Exactly what a dive bar should be. $4 burger, games, dark bar, great bar staff. Definitely a place I would visit again

This place is a dump! We had heard good things in the past about this place being good for burgers. It was an absolute ridiculous nightmare! First off my husband was asking about draft beer and their draft system was down- no draft beer at all. Secondly, the coolers weren't working well either so the beer wasn't really cold to drink as the bartender explained. We go to order, and we're told they are out of tomatoes and don't have mayonnaise! The last thing was we were served our fries even before our burgers weren't even on the grill! Needless to say we told the bartender to cancel the burger order and we left. What a crap experience. If you want a good bar burger and nice atmosphere and where the beer is cold, the service is awesome- go to Big League Brews down the road. read more

I don't know where they get these girls that work there, but my God...they are DUMB! I ordered a coke and hubby ordered a beer and two waters. The waters came, then 3 minutes later the beer. We sat for another 8 minutes and finally just threw money on the table and walked out. The server was behind the bar at one time and was texting on her phone...no coke to be had. She even wrote down our order! OMG...hubby told her to look for a different job because she's not qualified to work in a bar for sure. We never even got to order food. There were only two other gentlemen in there. It's not like she was busy. read more

Food was good. Burger seemed Smaller than in the past. The server was great but when it came time to pay the woman who has to ring up the bull took foreve despite 5 customers read more

The bartender Angela was quite rude. She'd rather take selfies than wait on the customers.

This is a dive bar. It is definitely not family friendly as there are always drunken men in there playing pool and swearing like drunken sailors, including the owner Rick! The pool tables are right there where the tables are and the whole bar can hear these loudmouth, vial men. The service is poor at best. I waited almost an hour for a burger and fries and it wasn't that busy! If any bar needs a rescue from John Taffer it's this one! Avoid this low class mess at all costs! read more

My 2 beers were around $14. Strong, large beers. Reasonable price. But our DD ordered an iced tea. No alcohol. Just a regular iced tea and his bill for the 1 drink was $7.50..seriously? That's crazy expensive for iced teas. 1 star for price gouging cause idk what else to call that. Other then that I'd say a much higher review but you can't do people like that and expect a reasonable review. read more

Just a subpar bar. The 95¢ burgers taste like they cost 95¢ so not surprised there. They don't have anything on their food menu above $5, the food is so cheap and tastes like it. Tall bud light is $3.50 and a tall oberon was $6.50. The bar tenders were nice and very attentive. Don't expect them to follow covid restrictions though. They do not care about that at all! read more

It's not the same in there. Cooks and waitresses just seem like they don't want to work. Literally have money right in their face and they just walk right on by. Forget about keno. Oh yeah on st patty's day might want to have more than two people working. Wouldn't the owner or a manager want to be in their establishment on one of its busier days? read more

A very divey- but homey- experience. My family and I love the atmosphere and food at this bar. The hamburgers are cheap and filling, the beer is diverse and delicious, and the wait staff feels like family, with an interesting patronage of all shapes and sizes. I know I've made some wonderfully misanthropic memories at this bar, especially concerning a few impressionable patrons. Will keep on going to this Downriver jem. read more

Great staff and atmosphere The head chef is top of the line cooks five star meals for her patrons read more

Very disappointed in the food and service this evening. This use to be our go to burger but the food and service as deteriorated. Im is that all bar have loud music but theirs is ridiculous, you can't even hear the bartender or waitress let alone have a conversation with the person next to you . Time to find our next Go to burger bar. read more

Imagine being "cash only" in 2023 and not mentioning it on the phone for carry out orders. Oh and a $4 ATM fee to top it off. Needless to say I left and they can keep the food. read more

Nice place to grab a cold one and chill!! The bartender was very nice and she made excellent beverages. I should have tried a burger but I felt that the grill was closing. There is always NEXT TIME Zane that will definitely be very soon!!! read more

We were regulars for several years, and frequent patrons the last couple of years as well. It used to be great burgers, great service, a "neighborhood" feel and you could tell they at least TRIED. Now they don't even try. The burgers are not as good as they used to be (different supplier??). They charge extra for lettuce and tomato, but don't tell you. The prices on everything but burgers has increased dramatically, but quality is inferior. It took us AN HOUR to get 2 burgers and fries tonight. The waitress never bothered to ask if we wanted drink refills or anything else... just brought the bill once we were finished eating (and we didn't finish the food because YUCK). Terrible. It's sad to say, but we will not be going back again. It's obvious that the current employees don't care nearly as much as the prior employees did. read more

Always new bartenders, watch your tab!! They add on drinks that are not yours to cover either their friends, or to make up what is already missing. read more

