Great place to hang out with friends. Good bar food and lots of pool and dart opportunities.

Good time for sure. Jody is the shif! She will definitely take care of you! First time in the bar side and got taken care of mid week by Jody! She made sure everyone got taken care of and had the best time possible. That all said, Nicki was a breath of fresh air. She was real and wonderful. Great place to swing by on a whim. read more

So far it seems everything has went down hill since our last visit, server is new but is doing a decent job, problem is we have been here awhile now and rinks took forever and not done right and we must not come in enough since the table next to us got full glasses and everything that should come with a bloody mary the food was edible but didn't come out as ordered at least mine wasn't. It was quiet for a bar during football season which was nice, although I was expecting a football crowd, and yet another place that adds a service charge, read more

Excellent server, good food. The drinks were made right, fun atmosphere. Looking forward to trying trivia night!

Fettuccine Alfredo was dry, the fried mushrooms were just fried in batter no flavor,I liked the fried zucchini but not much flavor either.

We have gone in for breakfast a few times and they usually only have 1 waitress on the restaurant side so she is always running around like crazy but is still attentive and helpful. They are kid friendly and they serve breakfast until 1pm. Food is good and doesn't usually take too long to come out. read more

Don't come here if you want food in any sort of timely manner. Ordered food at the same time we got our drinks. Almost 45 minutes later and we see the people behind us (who sat after) get their food. So someone in our party inquired about ours. They said their system went down and it's back up and she was making sure it would be out in a bit. 30 minutes later, still no food. So we inquired again. "My printer paper is messing up" was the excuse this time. Order was not put in either time is our guess. So now hour and a half in at this place and still no food. Great first impression at this place! read more

Food was horrible. Chicken strips were burnt & nachos were dry and tasteless :/ will not be coming back.

I came in the other night with a great group of about 10. We arrived around 9pm and couldn't find anywhere to sit inside, but service was prompt. We were able to find seats around 10pm and had a blast! We stayed until 1am singing karaoke, dancing and having delicious drinks. It's not fancy but on this Saturday night, it was a great time! read more

I haven't been this disappointed in a restaurant order in a LONG time. We have lived in the area for over 7 years and finally decided to give this place a try. When we received our delivery, we were NOT impressed. The order of mushrooms were less than half of what was shown on the menu. The "beer battered" onion rings were actually frozen panko crusted and the "10" piece coconut shrimp were also from frozen, small and I didn't receive the entire order of those either. On top of not receiving all 10, the coleslaw that came with it was nothing but a dry mix of cabbage and carrots (no sauce). I ordered my husband a burger which was obvious the patty also came from frozen and the fries were wet and soggy. Also, don't even bother paying extra for dips or sauces because they only fill the cups up 1/2 way. 100% disappointment here all the way around. Especially for the prices we paid for everything. Never ordering from here again! read more

I've stopped by here a few times, once with my daughter in the family side of the business and the other by myself in the bar/lounge. Mostly drawn here because I hear the food is great. Unfortunately both times that I went I waited over 10m and was never even acknowledged. In addition they were not busy with less than 25% occupancy from a visual analysis. Idk I decided it's obviously not for me. read more

We got here a little late after having been ignored at another establishment close by *side eye Kapowsin Ale House.* The waitress was very sweet and attentive. Because it was later in the evening, only the starters and pizzas were available, but everything we had was fantastic! read more

Rude bartender Liz. Approached bar, waited to order, asked for help was ignored while she asked others sitting at bar with drink if they wanted something else. Another waitress Ceci was very nice, offered to help, started to place our order when Liz came and stopped asked her what's she's doing... reminded Ceci that happy hour ends at bar time 540pm .... Liz never spoke to or acknowledged me, then walked off abruptly.... left Ceci and me feeling un welcome ... just rude annnndddd 2 fish tacos with no sides $8 read more

Wow! New to the area, had such a great 1st experience! Great service from Jody! She was able to make drinks for the entire bar, serve food, and still had time for a little conversation. They have so many specials and fun bar activities. Crab artichoke dip was FABULOUS! Thanks Jody!! read more

