   I live going to Rick’s. We were seating on the deck. I wish we had eaten inside because when they pull down the plastic shades the voices of the other patrons was deafening. I’ll gladly sit out there in summer. I still love this restaurant and love their food especially catfish and calamari.

   Saturday dinner with a party of 6 adults (and a baby). Appetizers, drinks and dinners were all great. Prices are quite reasonable and service was quick even though they were busy. The staff was friendly and it's a very nice atmosphere. It overlooks Eagle Creek, so you can also have dinner with a view! Our server Travis did a fabulous job with our group. He checked on us frequently enough that we didn't have to wait for drink refills, etc. Highly recommend Rick's as a great spot to meet up with friends and family or just enjoy a nice dinner for two.

   Ricks Boatyard is absolutely amazing! No matter what the occasion may detail, you can not go wrong by going here. The food is always outstanding, the staff are great, and the view is gorgeous. I can't recall how many times I've been here, I promise my opinion is not biased. If you have not been here, and you have the chance, GO!

   Been here many times. Love the atmosphere, being on the water and all. But each time food seems more and more pre made. Even the beet salad looked and tasted like it had been made way in advance. Server excellent!!

   Okay, I've been coming to Rick's for years and I typically enjoy myself all the time. So, this time was not any different. Here's the thing. Rick's has to kick it up and change it up. Do the unexpected and have more featured foods that appeal to your guests. Do some tastings with people other than family and friends to get some honest feedback. You used to rock the house, but so does other $$$ restaurants. I'll come back and I hope that others do as well.
