2nd Visit and once again great comfort food and service. Only reason lost a star from last visit was for their bisque, last visit was the highlight of the meal this visit lobster bisque was no more than watery tomato soup such a disappointment!! Others in the party enjoyed their meals and cocktails. read more

Spent $120 for a $50 meal. The steak is flavorless and the service is awful. Was once great...not now. What has happened here? Once great, now less than average. read more

Rick's Chophouse - Excellent salmon dish - Seafood Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Well, I had been to the bar before a few times for a cocktail and I had been to a private wine dinner, but I had never eaten dinner there with a reservation. I made reservations for 12 people and I had two extra people show up. The staff went over and beyond expectations to add two people to our group at the last minute. I have never been so impressed. Our server took care of 14 people with separate checks. The service was excellent. The food was excellent. Everyone had a fantastic time. Ricks made me look like a rockstar as the host of our group. We will definitely go back. I am a fan! read more

Wandered in here for an impromptu date night after running errands all day with the boyfriend. I felt very under dressed in my brightly colored yoga pants and white denim jacket, but when we were headed to the back to go to the bar, the enviornment was still nice-- just a bit more casual than the front of the house. Initially we came in because nobody acknowledged us next door at Landon Winery, so we took our business elsewhere, and BOY did we NOT regret it Once I got over my initial self consciousness, I got to enjoy our improptu date night. The food was melt in my mouth! The ambiance was perfect. It did get a little noisy in the back,though, but that's okay. read more

Let me start off my saying the service here is phenomenal. We went here to celebrate my bday with my two littles and our server was SO attentive and nice and made us feel so special. If this review was just on service it would get 5 stars easily. But unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired. Here's what ordered and my honest opinions: Filet- 1/5 it was actually inedible in my opinion, under seasoned and over cooked. We ordered medium rare and it came out closer to medium well and was dry and tough. So disappointing. And no, they did not take it off the bill even though they knew we were unsatisfied. Lobster - 5/5 perfectly cooked Mac n cheese -4/5 good but nothing special, my son liked it and that's all that matters Fries- 4/5 better than they look. Crispy and nice texture and flavor. Crabcake - 3/5 good, but not great. Lots of crab meat, crispy on the outside, but the sauce was meh and I'm not huge on corn. Wedge salad- 4/5 good classic wedge Pecan pie - 4/5 hubby loved it Creamed spinach - 3.5/5 good but I can make a better one at home Scalloped potatoes- 2/5 ok...sauce was a bit watery and bland. For "fine dining", we were disappointed in the food. That being said, we still had a great experience bc of our server and we sat outside and downtown McKinney is so charming. But there are plenty of other places on the square for that. read more

When we moved to Dallas our realtor gifted us a gift card for Rick's. Every time we looked to go we were unable to reserve a table as the place is always fully booked for the times we wanted to go. Finally able to reserve a belated Valentine's Day dinner we ventured into downtown McKinney. Upon walking in we were immediately greeted by the hostesses and show to our table. We were taken into what looked a little like the library instead of the main dining hall. Nice romantic setting with only 2 other tables. Promptly greeted by our waitress who proceeded to explain the menu and some of the more notable items on the menu. We had the raw oysters to start which were very fresh and boy did that horseradish have a kick. As for our mains my fiancée had the filet carpetbagger and changed the fried shrimp for a grilled one. And I opted for the Cowboy. As we needed some greens we also ordered some sautéed spinach to keep the doctors happy. Overall the meals were good. Steaks could have used with some more seasoning, a little salt and pepper goes a long way. The cowboy is a bone in rib-eye but I found my cut to have a little too much fat for my liking. Loaded baked potatoes were large and tasty. The onion rings were okay. The breading was tasty but not crispy enough. Signs that they were not made to order and had been waiting for the next order. The sautéed spinach was nice although maybe a little too small a portion. The touch of lemon juice was a nice refreshing surprise. As we still had some wine in the bottle we decided to finish off the meal with a slice of Texan pecan pie. Very nice as it wasn't overly sweet. All in all a good meal. Not too expensive for a steak / chophouse. Service was good but steaks can do with more flavor. read more

One of the coolest steak houses I've been to lately. We were seated in a private room that had lots of books and interesting things to look at. The food and service was amazing. I didn't even need a knife to cut my filet mignon. Side dishes were phenomenal. Drinks were creative, and strong! Dessert was to die for! A creamy cheesecake with fresh berries. Top notch all around. read more

