have been coming here for YEARS, and have never had a bad experience! Haly is one of the best souls i’ve ever met, but all the staff and nice and friendly people to be around!

So, I've read through the good and the bad reviews. Taking away stars because a fight broke out, or because there are kids at a family restaurant is just silly! The nachos and the drinks were delicious! Service by bartender Jennifer was excellent! For a couple just going to eat, have a different atmosphere in a locally dull area, and have a couple of drinks, the experience was perfect. We had a really nice time.

I’ve been going here in July ‘24, and from the first time I came in, Haly has been the GOAT! She’s funny, good with people, always remembers me and my normal orders. The food is great, a fun environment and most of the staff is simply a hoot. I recommend my friends and coworkers here frequently, and myself a usually a fly on the wall when there’s an Astros game on!

The wait staff (Nicole) and the bartender (Hailey) did a great job . Was a busy night but they all stayed on top of our orders , very nice and made sure everything was to our liking . Did not see anyone leave disappointed , had a great time .

Ok great place all the way! Cory Michael was on stage and what a talented man he is! Special guest Kenny Cooper was in the house and drummer Chad Harmon. Try the Nachos and I have included many pictures to show you what to expect. Hard to believe 3 weeks ago this place was 9 feet under water. Great recovery.

GREAT EVERYTHING!! THIS PLACE ROCKS! Waiter: Dillon. THANK YOU DILLON! Arrived after dark and after a long day of driving. Never been here before. Parking lot was flat, paved with plenty of spaces. Walked in and immediately greeted by Dillon, given a table and menus and drink order taken in less than 1 minute! Everyone likes fast service, but I understand it's not always possible. Nevertheless, this was lightening fast. I wish I had asked the bartender's name. She made a great Long Island and a Dirty Martini. Done well and she was a crack up! We aren't southerners, but we are foodies. Dillon was gracious enough to explain the menu items like this: "My grandpa always made THE BEST gumbo, but the gumbo here is handmade and REALLY GOOD." How do you resist food described like that?? We ordered (and I would highly recommend any of these): Fried Green Tomatoes (house-made) Boudain Balls (house-made) Gumbo (house-made) Cajun Chicken & Onions in Sauce (house-made) I know I've gone on about this place, but you won't be disappointed. Thanks to all the staff for an excellent experience.

Pretty nice place with really great food!! We came here after hearing about it from my wife's cousin. The menu has plenty of really good looking dishes and appetizers to choose from! They do have kids menus, but you have to ask as it's not on their menu sheet. I ordered the Big Dixie , a big chicken fried chicken breast in Buffalo sauce with Bleu cheese crumbles and Lettuce and tomatoes with a side of their beer cheese fries. My wife ordered their BLT and a side of the beer cheese fries. We got our son the kids chicken strips and fries with BBQ sauce dip. They both had Cokes for their drinks, while I had Dos Equis draft. My Big Dixie buffalo chicken sandwich was really good as were the Beer cheese fries!! My wife said her BLT and beer cheese fries were delicious also. Our boy said he really liked his chicken strips and BBQ dipping sauce. The place has a really nice ambience and there are quite a few TV screens on the walls for sports etc... Our waitress came by to check on us a few times to make sure we were doing ok. We agreed we wouldn't mind coming back in for lunch again sometime. There wasn't a very big crowd in there at the time either!

Haly is amazing!!! Every time I come in she always has a smile on her face and working like crazy. I love how she knows exactly what we want before we sit down. She’s the bartender that makes you feel like home. Everyone at Riks is awesome!
