Man oh man! Where to begin? I was advised by some friends to check this place out and it did not disappoint! Luckily, I went during the weekday so parking was good. I ordered the pastrami sandwich with onions rings and fries and it was delicious! Service was top notch, quick and friendly! Location is cool with plenty of parking. I'll be back for more! read more

The chili cheese fries are super underrated. Delicious with the right amount of crispiness from the fries and the chili drenching to balance it out. Tried the strawberry shake and oh man what a guilty pleasure. The workers are super nice and friendly and gives you recommendations. If you're at a Dodger game and need to find a post game meal come try this place out tucked in a little corner. read more

I love this place! The interior has an old school diner feel and the prices along with the food portion are very generous for Los Angeles. We got the breakfast burrito, burger combo, and a tea cake. The burrito was piping hot and fresh, as were the fries that came with the burger - it all tasted very freshly made. They have great salsa. Fast friendly service and a pretty big parking lot to boot - if you want to try a classic, non pretentious American diner vibe or get a big meal with a bunch of family or friends, definitely try Ricks! I live close and come often. I can't help but comment on a review saying the parking lot is small... this is Los Angeles, at least there is a FREEEE parking lot attached to the restaurant at all?! (It's actually quite big in my opinion) read more

Always worth a stop on the way back to the Bay Area. Massive size and clean tasting pastrami. Bread can get soggy on the drive, so eat it quick! read more

Rick's Drive In and Out - Pastrami Sandwich - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We drive by this place all the time and the drive-thru is always full so we decided to try it out for a late night dinner. It was a minute or two before 10:30 PM and the open lights were still blinking so we pulled into the drive thru. After a moment, we got an automated message the restaurant was closed so we began to leave when a different voice spoke out asking what we wanted to order. We thought maybe they close at 1030 but didn't turn off the sign yet, so we were happy to place our order. But checking the hours now (listed here and on their official website), it's weird that the automatic recording would say they're closed 90 minutes before they actually close. It seems like a small mom and pop type shop but they should get that fixed. Anyway, we got to the menu and quickly scanned it. Because, at the time we felt like they were staying open just for us, we felt pressured to order quickly so we got the 1/4 burger combo without giving the rest of the menu much of a glance. The 1/4 burger combo was the biggest thing on the menu so it jumped out at us first and we went with it. The ordering interface may need help because we had to repeat ourselves a few times. When asked if we wanted cheese, we said yes--should have asked if that was extra because it was. Each slice of cheese ended up being like $1+ and I totally regret it from a wallet standpoint. The drive thru did feel pretty tight and I have a small car so if you're not a good driver, maybe go inside instead. When we got to the window, the overall wait was just few minutes and soon we had our door and were driving home. Anyway, we enjoyed the fries in the combo during our drive home. Nothing special here but fries are always good when they're fresh and hot. Not much salt on them but that's fine. When we got home, we ate our burgers which were tightly and neatly packed. 1/4 patty, sesame seed bun, shredded lettuce, and sauce. I was satisfied but this burger does not stand out compared to all the other burgers I've eaten over the course of my life. I would say it's a small step above the Big Mac--the meat is better quality but it's also without the extra bun and patty (though 2 Big Mac patties is likely equivalent to a 1/4 patty). Not really sure if it had pickles or onions. Would recommend for a quick, no frills meal. Couldn't say much about their extended menu though as our first visit, it seems, was likely the culmination of misunderstandings. read more

Want to go somewhere to get some decent food at a fair price? This is the place to go. Been here a few times while visiting LA. Always ate inside. Nothing fancy here. The foods the star of this show. Had breakfast and lunch at Rick's. Always good. Rick's is very clean. Give it a try read more

It was a Sunday afternoon and the place was hopping! I was getting their famous onion rings. The servers were all smiling, the wait was minimal, you basically order through one person standing at a computer. She was very pleasant, I opted to also order a pastrami sandwich. As I waited, I noticed the smoothness of service I like to call "a well oiled machine"! People were sitting at their tables and as their order came up, a name was called to be handed delivered to the customer, again always with a smile! When I got to my friend's house the onion rings were still perfectly hot and still crispy, dipped in a sour cream sauce that cooled them down enough to not burn your mouth! When I came home I dug into my pastrami sandwich (I miss that sandwich from the old Greenblat's on the Sunset plaza) it was ginormous! It had a perfect balance with single slices of pickles, yellow mustard and cheese on a soft bun. I was in heaven, I saved the other half, deconstructed it, pan fried it and added an egg to it the next morning. What amazed me was that it was not greasy, it was all meat! I loved everything about this place, the feeling of an all American Diner is truly heartwarming! Great job for keeping Rick's open all these years, they even have a drive through window! read more

