We had the food delivered and it was still hot when it arrived. Very tasty. We have went in to eat numerous times and always had great service, prices are good and the ambiance isn't too bad. Fine dinning, NO. Good food, YES. read more

Rick's Cafe - Two Egg Platter - Diners Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I have been here twice and it is always good. Pancakes? Superb. Eggs? Delicious. The Paloma? Delightful. The waitresses are super nice, friendly and helpful if you have any questions about the menu (which is pretty straightforward). A simple diner serving great food and tasty beverages. No fuss no muss. read more

Very good food, small breakfast spots like this are always extremely good. Rick's Cafe will definitely be seeing me again. read more

I have eaten breakfast there before but this morning was not favorable. My pancakes were tough and I could not cut them. I had to tear them. Grits were cold My friend was not happy with her pancakes or eggs. Eggs were crIspy. Bad day for the cook. The waitress comp out drinks read more

I have been here before but never posted a review - this one is from a visit on July 8th. We were here (as we have been) for a Geocaching event. There were about 25 of us, probably more, and despite it being during their Saturday evening dinner rush, all of our orders were correct, our drinks refilled in a timely manner, the staff friendly & our food was delicious and conservitely priced. I had the club sandwich with ham and bacon, fries, battered onion rings, fried okra and apple pie Ala mode. I love club sandwiches, and even though they are quite simple, Rick's was served hot, perfectly toasted, no bad ham cuts, fries crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, onion rings that were sweet in their battered shell and fried okra that reminded me of mama's home cooked okra from my childhood memories. The only hiccup in my meal was the pie. The crust was so light that it appeared uncooked - no crispy pie shell and the apples felt too firm. Even with my dessert being a let down, I was happy enough to want to make a return visit.....and soon as they have BBQ ribs on the menu! Ps, they have menu prices that are better than fast food when you consider the amount of food that you get with each order. Home cooking almost as good as your mom's. read more

We went on a Sunday morning around 10am. Fairly busy. First timers. It's seat yourself at this mom/pop place. Service was excellent. They were all over us as soon as we walked it. The food was really good and prices can't be beat. I would visit again without question. Nice job folks ! read more

Great homestyle menu, food is good, large portions, and service is always kind and attentive.

Love this place. Diner feeling. Clean, Food is good, and service is excellent. Try the steak sandwiches. read more

The restaurant was busy and the staff got us seated quickly, which was appreciated. The food was very good, service was exceptional.

Great place! It's got that old-school diner vibe that I love and amazing breakfast food with big portions. I always get the omelette and let me tell you, definitely the best omelette ever. Plus, your coffee cup will never be empty. read more

Great food! Perfectly cooked breakfast potatoes. Lovely waitress. We will definitely be coming back. Maybe for their new happy hour read more

I had the Half-rack ribs with sweet potato fries and hush puppies. The fries and hush puppies were very good! Probably a 4.5/5 for both of them. But the ribs were relatively dry and were pretty tough and would probably get a 2/5 for those. The sandwich's that the table across from me got actually looked very good! The service was a bit slow, as we had to wait a bit to order and even longer for our ticket to get to the table. Environment seemed like a lot of retired people just having a good time! read more

Ricks café might not look particularly attractive from the street as it is in a pretty nondescript strip mall. Kind of looks a bit industrial with dark windows. But when you go inside you'll be welcomed into a down home, local restaurant that is surprisingly spacious with lots of booths and tables. You won't feel crowded at Ricks. We visited Ricks several times over the last few months and it has become our favorite spot for breakfast. The home fries are particularly flavorful and fresh. The eggs are cooked to order, the pancakes are fluffy and delicious, and the bacon is above average. I recently had a biscuit with ham, Swiss cheese and scrambled egg and it was the best breakfast sandwich I've had - ever. Above all, the service is very friendly and they will always be coming around filling your cup with their great coffee. Ricks serves all kinds of comfort foods that we haven't tried yet: Fried catfish, Hickory smoked pulled pork, Louisiana style fried shrimp, hot wings, etc. etc. Great looking comfort food. I know we will be back to sample the rest of the menu! read more

Friendly waitress. The most beautiful whipped cream rosettes dressed the pancakes. My eggs and sausage were lovely as well.

The food and service were amazing, I got the favorites plate with French toast and it was 10/10. Will definitely be coming back!

I really like this place. If I lived closer I'd go more. A locals diner that serves good food! We had omelette that were cooked well. Love the sliced hash brown potato read more

When you're craving pancakes at 6PM, options are a little slim. But we're so glad we came across Rick's! I think back in the day this used to be a spot that locals would come to after a night out, but from what we experienced... this is definitely not the case anymore, plus I think they close at 9PM now. I would say Rick's draws in an older crowd and families, which was great because the restaurant was calm and quiet. It's also very spacious and we were able to seat ourselves. Our server was super friendly, and food came out fast-- and DELICIOUS! My husband and I both got versions of the 2 egg platter. Everything came out hot, and our favorite part was the home fries! They are well seasoned and crispy. I'm also super picky about my scrambled eggs and these were perfect. Prices were great, we got all that food for less than $25! I saw some reviews comparing to Denny's and iHop but I respectively disagree, this place is so much better. We will definitely be back! read more

The prices are great, the food is tasty with good portions and the service is always pleasant and quick.