Honestly, after all the bad reviews, I was pleasantly surprised. Granted, this is based on two visits over 5 years apart, but still! The first time I went was at midnight on my 21st birthday, literally my first legal drink ever. I got an old fashioned, and they were nice enough to serve me even though they were closing up shop. If I remember correctly, I enjoyed my drink, though it also was my first old fashioned so I didn't know what the hell it was supposed to taste like. The second time I went was tonight. I gotta say, after reading the reviews, as a gay man going with my Mexican friend, I was a little concerned, which was heightened by going for karaoke on the night of a UFC match (McGregor vs. someone). When we got there, there were a ton of people there for the match, mostly white "tough guys", a few with Culp hats and other indications we may not be welcome. Despite our better judgement, we got some jello shots, stayed for a beer, and then when the fight was over, went in for karaoke. The karaoke queue was short, so we were able to sing quick, and everyone was supportive and having a great time. After singing, we we had another beer and played beer pong on the patio. The crowd was much more diverse than we expected. Every color represented, and clearly some LGBT people as well. And the bartender was super nice to both of us (well, the guy was; the girl was very busy and seemed stressed) and helped us out when he saw we were waiting too long. The beers and the jello shots were cheap, and as good as you expected bottled beer and jello shots to be. We did get an order of mozzarella sticks which were probably a little over priced for what they were, but they were good! All-in-all, a great time a good neighborhood bar. It feels more like a city bar than you'd expect from the area...in a good way. Reminds me of the bars I used to frequent in Dallas. I will be back and probably will become a regular! Thanks Ricky J!! read more

We haven't ever been inside, but we live very close by and have ordered several times. The food has been consistently good. We are often missing items or sauce that we paid for, but the quality and flavor of the food has made up for that. read more

Ok, so I've never been to the legendary Ricky J's, and I had high hopes for this experience. I drive by often, it always seemed busy and if I mentioned the name, everyone knew the place. We came in and the friendly ambience was very welcoming. It felt like a cool bar to hang out in, the type that's spacious but still close, pool, darts, the usual gathering hole. Service was fast, we had a waitress within minutes of sitting down, and ordered. Drinks were prompt and the food was literally minutes behind. Just ordered starters, cheese bread, fish and chips. Had a Mac & Jacks. Food was pretty subpar, the cheese on the garlic bread was pretty oily, and greasy, and the french fries and fish were cold. Overall, not a bad place to hang out, I'll try something different next time. read more

Greasy Dive with fights, drugs, and over serving to clearly drunk patrons. Floors seats and tables were sticky. Food sucks. Drinks sucks. Service sucks. read more

It's been awhile since I've wrote reviews as these a restaurants are going through a rough time during Covid. Drive by Ricky J's every day from work to home and looks like a typical sports bar from outside. Wife and I wanted something to eat that didn't have a wait on a Saturday night. We even brought our 7 yr old son. Pleasantly surprised. Was not busy on the restaurant side at all. Waitress was super nice and friendly. Had the Cobb salad. Son had the cheese pizza. Decent food for bar food. Lounge looked a good place for some adult drinks. No kid menu so minus one star. Would come by again though. read more

My favorite local bar. Excellent service, great food and fun. The steak is cooked perfectly every time. Whiskey Wednesday rocks!

Sadly after checking in on Yelp, this place offered a 10% off menu items, excluding alcohol, I asked if they will honor it and was advised No! Hmm, this was an offer by the business, yet won't honor it. Don't bother checking in when you're here! read more

Incredible staff. Food was amazing and had large portions. Very clean. There are two sides, one for family dining and one for bar area.

We have dropped into Ricky J's twice now and both times we received great customer service. They have a decent beer selection, two pool tables, and a daily happy hour. Our group ordered a salad and two sandwiches and the food was fresh and well prepared. Paige was our bartender/server and she is awesome! We will be back. read more

I've been told to go to Ricky J's for breakfast so we decided to try it this morning. First let me say I don't have a problem waiting if they are busy but when I'm still waiting for over 15 mins and a large group comes in and gets there order in before ours (2 people) then that makes me very mad! There customer service is very poor so needless to say we left and went to our favorite place Kelley's on Pacific. We got seated right away and ordered within 10 mins read more