Rick's Drive In and Out - My pastrami sandwich, notice there is no grease on the wrapping? - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Rick's is such a LA staple, many people frequent this restaurant before and after the Dodgers games! When arriving the parking lot is a small lot in front of the restaurant, but they do have additional parking to the side of the restaurant! When you walk in you are greeted by a very very strong presence of Dodgers gear! The restaurant offers plenty of seating as well as TVs. You place your order at the counter first and then you grab a seat anywhere in the place, no one to assign seats! We ordered the cheeseburger combo one with fries and one upgraded to onion rings. We also upgraded one drink to a vanilla milkshake. Our order came out very fast! The burger was definitely not lacking any toppings. There was the perfect amount of each ingredient on the burger! The first bite, I was hooked, it was so juicy and flavorful. The flavor reminded me of if a Big Mac and a whopper had a baby, it would be a Rick's cheeseburger! The fries are SO delicious, they are crispy and HOT. The onion rings were out of this world. They were big in size and very flavorful especially with the ranch! The milkshake was a hand scooped one, and you could definitely taste the authentic vanilla flavor! The only reason we give it a 4 star is the price. It was $40 for two meals, which is pretty steep, but overall it was a delicious meal that left us full! Go check out Rick's if you're in the area or if you're going to a game, make it a tradition! read more

I went with three other friends for lunch. Had turkey burger it and fries and order a slice of pie to go. Service was ok. It has an old diner feel; with booth seating. You place you order and sit down and someone brings it to you. My only complaint was that my pie wasn't ready when it was time to leave. I have to wait for someone to slice and package it, so I had three people waiting in the car for me. It wasn't an efficient process. Parking is limited because this is a small lot. read more

Rick's is definitely a neighborhood gem. This has been, for a very long time, a friendly spot for folks to come before after or during dodger games. Luckily they do have their own small parking lot. This is a very cozy community spot. Everybody from the neighborhood has probably been to Rick's at least once or twice since they've lived in this area. There is something about this little greasy spoon that is so special. I don't think anybody can really put their finger on it. The last time I came here, I brought my daughter with me. She and I shared one of their giant breakfast burritos. It was so good. It wasn't anything fancy, but really the love that they put into it is what makes all the difference. Whether you are a regular or a newcomer, you will still be greeted warmly and with open arms. A girlfriend of mine that met up with us during our breakfast visit ordered eight eggs and chorizo plate. She instantly fell in love with that breakfast and said that she had to order another one to go. On top of that, she said that our breakfast burrito looked really good and watching us eat it made her want one for later. So she also ordered one of those to go. Prices here are, to me, not as expensive as some other local breakfast at Mexican breakfast spots. Watch out if you eat their salsa. The green one is great for flavor. The red one is what kicks you in your butt. At least for me, that red salsa is spicy. I cannot wait for the start of baseball season again. That is when this place really starts popping and picking up. Be patient with everyone who works here. There is always a line at the drive-through as well as inside. They are working as fast as quickly as possible to make sure that you get what you want and how you want it. read more

Tonight we stopped by our place ricks we have been coming here since I can't remember that long:) so I ordered 2 ricks super buy and 2 club sandwiches and a bacon burger thru the drive thru got to the window they took our payment got our drinks and waited for food when he came to the window with food he asked if we wanted condiments so I asked for 5 ranch 5 thousand islands 1 for each of us .he proceeded to tell me that we would have to charge me extra cause it's over 3 sauces.and I asked him how much he said .25cents each I was like since when do you guys charge for condiments I've had this seperate issue 2 years ago when the lady wanted to charge me .75 cents each for them. Funny thing is I spoke to the owner angelo one day when I saw him coming to his restaurant he said there is no sauce policy and they shouldn't have asked to charge you for it .now I'm getting to think that maybe these employees that are charging for this extra sauces are doing so to make a little side money for themselves without the owner knowing well that's my observation.but all in all I would like if they going to charge you for extra sauces atleast do it upfront and not after you have made your payment.i have more details that i wont mention because all in all i still love supporting mom and pops business like ricks read more

