    Rick's Garage was an excellent choice for our end of year work catch-up. The food was great, the service was good and the atmosphere was fantastic!👌 We would definitely recommend checking out Rick's Garage and would absolutely return for another visit. 😀

    Awesome busy burger joint extremely fast service food looked impressive but the taste was not quite there the hot sauce was quite lacking it the flavour was like uncooked paprika which left a bad taste in the mouth but great ambiance and plenty of choice on menu definitely worth trying but probably book ahead they are very popular

    Love the decor, unique and interesting to look at Food was average and as like most other places it’s getting dear. I ordered the Veggie Burger and was disappointed that for $17 it didn’t have a few chips with it Other guests enjoy the Barrumundi and chips

    Dinner and drinks in the Whiskey Bar as summer storms blow past. Incredible. Our girls social club started 4 years ago at Ricks, and always return to our first meeting point. Whether it's just drinks with friends or a meal, Ricks never disappoints.

    This place has amazing atmosphere. Took a very long time to get our meal, too long!! Appeared to have plenty of staff on in the kitchen? Food was average. Nothing exciting.
