This was my first time at Mr. Rick’s. We went with friends to listen to a local band. Band has nice area to set up and dance floor for 20-30 people. Indoor seating was all high tops. Plenty of outdoor seating. Food was good…went with my usual fare, fish tacos and they were very good. We also tried the clam chowder bread bowl which was tasty.

Had lunch at Mr. Ricks at Avila Beach. Location is incredible, patio is dog friendly. They have “dog rules” on every patio table, but they are not enforced. For example, the rules say barking or biting dogs will be asked to leave, but there were a couple small dogs, a Jack Russell in particular, that lunged, nipped, and barked at other dogs, and even escaped his leash and had to be chased down by the owner inside the restaurant - with no consequences. If you have rules, enforce them.Service was great, food was so so - about what you’d expect from a restaurant with such a prime location - they don’t have to make it in the quality or price of their food.I had the salmon Caesar salad - tasty but small portions and the croutons were more like small rocks than dried bread - why do restaurants do this to croutons?My spouse had dairy and gluten-free tacos; not bad but waaay too many onions. Salsa was tasty.So - great location, great service, not bad food, pricey.

Such cool vibe at the outside terrace. Very subtle music so you can keep conversation going without too much trouble. Food was good: moist fish, good salad, a lot of fries as a side.Lovely place so do visit if you’re around.

As a single solo traveler finding places that are both safe and fun can be a challenge. The whole crew at Mr. Rick’s and the custom house make it easy to let loose and have a good time. Most recently I was served by Angie, keith, and Austin and had the best weekend visiting my favorite place. The live music and fun atmosphere make this place more memorable. Through and through a great experience highly recommend.

Cool place. If I wasn’t 8m pregnant I’d love to be able to review their cocktails.Food was alright. Husband enjoyed his calamari and chips. Said it was mostly due to the dipping sauces.Western Burger needed help. Wasn’t worth the $19 IMO. Under seasoned and chewy bacon.Plate sizes were decent. Lots of fries as a side.Some tables and chairs outside. Inside is high tops and bar stools. Music. Cool vibe. Friendly staff.

I haven't been here since the last time I recovered the pool table, which they no longer have, so however long ago that was. The wait at Custom House was too long and we just wanted an appetizer and drink before going back on the Bob Jones Trail.We had the street tacos which were very tasty and an 805. Simple and perfect.

Mr. Ricks was always a fun place for us locals. Recently they cut their menu way back. A negative. Tonight, we were turned away after ordering drinks because we were bringing food in from the farmers market outside. We have done this in the past but Rigo InCharge changed the rules today without signage or notification to it loyal customers. Not Good on their part.

Avoid if vegetarian. You'll be offered salad with the bacon removed, then chicken, then impossible patty at $3 additional to the already $19 basic burger. Fish taco and kids options were dry and flavorless. View and location is nice and I'm sure the drink selection is great if that's what you're after

Drinks & food were delicious! The Jalapeño Bacon Burger had a lot of flavor without a lot of heat. The jalapeño is in a bacon jam and adds just the right touch of chile flavor.Service was good. The only negative is that table service was minimal. You pretty much have to go to the bar when you want to order something. It worked out.Atmosphere was nice. A digital juke box with a wide variety of music, 4 or 5 TVs with sporting events playing and a pool table in the back. Being right at the beach you can sit outside and listen to the waves crashing on the shore. However, if it's cool & breezy, even sitting inside near the front can be a bit chilly! Parking: There's plenty of street parking in the area, but you'll have to walk a short distance because the bar is mid-block and the street does not run in front of the building.

I ordered a couple of drinks and the Fuego burger. The drinks were good and the burger and fries were delicious. The proportions were quite large which is a big plus. As I sat back, I noticed the staff and I was pleased that their customer service was very polite and respectful. The bartender that served me was Alex, he and his coworkers were great. The atmosphere was calm and chill. I would definitely recommend this place. And I already have. If any of the employees read this, great job guys!

The fish and chips had huge chunks of white fish. So delicious. I had a shrimp and chips basket. I was worried it would be salty and overly breaded but they weren't! Perfectly fried and seasoned. Need more shrimps.

What a great find. I have not been in Avilla in years. Always a sleepy little town. I was surprised to find a great restaurant, great weather, and a lot of tourism.The restaurant is very limited with services. You walk up, order, and then try to find a seat. The food was good, I had the Ortega burger. We were here during the week and it was busy, so I am sure weekends will have a long wait.

Can't go wrong with some Mr. Rick's grub. It's fun to post up on their outside patio and have a drink while enjoying the fresh ocean air. The atmosphere is always chill and fun, good tunes and a good crew that takes care of you.Everything on their menu is tasty, go with the nachos if you can't decide, the best!This day (during COVID-19) pandemic we took our order to go and had a picnic on the beach while the sun set. Burgers are hardy and juicy with all the yummy fixin's. Fries and onion rings are high quality and delicious. They even had some yummy homemade type cookies I couldn't resist.They have a safe and conscientious set up to adhere to guidelines during the pandemic.

This place has changed and not for the better. Live music is gone, service is mid, food is ok. Don't put any money in the jukebox, the girl at the bar turned it off after I put 10 bucks in. She was unapologetic. This was our experience in 2022 and 2023. Sad used to be great.Great food and music! We had the quesadilla with chicken and nachos with beef the first day. Came back and had the nachos with chicken and poppers. Lots of food with decent prices!

Delicious nachos, and the drinks are so good. Was disappointed however with the chewy calamari strips. The place to go if you want to sit outside and enjoy beautiful Avila Beach.

Not as much fun as before, there's no bar anymore, no table service, no more pitchers of beer, prices really went up, no more pool table, no more Happy Hour, it's all changed, doesn't feel like a sports bar anymore, food prices really went up a lot, you have to stand in line to order and only one person taking orders.
