On 04/21/2024 my boyfriend, his son, and myself stopped for a late lunch at Rick's on the way home from Louisiana. There were only a couple of families in the restaurant however, when asked to seat ourselves, every booth was dirty. When we got there I had to run to the restroom. There was urine all over the toilet seat. The trashcan was full and had bloody toilet tissue in it. The soap dispenser in the restroom did not work. Instead, they had 2 Soft-Soap bottles that had run out of soap that they filled with water halfway. Both soap dispensers outside of the restrooms were out of batteries. We ordered bacon wrapped shrimp as an appetizer. Each of us ate 2. For lunch, my boyfriend's son ordered a fried shrimp salad, and him and I each ordered the 14 oz ribeye steaks which were priced at 27.99. I ordered mine rare and he ordered his bleu. The waitress did not know what this meant. She went back to the kitchen to advise them of our order. The kitchen staff said they would not cook his steak bleu because that's how you get salmonella. This is not a naturally occurring bacteria in beef. My boyfriend changed his order to rare. These dishes came with a side salad. The salad was in a VERY small sauce bowl and contained a small amount of iceberg lettuce, 2 pieces of tomato, and some shredded cheese. The steaks we received were incredibly poor quality. Not even half an inch thick, at least a third of the piece of meat was a huge chunk of fat, no where near 14 ounces even before cooking, and both were cooked well done. They clearly were skirt steaks and not ribeyes to top it off. If we didn't have a time limit for lunch we would not have even accepted the meal and taken our business elsewhere. In hindsight, we should have. All three of us ended up with food poisoning and have been sick for the past two days. I do not recommend this establishment to anyone passing through or living in this town. Not worth the money and definitely not worth the foodborne illness that came with it.
