Rick’s Place’s expert chefs whip up rib-hugging southern-style meals served by a friendly staff within the casual eatery or amid Mother Nature's embrace in the outdoor seating. Dining duos commence a flavor symphony with spinach and artichoke dip, which layers a creamy, veggie-filled white sauce over fried bow-tie pasta formally attired in a tuxedo with cummerbund, or the seafood toast, an amalgam of crab, shrimp, and crawfish lounging atop slices of french bread more fluffy than a cumulous cloud swaddled in a blanket of cotton candy. After a shared first dish primes bellies, pairs can dig into hearty entrees, tucking into a shrimp or chicken crawfish pasta or an 8-ounce hamburger steak cloaked in onion gravy and accompanied by a potato sidekick, which can arrive to tables baked, in french-fry form, or doing the hula.