We were looking for pastrami sandwiches while in SoCal since no one in NorCal makes them the same way. Husband ordered his pastrami sandwich & at first look, it looked delicious! I began to unwrap it and realized its super greasy. First bite in & the salt hits yo, hard. Its way too salty AND greasy. We've had many pastrami sandwiches and this is by far, the greasing, most salty one ever & that's not a good thing. I ordered the 2 eggs, hotcakes & sausage plate. The pancakes were undercooked & tasted like raw batter. The eggs, which I ordered over easy, were almost completely raw. Took one bit and was grossed out. Couldn't finish my meal. Almost went to ask for a refund but Im not comfortable making a fuss so I just left the plate. My daughter ordered the sausage breakfast burrito & liked it. It was huge & she couldn't finish it. read more

Rick's Drive In and Out - Chili cheese French Fries Hamburger - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The kids and I needed something quick and easy when we made a quick stop off on our way to Disneyland. I love these kinds of drive through because they always have one of my favorite fast foods, fried zucchini. I have a large pick up truck with a long truck bed (it's about 6.5 feet) and that drive thru was tight. Folks with longer cars, make sure you check your mirrors as you make your way around to avoid any issues. We got a grilled cheese (my daughter enjoyed it but for $6 there was a sad amount of cheese. No cheese made it to the crust), fried zucchini (it was thick, breaded and seasoned well, and made fresh) , a chicken taco (this was bland with what seemed like boiled chicken maybe? I won't get that again), fries (just your average fries, nothing special.), a veggie burger (unfortunately this got really soggy and the bread fell apart which made it too hard for my son to eat) and a Jamaica tea (this tea was DELICIOUS! It was tart, not overly sweet and tasted authentic I'll go again, it not only got more of that Jamaica tea and the zucchini. read more

came thought the drive thru because we were hungry. i've always seen people lined up at the drive thru so we decided to give it a try. i got the 1/4lb Hamburger with Cheese. The hamburger was huge. Probably because it was packed with lettuce. The cheese was an extra $1.50. the place looked like any burger diner. the burger was just okay. i was expecting some sort of special sauce with it but it was just a regular burger. i loved the fries. if you're craving to get your burger fix this place is it. read more

After a 10k at Dodger Stadium and looking for a quick place to grab a bite. Rick's stood out as the option. they have very friendly service a larger selection of items on their menu. The burger was great, felt like a nice mom and pop shop burger. The onion rings were nice and crispy and the chili cheese fries were loaded. It's pretty well priced for the large portions they serve. Stop by here after you've seen your back to back MLB champions play. read more

Always the best customer service and the food is great! I have eaten there for many years.

Aside from the incredible food and fair prices, Rick's has warm atmosphere that does not exist in a lot of restaurants today. Elizabeth and the rest of the staff were extremely kind and made me feel right at home. Definitely recommend eating here! read more

I Love Rick's! Personally I think they have one of the best breakfast burritos in the LA area. We usually get it with bacon and avocado. Big, filling and the salsas make it even better. The side of extra crispy hash browns are crunchy and have just enough "grease" to add another layer of deliciousness! The side of white toast is just a bonus. The service is always friendly. The place is clean. The atmosphere is like an old diner back East. Ambiance 10/10 Cleanliness 9/10 Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Value 9/10 Will I Return? Every chance I can get! read more

The Burgers - The Burgers -THE BURGERS! When something works, don't change! Rick's has been serving amazing burgers for years and their fries are also amazing. Chicken, fish, it's a haven for Dodgers fans as well. The iced tea is always freshly made. It's a true staple of Echo Park and no one goes away hungry. The staff is always friendly and helpful and there is never a long wait and the food is always hot and fresh. They have a drive thru as well as sit down eating so whatever you want, you got it. Rick's is a go to spot for me and I go to it often. read more

This is definitely a late night burger joint but they also have indoor seating until 11pm. Classic backyard style burgers served hot in a drive thru has to be a staple LA restaurant. I love their milkshakes and burgers. The only issue is the quality of the bun but I digress. My BIL loves their chili cheese fries and felt they were better than at Tops. I highly recommend this burger joint when in the echo park area. It sure hits the spot after a Dodger game!!! read more

Rick's is a neighborhood staple. They are definitely not perfect but it's a affordable and solid meal. Food: my personal go-to is the breakfast plates. Toast, eggs and hashbrowns never tasted so good. 5/5 the grilled cheese is excellent and paired perfectly with some fries. 5/5 Parking lot is large making this diner easily accessible. Drive through is convenient as well. Beware they may close a little earlier than the advertised hours but that's pretty common in LA, just give them a call. read more

Best breakfast burrito for the price in my area. I'm gonna say it: it's better than the Lucky Boy breakfast burrito in Pasadena. Hands down.
