When we opened Rick & Ann’s 30 years ago in November of 1989, we felt something was missing in Berkeley – a restaurant serving the dishes we relished in our childhood.
Taking full advantage of the freshness, variety of ingredients, and cooking talents that the Bay Area has to offer, we’ve created breakfast, lunch, and brunch menus of simple, comforting foods with universal appeal.

This reliable Berkeley restaurant packs in diners with quality comfort food combined with efficient, friendly service. Though breakfasts are enjoyable, try the specials or grilled dishes in the evening---steaks are worthy as well.… Read Full Editorial
the missing ingredient... by Chris312 via Citysearch on 7/29/2008
I recently returned from Southern California and immediately convened for brunch at my once FAVORITE restaurant...Rick & Ann's. Before moving back in 2005, I patroned this place on average twice a week. It was the best place to be - both…
Friendly neighborhood Brunch spot by recycleplease via Citysearch on 5/10/2007
Sometimes the wait can be long and the servers can be busy but it's just a cozy place to relax into the weekend with some tasty food. I especially love their hash browns with beet! mmmmm!
Not worth the wait! by jonnyjohnson via Citysearch on 2/26/2007
I would not recommend this brunch place to anyone. The food was below average, but the biggest problems with the place are the very long waits, and poor service. On a recent Sunday morning, we left our names and were told the wait was…
long waits - watch out! by tulips500 via Menuism on 1/11/2007
located next to The Claremont Hotel in the (_much_) nicer part of berkeley, rick & ann's was a bit of a...
Best brunch in berkeley by viv via Menuism on 10/22/2006
Best brunch in Berkeley. We waited over an hour for our table, but the service was friendly and the food is...
Dinner's Only OK by gilgirl via Citysearch on 9/23/2006
Rick & Ann's is the most convenient restaurant for us to go to; it's practically across the street. Despite that, we've never been for the infamous brunch. (I'm not waiting for an hour to eat pancakes or eggs.) We have been three times…
Bleh! Worst Waffle Ever! Terrible Service! by irenett via Citysearch on 8/23/2006
I used to like Rick and Ann's! What happened? We went there this morning and had the most mediocre brunch, ever. I was embarrassed, since I brought out of town guests telling them how good it was. The food was gross. Worse yet, when we…
Long wait/bad service/bad management/bad menu by boscoboy2002 via Citysearch on 6/11/2006
What happened! This used to be a fantastic brunch place, despite the awful waits and the terrible seating (small restaurant, crammed, boxed-in-seating). Something recently though has happened, its terrible. The quality of their food has…
What happened??? by ebgirl via Citysearch on 4/26/2006
This used to be a fantastic brunch place, despite the wait and the close seating. However, this place has seriously gone downhill in the past few months. The service is AWFUL and the food is now greasy and not at all what it used to be. …
breakfast by rachel r. via Judy's Book on 3/28/2006
Rick and Ann's is a very popular breakfast spot -- so popular that the wait can be unbearable. I've only had the breakfast popatoes (because I'm vegan) which are good but not to-die-for, but everyone seems to be gaga for their pancakes…
oh so slow by theburg via Citysearch on 7/25/2005
went here with my 3 year old. the hostess was very nice. we waited about 25 minutes for a table, which on a saturday morning wasn't bad.
at 11:48 the waitress came by to take our order--I wanted lunch-type food, but she said they…
Homey Berkeley hangout serves hearty breakfast favorites like potato hash, cornmeal pancakes and homemade applesauce. by Contributor via Citysearch on 7/18/2005
The Scene
This longtime Elmwood brunch hangout is still going strong--the leafy sidewalk is crammed with bumper-to-bumper baby-stroller traffic every weekend morning. Inside, a soothing, sunny space is custom-made California:…
Their CATERING!!!!! by haahaahaa98 via Citysearch on 6/2/2005
I have never actually been to Rick and Ann's, but I have been fortunate enough to tasted their sandwiches which were catered to an event at the University. All the sandwiches I tried were of the freshest quality: the foccacia bread was…
Too crowded, long wait by expertrater via Citysearch on 4/30/2005
I'm disappointed with Rick & Ann's. After reading the great reviews on this site I expected spectular value. I visited on a recent Sunday for brunch and we waited over an hour for a table for 2. I don't mind waiting for a table if the food…
Consistently Great! by khathaway via Citysearch on 10/18/2004
This place is awesome! The food is always great, and the service is always friendly and quick (even when they are busy). You also can't go wrong with the desserts! Waits can be long for breakfast and dinner, but if you go early you'll…
Good Food & Friendly Folks by kevdonelly via Citysearch on 4/18/2004
The food is terrific, the menu diverse and the service remarkably friendly even in the hectic pace they keep. Other than the high noise level, this place rocks! Come prepared for a long parking search though.
Me like :) by Extreme via Citysearch on 3/19/2003
I was taken to this place by a friend who lives in the East Bay. I am now going to actually go out of my way to go to Rick and Ann's resturant. Be prepared to wait a little since it is popular. Good thing there is a coffee shop directly…
comfort food ++++ by coonyham via Citysearch on 11/14/2002
Excellent menu, down to earth yet sophisticated. Excellent yellowsquash soup, delicious meatloaf and the breakfast menu is to die for.
tasty food by love_lucie via Citysearch on 9/9/2002
Rick and Ann's is a consistently place for a great breakfast. There is food for the health-conscious, not so health-conscious and kids.
Best Home Fries by Meower via Citysearch on 8/24/2002
If you're a potato head you'll hopefully love their home fries.
I think they're perfect....sliced potatoes soft with a crispy,
crunchy edge to them...not greasy and just the right amount
of onions. Not huge chunks or mushy bits. We've…
