Ricky's Restaurant

In retrospect, I should have known to go somewhere else from the moment I walked in. It was dead, during Sunday "happy hour". The booths were dirty, there was tape on the walls and ceiling, but I was hungry. I ordered the cali-something salad with chicken and no feta cheese. They correctly made it with no cheese points there!, but the salad was disappointing. The chicken was cooked to death, the avocado was marred with brown spots and evidence of rough handling, the greens were untrimmed with wilt and browned edges, there was an enormous amount of raw onion, and the dressing has no flavour - just sweet. I didn't see how bad it was on a cursory inspection due to the dingy dim lighting, but I ought to have left and gone somewhere else. The white bun was nice, with echoes of garlic butter glazed across the top, but it did not save me impression of this meal. For the same price, I would go to any other pub / diner in Vernon. If I ever visit a Ricky's again and have a similar experience, there will be no third chance. I'm posting this review so that I remember to go somewhere else.

At 5:00pm on a Monday we waited over 29 minutes to not even be given a water to start. We made up 3 of the 4 people in the restaurant. I am pleased that the hostess acknowledged that we were left waiting and the kind thing of telling us where other local hot spots were, since we were all from our of town.Service: 1/5

I give a -0 Mar 31 23 we went for lunch n ordered a beef dip it was sloppy leftover scraps very little beef n fries were prep heated n gravy was so clumping and this was Cooked by the manager of the Ricky's in Vernon. We left right away. I loved it years ago KNOW it so dirty in side n food has gone down hill will not ever go back

Never again. Ordered eggs benny cooked medium. Eggs were undercooked, hollandaise was flavourless, hash browns were almost raw. On a positive note, the coffee was were good, as was the service. Waitress discounted our bill. We won’t be back.

Definitely a disappointment today. Been here a number of times, and today will be the last. The chicken that was ordered smelt like it had gone bad. Each piece had a awful smell and felt like rubber. We frequent the Kelowna location and have never had anything like this happen there.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! We stopped here for dinner due to its proximity to our hotel, but when half way through my food I found what I can only guess is a metal maybe plastic bead strip that fell in from whoever was preparing it. Given the current COVID times when extra precautions should be being taken by all food establishments this is totally unacceptable that something like this should end up in my salad. Other than that the service was slow and forgetful considering we were virtually the only table in the place, and my lasagna was far too oily with little meat and too much pasta. I wouldn’t eat here for the quality of food they served, but then when you consider their cleanliness standards at the moment I wouldn’t go near them again! If only Google would let you give less than zero could I give them the score they deserved, one star is far too generous.

Pancakes were inedible so our whole table had to send them back. Everything else just tasted like oil. They still charged us for the majority of our meal even though most of it got sent back. $55 bill with 5 of us sharing 2 meals in the end. Worst breakfast I’ve had anywhere. Would rate zero stars if I could.

We had a location in Kamloops years ago and I miss it. The breakfasts and lunches have never disappointed, good portions and reasonable prices.

Ricky's is in the hotel where I'm staying, and I often go there for dinner out of convenience. More often than not, there's some sort of problem. Burger bun was dry and falling apart. The menu says you can order a lettuce wrapped burger so I did that and they used shredded lettuce, how am I supposed to handle that? They're always closing early because of staffing issues, which is fair because everyone is having that problem right now. Tonight I went there and the hostess told me they can't serve me because they're short staffed and are swamped.. I look around to see only 4 other tables dining. Pretty frustrating. However the staff is really nice and friendly so I'll give them that.

Terrible lunch unfortunately. Not busy 2 tables but almost an hour for our meals. Fish was greasy and overly battered. Fries were overcooked. Had to wait extra time for a burger to arrive thatwas made wrong. Disappointing... being in the service industry I don't leave poor reviews usually. Hope they can fix what needs help.
