Sad to see that everything and everyone has changed. I took my teen for a bit of nostalgia as I went there religiously after school and it lacked in every area you could think of. A couple of women and the cashier chatted while we waited 5-10 minutes for them to tell us over here and point at a menu. We made it easy and simple but the food lacked big time and I for sure won't be going there again. read more

The fact that they likely profit from towing cars from their lot after 3pm. Yes there are signs, still doesn't make it right. $500 plus to get our car back. Wouldn't eat here. Ever. read more

Honestly, the burger was delicious! Great burger, great crispy tacos! Don't listen to the reviews order a cheese burger and fries! Friendly staff! Wonderful property with outdoor seating! And directly off Main Street in Alhambra! Give it a try! 2 thumbs up read more

Disappointing is the word that sums it up. The place was empty but since it was 2pm during the week , I didn't think much of it. The burger and fries were nothing , I mean nothing special. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but Rick's was a huge disappointment. The burger was bland and tasted like it had been sitting around, the fries were soggy and cold. Service was slow and unfriendly, and for the prices they charge, it just isn't worth it. Definitely not coming back. read more

Used to love coming here for the weekly deals when we were broke students in 2013. But now? You can get something better down the street for the same price. The parking lot is huge but mostly empty, which feels like wasted space. They close at 3pm and will happily tow anyone lingering after hours. God forbid you enjoy the community of Alhambra. It feels like they're spending more time patrolling their lot than actually serving customers. Gotta make money somehow read more

I love Rick's in LA off Riverside drive .. this place is not the same and charges $16 for a smaller burrito that's not as good. I won't be coming back . $16??? Manager please the think this price . ‍ It's only $12 off Riverside drive read more

So, I dropped off my car for an oil change at the Kia dealership and decided to eat at Denny's. Seeing Rick's Burgers down the street, I felt nostalgic and decided to eat there. Boy, was that the wrong move on my part! Where do I begin? Well, for starters, the place is run-down. Unless you're into early '70s décor, it's an eyesore, not to mention there's no air conditioning. So, if you dine here, drink plenty of fluids. I ordered the chorizo and egg plate that came with potatoes. If I can describe it in one word: horrible. The chorizo tasted old and chewy, and the potatoes were sliced thin and underwhelming. The only decent item was the beans; they were okay. This is definitely not the Rick's I used to go to back in the day. Don't make the mistake I made and avoid this place at all costs. I felt like I just threw away $16.49. read more

DO NOT PARK IN THEIR LOT AFTER HOURS, THEY WILL TOW YOUR CAR. Turned out to be a very expensive night out. Parked my car in their lot for a couple of hours and they towed it. While their business was closed. I was not the only one parked there either. Don't even chance it, you'll come out to an empty lot like I did. read more

I've lived in Alhambra almost all my life and curiosity got the best of me, and boy was this a mistake. The reviews here speak for themselves. Avoid! Terrible bacon cheese burger, soggy fries, and the interior was hot and stuffy. I don't even know why I bothered trying this place. Not to mention, the service was spotty, the server was staring at me which made me uncomfortable. Please hold your restaurant to a higher standard, especially in such a great area of Alhambra. I'm surprised this place hasn't gone out of business considering it's in a prime location in downtown Alhambra. It's unfair other some small businesses that pop up here don't last long, and then this restaurant pulls it off with a very subpar dining experience. But hey, maybe they're splitting profits with the towing company, based on the number of complaints about being towed vs the actual restaurant reviews. read more

Thanks for towing my truck after hours! Four other cars got towed tonight! $500 a pop. Had to go to La Puente just to pick it up! ;)

Don't ever come to this location ever or use their parking services. There is no way they have a security watching the premises, bad service that's why they only have 8-3 what a joke read more

Have been coming to Rick's since highschool always bring so much memories just to ate burger and fries with my coupon after school . Has changed so much through the years misses the Latino vibe there and the Latino music on the weekends. I'm glad food still the same.. Customer Service is awesome I know the girls and cooks for years they're always so nice . read more

