No more Rick's on the Bricks. It's now a beer garden. I miss the fried pickles, the burgers, the lunch specials and the friendly staff.

Even though everything you might have heard about Ricks on the Bricks is all true, it is one of the best places to eat in Texas that serves fried pickels "yes, fried pickels". Ricks is the best but the sad thing is my family and I went over there on 10-22-06 and they have shut down, I don't know why or when but there was something else going up its place, I'm sorry to give this bad news.

Rick's on the Bricks

Rick's is in the Cultural District, has a bar (smoking allowed) and keeps long hours. I hadn't been there for a while, so this is an update based on today's lunch. Burgers are great and quite large. Onion rings are very good. If you want a healthy lunch, the chicken taco salad is very tasty and meets that goal. Daily lunch specials vary daily hamburger steak, roast beef, chicken and pork.

The chili is excellent, but is far from low fat. It tastes good because it is extremely rich, dripping in fat.

Table service is given by waitresses who are quick and nice to deal with. The dining room is in the front of this old house and the bar is in the rear with its own entrance. As this restaurant is next to a large hospital, parking can be tricky during busy hours. A Fort Worth tradition that meets the requirements of being inexpensive, tasty and often deep fried.

Since 1989 Rick's has been providing wonderful, juicy, fat hamburgers, Texas fried chicken, fried pickles (yes pickles) and the best fried onion rings you'll ever have. Many other menu items including a few that are healthy. Kiddy menu.

As Rick's has a fully licensed bar, you can also have the drink of your choice. Rick's is very busy after work and in the evenings with neighborhood folk and medical center employees dropping in for a drinky on their way home.

Look for an old house on the north side of the street when looking for Rick's. The entrance is on the southwest corner. Newcomers often have trouble finding which door is the one that actually opens.

You wouldn't describe the decore as either tasteful or organized. It just happened. No manufactured cute here! Seat yourself and try for a table with a view of the front door. You don't want to miss anyone coming in.

All food available for take out. They also can make party food for you and have gift certificates.

Parking is limited during peak hours. Almost totally unapproachable during the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo from middle January for about 20 days.

Family by day. Singles and hopefuls of all persuasions by night. Don't mix the two!

Restaurant, bar and restrooms have limited wheelchair accessiblity. There is a ramp on the east side of the house that rolls down to the bar entrance. Although the restrooms have been modified by making 2 stall facilities into one toilet rooms, This is an absolute 'no can do' for anyone using a scooter. I wouldn't want to say it is easy to get in to. This is an old house by Fort Worth standards. The outside stairs are tricky for the uninitiated and those who've had too much to drink.

The 'bricks' refers to the bricks that are the paving of Camp Bowie Blvd.
