Ok little diner. Service was great but overall slow. Our dinner took over 1.5 hours to complete. Prime rib was ok but the garlic mashed potatoes seemed like they came from a box. BBQ shrimp was great, bit was more of a spiced scampi than barbeque.

I ordered shrimp & sausage gumbo. There was zero shrimp in the gumbo. I also ordered a house salad. It was brown lettuce with 3 pitiful pieces of onion so thin it wasn’t edible. This is a Saturday night order to go. We’ve always enjoyed Rick’s Crossroads food. We pay a premium price for premium food but instead we were served the junk left over in the kitchen. We will not be back.

I’ve been to this place three times this week, and I’ve noticed inconsistency in their service. I was the only person standing at the front door waiting to be approached, but no one said anything. When a couple came in, they greeted them and told them they’d be right with them, as if I wasn’t there. I let that go. I waited over 20 minutes for my lasagna it was cold and the bread was cold and not toasted. I was told my order was $7.65– I gave a $10 bill and received $2 back. I let that go because she seemed unsure about having the correct change. (I don’t know, and that’s probably what I would’ve left anyway.) The lasagna is decent when made correctly, but I wouldn’t buy the adult entree because it’s the same size as the kids’ for a much cheaper price. The adult lasagna is about $18, and the kids’ is $7.65. They give two garlic breads for both. They seem to pick and choose who they want to give good service to. I won’t be returning.

Y’all it’s the best food around. Known for the best rib eye in state of Alabama. The staff is wonderful

We have been eating here for several years now and love the place. I’ve never had a bad dish and the staff is always friendly. I recommend the steak, catfish, cajun alfredo, and their cajun shrimp. Best in town. If you haven’t been here, come try it out.

I hate to give a bad review when the food was good. But….the cigarette smell inside is horrible we tried to figure why is it so strong. Is it the ventilation or maybe the employees smoke and it’s in their clothes. Maybe the walls need to be wiped down. It’s so bad we probably won’t come back. This was the second time we have been in 6 months. We would love to come more often because it is convenient location but I don’t want to smell cigarettes while I’m eating. Hopefully this helps

Rick’s has always been a favorite of mine when in the Lincoln area; I was truly surprised I had not done a review for them before. It is about what you would expect out of a Cajun-type place; it’s atmosphere definitely stands out! The service is always good; food is served fast and hot and the staff is very friendly. We shared an order of fried pickles; always a favorite! I had the Tiger Mahi-mahi; it was as awesome as ever. I do remember the portions being a little bigger on my last visit, but as I couldn’t finish all I had, it was more than enough. Well prepared pasta, topped with a generous portion of cajun seasoned mahi, with grilled shrimp, and all covered with a delicious cajun cream sauce. Add the garlic bread, and it is a meal fit for a king! I also had the bread pudding, which was very good as well. The prices are a little steep, but to me, the food is well worth it. I’ll definitely be back next time we’re through the area.

I spotted this place up on the hill and turned around to come back and give it a whirl. Very cool rustic atmosphere, I was seated promptly even during lunch and my hostess and waitress were friendly. My drink order was taken and my sweet tea was brought quickly. The tea had a decent tea flavor, but could have been a little stronger. I ordered the red beans and rice that came with bread and smoked sausage. All I can say is WOW, it was delicious and they brought A LOT, I surely didn’t leave hungry. The red beans and rice had plenty of salt and a great spicy flavor, but not enough to harm your taste buds if your sensitive to spicy things. I also tried Rick’s special hot sauce which was excellent also. I give this place two thumbs up. Stop in and give them a try if your around.

Has got to be one of the crappiest places I’ve been to in a while.. They managed to turn dinner into a small educational experience, mostly about what not to do.
TLDR: wrong order, rubber shrimp, fake Cajun flavor, and a burger that violated several laws of nature. Truly an unforgettable experience, just not in the way they were probably aiming for.
First off, I specifically asked for the Cajun CHICKEN Alfredo.. But was charged for, and given (as part of a to-go order) SHRIMP Alfredo. It came with 5 tiny, extremely overcooked shrimp. Note to the incompetent “cook” – When you over cook shrimp, they become rubbery, like biting into balloons. Furthermore, if you’re cooking a to-go order, they should be taken to the brink of being “done”, because they are going to be sitting in a hot sauce, inside of a container.. CONTINUING TO COOK! So you cook them just before they are “perfectly” done, so by the time the person gets to eat, they are cooked the proper temp. This is not an advanced culinary trick, it’s common sense.
Someone needs to inform the owner about the difference between SPICY and SPICED; The description of the Cajun Alfredo dishes on the menu says “Spicy.” It’s 100% not “Spicy.” It wasn’t even mildly threatening.. If “bland but optimistic” were a flavor, this would be it. Having lived in Louisiana, I can say with confidence that there is absolutely nothing Cajun about this Alfredo. Calling it Cajun is like calling ketchup salsa because they’re both red.
Now, the “Hamburger Po’Boy” .. the most disgusting burger I’ve had in my entire life at a restaurant. The ‘burger’ was dryer than I’d imagine my 90’yo grandma’s no no space to be.. with the moisture content of the Sahara. I’m genuinely curious how they achieved this level of dehydration, was it microwaved? Left on the grill during a shift change? Pressed flat with a spatula until every molecule of joy escaped?
There was also a strange, unpleasant flavor from some mystery substance—possibly a sauce, possibly a cry for help. The patty itself strongly resembled those frozen bulk burgers you buy when you need to feed 30 people cheaply and don’t plan on tasting the food yourself. 20% meat, 80% existential regret.
Overall, this was less a meal and more a warning.. a warning to cook at home & avoid this place in the future. Both my tastebuds, and wallet, will be grateful.
