Great casual outside patio deck dining on the river 5/9/2010

The place was clean, and the servers were fast and attentive. The shots came in plastic shot glasses, yick what a joke here i am paying premium prices and i get a plastic cup. Other than that, the oysters were great, the onion rings were great with beer batter, and the atmosphere was perfect for a real happy hour after work or after boating or fishing. I'm bringing the group from work next time and we will give em hell about the plastic shot glasses, lol. Pros: Excellent Raw Oysters Cons: Plastic shot glasses, and the plastic soda cups are small more

Great place to have a great time. Open everyday of the year with a great view of the Hillsborough River. Can come by car or boat and have an outsite bar so smokers can drink and smoke at the same time. more

What a find 9/13/2005

If your looking for a great place to dine, this is not the place. But for a fun time, cold beer and just a unique hang out this is the place. A place to hide a way.... Pros: on the water, music Cons: average food more

Great Value, Great Times 6/10/2005

I find Rick's very casual but not "low class". A truly unique restaurant unlike any other in tampa. If you want to go where the locals go, head over to Rick's.The most reasonable waterfront hangout ever. It even has live music 7 days a week! You can visit by land or boat. Pros: atmosphere, prices, attractive wait staff more

Working Man's Hangout 6/23/2003

If you want a place where you can totally let your hair down and feel like you're at a festival/fair, eat here, outside, when they've got some music. The servers were all nice and helpful, but the seating (outside) was uncomfortable, the food was average, and the decorum was virtually non-existent. Pros: nice servers, on the river Cons: average food, uncomfortable, low class more

  • The Scene
    There's plenty of space inside and out to just kick back and relax. This place reeks of nostalgia from back in the day, but somehow remains a popular after-work destination. Most people go to shoot pool in the adjacent billiards room, but the live music also is a big draw. You'll find some great local talent, including the spawn of Elvis, Wednesday through Sunday evenings. Go outside and drink "on the beach" or check out the dock.

    The Food
    It won't make you forget about Mom's cooking, but it will satisfy the late-night craving. Order a special pizza or "real" Philly cheese steak ($5.95). You can get most items for about $6. Most people come for their liquid diets: drinks are made "with love" from Tiffany and her sister the way you want them--strong.
