Rick's Restaurant - Homemade hash - American Near Me - York, Maine

Amazing breakfast food was fantastic, muffins were really good great way to start your day

Food is good, nothing special. Tuna was way to full of mayonnaise making for a soggy messy sandwich. Good portions for the price. Staff is pleasant enough, but no one moves too fast even when busy. Be aware, if you sit on the side near the kitchen, the background noise is deafening and annoying. read more

Went there for a breakfast on a Monday morning, 30 minute wait which was expected for that time of year. Coffee was way too strong and tasted bitter/burnt. Pancakes were over cooked and tasted too sweet. Server and staff were good, they did end up taking those items off the bill. read more

Stopped by Ricks for the first time , had been there when it was Nancys. Gave our name and was told there was a wait, there were tables open but figured there might be a staffing shortage so we waited. We were seated after 15 min, and given menus. Waitress returned after some time and asked if we wanted to order drinks. We told her we were ready to order which seemed to startle her. She took our order, but did not write it down. She came back after a bit to verify what I had ordered. It took quite awhile for our food to come out, don't know what the delay was but people who were seated and ordered after us got their food before us. We ordered blueberry pancakes for my wife, they were good, the side of sausage that came with it was very overcooked. I had ordered a burger cooked medium, it was cooked past medium but not bad that would make me send it back. The waitress never returned to asked if we wanted drink refills, we didn't see her until we were just about finished, we asked for a to go box for the leftover pancakes. At this point I wanted to pay and leave, we waited 15more minutes (I timed it), which included asking another employee to get our bill which never arrived. We got up and went to the front desk and asked again for our bill , was asked to wait again for our waitress who finally came and printed one out. After I paid and was signing the bill there still wasn't anyone to take it from us, left it on the register and left. Can deal with short staff and some mistakes, but this was a collection of poor service all around for us. Food was ok , not memorable. Plenty of places to try other than here read more

Haddock was good. Fries could have cooked longer. No lemon, rice pilaf was horrible & small portions. Not worth what we spent.

Just waited over 20 minutes for a table after asking if there was a long wait. I was told there was no wait. The restaurant was less than half full. Only 2 tables were occupied in the dining room by the time we walked out. To add insult to injury, several parties walked in and went to directly to the counter and were served immediately. Terrible service!!! read more

Great breakfast. Service very friendly. Food came out quickly. Large portions and very tasty.

We happen upon Ricks Blue Jay Cafe this week and were very impressed! Service was outstanding, ambiance was clean and casual. We had lunch sandwiches: grilled cheese and a BLT, both were very good but my favorite were the rosemary fries! Will definitely go back next time we are in beautiful York! read more

We live just around the corner from Rick's and love to grab a weekend or holiday breakfast here. Their wait staff are always friendly (and over the past 8 months have been very COVID conscious), attentive and quick! While we don't know what winter will bring for outdoor seating, during the summer and fall, they had plenty of tables just outside the front door for distanced open air seating. While seating outside is right next to a Cumberland Farms service station, it really doesn't impact the dining experience (not too noisy and zero fuel smells) and is always where we opt to sit. Highly recommend! read more

If you want a great breakfast in York, ME, Rick's is the place to go. The first time we went, they were very busy, but it was worth the wait. The food was excellent, but the friendliness and efficiency of the wait staff made that and our next visit perfect. The price of our meals made our visit perfect. read more

Rick's is a quaint diner in York and a must stop if you are out looking for good breakfast! They have a fairly long wait time as would be expected in a popular spot such as this. We had the chocolate chip pancake and the cruiser omelette. Both were delicious and filling! It did taste like we were eating actual eggs and not eggo :) Stop by here for a good diner experience! read more

Excellent breakfast. Had the York omelette and avocado toast. Not a long wait even though they were busy. Omelette was good size and delicious. read more

Great little hole in the wall. (Pun) Awesome kittery beach omelette, planta cakes poach eggs with hollandaise and pork, the Reuben was fabulous. The wait was with it! read more