We had a great breakfast at Rick's. I was specific about how I wanted my eggs cooked and they came out exactly right. All four of us ate all of food. Service was good - our server was prompt and efficient. Prices were reasonable, too. read more

Rick's Cafe Chef's should be directed to not over-salt. I could barely eat the Chicken Fried steak and gravy because of over-salting (and I'm a salt lover). Let the customer salt according to their tastes. It's far better to under-salt than to over-salt. read more

Love us some Rick's for breakfast! Just like the good 'ol days when we ate breakfast at home growing up. I don't think I've ever left hungry. Always full! Always satisfied! read more

Food was way better than you think from the outside. Really enjoyed the place. You can really tell why it's a local Hotspot with the friendly and fast service. Anyplace that a whole shift of Police will come sit and eat is worth every chance to try. read more

Consistently great food! I have eaten her many times, and each time the food is excellent! My favorites are the French toast and sausage links- delicious! Eggs are cooked to perfection each time. Clean and quiet restaurant. Great food, great prices, and excellent service! read more

I love a good mom n pop style cafe, simple food that gets rid of the hunger, priced at a very fair dollar amount. We dined here for lunch midweek at 12:00 and were told to choose any table. The parking lot wasn't full but filled out as we were leaving and it got busier with the lunch crowd coming in. I chose Donna's favorite which came with french cinnamon dusted toast, x2 eggs (scrambled), sausage patties and bacon, and finished. it. ALL. Super delicious! Our server was polite and attentive and looked after all the locals who enjoyed her company, you can tell this is one of those places that look after their regulars; I love that. read more

Rick's Cafe - Donna's Favorite - Diners Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Ricks has amazing food, great prices and a friendly atmosphere! I visited with two friends after we couldn't get into some of the more popular brunch locations (long waits) in Virginia Beach. Ricks is located close to the Oceana base for families visiting their Sailors. Their breakfast was very affordable and tasty! My coffee cup was never empty. Look forward to visiting them again. read more

In town to visit family looking for a nice out of the way place for a relaxing breakfast and Rick's fit the bill. Service and staff were great. It's our only visit so we don't have any history but this visit, and we found it on our own so no recommendations from friends/family. My wife had Donna's favorite with no complaints. I had the two egg platter with corned beef hash. I was looking for something other than carbs (fries, applesauce, etc) for the side and the server immediately offered broccoli (yeah, I know) which was great and very much appreciated. The one thing I was disappointed in was the hash. You'd be hard pressed to convince me it was anything but a can of Hormel's corned beef hash. Frankly that was disappointing but overall service was great, food (hash aside) was solid and we'd defiantly give it another shot. read more

Delicious, my husband and I stumbled upon this place while waiting for a nearby store to open. Absolutely delicious, staff was very attentive and worked together as a team. Food came quickly we would definitely stop by again if we were in the area. read more

I can see why president Obama came here for a visit. Loved the food. Tons of options. Great how they are open 24 hours. Love that they serve breakfast all day. The site itself could use updating but thanks to the menu prices it definitely deserves 5 stars with the food being so good along with the price. read more

STILL AWESOME! We stopped in years ago and loved it. Ask one of the staff about the hand made ships mounted on the wall. The story is worthy of a book. Food - great selection and all good. Service - OUTSTANDING! Location - perfect, great parking. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all equally excellent. Do famous people eat here - Hell yeah! read more

I love Rick's Cafe on Va Beach Blvd. Awesome Breakfast! Awesome Lunch! And their Double Cheeseburgers Highly Recommended!!

Jodi was amazing!!! Such a small place, not much but man! The Food speaks for itself! The pricing is cheap and you get a good amount of food. It really does feel like home! I definitely appreciate the buttered biscuit that was thrown on the flat top, the thing sliced home fries and the thick sausage gravy. Jodi was quick, sweet and made sure we were taken cared of.

I have heard about this place continually through the years as a great breakfast/diner/post drinking stop. You can get your grub on after some drinks at this place and leave satisfied. It's a kind of a hole in the wall place as compared to a Citrus or Bay Local but the breakfast is still delicious. You do not come here for the ambiance or decoration as it is a hole in the wall located on the far edge of Va Beach Blvd. We were seated right away and given menus. The entire menu is available all day everyday so if you want a burger and fries for breakfast, have at it! We ordered the Two egg platter with bacon and home fries and three egg platter with chicken fried chicken and fries. The wait was not long at all and our food came out hot and fresh. The chicken fried chicken was big and juicy and the sausage gravy was flavorful! The pancakes were alright though nothing special. It seemed like a bisquick pancake. However, everything else was cooked to order and delicious. Will continue to keep coming here for breakfast and late night bites. Solid experience! read more

Bathroom filthy. Needs regular cleaning(s). Ordered eggs over well last few times. Came back runny. Server said 'We're training some new cooks.' Huh? It's fried eggs guys. read more

Food is always great. The waitstaff aim to please. It seems filled with locals but even as someone from Williamsburg I'd say it's most popular for Virginia Beach locals. Today we each had a Reuben which is always delicious. Thank you for the terrific all around experience from food to service. My man would love it if you had your liquor license so he could order a Bloody Mary. read more

New to town and needed to find a solid, unpretentious diner where I could pop in early and be sure I'd get a tasty breakfast. I found it in Rick's Cafe. Several decades of family ownership have done this quiet little spot well. Staff is prompt and kind. Food is simple and delicious. Price to value makes perfect sense. I imagine I'll become a regular at this place and hopefully enjoy the same recognition the staff offered to the numerous locals who stopped by for breakfast while I was there. read more

I was driving by and realized I was starving so pulled into Rick's! I loved the nautical atmosphere! Sadly they were out of grilled chicken (and only reason I took off one star), but found so much else to enjoy. The salad was delicious! The Hushpuppies are to DIE FOR!!!! oh man- crispy on the outside and flavorful!!! I could have eaten a dozen! ;) My waitress was really welcoming, friendly, and efficient! Stop in and enjoy Rick's! read more
