Pleasant staff. Different seating options. Good burgers and crab cakes. Parm tomato soup was delicious. Fries and Mac n cheese were very good as well. Reasonable prices and large portions.

Rick’s has been on my list to try for a while, and I finally stopped in for dinner! I wanted to try everything on the menu, but finally settled for the fish & chips with a side of fried shrimp. They use fresh local flounder for the fish and let me tell you….this was one of the BEST fried flounders that I have ever had! The fried shrimp were also amazing! Everything being served looked and smelled delicious. The place has a great vibe inside and the service was 2nd to NONE! Also at times this place is so busy that the parking lot is full and folks park on the road; just a testament of how amazing Rick’s is! The place is a MUST try if in the area and I highly recommend!

We ate at Rick’s on Saturday evening 8/16 and Sunday evening 8/17! Our steaks on Saturday came out perfectly cooked!! Our steaks on Sunday evening came out very well done! Not even edible! The fish specials that we ordered was also very overcooked and dry! The two of us who ordered the fish didn’t feel well the rest of Sunday evening The atmosphere was nice but it was very loud and it seemed like the air conditioner was not working as it was very warm in there. Our server NICOLE was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! She was very attentive and seemed to really enjoy her job!!

Nothing special here, It’s pretty much the only thing in the area that’s a sitdown restaurant has half decent food that’s reasonably priced. If you’re looking for somewhere to go cause you don’t want to travel outside of Sneads ferry, not a bad option but plenty of good options outside of the area that would perform this. I had the fish it was dry not very well seasoned. Service was slow and non-attentive and we came in a non-busy time so that was surprising. Not a horrible place, but I would recommend fishmongers down the road

After a long workday in Sneads Ferry, I was looking for a good meal and had already spotted Rick’s on my list of places to try. When I checked into the Hampton Inn just down the street, the front desk lady highly recommended their steaks. She wasn’t biased—she mentioned there were other options closer if I didn’t feel like driving—but I was clearly in the mood for steak, and she pointed me in the right direction.

Rick’s has been in business for over 22 years, and it shows. The standalone building has a large parking lot with plenty of space. I walked into a bright, light wood-toned sports bar with a large central bar and two separate seating areas—one with booths and tables away from the bar, and the other on the bar side where I sat. Noise level was average for a sports bar.

I was greeted promptly upon walking in and seated right away. My server was perfect—attentive without being overbearing. The menu was impressive, with a wide variety of choices that made me want to come back just to try more.

I ordered the ribeye steak with grilled shrimp on top (surf and turf), a side salad, and the house vegetable—squash and zucchini. The salad arrived fresh and crisp, clearly prepped that day. The cucumbers were exceptionally fresh, the lettuce was perfect, and while it had a few more croutons than I prefer, some folks like that—so no real complaint.

The entrée was phenomenal. The ribeye was perfection—lovely marbling, cooked to an absolutely perfect medium. The presentation was beautiful, with a skewer of grilled shrimp laid on top. The shrimp were seasoned well and cooked just right. The vegetable medley was clearly never frozen—fresh, lightly seasoned, and sautéed just enough to preserve its texture and nutrients.

I eat a ribeye about every other week somewhere across America, and this steak easily ranks in my top two for 2025 so far. It tasted like it came from a higher-end steakhouse—possibly Halperns or something comparable.

The service was excellent. My server had great instincts—she didn’t hover or interrupt, but she kept an eye on me and made sure my tea glass never went dry. She cleared plates without unnecessary chatter, which was exactly right for the moment.

Rick’s also owns the domain “eatatRicks” and uses that across social media—brilliant branding. After 22+ years, they’re clearly doing a lot right. The place is clean, the food is fantastic, and the service was spot-on. I wish them continued success and many more years to come. I’ll definitely be back.
NOTE: I had posted the same review under my work account by accident I have removed it and replaced it with this exact replica here. PWT :)>

Sure! Here’s a solid four-star review for Rick’s Restaurant and Sports Bar:

Great Atmosphere and Plenty of TVs!

Rick’s Restaurant and Sports Bar is a fantastic spot to catch a game and enjoy a meal. The atmosphere is lively, with plenty of TVs strategically placed so you never miss any action, no matter where you’re sitting. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure drinks stay full and orders come out promptly.

The menu offers a good variety of classic bar food, and while everything was tasty, a couple of dishes could have used a bit more seasoning. That said, the wings were spot-on, and the beer selection had plenty of great options.

If you’re looking for a fun, sports-friendly environment with solid food and great service, Rick’s is definitely worth a visit. Just a few small tweaks, and it would easily be a five-star experience!

We go to Rick’s every year on our family vacation. It’s something my kids look forward to. We enjoy going late after spending the day on the beach and waiting out in the parking lot, goofing around, taking selfies. However, this time we didn’t have to wait, we got a seat right away.

I’m pretty sure I had a review on here from years ago, but apparently, something happened to that…

My husband & I were staying @ Blue Water Inn & Suites just down the road & wanted a meal. We both had half a rack of ribs with baked potato & vegetable. Back home in NY we have a place we go for ribs, but Rick’s ribs were amazing!! We wanted to go back to try something else but the snow storm had other ideas. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stop in again.

One of our favorite stops every time we visit Topsail. This time we chose to eat an early dinner and forgo the crowds. Our waiter was Christopher, he was extremely attentive and thoughtful. An amazing young man. Great job. Portions are large. Highly recommend. Amazing selection of kids meals. Our four year old was extremely happy with her pasta Alfredo.