Quick service and delicious breakfast. The Fraser breakfast was excellent, and the Cruiser omelet may be the best I've ever had. The bacon was smoky, crisp, and perfect. Coffee was what you would expect from a diner. read more

We had no idea everything was closing for the season when we arrived in town. It seemed this was the only place open. It was closing night. $100 for a fried seafood platter, out of French fries so they added axtra seafood. No big deal . $40. The chowder was ok. And a basic burger we asked for the rice because they were out of fries. They never came. But 2 more cups of chowder came. Ok but way over priced. But the waiter was working hard and friendly. read more

Nice breakfast, right next to gas station. The people friendly the food good, what else can you want early in the morning.l read more

Rick's Restaurant - Good food home flavor - American Near Me - York, Maine

It was pretty good but the homemade hash was disappointing. It was mostly potatoes and not a lot of corned beef.

Food was good breakfast fare, service was excellent with not a long wait to be seated, inside could use some updating.

Excellent breakfast! Tasty crispy bacon, excellent home fries and pancakes. Very nice people working there too!

Was told about this place by a local while vacationing in York, ME Delish!! Great breakfast and great prices Good coffee as well Huevos rancheros were outstanding A must try if you're in the area read more

Great new Venue!! Awesome food and service!! The eggs Benedict florentine was overflowing with spinach and tomatoes!! The presentation was a 10!!! The home fries were delicious!! We look forward to going back!! read more

First time at Rick's today. Sat down and waited 30 minutes for a cup of coffee. I asked for milk she brought cream. I had to ask her 3 more times before she brought the milk. A party of people came in 25 minutes after us and got their coffee right away from our waitress who was very rude. The blueberry pancakes were gross. Will not go back there. read more

Breakfast was wonderful! Real corned beef hash (not too salty) and lovely eggs Benedict.

My wife and I have been coming to York for years. This is our favorite breakfast spot. It's a gem! You can expect hot homemade food, jam and a coffee cup that doesn't empty. They have an interesting mix of menu options ranging from local to southwestern. They even had house made pork green chili ( we live in Denver and it's a staple item there) the waitstaff is fantastic! Very nice our orders came out correctly and together and we didn't have to ask for anything because it was all on our table. A lot of places have good breakfast food, what makes this place stand out to me and keeps me coming back ( every morning we're in town) is the charm. It's very charming! Laid back, great food very kind and hard working staff. I can't think of anything else you would want. I recommend the blueberry pancakes with warm maple syrup. I don't give 5 star reviews often, I really try to be honest when I write these. I'm giving Rick's 5 stars because there isn't anything I think they could do better and I am impressed with there consistency every time I go. I know what I'm going to get. Great job! See you next time. read more

Rick's Restaurant - Sitting down from our table - American Near Me - York, Maine

See all

The food was absolutely delicious. We've been in York for a week and this was the first restaurant we've been to that had great tasting food. I had the huevos rancheros with a side of hot sauce and my husband had the corned beef Benedict and we finished all of them bc they we're fresh and tasty. They are kid friendly with a good kids menu. My son loved the green eggs and ham breakfast themed after Doctor Seuss. Tables are spaced far apart and the staff are masked and super friendly. read more

Food was great, but I could have done without the egg shell in my benedict. The tall waitress with glasses was not very pleasant AT ALL!! We asked for straws for our three drinks, and she only brought one. And we asked for extra napkins, and she only brought one and ran away. The table next to us got seated, and they told her that one more was coming, and that the needed three menus, and she said to just share. She was efficient, but not friendly at all. Wish we had the other older woman who was so friendly to everyone. And helped us. read more

We stopped here on our drive to York Harbor Beach and grabbed breakfast to go. The food was good, hearty and the hostess was very polite and friendly. read more

