Big breakfast to order, or more with buffet. Eggs cooked correctly. It is exactly what you should expect. Service is snappy for the volume they cater.

Have to give 5-star b/c it’s a local greasy spoon, fresh food, home cooking. It’s a buffet. Not many of these around anymore. Ran by good honest folks. It’s good food. And true southern sweet tea.

Old school Fayetteville standard that hasn’t changed in decades. A great breakfast stop that also offers a reasonably priced buffet. I enjoyed the selection of vegetables on the buffet thou the meats were all somewhat over-cooked and a bit dry. Our server was terrific and extremely personable so we look forward to many return visits.

I'm a local and mom n pop places get my vote every time. Ric's has always been one of my favorites. The food has a local flair. There aren't many mom n pops that still have a small buffet. These kinds of places are getting rare. It's a nice alternative to the crown and clown places.

Not my personal favorite but next in line. Recently visited for the first time in many years. Was a bit spooked when I first entered because the first thing you see is a buffet line (not my thing). Regardless ordered the chick fried steak which was great. Tons of seating friendly wait staff.

The food was great, the service was horrible. Head to ask for coffee, tea we ordered but never came. 4 waitresses eating their breakfast at a back table while we're did without. I'll never go back.

I will say that the employees were very friendly! It's a little run down on the outside but inside is a little better. It seems like a decent family friendly place. The food, however, left much to be desired; very greasy, lacking in flavor and quality. Sadly, we probably won't come here again due to the food quality when you can get much better taste and quality for a similar price elsewhere.

A fun mom and pop hole in the wall diner. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts!

It's alright. Small hole in the wall place that has been here forever. It is a local favorite but I went with the French dip and not sure if it was good really. The service was so so. The price is fair as well. Portions are good, they do give ya lots fries. They offer a breakfast buffet that is equal to a continental but a bit fresher and more options. If you want a quick bite it's not bad just know if you have a large party you may wait for your food quite a bit longer if your not doing the buffet.

I Was really excited to try this place out. But after 5 phone calls (voicemail confirming they were open) and their website being down, I unfortunately took it as a sign and went else where.

We had breakfast. Portions were good. Service was decent. Didn't take too long to get our food.I had a side of hot sausage. It was good quality (tasted like Potter's), & it actually had a little hot to it. We also had an omelette. The hog or Razorback, or something along those lines. Good large omelette for the price.

I love Rick's Iron Skillet! Even though there is not a Rick here anymore. The front of the house staff are some of the most friendly folks I have EVER met, I mean that. The food is good, service fast and it can be a fun place for breakfast, especially before having to go see Jesus and all on Sundays. Just one word, if you get the waffle, that is a razorback on it. NOT a javelina or a porcupine....

Breakfast was so good. The omelet was big and meaty and soft and fluffy. The french toast is so good and they have really good bacon. The only complaint I could possibly have is that the place is kind of hard to find for the first time (not really any outside lights or big signs), but I think once you try it you'll never forget where its at!

This used to be one of the best breakfast spots in town. Was taking over by new ownership, the food is now mediocre at best, the service is terrible, the new owners are downright rude and deceptive. Don't waste your time, you can get the same quality food and Better service at literally any random franchise breakfast joint.

I tried this place for the first time a few days ago for breakfast. It's some of the best food I've had.I'm originally from New Orleans (42 years born and raised) so I feel I can say what good food is and this is good food.I'm looking forward to trying the lunch menu. Eat here. You won't be disappointed.

Came in and had to wait at least 5 minutes before we were even greeted. Ordered our drink and had to wait another 5 minutes just to get those. Ordered our food and had to wait over 20 minutes to get it. Guy who ordered after is got his food first. Food was good. Just bad staffing. Not enough people to run the place effectively.
