I would say this place was pretty good. I enjoyed my omelette and I enjoyed the unlimited coffee refills. Hearing from my other family members, they said their other food was a little subpar, but I can only speak for myself. read more

Not a Fan of the New Hours. Before COVID they were Open around 530am. Now the working class only have 1 place to get breakfast, sorry place Bojangles. read more

Found this place on Yelp since we were close by, we decided to try it. Everything was delicious! My husband got a Reuben Sandwich, which was big enough for two people. He liked that it had a good amount of sauerkraut on it, which helped add to the flavor. I ordered a cheeseburger--the meat was well cooked and well seasoned. It was hand pattied and tasted very fresh. The curly fries were super tasty. My favorite part was the banana pudding that was so good that I didn't get a picture of it. It tasted like grandma made it. read more

This is the second week in a row we ordered the 8 oz sirloin steak. Last week was good, but today-- not so much. One steak was half the size of the other and very thin. The larger steak was ordered "medium" and ended up "well done." The smaller sirloin was ordered "med. well" and ended up "well done." Very well done. I noticed the soft rolls were stale, but didn't realize they were moldy on the bottom. Probably won't return. read more

After a long rainy night in the Uwharie we were looking for a good breakfast on the way home and Rick's definitely delivered! I got two eggs, pecan waffle and a coffee, while my youngest got a Belgian waffle with Peaches and ended up getting their own plate of eggs after having some of mine! Service was friendly and fast and put some energy back in us for the trip home! read more

Would not recommend Was looking for home cooked meals Received buffet like food There was plenty in a order just not good quality read more

Always great steak and fish. However my 22 year old wishes they'd make the wraps the way the old owners did because she said hers barely had anything in the wrap and it was better when previous owners had it. Waitress was definitely a newbie. read more

Just about everyone I know has mentioned this place at one point or another, but I had never had the chance to eat here. Today I joined my family for lunch and was eager to see what the hype was about. Talk about crowded. It was pretty tough to find a place to park because the lot was slammed full, but even so there were a couple tables open so we didn't have to wait at all for a seat. I've heard a lot about how good the hamburgers were so naturally I got one - and it was....ok. Not bad, but not great. I feel like the party was a little dry, and I was told afterwards I should have gotten it with chili because that tends to make them more moist (I went with lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, and onion). I was actually more impressed with the chicken patty sandwich I ordered. Once again it was nothing fantastic, but it resembled something you would get in the cafeteria in middle or high school - so I think the nostalgic feeling was actually kinda cool. Anyway this place was nothing over the top, just a small town restaurant that has decent food and friendly service. If you ever pass through the town of Denton it wouldn't hurt to stop by and give it a try. read more

Rick's Restaurant - Hamburger and Chicken Patty Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denton, North Carolina

Went for Friday steak night- everything in this restaurant is either deep, battered and fried, or it's overcooked. Will not return.

Stopped in for lunch finally after driving by this place a hundred times. Rick's is a staple in the area and I've heard that when there is an emergency like a power outage, the workers make sure that Rick's has power because they will feed them for free. Anyway, I decided to try the hamburger steak I had heard was pretty good. The only thing was that it is served dry. When I picture hamburger steak, I expect brown gravy with mushroom or onions or something like that. They give you A1 sauce and that is better than nothing. They serve baked potatoes at lunch, but it wasn't quite as hot as you would expect, it barely melted the butter. The cole slaw was ok, mainly it was too wet and was swimming in liquid. My friends grilled cheese and hot chips was pretty good. The service is very friendly and quick. I will have to stop in again and try something else next time. read more

Excellent food, awesome staff and great prices. They offer a wide variety of food and even have special items such as fish, steak and tacos, on different nights of the week. If you want a good, juicy burger, they have you covered!! If you are in the area, definitely worth stopping by! read more

