One of the best brunch place in bay area. French toast was so soft with right amount of sweetness, not too overpowering. White bread toasted yo perfection. Hashbrown were quite unique with parsley. Scrambled eggs were so soft. Got the basics tight very well.

Good indoor seating and outdoor seating options. We didn't need to wait to be seated on a Saturday noon. The food came out pretty quickly and was really delicious all around the board. French toast, omelette, waffles, eggs benedicts, and breakfast burrito were all solid choices. I would come here again and try their huge menu!

Rick’s has been in Los Altos for many years. I was actually surprised why I haven’t tried them earlier. From the outside Rick’s look like a hole in a wall. But when I go inside, I was surprised how spacious it is. Very high ceiling and the hall runs to the other end of the building. About the food. Rick’s menu is very heavy on breakfast and brunch items. They also have sandwiches and burger. We went there just before they are closed so we ordered a breakfast and a club sandwich. The portions are big. I can’t really finish my sandwich. The food came quick and the fries were hot. I also tried their coffee. It turns out that they roast their own coffee. I ordered a cup and they served me a thermos. The coffee was a dark roasted and it was really good. The server was attentive but not over-bearing. When I look for a Tabasco she appears right away and ask if I need anything - really good services in my book. Rick’s will definitely be my regular spot. Good for group, good for children. Lively and convenient. Large portions. About $15-20 per person.

Very large portions, good service with refilling drinks and recommending food. The food itself was yummy! The hashbrowns were extra good. Buttery, tender, crisp top, and flavorful.

Food are good with big portions. Nice little outdoor sitting area. Recently went again in Jan, 2019. Looks like the whole menu changed, all the Benedict choices are gone. Food is still good, portions are smaller now but reasonable.

Update from 2 years later. Still a nice place. Monte Christi was ok. Had a nice Cubano. My wife had the Crab Cake Salad. Service was good.

2/14/2024 Rick's Cafe 205 State St Los Altos, CA 94022 We ended up here for lunch since the place across the street had a 15 minute wait. It has a spacious clean setup with real furniture. Service was prompt, even after our order taker left at his shift change. The menu is mainly breakfast all day with some sandwiches and burgers. Wifey had the Hungry Rick with special ordered Blueberry pancakes and I had the Country Fried Steak special. Both were okay with good size portions. The signature item is that they feature toasted bagels instead of bread with their offerings. Value was okay but there are other similar DTLA places I prefer, so probably no repeat.

Breakfast is awesome here. The menu was filled with so many choices, it was difficult to decide. My guests ordered omelettes, skillets, and pancakes. The breakfast items were fantastic. The blueberry pancakes were the fluffiest pancakes I had ever seen. It was a large stack of three pancakes with a side of blueberry sauce. The omelettes and skillets are awesome. The side of bacon came with four slices of bacon but the taste was a little flat. I ordered the "philly steak" with french fries and salad. Unfortunately, their version of the philly cheesesteak probably needs some help. The salad was a little disappointing, but the vinaigrette was delicious. The fries were good. I ordered a guava mimosa. It was a little on the sweet side for me, but overall not bad. The service was quick and attentive. Overall, I would come back for breakfast again.

Ordered egg Benedict - was not great, no real taste, potatoes were crunchy. Also ordered blueberry pancake - was good, 6 out of 10. Again - very little taste somehow. Overall friendly service. But rather average everything.

Very ordinary place. The service left a lot to be desired. They never came back to check on us. Water was never filled again though the cups were thick steel ones. So cool and nice. The Greek omelette was boring. The hash browns with it were mostly burnt and between cold and lukewarm. I asked for salsa or pico de Gallo and the lady said that she will bring some more tomato-ey one with less spice but never did bring any. Bagel was forgetful and buttered. Restroom could be cleaner and better maintained too. Perhaps a 2.5 star place for me.

The staff here are nice. They have outdoor seating. I've been getting their ultimate lumberjack every time I visit. It's a huge pancake with wheat germs, blueberries, banana, nut, served with syrup and a side of blueberry compote. It's a unique dish. They have all the standard diner egg dishes. Their coffee is probably one of the worst things on the menu. One the few breakfast places in town.
