Rick's BBQ Elgin

It was closed at 6:15 tonight when I passed by there...

Remodeling; they have new owners. Rick's has been unable to survive out there. Tough crowd.

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.

All the Ricks are crap but this one was worse,loaded taters are very good but everything else ranges from average to awful

I stopped by there a couple of sundays ago and seen the sign of new management. Really, I haven't seen any difference in the food from the other Ricks places but, I'd only eaten at the one in Elgin maybe 5 times.

I do agree with a poster before, that it is a ideal place for something like that if they can make it work.

Best of luck to the new owners.

Now that I think about it. The last time I was in there before then was with, I guess the original owners and for some reason they couldn't sell tobacco products. I really didn't think much about until now.

The new owners had there tobacco shelves stacked a couple of Sundays ago.

I tried them when they first opened. Noticed one of the girls working with the food was licking her fingers to get sacks off of a pile and then going back to handling food. Watched this happen repeatedly. Notified the health dept but don't know if anything changed. Last time I ate there though.

Just a side note; their diesel pumps didn't have a card reader. Thought that was rather stupid considering the place is new. Getting soaked in the rain going in to pay didn't help my opinion of the place.

The wife and I actually had pretty good luck there. Our BBQ sandwiches and tri-taters that we ordered were actually very good and were very hot. On the downside though the size of the sandwiches were noticeably smaller than the Rick's at Muscle Shoals or the one at Florence. The Large Sandwich actually had less meat than the regular sandwich at Muscle Shoals and Florence. Taste wise though we liked the Elgin location (the time we ate there) but then we just ate there two times, on our way from Rogersville.

i ate there only a few times, both times had the stuffed potato, and it was just as good as the location in muscle shoals. the service in my opinion is what killed this place, they were terribly slow, even for the potatoes. so hopefully the new owners will have better help.

Their ice cream was awful

Drove by today and saw all the signs (that said Ricks) were down and all fuel prices were removed. No doubt they are closed but why and for how long is anyones guess.

there is a sign on the window that clearly states that they are closed for remodeling. Rick lanning is no longer associated with this location. they will not be selling Rick's barbecue. i'm not sure who will be running it or who'll be providing the barbecue. but before they closed they were calling it Crossroads Country Barbecue i believe

I will be going to Quick mart. I don't think they sell BBQ?

It has reopened as a Quickmart although don't know what sort of food they are serving.
