“We had the pleasure of meeting the general manager yesterday, who overheard our conversation about how much we enjoyed our food. He came over to express his appreciation for our visit and stated that he was happy we enjoyed our meal. He was very kind, and our waitress provided exceptional service. The establishment was friendly and professional. As a resident of Huntsville, we visited Florence to see the Helen Keller home and the Frank Lloyd Wright Museum. BBB was the icing on the cake - a delightful experience. This was our second time in Florence, and we will most definitely return.“

“We were passing through Florence on our way back to Mississippi and stopped there to eat. Nice family atmosphere and very clean. We ordered the two piece catfish plate and had enough left for fish sandwiches the next day. The food was awesome! Catfish was crispy on the outside and flaky inside. The hush puppies were light and crispy. The slaw was the best ever. Delicious well prepared meal. We hope to visit again.“

“I had the one meat, two side plate, and the food was good. The service is usually good. In this case, the service was as good.Personally I like locally owned bbq places. But, for 'corporate' bbq, I would highly recommend Rick's to anyone that likes good bbq, but you haven't, nor do you want to take the time, to locate a local bbq joint.“