Rick's, Owner Kelly Smith has as good a breakfast as it comes. The gravy bisquits are wonderful. Nice portions of country ham or tenderloin. Hash browns a plenty, I don't think you'll leave hungry. Lunch is a burger grilled and made to your liking. Or plate lunches with Stew beef, or poppie seed chicken,hamburger steak, plus healthy choice of veggie's to go along with it.They have great Grilled Chicken salad that's a meal of it's own.On Tuesday's a real treat if you get there early for lunch. Kelly's mom makes a wonderful fried apple pie that you would think grand ma made when you was a young un. Thursday night's all you can eat white fish that always draws a crowd. Opens early for hunters and fisherman or just a cup of coffee and some grub as my son calls it.Stop in the wait staff is friendly and quick to get your belly full. read more

I enjoy ricks however I am taking a break from Rick but only because I eat there so much. Staff is friendly , and are very busy but they work hard to get your order to you. I enjoy breakfast lunch and supper from ricks several timex a week read more

This place has gone downhill over the past few years. The quality of the food and service has gone down, and the price has just gone up. I went in just days ago to support a local small business, and nobody (not even staff) was wearing a mask! I thought it was disappointing, so I immediately left. Why should I support a small business if they don't care about the well being of their customers and staff? Not to mention some of the nasty things I have heard about the owner. read more

Rick's is a local, country restaurant. It has very friendly service and a large menu. You can get breakfast all day; they also have daily specials. It's very popular and seems to always be busy. This was my first time eating here, and we would come back again. It's country cooking that you would expect at a restaurant like this. read more

Local restaurant in the town of Denton NC. I eat here while working in the area. Usually sit at the bar. Servers are friendly and easy to talk too. Food is about average, nothing to write home about but also nothing to really complain of either. I eat the hand pattied burgers on most occasions. The big R burger is my norm. I never leave hungry when eating this burger. If your ever in the BIG town of Denton, give Ricks a try. read more

this is 1 of my favorite places to eat. i live in faith,nc & go there several times a month on friday night for the ribeye steak plate special. the best i have found including around salisbury. not only good food, the waitresses are all good at their job. the owner is very nice & she always thanks you for your visit. tried the baby flounder special last night, ( monday ) & again the best i have found. will continue to drive the distance, for the food & service, it's well worth it ! read more

Was in the area for business and decided to stop in. When we walked in the door there was no indication that you can seat yourself. So we stood and waited and finally the staff told us to take a seat where ever. We sat down and someone came out with menus. I looked over the breakfast and then I saw fried chicken. Why yes I will. Our waitress returned with out drinks and we were in mid conversation and instead of saying are you ready to order, you have any questions she kind of huff and stares out in the distance as to say I don't have all day. My friend order a special of the day and I asked about how long the fried chicken would take to cook as some places tell you 20 mins or so. She drops the ugliest word ever it is frozen. Frozen fried chicken sounds so amazing, she said it was good "for frozen". Sigh give me a burger. Now while waiting we kept talking and my friend makes a comment about the tea, I honestly and truly believe it is powder ice tea double sigh. Our food arrives and my friend had the ham and two veggies and my burger and fries. Now my burger was easily 1/3 of a pound hand patty. It was good, needed some seasoning though. His ham like mentioned in another review was dry and just meh (the special wasn't special). Then we check out, oh my, chaos at the highest of levels. Staff were rushing around trying to figure out what was what. The cashier had stacks of checks everywhere in an almost organized chaotic manner. She was clearly frustrated and struggling to keep up. I think what got me was just the staff attitude from start to finish. Unwelcoming and almost like we were an inconvenience. read more

Baked potato wasn't done. Grilled flounder was overcooked. This was a really disappointing meal for us.

