Ricky’s Cafe - Red Deer, Alberta

Excellent service. Our waitress was attentive and when asked for pancakes to go for dogs she didn't give a sideways glance. She always made sure our coffee was topped up it was fresh and tasty 😋

I work across the street from here and eat all the time, food is delicious service is great. Even go in to eat on my days off :-)

We had a great meal at this location. We stopped in for a quick breakfast and my wife and I shared a meal and we were glad we did since it would have been way too big for just one of us. The insides were very warm and ... friendly. Our waitress was fantastic. Read more

My 3 year old son loves Ricky's. There are no bad options on the menu. The staff are friendly, the food is good, the serving sizes are large. He loves the treasure/toy box. We've never had a bad experience and we have been here a lot in the last year. ... Definitely a go-to when you don't know where to go. Read more

My recent visit to Ricky's (901-6702 Golden W Ave) left me with mixed feelings, primarily due to a stark contrast between the good service provided by our waitress (Lauren L) and the underwhelming dining experience overall. Approx. 4 tables were occupied at the time we were dining. The only positive ... was our waitress and the exit door, our initial plan was to visit another restaurant in the same parking area. Due to a very busy restaurant, we decided to give Ricky's a shot, but boy were we wrong in making that decision. We were seated instantly, and drinks were quick but the pop was flat with no fizz. No big deal it was still very drinkable, we placed our order. After making a small substitution on a dish that I agreed to pay full price for, she quickly returned to tell me I was not allowed soup with my dinner and had to take the coleslaw or remove it. Seems odd but the person who I assume to be the manager had an unpleasant look on his face with his arms crossed for the entire time we were dining this later made sense with the overall experience. The food arrived, $66.28 before tip. Starter: Chicken strips (chewy but extremely hot, the gravy tasted like ravioli. This is not gravy - Picture attached) Main course: Fish n Chips x2 (Fries were bland but okay, the fish was dripping with grease and tasted like the fryer) In terms of value for money, the prices seemed unjustifiably high given the quality of the food. We left the restaurant feeling unsatisfied and questioning the decision to spend our evening there. I am very understanding that restaurants have off nights, but you can tell this is a regular occurrence judging by the other reviews. I will never set foot in this restaurant again and will not be recommending this place to anyone. I hope for the sake of the employees trying that management takes some of the recent reviews and reflects or I see a "Closed" sign staying up permanently. Read more
