Rick's Restaurant & Bakery

I know this restaurant has been here for decades. Heard all good things and decided to try it. Menu huge. Wait staff are on top of it. Friendly and efficient. We had chicken fried steak and eggs and eggs Benedict. Generous amounts. I asked for more hollandaise and lemon and got it promptly. We took their enormous Cinnamon roll home it was good too. We'll be back to try the lox, salmon and catfish.

I used to eat here a few times a week for breakfast, but their prices have gone up quite a bit and they weren’t super affordable to begin with. Also, MOST of the servers are in too much of a hurry to really listen to your order. I always feel rushed through everything. I’m no longer going back.

Cozy good food and atmosphere lots of locals enjoy the Cubano sandwich

I love the food and the staff are always nice and quick. The catfish breakfast is really good. I've not had a bad meal or service at Rick's.

The food was fine but the waitress rushed us to leave even while two other tables were not even finished eating. We asked for the check just to get a head start on checking out while I finished my food and coffee and the waitress kept coming back multiple times asking if we had paid yet. She even lingered nearby and I literally had to ask her for some space, which she didn’t give us. She instead pretended to be excited about a lizard nearby and cooed at it while staying near our table, then asked us again if we were ready to pay. I’ve had waiters tell me politely that their shift is ending and they need to close out all their tables, which is totally understandable, but she just vaguely said “she’s waiting for me” as if there was some staff inside that we were holding up, which made no sense. I’ve worked in restaurants before and it’s not like there’s some sort of time limit between a check being rung up and when it’s paid. After we told her for the third or fourth time that no we haven’t paid yet, she passively aggressively said “well you asked for the check.” Again, asking for the check doesn’t mean we must pay out within a specified time. Earlier another waitress also took our condiments from our table and brought it to another without asking us, even though we weren’t done. Overall we were made to feel like we better hurry up, pay and get the hell out through passive aggressive smiles while we were being harassed to pay. I’ve never experienced anything like it and definitely felt singled out because the other two tables that were way further behind us in checking out were left alone. The staff here needs to be retrained.

We love Rick's! The diner fare is always good and the Cuban specialties are a treat. The staff is excellent, efficient and friendly. It's our go-to breakfast place every weekend.

The best place for Breakfast, Lunch , or dinner. Great service and wait staff goes above and beyond for customers. We always stay at the Days Inn and walk right over and start the day off right at Ricks. Excellent coffee and excellent food. The owner knows how to run a business.

The food here was absolutely horrible. This is my first time at this restaurant my first time having a mini vacay in the Palm springs Palm desert area and this little diner was horrible. I read the reviews and from the reviews I expected the food to be delicious to my surprise the food was nasty and bland there was no seasoning my hash browns which I didn't ask for and the way to rudely said that I did and I did not ask for hash browns I asked for home style hash browns were soggy no salt no pepper nothing my omelette was soggy on the inside the food was horrible the French toast had no cinnamon no sweetening nothing it was just bread dipped in egg batter this food is horrible I don't know what you people are eating but this food is horrible and they should not have this many ratings I don't know if it was just the service that we was given but for 60 plus dollars I expect for my food to be tasting better both mine and my fiance's food was left sitting on the table the coffee was even horrible because customer service was horrible and yes I agree with the review previously written it looks like heaven's waiting room so maybe that's why the food is in season because there's a lot of elderly people who eat there and maybe their diet requires no seasoning no sugar no spices no nothing cuz this food was horrible please if you're from the Los Angeles area or anywhere in the city the food is horrible you're going to be disappointed

We have eaten at Rick's several times. The last two mornings the hash browns tasted as if the oil used was old. Food is tasty otherwise. Yesterday also the male host didn't bother to wear a mask nor did all clearing staff bother to have mask cover nose and mouth.

The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. Today was the perfect day for breakfast on the patio. Great spot for breakfast. This is our go to place since leaving MN. We luv it!!!