Great food. Great burgers for lunch the other day and now great flounder and baked potato today. Delicious! Great service from the servers for our takeout. Overall a great restaurant. read more

Small town diner. Omelette was nothing special. Home fries and biscuit were delicious. Coffee was fresh and hot and plentiful. Always breakfast for me. I will go again if ever back in town. Price was right. Servers were great. Very attentive. read more

This quaint little local eatery may not look like much on the outside (with the exception that the parking lot is full during lunch time. That's generally a pretty good indicator of a good eatery) and when you enter just make yourself at home and find a table. The servers will bring you a menu and silverware with a smile. The ambiance isn't much but a small town dinner. One thing that caught my eye when previewing the menu was Rick's Restaurant Promise to not cutting corners when it comes making their food. A nice touch. So I orderd the special (roast beef) and 3 sides of sliced tomatoes, shoepeg corn and green beans. While waiting I just watched the locals interact with each other and the staff greeting the locals by name. Didn't have to wait long for the meal to arrive. The food was fresh, portions were good and the staff was prompt and courteous. The roast beef was tender, vegetables were perfectly cooked and seasoned well. My drink never reached below 1/2 full before being asked if I wanted a refill (appropriate for local diner). The staff checked back to insure everything was good, and flowed up if I wanted any desert after the meal. Being a true foodie, I wouldn't feel a review was complete without also experiencing a little desert as well. LOL Based on the recommendation of my server, I got the blueberry sweet potatoe cobbler. A unique crumbled crust cobbler with a great flavor. It was also the special of the day. Overall this place is a great place to stop in for some local diner fare. I recommend it. read more

We live one town over and heard The Village in Denton was a good place to eat. So we decided to check it out. It was Sunday and didn't realize it was closed So we drove around and landed at Rick's Restaurant. It was about 2PM. The place was packed. Everybody was a hugging and a kissin and asking about how their momma was. Nice little country restaurant. Me and wifey are Rueben Sandwich Aficionados. So we ordered one and split it. We weren't disappointed . It was really good! It was on a Thick Marble Rye Bread. It only came with Potatoes Chips. And it was pricey at $9.00. Highly recommend it. Our waitress was very nice. We compare all Rueben Sandwiches to what we consider the Gold Standard. Served at The Village Grill in Lexington. Hands down The Best! You get a side and a salad for $8.50. Def check out Ricks Restaurant if you are nearby. We will return. read more

The shrimp was over cooked and the hush puppys were over cooked they looked black. My plate looked like a dog went to the bathroom on my plate. I was so disappointed in this place. Now I know why I don't eat there. They need to check the plates before they serve it to their customers. And I've had friends say the same thing. They could not eat theirs either. The shrimp are breaded salad shrimp . Not even big enough to eat. The cook needs to be taught how to cook. Denton is small and they have only one good restaurant and that's Elizabeth's Pizza. read more

This is a wonderful place to eat! The food is always good and the waitresses are always very friendly!

I had the ham and 2 sides. The ham was way overcooked and was to salty. The wife had the chicken and 2 sides. The chicken was overdone as well. Not a happy experience. Both of us left food behind as we could not eat it. read more

Best grilled chicken salad around. And if you are lucky enough on Tuesdays, you can grab the absolute best fried apple pie!

Was served cold food after ordering French toast. Wiated 20 minutes after my husband got his plate. Waitress claimed they FORGOT my dish and it was laying in a warmer. Told cashier who was nasty, then said it won't happen again. Very disappointed with the service and rudeness!!!!! Rate it a zero!!!!! read more

I give it two stars since the Breakfast is the only meal worth coming for. Lunch and Dinner are a bust. The last time we chanced it we ended up with cold food. The poor waitress had to take it back an have the cook heat it in the microwave. This was after we had waited almost 45 minutes for our food in the first place. When the waitress brought our food back it was STILL ice cold. She felt so bad. The owner was even there walking around and knew the kitchen was screwing up and instead of fixing it he just ignored it. We never went back. We used to go for breakfast every once in a while but since this latest debacle we never went back at all and don't plan to ever go back. I would rather eat Bojangles. read more

A great family restaurant...good food, good prices, great service. Nothing fancy, just good home cooking.
