There's
a lot of Reasons to Keep Coming Back to RickiJo's
Monday-night
football watchers will not be crowded around RickiJo's 70-foot bar this
fall, as four new television screens will provide plenty of elbow room
for sports-minded patrons. A large screen projector should also delight
the cheering section.
Proprietor Tom Markos,
who has owned RickiJo's since 1987, has made some big changes in the
interior decor of the establishment in the last several years, adding
to the comforts and conveniences and generally making things better
for customers. The bigger, more numerous screens for the football crowd
are just part of the thoughtfulness that has gone into all these changes.
But
no matter how attractive a place, of course, it's the food and the friendliness
that counts and RickiJo's has earned a reputation for excellence in
both areas.
"Over the last
few years, we've experienced good growth, mainly in food sales,"
says Tom. We've expanded our menu and people seem to appreciate it.
We are also selling a lot more steaks and in the summer, our salads
have been very popular."
The steady growth
in customers is also because Tom stays aware of the current popular
taste in foods as well as retaining the traditional homestyle dining
that attracts so many families and older people to RickiJo's. Tom and
his staff keep tabs on what people are enjoying, what they're asking
for and who's eating what. They respond by introducing specials, which
are then placed on the menu if they prove to be popular.
Last
year, for instance, wraps were introduced. Today, they are big sellers
and they're on the menu. Roast Beef has its followers on Saturday and
Sundays. Nothing is written in stone, however. As contemporary tastes
in food change, RickiJo's makes sure they keep pace with popular demand.
RickiJo's homemade
soups and sauces, the quality of their food, the choices of entrees
and the specials each day brings have all contributed to making this
one of the most popular dining establishments in town.
It's
also a cheery, fun place to meet your friends for a drink or have a
meal. Wait staff makes a point of ensuring you're comfortable and is
only too delighted to let you know what's great that day and what's
really great. (So far, they've not been wrong!) The fact that very large
portions are served (great for doggy bag lunches the next day), at prices
that are extremely reasonable, have added to the appeal.
Every
Wednesday is Seniors Day, they can dine at a 15% discount between 4
p.m. and 10:00 p.m., from a special menu and receive No PST or GST off
the food menu. There are great dinner specials all week including specials
on Wings, regular and breaded, Garlic Bread and Steak just to name a
few.
And don't forget
- RickiJo's was one of the first restaurants in Niagara to open a smoking
room for the comfort of all patrons! (Picture right.)
If you're taking
a large group of people with you to celebrate some event or a special
day, better make a reservation. RickiJo's can accommodate large groups
with advanced notice.
