Head to Ricky's Before and After the Game

- By David Broatch SPECIAL TO THE PROVINCE

One of the best things about heading in to a Ricky’s Family Restaurant these days is looking at the new menu and the modern décor and thinking how much things have changed — and then the familyfrie­ndly service and great prices make you realize that things haven’t really changed at all! The famous breakfast menu has been expanded, of course — you’ll find all your new breakfast obsessions, along with some fun new traditions, like the “build your own Benny” option, with eight toppings and five cheeses to choose from — but the fluffy buttermilk pancake stacks and signature Brekkie-Bowls you grew up loving are all still here too, and all available every day till four pm. Stepping into a Ricky’s All Day Grill, Ricky’s Country Restaurant or Ricky’s Café is about so much more than breakfast, though. Signature cocktails, craft beers, daily dinner specials and a menu full of new choices and old favourites make Ricky’s a compelling option when you’re wondering where to have a meal with family or friends. “We’ve made so many exciting changes over the past ten years that we’re just not what some people remember any more,” explains Stacey Hansson, senior vice president of Ricky’s group of family-style restaurant­s. “Breakfast is still great but there’s so much more now — like our Prime Rib Weekend promotion, build-yourown burgers and a modern dinner

menu with great steaks, amazing side choices like garlic mashed potatoes, savoury potato wedges, skin-on fries, tumbleweed chips, chef’s rice, Caesar salad and cornbread and honestly some of the best ribs you can get anywhere.” Sometimes it’s a problem figuring out where to take the whole gang for a meal — but Ricky’s is the perfect solution. Before or after the game or a movie, Ricky’s extensive menu has something for every taste, and the adults will love it as much as the kids do. “Our prices are reasonable,” Stacey says, “but we make certain that everything we serve is high quality, fresh and delicious and that our service is still the best in the business — that’s what’s kept us around since 1962!” If it’s been a while since you and your family visited your local Ricky’s, there are now over ninety locations in Canada open to serve you, and you won’t believe what you’ve been missing — drop in soon and find out why it’s time to try Ricky’s again.
