The food isn't what it used to be quite a few years back and I assume it's due to ownership change!? However, the service here was amazing and the food so-so. I love the location especially those traveling off 138, it's right off the beaten path and the inside just feels like home. Wish they'd sell that property behind it or fix it up - it's an eye sore but has such potential as it heard it did back when it was a hotel!? read more

This place is an awesome diner/cafe. The staff are all very personable and make great efforts to make you feel at home, like remembering your name and getting to know you a little bit. The food has never disappointed. It is always perfect, exactly how I've ordered it. My eggs are always perfectly over medium when I order breakfast, and lunch options have all been perfect for what they are. Pastrami is super good. I would recommend this place as your first go-to when you want some classic American Diner type food. Thanks y'all!! Jeremiah read more

Great food everytime and great service! Working my way through the menu but so far it's all great and large portion's.

We had dinner at Ricks last night. My wife had the avacado bacon cheese burger, the bacon was crumble and fell out of the burger when picked up,bacon strips weren't used, burger was dry not juicy. Breakfast was great that morning,cheese omlet and the bacon breakfast burito with hot salsa. So we will go back again to try other dishes , read more

The environment is always SUPER welcoming. We love to visit, staff is always EXCEPTIONALLY nice. Always willing to give their best service. The food is delicious. Servers and cooks make sure to accommodate to anything you may like or not like. Love this place read more

This place truly made me value and acknowledge just how lucky I am to live in a city like Los Angeles where we are so spoiled. I know the food at Ricks's is admired in this region of California. And it certainly wasn't bad, but it was nowhere near as good as the options we have in LA. We tried the Pastrami sandwich and fries as well as the Grilled chicken sandwich with onion rings. They both seemed fresh but also felt like they were missing. The sandwiches both came out somewhat cold, but the fries and onion rings were piping hot. I would assume they made the sandwiches first and deep fried the sides after, hence the dramatic temperature difference. The grilled chicken was bland (which I prefer to over-seasoned so that was fine). The pastrami seemed off to me, but the boyfriend seemed to enjoy it so that was good. If you're in the area, it might be one of the better options. We really wanted to try Grizzly Cafe, but it was a bit further away from us so we just went with Rick's in the end. read more

Tasty food, responsibly priced. Small comfortable atmosphere. Sometimes service is amazing other times you're kinda ignored.

Was driving down Hwy 138 and found Rick's. The food was great, I had the Cajun chicken sandwhich and some excellent potato salad. I would come back again. Highly recommended. read more

Burgers, club, and veggie wrap were delicious, and we shared the brownie Ala mode. A fun local find for sure.

Such a wonderful place to eat! Came to visit friends and they took us there. Food was amazing and so delicious! Service was outstanding and above the norm. Speedy service and everyone greets you! 100% recommend! read more

Great food here, so glad we found Rick's! We came for lunch and liked it so much we came back for breakfast the next day. There were four of us and we wanted to try some of everything. We had one of the Turkey sandwiches, can't remember which one but it was really good. Lots of meat, great flavor, toast was crispy. Great sandwich. The breakfast burrito was aight. Needed some sauce bad, but still had good flavors going on. The skillets are incredible. The angus beef patty in one of them was so delicious. I could have eaten just that. Enormous too. Their gravy is killer. Two of our party got biscuits and gravy at both visits. And one of them is bonafide Southern. That's a testimony! To top it off, the coffee is perfect and fresh. They even have flavored creamer! We will be visiting again as the service is great. I don't think they meet strangers here. We felt welcomed and comfortable like we'd been coming here forever. Super attentive, very friendly, and delicious eats. Thanks, Rick's! read more

I think this was our fourth time visiting Rick's Roadside Cafe. Tonight we stopped in with our son and grandkids. Our grandkids have been there with us twice before. The food is great, servers are friendly and can help make the right menu choice. I love the ambiance of a place where locals and other regulars come and have their own coffee mugs hanging on a peg ready to go when the visit. Tonight was kinda stressful as we had some car trouble and we were hungry. The staff as usual was friendly and of course the food was great. Thank you again! read more

This is the type of dinner you'd see on the Food Network. This unassuming place has a homey feeling from the second you walk in. The service is attentive and fast but also personable. The food itself is terrific. We had the Frisco and the chicken club. The Frisco is delicious, and the chicken club is rich and delicious without being too much. For the sides we got the coleslaw and onion rings. Neither disappointed. All in all, definitely recommend. read more

AREA: Okay so I'm not going to lie I was a little nervous coming here because down the street there was a house with a confederate flag. SERVICE: When I walked in I can't rave about the customer service more! There was a woman named SHAUNA that was sooooooo nice. I came in 30 mins before closing and you know there are employees that hate that but she embraced me with such kindness I had to YELP about it! Even though she's probably been there ALL day she had the biggest SMILE on her face with such BEAUTIFUL ENERGY. FACILITY: It does match the town feel with plenty wood. VERY CLEAN THO! Country music playing and chill environmen. FOOD: Finger licking goooooodddd. The food was fresh, warm and delicious! Come spend your money. You WILL NOT be disappointed. read more

