Ricky's Family Restaurants - Surrey

Before the pandemic we used to eat at Ricky's quite often. Now I try to avoid it, partly due to poor quality food, but mostly because they are the only restaurant, independent or part of a chain, we've been to in years that has no gluten friendly options, or any knowledge of its importance to many diners. We've travelled across Canada twice, from Niagara Falls, and from PEI home to Vancouver Island and every place we stopped, whether a roadside diner or city restaurant offered GF options or an entire GF menu. The same was true on a recent trip from Whitehorse to home. But not at Rickys in Campbell River. The server tried, but no one had a clue what he was asking, although the dishwasher appeared to be of some help. The salad I ordered was edible, not enjoyable. White Spot in Campbell River, is the exact opposite, Good food and excellent GF options, even a separate deep fryer for GF foods!

This used to be a very busy location years ago. Still a good place to go and the service is excellent. Sandy was my server offered me a newspaper to read while I waited for my breakfast. I had Eggs Benedict with was just how I ordered it served hot with a real Benedict sauce. Good hot fresh coffee.

Huge group of us went for breakfast so we had the big back room to ourselves. Filling food and good selection of menu items for breakfast. Pleasant surroundings. Waitress didn't smile once at us. Another one spilled boiling water on someone. We had to ask for drinking water. Yet they automatically charged each of us 15% tip.

This is a good breakfast place. Service is always pretty good. Food is acceptable and they are good about making substitutions. Place is clean, good parking, can be busy on weekends for brunch.
