Ricky's All Day Grill - Cloverdale — Restaurant in Surrey

I am compelled to share my reasons for leaving a review. I don’t remember how long ago my first visit was but I do remember the atmosphere was great, the host was friendly & gave me a choice of tables, It took me a long time to choose what to order because the menu is so varied that I couldn’t decide what to order. When the server brought the food it was hot ,fresh & delicious. The price was less than expected. Because of that first visit, I had to try it again to be sure it wasn’t a fluke, that was a few years ago and I keep coming back because it’s always like the first visit. Never disappointing. When I walk in the door, the Hosts, whether Arman, Sophia, or Bunny, greet me with a smile & call me by name.Always ask me how I’m doing and generally make me feel welcome. The servers Simran, Sarb & Mandy are always super friendly & attentive to what I’m ordering & it always is exactly what I asked for. Sarb is probably my most regular server & some might say favourite, she has a great sense of humour, and always shows interest in her customers. She will repeat my order to me to be sure I didn’t forget anything. She has brought the cooks Sukhi & Baljit to my table when I tell her how well the food is so I can tell them personally. They are excellent. They are pleased that it meets my expectations, great job Sukhi. When it’s extra busy, Gurpreet is quick to help out. I could say a lot more, this is one of the very Best Family Restaurants around. I have often gone out of my way to, just to have a meal where consistency prevails & the atmosphere is always inviting. Don’t just take my word for it, look at all the other reviews, people speak highly of this place and rightly so. Gurpreet, you have terrific staff who represent your restaurant as though it was their...

I've been to many Ricky's but this was only my second time at this one. I have only ever had breakfast at any of the Ricky's I've been to and today was no different. The menu is easily laid out and has just the right amount of classic options you expect at a place like this. I had the biggest classic breakfast they offer, it came with 3 eggs ( I had scrambled), bacon, sausages, hashbrowns, toast and, wait for it....pancakes! Literally too much food but an impressive spread. The eggs were cooked well, the bacon wasn't too fatty and was thick cut and wider than the usual rasher but i think it was deep fried rather than cooked onbthe flat top. The sausages were tasty and bigger and spicier than your standard english breakfast link. Ibdidn't care for the hash browns as they were the little triangle shaped pieces and were tossed with peppers and onions. I like shredded and i like them on the flat top. The multi grain toast was good, not too toasty and not toasty enough...know what I mean? The pancakes were bigger than I expected given they were essentially a side but they were a little chewy. The coffee was your standard diner coffee and our server kept it topped up which i really appreciate. All in all, a place to get a well prepared and tasty...

Waitress was friendly enough until I started describing the food or the lack of. The food was horrible. Spicy chicken sandwich had two small chicken tenders on top of so much coleslaw and too much cheese that was not even melted. The coleslaw was mixed with so much dressing that all you could taste was sugar and a film of grease, not even tasting the cabbage or carrots, which hide any spice. My son removed all of the toppings to find two of the smallest pieces of chicken. You can get more chicken at McDonald's value chicken burger and save some money. The fish that I got looked and tasted like the worst ones from NoFrills and I can attest to the coleslaw, it was truly disgusting and it is irrelevant that it was not mayonnaise but coleslaw dressing and actually I am appalled by that for a chain that it is. The fries were actually good, but they must have ran out of them , the plate of food on both looked like it was half empty. I wished I had taken a picture. Too late for that, first visit and I won't be back. I have worked as a cook and waitress for many years and truly disappointed. Have some pride in what you do, and try tasting what you make before...