Rick's Drive In & Out - Ortega Breakfast is potatoes with an awesome salsa and egg with cheese, Chile and I add spinach to it and coffee . - Burgers Near Me - Alhambra, California

DO NOT park here at all. I only got chili cheese fries when I went to AHS, which was years ago and didn't get them after that. So not really extraordinary. It hasn't ever gotten full inside+outside, so the ambiance feels deserted. I recommend the chili cheese fries at TOPS JR near Target and Walgreens. But if you prefer thicker fries then The Hat would be it. Main Street diner closed, perfectly sweet closed and no doubt this one will close too. I will forever miss Perfectly Sweet, literally the best bakery ever. Rick's on the other hand, eh. Years ago my sister worked there and didn't have a great employer experience. Again don't park there! not worth it as they will immediately call their friends aka the (asap) towing company to get your car towed. If cars made a mess or the people littered obsessively then it makes sense; but, to just tow a car for money is wrong. Also, the towing place didn't have their story straight at first, as to who requested the tow until I went in person. The owner at Ricks, they said, 'a lady' called to tow the cars. At first they blamed it on some nightclub owner. So very sus, I'm sure they have an alliance with the towing company. As someone who's been part of Alhambra for years, I am beyond disappointed at how this place handles things overall. read more

Just witnessed a shorter tan woman with dark hair all but chase what would have been a customer out the door by very aggressively calling them a hispanic curse word due to them asking if there was a restroom they could use before they ordered their meal. Us and the only other table sat just looked on in shock. We only came here because the Popping Yolk up the street (a five start spot) was slammed. First time here and urge you not to visit. Zero customer service, and slow, all while completely empty on Sunday brunch rush. The food was simply..... bad! Am by no means a coffee snob, and rarely drink it, but this coffee MUST be the powdered insta coffee because have had better coffee at a low budget hotel. Or anywhere else. Not many breakfast options around downtown Alhambra, but would suggest going, again, anywhere else. read more

Very filthy tables are sticky food okay but order pancakes big black hair on the pancakes service need to improve not coming back

Wow, I made the mistake of coming here today. I should have known since it's noon on a Friday and I'm the only person here. How do you screw up a bacon cheeseburger? Almost $15 for a burger combo that tastes horrible. Hoping I'm not praying to the porcelain gods in a little while. The bathroom is worse than a public park restroom that hasn't been cleaned in weeks, and I'm a guy. It's a great location, take some pride for your establishment and the community. read more

the service was good and i was satisfied with the service and the quality of the food

AMBIANCE = EWWW FOOD = terrible SERVICE = worse than the food (which is tough to top) Surprised this place is still in business. read more

This place is a SCAM they will tow your car even if they are closed down. Food sucks and very rude to customers they think don't have money. read more

I met up with friends for lunch and ate in the outdoor patio. I ordered the cheeseburger combo which included fries and fountain drink. The food was ok nothing special or over the top it's just your average burger. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic only part of the indoor area is open but the patio has many tables to eat at. read more

Rick's Drive In & Out - Lunchtime in the patio - Burgers Near Me - Alhambra, California

Thought I would give them a try, however I noticed some shady things going on. The menu lists breakfast burritos are $8.99, so I ordered 2 and the bill's subtotal came out to $19.98. I should have caught it because 8.99 x 2 comes out to $17.98. Oh well, I will never come back here again. read more

Rick's Drive In & Out - Burritos show $8.99 on the menu so how is the subtotal $19.98? Seriously don't trust this place - Burgers Near Me - Alhambra, California

I came in at 2:40 pm on a Monday and the lady there rudely said she was closed, I explained to her saying the hours said you didn't close until 3pm and she rudely replied to me by saying she couldn't take my order because she wouldn't be getting paid after 3pm and she had to wash the dishes . If this is the case you should update your times and say your closed by 2:40 pm instead of confusing customers and having them drive over just have such horrible experience with you staff. They are beyond rude . I asked for her name and At first she questioned me asking me @why, what are you going to do" than I could could tell she lied by saying her name is Carmen . Horrible staff horrible service!! read more

