Amazing flavor. Don’t go here for BBQ, go there for that amazing New Orleans cooking! I had the eggs Benedict with grits and étouffée, simply prefect. My husband had the diners dive in sampler and it was good but pricey for the portions he received. I would still recommend. If they happen to have the bread pudding, get it!!!

I really enjoyed the DDD Sampler. The soft shell crab had a good flavor but I would have like tomatoes etc on it. I personally didn’t like the hush puppies or the alligator because there was way too much pepper for me. There are picnic tables under a big shade tree with a nice mural to look at.

Great food (despite high prices). Cajun-themed options, plus all day breakfast and sky-high (tall) tricked out burgers with all the fixins! They don’t serve tap water, so when you ask for “just water” be prepared to shell out over two bucks. Food is good enough, I’ll probably go back.

Cajun comfort food found right here at Rick’s! As seen on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, you’ll have the taste of Louisiana right here at Frankfort and the promise of a very ‘divey’ diner with quirky decor. They do specials and if you follow them on Facebook they will post updates on pastries they will be making for the day. They do sell apparel and bottled up local honey. They buy all their meats from coastal states and you’ll find food products are non GMO and real butter. Right now during Covid, two tables are open for dine in but they do offer outdoor seating weather permitting and curbside pick up.
Their take on a crawfish pie that’s a handheld pocket size was great! Creamy mashed potatoes is a must try!

I read about a Rick’s a few years ago now, before I moved to Kentucky, and added it to my “must go” list. My husband and I drove past it a few times over our first year here without even recognizing it, it’s so tiny!
This year, we decided to stop in for lunch and whooo… yup.. it’s tiny! If it hadn’t been raining we would have definitely opted to eat outside because it’s really “cozy” inside. Like, get to know everyone in the joint cozy…
The food here is a tad on the pricey side but it’s all cooked from scratch by Rick himself. I ordered the White Light Burger and my Husband got all adventurous… as he does… and ordered the Alligator Po’Boy. We both got a side of Hush Puppies.
Now, I’m not one for runny eggs… like, really… I’m grossed out by them… but, I took a chance with the White Light Burger and was not only not put off by it.. I was impressed. The seasoning on the burger was impactful without being overly intense… and the runny eggs yolk oozed out all over everything and mingled with the seasoning and made an excellent dipping sauce for the delicious, hand-made hush puppies! My husband was delighted with his Alligator Po’Boy and offered me a bite. And despite being apprehensive… it was damn good!
Now, my husband and I aren’t terribly comfortable with really tight spaces, so that was the one downside for me. But, I can see how, if you were to frequent this establishment, you would get to know everyone… it’s really kind of an intimate experience. Rick was in a fine mood and came out to make sure everyone was enjoying the food.. and his staff were all friendly and responsive. All in all… an experience I’d repeat.

Loved it! Rick was there. Greeted everyone and made sure everyone was happy with their food. The food was delicious. We got a sampler platter so we could try a variety and it was all fantastic

Sat outside due to road construction in front of business. Service was good & fast. Had the oyster po boy. Was okay, on the small side for $17.95. Construction has a major impact on the restaurant & continues for months making it almost inaccessible.

Wow! Truly an amazing menu. Don’t let the outside appearance fool you, once inside you’ll fall in love! This is a GREAT place to eat. Highly recommended.

This is a great Dive! Find cooked fresh before your eyes by owner and his daughter is the waitress. Seating limited in cooler weather. Their breakfast was great as well as conversation with the owner!

One of the finest eating establishments in all of Frankfort, Rick’s ALWAYS has incredible, hot, fresh food. There isn’t a bad thing on the menu. You get to engage with the owner of the establishment while you wait for your food to be prepared fresh. I take people often. Get the catfish sandwich, an ale-8 in a bottle and finish the meal off with the beignets. You’re welcome.
