say the metal chairs weren't that comfortable. Our server, who was very pleasant, came over and took our order. For dinner my wife had the ravioli and I had the shrimp fra diavolo. Each dinner came with either soup or salad and bread. The salad was very good. Nice crisp greens and lettuce with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, shredded carrots, and other fresh ingredients. The Italian dressing we got with it tasted good. The bread was nice and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. A nice start to the meal. My wife enjoyed her ravioli. For me I got my meal over rice instead of pasta which was fine. The shrimp was cooked nice, but with the tails on. I know it's just a pet peeve of mine, but I hate dipping my hands in sauce to remove the tails. The sauce itself had one of the best amounts of spice from a fra diavolo i'd ever had. However, I can't say too much about the sauce itself. I wasn't a fan of the taste. Almost tasted like a sauce you'd get in a store. My biggest issue was at the end of the meal. Our waitress all but disappeared. I wanted to get our leftovers boxed and get the check. She wasn't even out on the patio for almost the entire time the singer took her break. Actually I barely saw any of the servers for awhile until the hostess came out and I flagged her down to get our server. Another issue that I wasn't too happy about is that the waitress couldn't take my card to pay for the meal. I had to leave my wife, who has alzhiemer's, alone while I went into the restaurant to pay at the hostess stand. Except for a diner, what restaurant requires you to pay at the hostess stand. If their prices were much lower I could see it, but making your patrons get up and pay was kind of stupid.

If you're someone looking for an elevated dining experience, namely entrees and appetizers that don't taste like bland sysco/big distributor bundles, this is not the place for you. If they are not using big distributors, then they have bigger issues to worry about because the food is honestly not good and overpriced; one shouldn't pay that much money for inferior food. The "brown butter" gnocchi dish was a 4/10 and seemed out of place with the other items on the confusing menu (no real theme or pattern to the food offered). The service was horrendous too, in case you were wondering. To the owner or managers who should have/should be doing this: go sit at every table and order food if the menu; notice the little problems at each: the chairs being too narrow on the patio (i'm not even a chud so idk how heavier folks manage this), the tables being not level, the soggy Caesar salads and appetizers falling off the cheap plates that are too small/the wrong shape for the food item....get a notepad and write down the issues. Little things like this influence your guests stay and experience and it is not difficult to fix them. There is such potential at this place and the owners need to get better, elevated, and high quality items on the menu with real chefs to see it through. I would not recommend this place to anyone, but if you're a bot you'll love it.

My husband had pasta with chicken in a vodka sauce. I sampled the sauce. It tasted very unpleasant as also evidenced by the fact he left most of what was on the very small plate. I had a shrimp and pasta dish (same baby plate). The white sauce tasted what I imagine dirty dish water would taste like. No flavor and four small shrimp partially cooked, also tasteless. I left most of mine on the plate also. Never again. As usual, Maplewood never fails to disappoint!
