Guy took multiple trys to get my order correct just when ordering. Finally got that how I wanted, I paid an sat an waited. I got my food to go but they miss heard an had it to dine in, so we had to wait the extra time to get it corrected, did not have tarter sause for fish basket an vegan burger no better that bks plant burger actually bk was better, at 12 dollars a meal you get a red patty an cold fries an mediocre bbq wings also they dont know what honey bbq is apparently

Never ordered! Went in on a Friday nite about 7: 30. Bartender said it would be an hour wait. Granted, it was busy inside.which is good.but cannot imagine too many folks coming back if this keeps up. In case owner didn’t know, repeat business is key. Not gonna wait an hour for fried fish or a burger! Additionally, their online menu doesn’t show fish options, so this needs amending.

If slow wait times continue, it will not make it. After 3 weeks, there should be no reason for this type of delay. Extremely disappointed. May try again, but not soon.

Tried again about 2 weeks later. Happy to report that fried fish was excellent & order took about 15 minutes. Nothing fancy, but very good.

Quick, friendly service and tasty, delicious food! Fried catfish is unmatched and the chicken wings - YOU MUST TRY. Highly recommend Rico’s and can’t wait to go back.

Just the worst first experience. Ordered online for a curbside pick up. They forgot my Mac and cheese and my Pepsi and I didn’t realize till I got home. I had the spicy bbq and buffalo boneless wings. The buffalo sauce itself is very spicy which I like but the wings are kind of mush and the last wing I was about to eat had a hair on it. So that’s pretty gross. Needless to say I won’t be going back. Pretty annoyed by the whole experience.

Very good. Best catfish I’ve had from a restaurant in a while. Boneless spicy wings are amazing. Better than Buffalo Wild Wings If you ask me

Awesome wings, awesome Mac and cheese, and awesome service. Hopefully one day I will meet a player from my lifetime team!

First time here, waited more than 1 hour for 2 orders of wings, 1 order of fries, an order of fried shrimp and fries and an order of catfish and fries. Only 3 people working, service slow. Fried shrimp batter tasted like smoke and left an after taste, fries were soggy, lemon pepper wings were over seasoned causing them to be very salty, catfish was not done in the middle. This is unaccepatble with waiting an hour, food should have been done and crispy. Im writing this review so that hopefully the correct changes will be made. I would like to visit this restaurant a second time, but it will not be in the near future.

The bartenders were friendly, very professional, and very well mannered. The chef they got in the back, wow, I've been around and had a lot of different fried catfish, but wow. This fish was so good I was silent for 10 minutes straight eating this golden crispy darkness. It's a new neighborhood spot, hope it stays and becomes a local spot. 10/10 recommend.
