Rick's on the River
- 2305 N. Willow Ave.
- Tampa, FL 33607
- 813-251-0369
Boaters and land lovers flock to Rick's for a taste of Old Florida on the water just minutes from downtown Tampa. Rick's is one of the few Tampa restaurants with it's own marina and dock. The large outdoor deck is perfect for getting some sun along with your sandwich. The crowd is a mix of local residents stepping out of their nearby bungalows, classic rock lovers, and of course boaters on their way back from the Gulf. On game days, get there early or be ready to share a table with strangers. You can bet the Bucs will be on all the screens that day, and it can get crowded and rowdy.
