Great local place for cheap but sweet raw oysters. The Rick's Famous fish sandwich (blackened) is great, so much so I had it twice now. The laid back environment of a beach bar is nice - walk to an open table, flip the service sign and you're on your way. The view is nice and there's a decent amount of covered seating outside. Service is always friendly and the prices are decent. Looking forward to more visits.

Excellent waterfront place! Don't be afraid to order everything! We tried several apps and the fish dinner and enjoyed EVERY bite! Great service as well. Looking forward to going back soon!

Our first visit and we'll be back. It's a fun place right on the Hillsborough River with downtown Tampa in the background. Live music every day. Full bar, wine & beer. The food is priced right and very good. I had the fried oysters and they were the best I've had in years.

Why don’t you allow dogs? Or even have a dog patio? You’re missing out on a large population of Tampa. You lost my business today.

Noone wants to interact with your dog while on vacation.

Is there live music this afternoon and fresh oysters? Possibly crawfish boil outside? The calendar said something about Winter Formal but I don't think that's a band?

Kelli Whitman | Aug 23, 2021

You have hush puppies?

Diana Sloan | Aug 24, 2019
Dawn Wright | Sep 27, 2021

They sure do, they don't have much of anything now., is it the person that orders the stock. Having a affair there and had to order food from there menu, the choices really sucked, they were out of over half of the items.

I agree..my boys loved going to Ricks, by boat and by car. In fact just last week I shared a Facebook memory from 10 years ago. It was a picture of my son (who was 10 at the time) and I sitting at one of the outside tables at Rick's on the River. I brought my father-in-law there for lunch last month for the first time and he loved it too!!

Hi, Fellow Rick's fans! We just recently purchased a Sea-Doo and we are looking for some places to drop it in the water. I think I have read that you can drop a boat/pwc in here at Rick's. Is that the case? If so, what is the charge? Thanks!

Jon Wyant | Aug 23, 2020
Frank Warrington | Aug 23, 2020

Yep, $10 and you pay at the bait shop next to the ramp. I think it's open until 4pm. If you go to Davis islands there a free ramp past the airport, as well as ballast point, and picnic island.

How do you get there by boat from Apollo beach?

Lisa Milovanovic | Aug 24, 2019
Rick's on the River | Aug 24, 2019

Go in to the bay and up the Hillsborough River.

Do they have all you can eat crab?
