Rick's On the Square

This was a delivery order and the food was still hot when it arrived. We ordered the Fried Catfish, Chicken Fried Pork Chops, Chicken Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, greens, cornbread muffin, purple hull peas, banana pudding and peach cobbler. Out of all of that, the peach cobbler and the purple hull peas were the star of the show, the rest was mediocre. The pork chop and chicken breast were ok just lacked flavor. The catfish wasn't cooked throughly, we threw it out. I was expecting the greens to be homemade and they were canned greens. The mac and cheese had potential, it was a little bit overcooked. The mashed potatoes and muffin were ok. The banana pudding wasn't good at all, the bananas that were in it were super dark and old plus the wafers were mushy. Disappointed to say the least because we spent $100 and only enjoyed $20 worth.

We made a reservation for 9pm and drove over from Shreveport, La Our waitress Elsa and the rest of the staff were very nice but sadly our food experience was nothing short of terrible. We received drinks and appetizers an hour after we arrived. My fiancée ordered their Swoon special, asked for her ribeye to be med rare and it came out well done. When the second ribeye came out it was not only rare but was thin and looked more like a skirt steak than a ribeye. They were also out of baked potatoes so she had to pick another side I ordered chicken fried pork chop. It came out raw and my grilled vegetables tasted like lighter fluid and balsamic, as well our au gratin potatoes tasted like they had white gravy on them. 2 hours later, we are driving home hungry and very disappointed. I will say they "helped" with our check, as they put it. Overall, I will most likely never go back to this restaurant.

Needed a place to put my brain on ice today. The patio at Rick’s on the square was perfect. The heaters were on, the vitamin D felt amazing, my gumbo was fantastic and my extra dirty martini was the best I have had in a very long time. Thanks for the perfect break in my day!

Have to say, rather disappointing to be honest. Server was not very attentive, nachos were missing pico, the breading did not stick to the chicken fried steak and her "medium rare" steak was well done. Why they put the steak on that big of a plate I couldn’t tell you but it made it look even smaller. WAY overpriced for what we got.

The kind of older restaurant and bar with character, quality service, and good food. This venue is just on the square of Tyler and with the construction improvements, this hangout should become an even better destination for lunch or dinner.

In town for the weekend and stopped by because my said it sounded good, glad we did. Great atmosphere, great food and prices are good as well. Our server, Ryilee was amazing! Very friendly and attentive, she couldn't be better. Will definitely come back the next time we're in town. Thank you for a great meal and experience.

We had a great experience here for lunch when we were in town for a short stay. We ordered sandwiches. I ordered the BLT that comes with half a pound of bacon! Wow. I could hardly take a bite. It was stuffed. Delicious. The hand cut steak fries were perfectly seasoned, not too salty. Our waitress was very friendly and prompt. The patrons next to us were rude to the waitress, and she handled it with grace and continued being cordial and prompt. They have a large selection from the menu for just about anyone's taste - steak, seafood, salad, pasta, sandwiches, street tacos, and more.
