My wife and have been to Rik’s twice. It’s not exactly around the corner so a return visit is good news.
We returned because the food is interesting, the bar had Laphroiag, and a good draft selection. Also, the staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and the partner on site was chatty.
We had one of the specials, a chicken sandwich which as best I recall was composed of: beer can can chicken breast, bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and Mac & cheese all between a burger bun. Naturally, I was suspicious that this was more than a mouthful. The bartender, we sat at the bar, confirmed so I knife and forked it. Carolyn got the Mac on the side and wen for the big bite.
Delicious.
We had desert, a red velvet cake, which was quite nice. While we like a little desert, we rarely finish one even though we share. The left over part we brought home.
For good food, visit Rik’s
By far not only the best food I have had in a long time but also the best service!! We were greeted with a warm welcome and treated like family.
The food was meticulously seasoned and purposefully constructed! The bison burger and mahi tacos were equally outstanding!! Without even requesting, our sweet server, (Rick) took it upon himself to split our plates, so we could share with ease.
To top off our experience, Rik (the owner himself) came over to check on our experience. Friendly, personable and professional.
We WILL be back again!!
We eat at Riks a couple times a year and it NEVER disappoints! Everything we have ever had has been excellent. Chef Arik is so talented and all of the staff are on point! Kelsie was our waitress this past week and she went above and beyond to take great care of us �! Love this place and the people working there! Keep up the amazing work!!
OMG! First time here based on Trip Advisor’s #1 rating. Fantastic hostess, great bar/server staff, great friendly interaction between staff members and with their customers. Food was perfectly cooked, well presented and absolutely fresh and delicious. We had the scallop special and the lamb burger. Can’t say enough! �
I do enjoy dining at Riks .. great servers .. food selections right on top of anyone’s list .. never had one bad meal there ..and then to have management come over to everyone’s table to chat .. hoping one day to see Riks on Diners Drive Ins and Dives. !!
Fantastic food and service. Don’t let the location fool you...from appetizers to dessert (and drinks) this place delivers flavor in a relaxed atmosphere.
Stopped in today and got the Bison Burger. I must say, that is one tasty burger! My girlfriend got the French dip and like everything else ever ordered, it set the standard. This place never disappoints no matter what section of the menu we order from. Keep the great food and good times coming!
Came to Rik's on the recommendation of the owners of the Elmwood Farm B&B. Glad we did.
Everyone on staff were friendly and eager to serve, ensuring a pleasant experience.
Great cocktail selection - I had the Dirty Local martini. Delicious.
We split the Salmon Carpaccio. Wonderful balance of flavors, and yes that includes the arugula and spiced pita chips.
Then I ordered the Epic Crab Grilled cheese, truly an epic sandwich. Wife had the Blackened Mahi Tacos, also delicious.
Desserts were tempting and we gave in to said temptation with the peanut butter cake.
Wonderful meal.
Yes, gem of a place in a strip shopping area. Never judge a book by it's cover, or location in this case.
What an amazing lunch we had at Riki’s cafe! The service was absolutely outstanding and the food was even better! When you walk into the restaurant you just know your meal is going to be great. Thank you Rik’s for excellent service and amazing food!
Hello all! Today we have TWO wonderful Specials! Firstly, on the upper, we have a Shrimp and Chorizo Stuffed Filet over Mash and Fried Brussels with a Cheese Sauce, Crispy Tortillas, and Mango Salsa! Secondly, on the lower right, we have a Petite Filet with a Crab and Orange Roughy Cake with a Lemon Cream over Jasmine Rice and Sautéed Brussels! Cheers!
Oh Wow! Hubby and I had a great meal!
I had the Ariks crab cake grilled cheese with sweet potato fries (with apple butter (whhhhat?!)) Omg that was so good! I had never thought of apple butter as a dipping sauce! I also had an apple cider Manhattan (that was super good too!)
Hubby had the Reuben with Sourdough instead of marble Rye (I had a bite of it too!) Omg that was delicious!
Our server (Brian...I'm pretty sure) super nice and knowledgeable.
The only thing I thought was a bit weird was when I was waiting for the bathroom (the person who came out was a man, who worked there). That's kind of weird.
Overall great time tho! We will be back!
Great restaurant. It was a pleasant surprise. Located in a strip mall. The front of the building is pretty plain. Inside is well done with a very large bar. Great selection of beers and wine. Great menu selections. I tried the braised beef ribs. They were very good. Service was also very friendly and good. I would definitely recommend this place.
Traveling through and we used Google reviews to give this place a try. WOW...this place has great...great food and awesome service. Even the owner Rik is great and had some great conversations about running (which my oldest interested in).
I had a Italian Club sandwich (in pic) which had a little kick and was AMAZING along with house fries...mmmmm!! Highly recommend!!
Thank you all and we hope to make this one of our stops on our trips to WV.
I love Rik’s Cafe! It’s really nice to frequent a restaurant where the waitstaff are always smiling and personable and the food is tasty! I just recently moved to Hagerstown and I’m enjoying trying new places to eat, and Rik’s is becoming a regular go-to! The menu is ample with lots of assorted selections and the food tastes so fresh! It feels like a lot of love and care is put into every dish! My friend and I had the Black Bean burger with hand-cut fries and it was delicious! I had the Cobb Salad prior and it was awesome! I plan on eating my way through the menu because everything looks so good! 🤩