I have been here several times because it's where my team meets as middle grounds. Wether we sit on the restaurant side or bar side it is SLOW and rude service. I will say the food is the redeeming quality! However, when I order and they don't bring the sauces (ranch, etc) and I have to ask again the staff seems so annoyed. I thought it was just low staff the first time we came but now I can confirm it's not. This bar is a 10min walk from my house. They could be making a lot more if service was not consistently awkwardly annoyed. I'd love to love this place as it's convenient, but it just falls short. read more

Really nice bartenders and staff (though, the bartenders could pay a little better attention to how long someone is waiting for a drink and make sure to serve the person who has been waiting the longest!) Met lots of nice patrons as well. Everyone in WA is so friendly! Food looked good, but we didn't try anything. Had a couple jello shots though - delicious! The dance floor was packed. Karaoke was going off with some terrific singers. The back patio is huge! (Even though it was covered in snow it looked like a great place for summer fun!) We will totally go back next time we're in that area. read more

Really great omelets. And their biscuits are tall and fluffy! Haven't tried the other food yet. Friendly service as well.

Sweet place.... Great service fun people. Food is so good. The music is awesome. Not loud,very clean. The cook.... Can cook a steak! Very highly recommended. Bring the family. Wear your sweaters "it's cold in there." read more

Cheap liquor grungy crowd spent most time outside wasn't for me. Did not try menu of food

Drove 30 minutes to watch a friend of mine play in a pool tournament. Bartender wouldn't accept my ID because it was a bit dirty, although completely legible. I'm 25 years old. My wallet full of cards with matching names didn't make a difference either, despite two being state issued (CPL and plumbing license, both of which I'd have to be over 21 to possess) read more

I took my family of four to this building. I call it that because we walked in, found a place to sit because nobody was around and waited for 10 minutes. We saw two other small groups seated already and never received any attention. So we left the building and found a place more welcoming. It wasn't a busy night! We were going for lunch. I was told everyone isn't welcome to eat at this building and I would not say this isn't accurate. read more

Been here quite a few times. Beer is cold, food is so-so. Went in to get a couple of beers and we were immediately asked for a credit card. Thought it was odd but complied. Waitress Patricia brought our beers and we asked why we had to give a card right away and she said that it was store policy. She then walked by another table (they had already eaten) and got their card. WTF? So we asked the couple if they were asked for a card immediately and they said no. Patricia came back and got an attitude when we called her out about it. So, watch out for racist bitches. BTW, the boyfriend is black, and Patricia would not look at him the whole time. The customers we asked asked about the card came out to check on us as we were leaving. read more

I went to Ricky J's with my dad and stepmom during dinner time on a Monday. Bar was decently busy, not packed. We started our experience with one waitress and ended with a different waiter. I've been in many times and understand that it's a "dive" bar without the frills but totally fits the bill as the backdrop for a good hang. Highs and lows: HIGHS: --The remodel looks great, seems a lot more clean in the bar (didn't go into bathrooms or restaurant) --We didn't have to wait a lifetime for our food like other times we've been in LOWS: --Very limited cider/seltzer selection. I have a gluten allergy and it just gets old being offered Angry Orchard or White Claw everywhere I go. Again, I know it's a dive bar but wish they were more "with the times" and willing to accommodate dietary needs with better options. --Beware the menu has ZERO GF/Vegetarian options. I'm not looking for anything extravagant but when I asked if they might have even a black bean patty or a frozen GF pizza crust so I could enjoy something other than a modified salad, the waitress was really rude and chuckled and said "no we don't have fancy options like that" -- I'm sorry, neither of those things are fancy nor too much to ask for. So I ended up getting a $15 average salad with no meat on it. So you pay $15 for what -- lettuce, egg, and cheese. But perhaps her attitude was the biggest disappointment. --Steep menu prices for what you get -- food and environment-wise. Overall, if you don't have dietary restrictions, don't mind paying a solid amount for simple bar food, and don't mind interacting sometimes condescending staff, you can go to Ricky J's and get a satisfying meal, good people watching, and enjoy their newly renovated space. read more

Salads are delicious here, especially the shrimp Louie salad. Cobb salad is good. Taco salad was good, just be sure to eat it quickly cause the warm taco meat will wilt the lettuce. These three salads are decently priced. $10.49 for taco salad and $10.99 for shrimp Louie and Cobb! Salt and vinegar wings are the only non breaded wings, all the others are breaded. My friend got the taco pizza and it looked good, but I didn't try it! read more