The food was to die for. I got pancakes, scrambled eggs, potatoes and bacon. Everything tasted home made in the sense you made things from scratch at home. Very cute atmosphere and each table had cute, unique salt and peppers shakers. My table had two little pigs. The parking was easy and there were plenty of spots to choose from. There was no wait and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. If visiting the area this place is a must! read more

Great food, great service, great Reuben's, great hash, tons of lobster in the omelet. Yummm

This is a yearly visit when I come to York Beach. I've never been disappointed. The lobster benedict (Lobbie) is amazing. I also love their grilled muffin of the day. read more

Such a funky place! Inside is way cooler and more inviting than the outside so don't judge this book by it's cover. Great options, tasty coffee, delicious food, drinks in mason jars, quick service, fair prices. 2 points of improvement would be our server wasn't very personable (she did her job, just definitely didn't go beyond that) and also maybe add if items on your menu are gluten free or not. It's such a common question to get now - might as well note it in advance! My friend is gluten free and she ordered the pork green chili not expecting a chili to have been made with flour. Quite the disappointment when she received the dish and couldn't eat it. read more

First off this place is still open. I guess it's under new ownership as of last month. I consider myself a foodie and regularly visit fine dining restaurants all over the world. Bottom line is this was the best breakfast I've had in memory. The quality of the food was outstanding. I had a county benedict which was an open faced biscuit with sausage, poached eggs, and some sausage gravy. The biscuit tasted freshly baked, the sausage was fresh sausage, not a frozen patty. My only complaint was the poached eggs did not have a runny yolk. Next time I will specify that. The breakfast potatoes at this restaurant were INCREDIBLE. They are smashed red bliss potatoes that are grilled and lightly seasoned. I could eat them every day. We could not stop raving to each other about how good the breakfast was. If this place is as good the next time we try it I will have found a new favorite breakfast place bar none. read more

Rick's Restaurant - Ricks breakfast menu as of 2-26-17 - American Near Me - York, Maine

Definitely one of the best breakfast places in the area! It was a night and day difference between here and the other breakfast joints in York Beach area. I recommend the Breakfast Burrito Smothered in their Pork Green Chili or the eggs Fluorentine which my girlfriend greatly enjoyed! So fresh so clean! read more

Our favorite place for breakfast in York. The staff is friendly and super attentive. Whether it's the eggs & potatoes, poached eggs on avocado toast, one of the many delicious omelettes, French toast or pancakes the quality is the best. It's all delicious. I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Had a great time here. Very cool atmosphere, even though it's slightly underground and in a brick building, the lighting makes the resteraunt warm and inviting. Good coffee to start. The menu offered lots of choices that all looked appetizing. We settled on one salmon arugula benny's and an omelette with goat cheese, spinach, bacon, and carmelized onions. My omelet was delicious; the spread if the ingredients was good. I had a little something in every bit. The salmon was a little salty, but nothing inedible beyond that. Our server was very pleasant and we definitely will be back again. Be sure to try the homemade strawberry raspberry jam! read more

What a difference a day makes! We started off this girls weekend with a terrible dinner experience at the Sand Dollar, and thankfully found Rick's Restaurant this morning for breakfast that turned it all around. What a nice place!! The staff were all friendly, and the food was delicious. We had a few different things among our group, and we were all happy. I borrowed a bite of my friend's blueberry pancakes raft were delish. The Hollandaise on the eggs Benedict was 100% homemade, the breakfast sandwich divine. But beyond the great good, the service was amazing. We were there during the Sunday morning rush, but the entire staff moved efficiently Thru the restaurant and kept things moving along - but we never felt rushed. So yummy! A great place to try when u come to York! read more

The restaurant has an electric decor and pulls it off with a cool hipster vibe. Food was pretty blah, I only had sausage and eggs so admittedly plain Jane on my end. My friend though got the corned beef hash and it was legit. Food was a little expensive for what we got though. A side of bacon for 3 bucks with only two strips of bacon was a tough pill to swallow for a cheapo like me. The restaurant is clearly a tourist trap and that's cool they have there place. read more
