Drinks & food were delicious! The Jalapeño Bacon Burger had a lot of flavor without a lot of heat. The jalapeño is in a bacon jam and adds just the right touch of chile flavor.Service was good. The only negative is that table service was minimal. You pretty much have to go to the bar when you want to order something. It worked out.Atmosphere was nice. A digital juke box with a wide variety of music, 4 or 5 TVs with sporting events playing and a pool table in the back. Being right at the beach you can sit outside and listen to the waves crashing on the shore. However, if it's cool & breezy, even sitting inside near the front can be a bit chilly! Parking: There's plenty of street parking in the area, but you'll have to walk a short distance because the bar is mid-block and the street does not run in front of the building.

Had lunch at Mr. Ricks at Avila Beach. Location is incredible, patio is dog friendly. They have “dog rules” on every patio table, but they are not enforced. For example, the rules say barking or biting dogs will be asked to leave, but there were a couple small dogs, a Jack Russell in particular, that lunged, nipped, and barked at other dogs, and even escaped his leash and had to be chased down by the owner inside the restaurant - with no consequences. If you have rules, enforce them.Service was great, food was so so - about what you’d expect from a restaurant with such a prime location - they don’t have to make it in the quality or price of their food.I had the salmon Caesar salad - tasty but small portions and the croutons were more like small rocks than dried bread - why do restaurants do this to croutons?My spouse had dairy and gluten-free tacos; not bad but waaay too many onions. Salsa was tasty.So - great location, great service, not bad food, pricey.

This place has changed and not for the better. Live music is gone, service is mid, food is ok. Don't put any money in the jukebox, the girl at the bar turned it off after I put 10 bucks in. She was unapologetic. This was our experience in 2022 and 2023. Sad used to be great.Great food and music! We had the quesadilla with chicken and nachos with beef the first day. Came back and had the nachos with chicken and poppers. Lots of food with decent prices!

Mr. Rick's deserves every one of these five stars for their fish sandwich. Well played.

Located right on Avila beach. I ordered their clam chowder and bread bowl and it was not bad though tasted like it needed a little more celery. Pretty much had to go to the bar area to order. It had decent ambience.

So, me and my wife went there hoping to get drinks and food but every time I went to the bar to order I was pretty much ignored. It was a little busy but these bartenders would just walk by and not acknowledge I was there. When I was finally acknowledged, they were friendly but that only takes you so far.

Love this little Beach town spot. Have a lot of history thru the years as Barbara's by the Sea. Music is playing, the sun is shining, and drinks are pouring. Makes you smile just to be there.