We just had our second dining experience at Rick's in 2 years, and it was outstanding in every way. Our waiter, Jon, made it extra special by his charming Cuban personality, friendliness, and indepth knowledge of the menu. All of his recommendations were spot on. Hence we finished the evening with a great satisfaction for having spent a wonderful evening at Rick's. We would rate it 10 stars if possible. DF, Tulsa, OK read more

The restaurant was beautiful in a unique old hotel (which is operating). We had shrimp and a filet with scalloped potatoes and elote corn. All were prepared perfectly and delicious! Our server was excellent; professional and friendly. We recommend Rick's when in McKinney! read more

Outstanding experience! Great waitstaff and great food. I came for a birthday lunch and had the Prime Rib Sandwich. It is served on a fresh hoagie roll, and has thinly sliced prime rib, Swiss cheese, arugula and carmelized onions, and a horseradish cream sauce. Great sandwich, I quickly lost the arugula as it was wilted from the heat of the sandwich. Additionally, some of the onions were not as carmelized as I like so I took many of them off as well. My pecan pie was good, but I am not a fan of chocolate drizzle on my pecan pie and would have preferred it be served at room temperature instead of chilled. Minor details though... read more

Always a great meal! We love to sneak in and sit at the bar for great service and lively conversation. The bartenders are top notch! We usually order apps and a salad to share. If friends are in town we'll have a drink and hope for a table. Be sure to reserve days ahead you need a table. read more

My husband and I have a standing late afternoon date at Rick's on Fridays. We sit in the lounge area and enjoy the ambiance, music and noise levels. The couches make the room feel cozy. The dishes we have shared have been first rate with attention to quality and detail. We have experienced the prime rib sandwich, beet salad, lobster bisque, tortilla soup, filet, and the rueben! The staff, although sometimes busy, have been attentive, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The bathrooms have always been spot clean! Following with a stroll around the historic square, this is OUR place. We sincerely thank Rick's for enriching our Friday date time together! We look forward to eating our way through the rest of the menu. Best regards, Jeff and Lisa Lieberman read more

I don't write reviews much but Rick's Chophouse stands out as the best buffet brunch I've ever had. (And no, I've never been to Vegas). I almost want to start a club for buffet-lovers so I can stuff my face with good company every month. read more

Went to Rick's for the brunch and it is the bomb! The food is off the charts good and the service is the best. Have been there many times and frankly is the best place for a nice romantic dinner with that special someone. But remember to get the desert too! read more

Went here for a birthday celebration for my mom's friend while she was in town from Florida. I've been in McKinney a couple months and still exploring the area for good food. This is a great place if you want upscale but still delicious and approachable food for a nice dinner out! Our service was excellent and friendly. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time, it can be quite a wait otherwise! read more

Rick's Chophouse is SO AMAZING!! I have been here a couple of times for lunch and it is always WONDERFUL. I love their soups and salads. I NEED to come back for dinner to try their steaks, they look soooo good. The atmosphere is great and I love it's in the heart of downtown McKinney! read more

First time at Ricks, also the last. Was looking forward to a great dinner due to great things I've heard about Ricks. Service wasn't the best, food was cold and lacked a lot of flavor. The only great thing was the wedge salad, perhaps the best I've ever had. Wish I could say my experience was great but it wasn't. Definitely won't be back. read more

We celebrated our 32 wedding anniversary at Rick's last night. The atmosphere was amazing. We sat mesmerized by the gas lanterns on the walls. We decided to share a bottle of amazing Zinfandel and were not disappointed. The service was spot on and we can't say enough good things about the quality of the food. Thank you for making our night memorable. read more

We had a wonderful experience here for my husbands 40th birthday. The owner Rick came out to wish him a happy birthday too! We ordered oysters Rockefeller, the elk and filet entrees and the side of mushrooms. Everything was just exquisite and the dishes were elevated. We also got a free birthday dessert. This is one of the only steak houses I've been too that serves elk so we will be back!! read more

