    It was absolutely adorable. The food was amazing and the server was nice . Parking kind of sucked if you drive a pick up truck there's no room. You could park at the church if you have to but everything else was really nice.

    I LOVE their specials! This blackened Salmon on saffron rice was perfection! It's offered some days as a special. We got a seat outside I was a beautiful day. We also got the Chicken Cuban with the house chips. Always a favorite from their regular menu.

    Wow wow wow!!! This place is always stellar. This is the Brunch apothecary's sister restaurant (located in Dacula, another must try brunch spot!) and once I heard that, I knew I had to run over here. Ambiance: smaller homey space with limited parking. Service: not bad, very attentive, nothing out of the ordinary. Food: delicious, flavorful, just the right amount of creativity. I had the ahi tuna sandwich special. It had seaweed salad, pineapples and a sauce. It was the perfect amount of flavors that complemented each other. Overall this place is such a win! It's a must try.

    Corner seat. Only 3 tables open at 6:15 on Saturday

    Wednesday Lunch. We enjoyed being back here again. Our waitress was very good for lunch. We got there as they opened at 11 and walked right in. She had the french onion soup and I had the strawberry salad with grilled shrimp added. That salad was very tasty, fresh, and cold. We enjoyed being here again.

    Love the refurbished garage. The food is fabulous. So fresh. Lots of choices. Sweet potato chips are great. Shrimp poboy was delicious as were the fried green tomatoes. The waitress staff was great and attentive

    Steak with potatoes and green beans

    Fun atmosphere and food was great. I really enjoyed seeing the house packed with locals supporting the place and for good reason this place is a gem. Great service.

    I got the grilled shrimp special served on top of black beans and a scoop of mashed plantains with chicarrones on top! Delish!

    Three girls friends and I were together on a girls weekend and stopped in at Ricos. What a great find! We enjoyed our food very much. It was quite loud but it was a Friday night so that was to be expected. Service was amazing. Really fun spot with great food!

    Came here on a weekday with my sister and had a great time. I ordered one of the daily specials which was Fried Chicken over Mac & Cheese and green beans. It was delicious and quite a large portion. In addition, I got a sangria. My sister ordered the burger, which she also enjoyed. Our server was nice and attentive and the atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed, in a good way after a long day of work! This is a great find in the Buford area!

    So this restaurant popped up in a "Best Vegan Restaurants near me" Yelp search... looking at the menu i see NOTHING that is Vegan... what am I missing here?

    Hi. I’m not sure how we got labeled a vegan restaurant; however, we try to accommodate all of our guests. We are able to make dishes that are vegan, but they are limited to our salads and modified sandwiches. Rarely do we have an entire special… Read more

    Visiting in the past, we were somewhat inconvenienced by the fact that Ricco's doesn't take AmEx, which is the only card we carry. Has that changed?

    We now accept AMEX. We hope to see you soon.

    I wanted a nice steak for my birthday dinner and had been eyeing Seasons52 for a while and my lady…read moregranted my wish. My birthday is Christmas week and I typically don't go out as I simply would rather not have to deal with the anticipated crowds. It was indeed crowded (on a Tuesday!) but my experience is one I'll never forget. She had made reservations and so to save a bit of time, we did valet parking. And from the friendliness of the valet, to the near immediate greeting and seating upon arrival, Seasons52 truly made my birthday special. I honestly can't give enough kind words for our server Tori - she was a genuine treat! Professional, attentive, kind ... just a beautiful soul. Please acknowledge Tori for the kind human being that she is and the wonderful service she provides. And my steak - the 8 oz. filet - oh my! Easily one of the best I've ever had! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. I savored every bite! Even the young guy at valet parking (wish I had gotten his name) was attentive and pleasant. I left them both nice, FAT tips with the hope that I made there day just as much as they made mine. They were even intentional about thanking us for our visit as we were leaving. Thank you so much Seasons52 for making my birthday a memorable one!

    I had a pretty disappointing experience here, especially considering the price point. I ordered one…read moreof the more expensive items on the menu (steak and lobster), and unfortunately found a hair in my food, which completely ruined the moment. To their credit, the staff did apologize and replaced the meal, and also offered a Caesar salad. However, the salad itself was not good and didn't really make up for the situation. The replacement entrée was fine--it tasted good--but by that point the experience was already affected. For a place like this, you expect a higher level of quality control and attention to detail. While they did try to fix the issue, finding something like that in your food is hard to overlook. Overall, just not the experience I expected for the price. Only good thing was my server he was excellent, I wish I could have remembered his name.

Beer on tap or bottles, sweet or unsweetened tea started us off with fried cheese curds and fried green tomatoes which were 5 stars. A small house salad was enough to fill me after that while my partner enjoyed brisket on Texas style toast with fries. Plenty of bbq sauce are o. Each table. What a great place with excellent service!

I like the clear cocktail buckets vs the white ones they used to have. I can now see my drink when taking a pic (although they could of filled it up). The voodoo juice is always great. I tried a paloma, but had to send it back because it was so bad (sour old taste). My friend lined the mango Margarita, but I thought it was way too sweet. I miss the chairs out on the grass area to just sip a cocktail. They are all gone & there is only a dog house in that area now. The patio is all covered now. The tables in semi sun with the awning is gone too (husband likes this, but I'm a sun person) . The fried green tomatoes were delicious!! My husband didn't like the pimento cheese on them because they are soggy by the time you get to the bottom, but the rest of us loved them. The brisket Philly was good (& greasy if that isn't your thing). The fish tales & fries are always a favorite! They give a large portion of fish & they are always so fresh & tender. They look like they added items to menu (wings & build your own burger) Great service lije always!
