Why aren't there more reviews about this place? Best comfort food ever. I mean it has a little bit of a higher price tag for comfort food but it's really comforting. (Should we count how many times I say comfort this whole post?) My friend raved and raved about the chicken melt here so finally we went on a whim one afternoon. There were no other tables in the restaurant and all of the staff were just hanging out having a meal together.
Our waitress was extremely chipper, not over the top but a mom sort of chipper! I ordered the Monte Cristo, I couldn't remember the last time I've had one. Our food came out really promptly and just as we got it the restaurant had started to fill. My monte cristo was done perfectly ! Dipped in a bit of ketchup, the egg flavor really came out. It was definitely like eating two omelettes with some ham and swiss stuffed between! My coffee seemed endless at the rate our waitress was filling it too. What I really liked was how welcoming they were. When I talked with the waitress and said I have never been here before, and that their dinner specials looked really good she INSISTED that we sat there all day drinking coffee and enjoying each others company until we were hungry for dinner !
A little out of the way if you live on Whyte but it's definitely worth the trek ! -

Rick and Alice's Grill really isn't a grill. At least, it's not what I think of as a grill, mainly serving grilled meat dishes.
What it is, is comfort food done really well at really reasonable prices: all-day breakfast, diner sandwiches (Philly Beef, Rueben, BLT, Montecristo, Melts), spaghetti and meatballs, chicken alfredo fettuccine, juicy burgers, simple salads, a couple of steaks. Throw in some interesting if anachronistic Asian dishes: spring rolls, stir fries, wonton soup, and you have this eclectic gem that is Rick and Alice's.
It's clearly Mom and Pop owner operated. There is a faithful regular crowd. The atmosphere is open and friendly.
I stop in for lunches mostly if I'm in the area or if I can arrange for 109 street to be "on the way" somewhere. Typically, I have a small salad and the calimari which is cut into small bites, lightly battered and always fried just right, a generous mound of golden rings served with home made Thai chili sauce. If you think you've had Edmonton's best calimari some where else, you haven't had it here. If I'm hungry, I go for the Montecristo sandwich, layers of ham, turkey and cheese served warm between slices of savoury French toast. It too is served just right, golden and not greasy. Can there be anything better? Of course, I leave calling my cardiologist for an EEG and arterial scan, but it's only a once in a while indulgence.
Value for quality for that smile that only good comfort food brings ... Rick and Alice's rules. -

Nothing beats going to a restaurant and being greeted by one of the owners. I frequently come here for breakfast, and every time Alice greets me. She doesn't remember my name, but she always welcomes me back and knows to keep the coffee coming.
This is a great spot for breakfast -- simple and unpretentious. The staff are quick, the food is good and the coffee is always flowing. If you're looking for a quick breakfast or a large drawn out brunch, you'll get great service from Rick (who's usually in the kitchen) and Alice (who's always out front marshaling her staff).