Before venturing out to Rick's, I suggest calling first to see it the items you want are available. Two items on the menu I asked to order were not available. Could be due to a variety of reasons, so call before you go. It will save time and frustration. read more

WARNING****Don't park here!!! They tow your car away. ASAP Towing Company The worst place! Can't believe!! read more

This a hamburger joint that's been around since forever. Pre Pandemic, they'd have bands on the weekends jamming out on the patio or a DJ. Came here the other day and had breakfast which was meh. Hash Browns had a funky taste which I didn't like but bacon and eggs were fine. I'm sure lunch/dinner options are good. (hard to mess up burger and fries) but breakfast was just okay. read more

Terrible spot. Bad soggy burgers but they charge more then any other burger joint around. Bad performers that play the music way too loud at everyone passing by to better restaurants. No respect for the community they pretend to be a part of here in Alhambra. Do everyone a favor and go under ! read more

The vibes weren't there! Right when we came in uhhh nasty, the lady just seemed she didn't wanna be there. By the look of reviews it was a big no for me. read more

Do NOT eat here!! The service was ok. The food was horrible, we ordered scrambled eggs and there were eggs shells in our eggs. Served in a styrofoam picnic plate. The tables were all dirty. Like if you don't have dishes to wash why are the tables dirty. I honestly don't know how this place is still open. read more

Somehow Rick's always manages to mess up our order. Today I got a burnt omelette... why do we continue to come here. Maybe cause it's the closest to our house. But I think it might be time to venture out!!!! read more

Orders double cheeseburger plain , regular fries, waited 15 minutes nobody was there , no one has order , when I got my food , the burger was not plain , has so much lettuce , so much thousand island , and the fries were soggy , very salted , check food after order always , lady at cashier had attitude as well. read more

When you come to Rick's, you know what you're here for. Not caviar, not escargot, but a deliciously messy and satisfying burger. That's exactly what I got. It hit the spot! And that's exactly why I'm giving it such a high rating. You don't have to be a Michelin restaurant to give people a good meal, and EXCELLENT customer service. Our cashier was so incredibly sweet and considerate of us and went above and beyond the call of duty to make us happy and welcomed. They host music nights on the patios. As you sit and wait for your food, you watch the locals interact with the staff and with one another. You can tell this place cares deeply about their customers and community. I felt so great here! Will return next time I'm craving that bacon cheeseburger! read more

Come here for a burger, fries and a drink and an extra side of getting your car towed while you're eating there, on the house. More like Rick's burgers and towing! Am I right? read more

Towed my car for leaving it 10 minutes after eating there. This place is gross, dirty tables, cups and forks. Over prices for terrible food. You're better off going to Grill em' all or Dog Haus, its about the same price anyways. read more

Food (2): It's a pretty mediocre burger for something that isn't a chain fast food restaurant. I felt the patty was a bit too dry. It is freshly cooked, but it's got nothing on Habit or In-N-Out. Ambience (4): It's got a cool retro vibe for a fast food place. Has this old 80's diner feel especially with all of these old pictures of people who have been to the place. Price (3): Pretty average price for a fast food burger. Service (1): For the quality of burger that I got and the meal being standard size. It's a wonder what took them so long to get me the burger. They just seemed both really short handed and really slow. The line was about 4 people, but it still took at least 15 min to get through the line. It's insane. read more

One of the worst meals I have eaten. Bland and tasteless, why would you go here when there's a in n out 2 minutes away?

I don't know what people are complaining about.. you get what you pay for. If you like hole in the wall burger joints, you gotta try this one. I ordered a cheeseburger and for $3.79 it was great. The only downside is that under $5, they charge you 99 cents to use a credit card and 50 cents for over $5. read more
