Ricky's Steak and Buffet brings a laid-back, all-you-can-eat dining experience to Bainbridge Mall, showcasing steak and other Southern dishes for lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. Drawing inspiration from classic Southern cooking traditions and homestyle comfort food, the buffet features carved steaks, fried chicken, country-style vegetables, fresh salads, and made-from-scratch desserts. Signature offerings such as a rotating selection of hot entrees including meatloaf, roast beef, fish, chicken fingers, and liver and onions, along with a salad bar stocked with fresh vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, and various dressings, ensure every guest finds something to enjoy. The restaurant takes pride in its friendly service, particularly from staff members like Lisa who have been noted for outstanding hospitality, and its affordable pricing that appeals to locals and travelers alike. Vegetarian options throughout the buffet, a kids' menu for younger diners, and a welcoming atmosphere make this spot accessible for families and individuals.
The buffet at Ricky's is thoughtfully structured to satisfy both steak lovers and Southern food enthusiasts. For those seeking the namesake offering, steak is available on specific nights, including grilled-to-order steak dealt out regularly during dinner service. The hot bar rotates daily offerings but consistently includes fried chicken as a standout item. Fish, chicken livers, chicken fingers, meatloaf, and roast beef appear as regular selections. Vegetable sides change with the seasons but feature Southern staples such as green beans, corn, okra, collard greens, black-eyed peas, and mashed potatoes with gravy. The salad bar provides fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, shredded cheese, croutons, and hard-boiled eggs, offering a lighter start to the meal.
Sunday brunch expands the buffet with breakfast items served alongside lunch options. Pancakes, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, breakfast sausages, and bacon join the regular lineup, making Sunday a particularly popular time to visit. The dessert section includes house-made sweets such as banana pudding, cobblers, cakes, and soft-serve ice cream for a sweet finish. Fresh bread rolls and cornbread accompany many meals, perfect for soaking up gravies and pot likker from cooked greens.
