This was our first visit to Rick's and we're definitely coming back. Everything about this restaurant is amazing, from the excellent friendly service, to the exquisitely prepared food and libations.

EVERYTHING! The staff is wonderful! The food!!! OMG!!! We all loved the food so much that we kept sharing with each other so that we could taste the different entrees. I had the blackened ahi, she had the impossible burger, he had the blackened salmon. The beer was COLD and came from a local brewery. Delicious. I ended our dinner with a cup of Cuban coffee. We loved it so much that we're going back for brunch before we leave town. Don't miss this gem in Palm Springs. Right across from Margaritaville Resort.

A spanteous trip into Palm Springs for the weekend and our first stop, Rick's Restaurant. We have eaten at Rick before (when they were located next to Days Inn) we were surprised when we found out they had moved (but only 2 blocks down). I had the avocado omelet which was great! Yes, it's simple but so good. It was served hot, fresh, filled with cheese and topped with a generous portion of avocado. My wife had the hash and eggs. Let me just say, she is picky as heck about her hash. We've been to places that served us canned hash but not here, it was GOOD! She said it tastes homemade, the flavor was on point and she really wanted to go back the next day but we left early in the morning to beat traffic. The service, OUTSTANDING thanks to Marie H. The best waitress we've had since we've been coming to Ricks. She was so friendly, very attentive, our cups were always full. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly, the atmosphere was laid back, they had music playing and they made you feel welcome. We will always return to Ricks

Fun place, great service, good food --large shareable portions. Excellent cinnamon rolls!!! We found Rick's when our intended destination was closed.

They are no longer in their original spot on the Days Inn parking lot. They are only at their second location just a bit past Billy Reeds at the light.. Still the Best. Great service, friendly staff. . A .Just place for us to eat, Love Ricks.

It's a great diner with great food, great service, great prices. I'll be back for more!

We came here for brunch with a big group and were immediately seated. The staff was so friendly and offered to give us individual checks. The menu is huge and they have separate breakfast and lunch menus. The cinnamon roll was my favorite and would highly recommend

What a fun diner to eat across the street from Margaritaville Resorts. The food portions were plentiful and delicious. We had the Ahi Tuna Salad and the Chicken Honey Wrap and the salad was enough for 2 portions. The service we got from Jay was great! He's so friendly with fun stories and had great suggestions for the food and cocktails. I felt like a fruit quencher and got a watermelon vodka drink. I was a little disappointed that it didn't taste like watermelon at all, although it was tasty in itself. The ambiance was family friendly with a lot of fun & interesting wall art. Would've been 5 stars but for the drink. Maybe other drinks were on point so I would still recommend Rick's!
