This is a good family restaurant. The menu has a varied selection that has something for everyone. I've taken my mother here and my children, and all find something they want to order. The food quality is very good, and the prices are reasonable. I usually order the Eggs Benedict with the stuffed hash browns. Delish! The service is excellent. They've done a good job with the covid protocols, while still maintaining the same great service. I've been going to this location for over 15 years. You won't be disappointed. read more

Loved the ambiance, the food and the service! I went to Ricky's with a couple of girlfriends for a brunch, and came out super satisfied. Had ordered their Swiss sandwich along with some sweet potato fries. It tasted on the spot! Aside from that I had one of the best milkshakes I had thus far in life. They probably dumped the whole vanilla ice cream jar with cream in it. Whatever it was, was wholesome and yes rich as just how the doctor did not recommend it. Too bad I don't live in Calgary anymore, but I will definitely miss their milkshake all the way!!! Definitely check this place out for some quality soul food. The staff was really friendly, a huge bonus :) read more

Ricky's All Day Grill - Mushroom and Cheese Omelette with stuffed Hash Browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

See all

The waitress seemed to exude negative vibes from the moment I arrived with my two daughters. I think she thought I was hitting on her, but I definitely WAS NOT. She arrived at our table in the middle of a conversation I was having with my daughter and when I said something about my daughter's age, she gave a look like she thought I was asking HER her age. A pissy, surprised, annoyed look. Geez, lady, let me have some time with my kids and don't think every word uttered is about you! Fine, we gave her our orders, and then we waited ... and waited ... and waited ... and ... well, you get it. When the food came, my daughter's waffles had no whipped cream, despite the menu CLEARLY describing whipped cream. So my daughter (who is 7) asked about the whipped cream. The waitress responded as though it was a special request (not politely or respectfully) and the whipped cream *never came anyway*. Second, I hate the chunks of potato and onion mess they serve at Ricky's, so I asked the waitress for shoestring potatoes instead, since I really like the way Ricky's makes those. She forgot and, when my (cold) potatoes arrived, they were the kind I don't like to eat. She didn't write down our order, and I guess her memory isn't quite what she thinks it is, since she screwed up both orders. It wasn't just us, by the way: I heard her apologizing to other customers for forgetting things they asked for as well. So, as a small piece of advice to Ms. Take-Everything-Personally-and-Forget-Everybody's-Order: Maintain a pad of paper. Learn to write if you have to. Stop screwing up our orders, please. And it's NOT all about YOU. Food was not very good, either: My pancakes were soggy. Eggs overcooked. Bacon, inexplicably, was burnt on the tips and greasy/borderline uncooked in the middle. How is that even possible without laser beams and poison gas??? The presentation of my plate was bad: It looked as though they ran out of large plates, so the (overcooked) eggs were thrown on top of everything. The (unasked-for) potatoes were overflowing the plate and the toast was stacked up ridiculously high. I couldn't even see the sausages and bacon thanks to the layering of food overtop. The first bite is taken with the eye ... and all I saw was a vertical stack on a smallish plate. Wow. I still marvel that I PAID for all this. After we ate as much as we could, we waited ... and waited ... and ... well, you know, for the bill. Finally, we just went to the front and she came, all flustered and quiet to print out and present the bill. We walked across the parking to lot to the DQ for dessert, because I was damned if I would spend an extra cent in this poor excuse for a restaurant. I don't want ALL the blame placed on our waitress: She looked very busy and more than a little overwhelmed by the number of people. I, instead, blame the management of this sham for not training staff properly, not staffing it sufficiently, and hiring marginal personalities as the public-facing representatives of your inadequate and underachieving mediocrity. Shame on the lot of you. You won't see us back again. read more

You know I'm going to like this Ricky's because it's in one of my favourite places in the city: The Country Hills Plaza. What is it with me and this plaza eh?!?!? I dunno, I just LOVE it. Ricky's is a cute joint to head over to for a meal. Unlike most people, I like going to Ricky's for a late evening snack, rather than for breakfast. I don't love their breakfast & brunch, but I do love their grilled cheese sandwich. I usually head over late at night, at like 8 or so, and enjoy their grilled cheese, fries, and a side of cardiac arrest. I ask for the grilled cheese to be prepared on whole wheat bread (it makes it feel a smigen healthier) and I ask for vinegar so I can sprinkle that on my fries along with ketchup. SO. GOOD. If you're in the mood for some soul food, head over to Ricky's and order the grilled cheese with fries. That break up wont feel so bad, the world wont feel so cold, and the week wont seem so dreadful. I promise. read more

I went to Ricky's for lunch and I had an 8oz steak with savoury potato wedges, and a Cesar salad. Sounds like a good lunch right? WRONG! First of all it took forever to make our food, then when it finally arrived it turned out my steak was under cooked (I couldn't even chew it) and the lettuce in my salad was turning brown. I called my waitress over which she agreed that my steak was under cooked, and took my plate. She returned a few moments later with my bill telling me all she could do was give me a staff discount (40% off) basically I spent $15 on a few potato wedges and a cup of coffee. This restaurant doesn't even deserve the 1 star I gave it. Oh and should I mention that some of the employees are extremely rude! read more