A friend and I played pool here today. After our 5th game we needed to get change for the pool tables and the server asked us for at least the 3rd time if we wanted drinks. After getting change we were playing a new game of pool and the server tells us we need to purchase something in order to play pool (messenger for the manager). I said can I purchase fries ($2.50) but then I said we did just play 5 games at ($0.75) each game. We planned to play about 3 more games which is only $6 of games and we planned to get something to snack on while we were there but they were very pushy saying we needed to purchase something to be there. Doesn't playing pool count as purchasing something? It was too pushy for me to purchase a basket of fries for $2 in order for them to accept us being there. So we left and probably won't return. It was a nice environment until it wasn't. read more

I was a newbie back in late 2015. I was attacked and choked-out while my hands were behind my back. Taylor Police were no help, wouldn't let me file charges. This bar is still in business, unsure why or how, as they allow many code violations. They defy non-smoking law, they have a special area just beyond the pool tables for smoking. Needless to say, as I was told by police, my only mistake was going to Rick's. read more

Ok so I just moved back to the city of Taylor and thought I would try this bar out since it is right across the street. So when we first got in it was packed to the bone. When we sat down we didn't get served til about 10 mins into being there, then we ordered food. The waitress said that it was gonna be about 30 mins. Which is fine but the entire time we were there it took forever to get us another beer but the food took at least an hour and 15 mins, I understand it is packed but damn that took forever, I will say the food was awesome I had a triple bacon cheeseburger and it was very fulfilling. However, the staff was very slow and I really think they need to hire more waitresses and cooks because the wait time was longer than Olive Garden. They were friendly but next time I come here it will be for drinks only and I will sit at the bar so they can see me. Oh and the vibe here is very loud with alot of bearded people lol more of an older crowd though. If I could write 2 and a half stars I would have tho. read more

I moved to Romulus from Los Angeles, while determined to find small town dives that I wouldn't be able to find in the city. The "95 cent burger" is an anomaly; for a burger that cheap, it's more than edible- it's actually pretty good. You pay more for worse at a fast food chain. Two burgers and two glasses of Bud Light, which brought us to a total of $6. That's a whopping deal. This is the kind of local spot I'd come to repeatedly after a long day of work, looking for a quick bite and a cold beer to wash it all down. read more

No frills. At all. The decor is basically beer signs and more beer signs -- the alcove as you walk in seems to be decorated in beer PACKAGING, not even real signs. BUT!! Half Time gives you the cheapest good time you'll ever have. Beers (well, one beer; last time it was Michelob Ultra, so it's not the good stuff, but still) are 95 cents!! Not even a dollar! They are 95 frickin' CENTS!! They might not even be a full 12 ounces -- I think they are 10, but again -- 95 cents. *****UPDATE: They don't sell the 95-cent beers anymore. (tear) :(( But, they do sell $5 pitchers, so it's almost the same thing. Then they have burgers for a dollar. Not sliders, but actual half-pound bar burgers -- for ONE DOLLAR!! (Actually, it might even be 95 cents, like the beer.) My personal favorite, though, is the mini tacos. They run about $2.95, but mmmmm, I love me some mini tacos. And wings are 35 cents each. The atmosphere is pretty rough, though, so you have to come with friends prepared to just drink some cheap beer, eat some cheap food and have a good time. Don't count on meeting anyone there to talk to -- that is, unless you like talking to old dudes and ladies who have been stuck to their bar stools for the past 20 years. No offense to them, I just wouldn't be able to converse with them for more than 2 minutes without freaking out. A sample of a conversation I overheard, "And why in hell would anyone hafta press 1 to speak to someone in English?? This is America! Who's not speakin' English??" Just not a very progressive crowd. The old people are ignorant and stuck in their ways, and the young people are ignorant and a little on the "Whaddaryooloookinat??" side. There are some pool tables and dart boards, if you like that, though my boyfriend said he once almost got in a fight over a dart board here, so... just speak English and everything should be cool. read more

Place is a joke. I saw three tables around us wait a half hour for burger and fries and we waited the same plus add on the ten minutes we waited just to order. No burger is worth this Won't ever come back. read more

Decided to try something different last night, boy do I regret it. As soon as I arrived I could see other patrons were aggravated. My wife and I ordered drinks and food shortly after. It was a good forty minutes for burgers and fries. Meanwhile an older gentleman and his wife were complaining about the wait for their order. The manager (possibly owner) spoke with him as he became more agitated. He and his wife ended up leaving. By this time we received our order, the worst burger I've ever tasted. After the older couple left the manager paraded around griping about the disappointed customer. I paid my bill, tipped the service and left quietly. I'm Le as than a mile away but will never return. read more

