Ricky's All Day Grill Courtenay

Unfortunately, we 've had 2 poor experiences in a row at the Ricky 's in Courtenay. We went 3 months ago. We were seated quickly, given menus and water quickly. However, that was where it ended. We waited more than 10 minutes, no more service. We waved at the server, they asked us to hang on just a minute. They never came to our table. We finally gave up and walked out. We returned today, hoping for a better experience. I ordered an interesting looking salad, called the Califresco . It had chicken, Quinoa, half an avocado, and lots of veggies, plus feta. It sounded like a great lunch! $20.99). The service was quick. My wife 's chicken tenders were very good. When my salad arrived, there was no avocado on it. There was a small paper cup with about 1/8c of guacamole in it. It wasn 't very good guac! Next, there was absolutely no dressing on the salad. Finally, I picked off about a quarter of a large red onion, in slices. this is way more than the picture gives you the impression you 're going to receive). Am I being picky on this point about the onions? At this point, maybe yes. I asked our server to come back to the table, and told him what was wrong with the salad. He apologized about the avocado. I advised him that I wouldn 't have ordered the salad if I had known that they didn 't have any avocadoes. I think I should have been advised that they were out. The salad just didn 't interest me anymore. I asked for the manager. The server left, and returned in a few minutes, and advised me that the manager wasn 't available. Why? I guess that 's up to interpretation! The server removed the salad from the bill, which I appreciated. We 're not going back to the Courtenay Ricky 's. We 've had great success at the Ricky 's in Parksville, so if we feel the need, we 'll go to that one. What a shame, two bad experiences in a row!

Food Alberta beef burger, in lettuce wrap with mushrooms and avocado on top. Yum!!!! I ordered take away and to be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. I was just hungry and needed something convenient. I was shocked at how delicious this burger was, and with healthy options for me! Service it was take away, so I can’t fully quantify service. But the lady who handed me my food was polite. Ambiance this is where they struggle. The place looks very dated and very blah.

The food wasn't very good They seem to be trying to save money by cutting corners. We won't be back. I'd also like a refund. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: CA$10–20 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