The serving staff at this location are so good, and have been there for a very long time. They are very friendly, and great with kids. There's always something on the menu for anybody and for this type of restaurant, the food s good. The only issue we have had is that some days they do get short staffed in the kitchen and the wait times can be way too long. Yesterday we waited 40 minutes for our food. read more

My wife and I stopped in here after our Saturday morning shopping trip. Got off to a rocky start I ordered eggs bennie soft. When they came they were hard as rock. Server took them back and the next plate the eggs were done the way I had requested. I just wish they wouldn't use a mix for their Hollindase read more

This restaurant has a lovely staff, and the standard Ricky's menu which is always great. We have never had a bad meal in this restaurant, and we have been coming here for years. There was one time we had a small mistake on one of our meals, and it was corrected immediately with a smile. Highly recommended for a hangover brunch. read more

Poor service and their pasta alfredo's don't have taste but their rib eye steak sandwich is really good.

Hours arent the greatest like other restaurants. Im always the only table occupied there .. even on a friday night. i have done dinner and lunch here. I have seen it busy on sundays while driving buy. Waitresses are decent , but ive had several drinks spilled and plates dropped.. Only eat here once every few years. read more

Great service. Typically a busy place but staff is friendly. Food is consistently good

Slow server waited 20 min for second coke like she was waiting for us to leave instead of seeing us then wants a tip what a joke

Bad experience. Eating a cheese burger when I noticed that I was eating green mold. Didn't have to pay but still not impressed.

I am sitting here waiting for a soup and sandwich. The experience so far. Walk in the door very polite friendly young hostess. Gets me seated and drinks right away. Excellent! Then it drops. Waitress took 14 minutes to make an appearance. When she asked if I was ready to order, I let her know yes for about 10 minutes now. Her response, I have a lot of tables. From what I can see she has maybe 6. The mushroom soups has a very floured taste. She has "swung" by once and as passing asks if food is ok". My water and Ice tea have been empty for 15 mins and I have been done my food for 5 and no sign of the waitress. I would use her name but she did not even welcome me let alone introduce herself. Finally she comes with my bill and the debit and asks how was everything. I said okay. She asked if the soup was all right and I let her know that it tastes like baking flour. She twists her face and says really? i will let them know. Again no apology. The Sandwich was good. The chocolate cream pie had been calling out to me but I did not want to waste another 20-30 mins for dessert. Not that I was asked if I wanted dessert. The good thing for me is it saved me money as the lack of service took my tip percentage down to 0% Not at all impressed to say the least. Should have gone to McDonalds 1/2 the price and same value but better service. read more

This is my go to breakfast place! I have always had good service here. These people understand the nuances of bacon, the subtleties of French toast and the coffee is really good. I have been coming here for years and will continue to do so. read more

1. We went into the diner and immediately received attitude from the waitress when my grandmother asked for a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Waitress was curt IMMEDIATELY. 2. My grandmother said the coffee tasted old. VERY VERY VERY politely asked for a fresh cup. At this point the waitress, I kid you not, no exaggerations, started SCREAMING and CHASTISING my grandmother for asking for a fresh pot. As my grandmother is a regular there, apparently she asks for this every time. I understand this could be frustrating for a server to always have to get a fresh cup, but we were 1 of 2 tables in the establishment, and really- how hard is it to get a new cup of coffee? I don't care if she asks every time to scream at a customer, and chastise anyone, let alone an 80 year old woman that can barely walk is abhorrent. This shows zero respect or decency. 3. My grandmother very calmly and politely asked the waitress to stop screaming at her. Waitress continues to scream at my grandmother that she's not screaming. She walks away. 4. I walk over to the waitress very calmly and immediately apologize for her if she's frustrated with my grandmother, and explain that my grandmother is always particular about a cup of joe being fresh. I apologize if we offended her but I explained gently that it is not okay to scream at my grandmother. She's old, she's a customer. I was cut off by the waitress and she decided to scream at me in return. I am a very well educated individual, that has worked with intense people and usually spend my days playing mediator. I know how to speak calmly to difficult people. I have been a waitress, a retail cashier, worked in a grocery store for years prior to finishing my masters. I get its tough- this was not warranted in any fashion, and even if asking for new coffee was unreasonable, screaming and chastising anyone is NEVER okay. It's humiliating, its grossly disrespectful, and its downright abusive. 5. We never received an apology. We were over charged for our meal. She came at the end of the meal, did not offer to get me a refill until we were done our meal (would've been nice while eating my meal). Worst dining experience I have literally had in my entire life. I am beyond furious. read more

Service was slow, could use another server. Would give a half star if possible. Food could be a little better and was not even offered refill or asked how the food was. read more