The best dining experience I've had in the area, Rick's is located in the heart of historic downtown McKinney. The front dining area is spacious, with high ceilings and beautiful old wood flooring. There are intimate side rooms for larger parties and events, as well as a very cool bar/lounge space with comfy leather seating areas and tin ceilings. It's an elegant restaurant with exceptional service, while being relaxed and unpretentious. I made reservations for 4 a week in advance, and still only was able to get an 8:45pm seating. No worries, had some wonderful, strong and very tasty craft cocktails in the lounge first. Our waitress was incredibly professional and nice. After being seated, our waiter apprised of the specials and ended up starting with a massive chilled seafood platter that was to die for - oysters, shrimp, seared ahi and king crab legs on ice with drawn butter and horseradish. The menu consists of all types of steaks, pork chops, seafood, shrimp, lobster, fried chicken, buffalo, elk, salads, sides and appetizers. They have an extensive list of wines, whiskeys and ports, and I like that you can get a number of good wines by the glass. My favorite dinner item is the carpetbagger, a filet cooked to order, stuffed with fried shrimp with a twice baked potato...yum! The meat itself is from another planet, so tender and flavorful. One of my colleagues ordered prime rib, which was coated in a medley of chopped veggies and brussels sprouts. it also looked delicious. Desserts are fittingly spectacular and I can't resist the Texas pecan pie with whiskey chocolate sauce and ice cream. The service throughout is on par with the quality of food - absolutely outstanding. One feels pampered and in good hands throughout. If you are anywhere within 50 miles, I highly recommend Rick's for an unforgettable dining experience. read more

Great bar really enjoy dinning here. Always stop in when in McKinney. Lobster Bisque is delicious!!

What a wonderful birthday lunch with our grandson! We had Chicken Fried steak, Hamburger, chophouse salad, chicken sandwich, fried chicken and a bread pudding we shared among four of us and still there were leftovers. The staff is wonderful, friendly and professional. Even though the place had some big parties throughout on a Friday at lunch, it did not affect our service. We'll be back again! read more

Rick's exemplifies what true service & an amazing dining experience should be. We came here for a birthday and from the start they made it a special night. The shrimp cocktail was the perfect appetizer and we each enjoyed a salad starter. My favorite is the watermelon salad and recommend especially during summer. Entrees are great sizes. Dessert was delicious enjoying the key lime pie & crème brûlée. Always a treat coming here and want to thank Rick's for a wonderful dinner. read more

First time in eight years both of our meals were really bad. Shrimp :& Grits: Shrimp was overcooked so bad that it could hardly be cut. Chicken Fried Steak: Meat was about as tender as a shoe sole with little flavor, except for the overly thick crust. Desserts: Pecan Pie nearly frozen it was so cold and the pecans tasted very stale. Had to eat with a spoon as no fork was provided. Fruit tart with custard had no custard. The bottom of the dish was whipped cream as well as the top. Must have a new head chef as we have had these items in the past and they were very good. Lunch on 10/1224 Steve & Mary read more

Luxurious vibes all around. The staff is incredible, they treat you like a celebrity. The food is consistent and ALWAYS so good. My husband and I love going here for our anniversary or just date nights in general. 10/10 would recommend. MUST get the carpetbagger steak. read more

Very disappointed after the great things I've heard about this place. Waiter was very nice, but was too attentive (if that's possible). Refilled our waters so much that it would continually interrupt conversation. Also, one dish came out wrong and after making them aware, the waiter insisted they would make it again. Unfortunately it came back wrong a second time. Will say the lunch menu was reasonably priced. read more

Food was so good i forgot to take a picture! Great place and service. Our server went above and beyond and was amazing. The outdoor patio is wonderful and great place to eat food and enjoy weather. Recommend the crab cake and make it a burger. It's so delicious! read more

Service: Saturday afternoon, main dining area closed but buzzing with customers. We were directed "down the hall" to the bar/common area?. We walked down, to find locals lounging and the area overflowing. Clearly this is a watering hole/hangout. We were looking for early dinner, and reviews here were promising. After a surprise to-capacity-experience at the bar, we wanted to appeal to the hostess regarding dinner time and fitting in a dine in experience. We were told earliest dining is 5PM, and reservations were "full" til 9:30. Sad to say, first impressions are lasting ones, and unless theres some part-ownership/exclusivity at allows the FULL DINING AREA to be "open" to a select clientele to which we don't apply... why represent your experience as open and allowing guests if you turn away customers? Sorry, but from what we can gather, your experience does not seem to exude a distinct dining experience that sets you apart. Sad to say, I won't know if your establishment is worth a second visit, as the initial experience was very off-putting and unwelcoming. read more

Very good service and food. We enjoyed the Elk and the Pork Chop, the flavors and side pairings were perfect!

Service and most of our meal was great as well as the atmosphere. The apple pie was not well done and cold. Maybe that will be improved.

The food is very tasteful. Great menu selections. Be prepared to pay though. Service is always excellent. Ambiance is nice. I recommend a reservation. Occasionally we get in without one. read more
