After a long day on the slopes, my friends and I headed to Rick's for some food and drinks. The bartender overheard one of my friends complain of a headache from a bad fall on the slopes and offered us some ibuprofen. The waitress was attentive and friendly. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Will continue to make... More

Rick's has hearty food and a big menu. It's also very close to Four Columns and is great for families. You can get all the basics here, and it's good.

After a disappointing brew pub experience in Brattelboro we headed home and decided to stop at Ricks. We had stopped for a beer before but never had the food. Too bad we didn't just stick to beer. The dining room was busy as it was pizza night bUt it appeared that there was only 1 server and 1 bartender. They... More

why why did we waste our one night in Newfane in this dive? Take a look around and you could be in the forties,the decor is plank walls with beer signs. The menu is from the 70's, outdated boring, blah. My haddock was not fresh, not seasoning, no breadcrumbs. Hubby's prime rib was okay; french fries were stale. My "cosmo"... More

Food was just okay, but bartender was great! Not a lot of beer variety.

We were up in Grafton at the Grafton Inn and did not feel like eating at the Inn's restaurant, so we asked for suggestions at the front desk. Susan recommended Rick's to us. Imagine, a local tavern (a "dive") that has a huge menu, including GLUTEN FREE PIZZA. My wife is gluten free and loved it. I had the eggplant... More

Went to Rick's during a recent ski weekend and had a great time. We stopped at Rick's for dinner one night and lunch the following day. Typical bar food, but the prices are reasonable, the beer is cold, and the locals are very friendly.

Every time I go there, I have a blast. The atmosphere is fun, people are dancing to the great live bands, the fish n chips is the best thing on the menuu, although everything s great. I don't recomment the pizza.