We have adopted this as one of our favorite neighborhood watering holes. Yes the crowd can sometimes be on the older side or the flannel shirt side but we have NEVER encountered any problems. It is a clean, comfortable bar with a great 95cents burger. As if the 95ent burger werent wonderful enough we discovered the large, frosted, goblet mug!! Cold draft beer poured into these babys is heaven in Taylor. Don't stop in if you're in a hurry.....the service is friendly but can be slow and honestly that is sometimes the best part about a trip to the local watering hole--the relaxed easiness of a bar to forget the stress of the week. We appreciate there is always music playing, ya know how some bars are either eeeeerie quiet or there is the sounds of jeopardy on the tv or a movie...theres isnt any of that here. TIP: ask if they have the krinkle cut fries available when ur there....one of those items not on the menu but wish it was YUUUMMMMM. read more

Can you give a negative rating? 90 minutes no food, only to get an attitude from the cook and bar maid. Decent dinner rush but no excuse for 90 minutes and no food. read more

Seemed pretty cool to me. Food was good. Can't beat the $1.00 burger. The waitress seemed nice. Couple pool tables and alot of tvs and games. Bathroom needs updating in my opinion though. read more

The food is good, whoever is in that kitchen does a nice job. The only food drawback is the wings do not come with sauce, you have to dip them in a tiny little plastic cup. Probably a good place for a neighborhood bar for friends and locals to listen to music and drink but not a sports friendly bar. We went there today to watch the Michigan game and someone put money in the juke box playing garbage rap music so everyone in the bar wearing Michigan gear who were watching the game complained and the owners ignored it. We left to take our money elsewhere. If you are looking for a place to watch sports, this is not it. I will not return to this place. read more

Went there on March 12 about 530 the place was crowded only 1 person working but she did a good job of keeping up until more employees got to work then everything went great hard to believe the burger is less than a dollar overall good place read more

Stay away after 5pm. The utmost WORST service. Carlee the barmaid was rude..condecending and just as unprofessional as you could possibly be. Been going there for a few years but will never ever step foot in this place at night again. Management needs to take a serious look at the night staff...starting with this young lady. read more

Okay where do I start.. how about the BURGERS!! EXCELLENT AND ON POINT! But idk what's better the price or the burgers it's self. The staff is very friendly and on point on checking up on you. The bar it self needs a make over. Maybe a total renovation will attract bigger and newer crowds as well. Not that it doesn't get crowded bcuz iv had my moments where the parking lot was jam packed. Also maybe put a couple booths around the wall will make it superb. But despite all this if you have had a burger from here and the game is on, what are you waiting for?? Stop by and I promise you won't be disappointed :)) read more

Best burger for 95 cents. You pay 10 dollars others places but this place you must try. The wings are 50 cents and are great. They have beer specials all the time. Climate just a bar with tv's. Must try a burger. read more

I've been coming to half time my whole life. Only place I'll get a burger from. My dad and I get it almost every weekend. Never a bad time. Best bar, hands down. read more

Great cheeseburgers for only $.95! You can't even get a burger that cheap at McDonald's. The burger was delicious- juicy and flavorful, and for an extra $1 you can make it a double! My husband had the double, I had the single, and We got an order of fries to share ($2 extra) and had 2 - 22oz craft beers. With 20% tip and tax we walked out paying exactly $20. Not bad for a delicious beer, burger, and fries :) read more

The burgers are cheap but really good. It's everything else I have a problem with. No refills on soda, no free water. I love to drink water after water with my food. Yet you bring me a bottled water with a Long Island class and say I get no refills on that too. Well I will enjoy my burger and leave. No tip as well because I had to pay for water at a bar. Jokes on you I peed on the floor. read more

Went to a bar last Saturday night I didn't get drunk, but I saw a bar fight! Yes indeed, I witnessed a full on Taylortucky bar brawl! Just a little cat fight between a couple of broads...it was very entertaining! I didn't get to sample the cheap eats that Liz H. mentioned in her review, but I did belt out a karaoke tune. Rick's is really nothing special, just your typical downriver trashy watering hole, but they do have cheap beer and eats. Oh yeah, and you can't beat the free entertainment...that alone almost makes it worth checking out! read more

food is below freezing and service is fucking abismal if i could give it 0 stars i would

4 stars just for the cheap food.and yes it is a typical no frills redneck bar. If you want a fancy hipster bar, go somewhere else......

Great burgers at great price. A double cheese is a lot of meat. Come hunger and leave stuffed.

Typical no frills bar. You cant beat the 95 cent burger; its very good. Stick to bottle beer as the draft beer all tastes like its running thru lines that have not been cleaned since the Carter administration. read more

Bartender gabbi is really hot. Worth going there just for her. Drinks are good also, I didn't have a chance to eat
