I have tried Rick’s in Elgin on a few occasions and never found the same quality as I have in Florence or Muscle Shoals. My last experience was so bad, I tossed it in the garbage.
I enjoy Rick’s food, but I would avoid that location with the exception of buying a snack and bottled drink, gas or to use the restroom.
The location is idea for someone with a quality product, especially in that area, but the locals have a following that is going to hard to pull from.
I wish the new owners the best.
