Ricke’len’s Country Restaurant & Pizzeria

Overall, a nice place to go if you’ve got some time to drop in for a lunch.
Came in as a rec from a lifetime local who said this place had been around forever.
Began with a French onion soup. While it tasted good and wasn’t too over-​powering in savoriness, it looked kinda funny. (See pic) Nice and chunky nonetheless.
Ordered a fried filet of sole wrap. Pretty good with warm chunks of what tasted like American cheese against a nicely crispy fried piece of sole. It was a pretty filling and fresh piece. Perhaps a little more tartar would’ve helped. The fries were nice. First time I’ve had non-​crispy fries and it was good. For a man of portion, this dish hit the spot.
Service was generally good and friendly, but didn’t seem to be much for attention. Didn’t stop to see how I was and waited a good 8 – 10 min to pay before I looked in their direction and they said I could just bring it up. But the waitresses were nice overall. Probably just busy.
Come back? Sure. Not because it was delicious but maybe out of convenience and generally like-​ability.

Fake chicken? The chicken parm tastes like rubber and I seriously asked my friend whether this was real chicken. There is something shady about the quality of food here.
Portions are huge, service is good, but when you’re serving up food that is probably not real food, all the rest doesn’t matter. Health inspectors should check this place out.
Unfortunate that I didn’t check Unilocal before going here. And also unfortunate bc the location is prime w Walmart there.

The wife and I were pleasantly surprised when we stopped in here before our Walmart shopping excursion. The dining area is surprisingly spacious and comfortable. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. Their menu has a wide variety of appetizers, sandwiches and dinner specials. Their penne ala vodka is definitely legit, and the raviolis that I got were HUGE and tasty. I ordered mine with chicken and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We would definitely stop by again to try their pizza and fried calamari.

The food here is horrible. It is a shame because with the new Walmart they could do very well. The pizza we got was so cold the cheese just fell right off. It had no flavor at all. The over cooked the mozzarella sticks to the point that they were black, yet still served them. They have ZERO fruit. My son wanted some fruit and they had none. Also, they keep their fire escape door in the back locked, so if there was a fire, people would not be able to get out. Too bad it is so bad here… very convenient to feed the kids after grocery shopping.

Good assortment of wraps and panninis to choose from. Have tried several, all delicious. Large portions. The best fries in the area. Waitresses are always friendly and courteous. Prices are very reasonable.

Not bad. Similar to Barringer’s but bigger. I give Lens the slight edge for food and space.

Good place. Cheap food, except for toppings for pizza. Good pizza (not the best, but not bad by any means). Budweiser on draft. Daily specials that include steaks. Has a diner feel, but they have pizza in the restaurant name.
Check it out.
