Our Story

We are so happy you are here!

We are Ricks on the River and our family has owned and operated this slice of the Potomac since the summer of 2011. We are a husband and wife team, both born and raised between Stafford and King George, and together with our kids and ever-growing staff we have watched Ricks emerge as a summer destination for hundreds of loyal customers. As the years went on and Ricks continued to flourish, we continuously evolved our business to accommodate our growing customer base. Every year as we reopen, we provide guests with fun new changes to better the experience. Whether it’s with more tables, new menu items, or bigger and wilder bands, we hope you’ll never forget your time spent with us. We are proud to serve you excellent food, delivered by top-notch service, and hope you enjoy the sand, sunsets and music.

Thank you for supporting a small business. We exist because of you.