This is a quaint cafe. On the wall behind the counter is an assortment of coffee cups that local customers use on their visits. Very personal! It's also the place to get your breakfast! My husband and I shared a Hungry man's breakfast. It came with 4 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 1 slice of ham, potatoes, and a side of biscuits and gravy! (I'm wishing that I would have taken a picture.) It was delicious! We couldn't finish it all. We ordered drinks and ate for around $20 (not including tip) read more

Gone Country! Way out here in the toolies is a beautiful little restaurant in the high desert off Highway 138 in Phelan. We ventured here from Covina California based on Yelp reviews. It certainly wasn't a letdown. I ordered the rib eye steak and eggs with crispy country fried potatoes. Biscuits and gravy out of this world. Everything came out perfect. The clientele is pretty much locals and some truckers that come through here. We were happy at the excellent cheerful service that they provided. Definitely recommend this place to those who are traveling through the area and I thank the nice waitress for the excellent service funny cute personalities read more

Went for breakfast plenty of food and what I would call perfect Country service. We define Lt will be back

We always love coming here. All workers interact with you in one way or another. Whether greeting you when you walk in, serving you coffee (never an empty mug) taking your order, bringing your food, refilling your glass, asking if everything is good, taking your empty plate away or bringing your bill, they are all interested in making sure you are taken care of. They are all, always smiling and the attention they pay to their customers is always noticed by us! The patty melt in sourdough and the Frisco burger are delicious! Maybe one day we will have our mug on their wall! read more

Great food and service. Neat spot, small but cozy. A good history of the business also.

Quickly seated to a table. I have ordered breakfast and lunch before and I was recommend the French toast and enchiladas

The food is spot on. Portions are how they're suppose to be and the service is awesome! You always feel like you're with family and if you're a traveler passing by you are treated like a visiting relative lol. The ambiance is always fun and energetic. Rick's is a must if you want good food, a fun atmosphere and a memorable tim read more

Excellent service and food. Staff is beautiful people. Prime rib for breakfast or Saturday dinners.

The people who work here make sure to treat you like a frequent customer whether it's your first time in or 100th. I am so glad that when I go there I'm greeted with warm welcomes from all the staff. The food is definitely a reason on its own to go back often. Comfort food and some healthy options. The environment is usually either upbeat or a bit more calm. When you visit, be sure to be in the present moment, no one needs to feel rushed to eat their food. If you want faster service, I suggest calling ahead to take the food home with you. :) the customers who done there go for the beautiful employees' quick witted charm and the comfort of diner food. If I could afford to go there every day, I would. I hope everyone else has great experiences like I do. read more

We try to get breakfast at Rick's once a week. Good home style food. Very friendly. A charming roadside cafe with a long history. In good weather we sit outside. read more

A pleasant and delicious experience. Ricks burger was outstanding. Nice vibe, cool staff. Will be back.

I love love love their Biscuits and Gravy all around! I'm running out the door and you can't write a longer review, but everything on the menu was AMAZING! Oh and the Berry Tart all a Mode I will blow you away read more

Yummy food , great staff and service . Definitely try if you're in the area . Breakfast and lunch is served.

We stopped by here for lunch and quickly realized their reputation was based on their breakfast. Portions were not huge, Taste was not Spectacular, Price was on the High Side. If in this area, try the Mountain Top Cafe right up the street. For basically the same money you get bigger portions and a higher quality taste. Ricks is ok, just not anything special enough to eat at twice. read more

Love this place! People food and ambiance! The service is prompt, the wait time to get a table is short! Keep up the good work

This place may not look like much, but I'm sure glad I stopped. It was getting close to closing time but we're greeted with a friendly hello, come on in. I had the Frisco burger and it was great!! My friend had the veggie burger also got a good review. She ask for some hot salsa, I didn't think it would be spicy! I was wrong. Great service really good food. If i pass by again will stop again. Thanks to all at Rick's roadside diner. read more

The second we walked in, we were warmly welcomed! Our Waitress Jessica is awesome! Very sweet and personable and made us feel very warm. She actually sat down with us to take our order and I for one find that VERY COOL! This coming from a woman, she's also very beautiful. Very pretty eyes and great smile. The ambiance is great and the food, AMAZING! I also love real flowers in the table and all the mugs they have on their wall are neat! I can say without a doubt we will DEFINITELY BE BACK! Ask for Jessica for your server, I promise you won't be disappointed! Sandra is also very sweet and nice! read more

Good variety, great service. Very popular with locals. A landmark spot with lots of history.

I highly recommend ricks café, it was very delicious felt like a home-cooked meal, real, cozy to, and the staff is very friendly.

Pretty unforgettable meal. The service was friendly and quick. My tuna melt was bland with no celery or pickles. Pepper helped but even the sour dough bread could not help it. The sour dough bread just tasted like plane white bread. read more

Had a nice breakfast here, I greatly enjoyed my omelette (I got Ortega chili's and cheese and added chorizo) and the hash browns, toast and coffee were all good too. But the staff and the patrons were all very friendly and nice (I am not from this immediate area) and that is worth leaving them this five star review. Thanks Rick's Roadside! read more

Love this place. They make everyone feel like regulars and the food is always amazing
