About Ricky's
Choosing where to eat when a group cannot agree is its own small negotiation, and a broad menu solves it more easily than a specialty room does. Ricky's sits at 1140 Harvey Ave in downtown Kelowna, an easy stop for a working lunch or a break during a longer errand through the core.
Restaurants along a stretch like this tend to serve a wide cross-section of customers rather than one type, from a quick solo lunch to a family meal, and a broad menu is usually part of how they manage that. What is actually on the menu changes by owner and by season, so the simplest step for anyone with a strict diet or a picky eater is to ask directly rather than assume the usual guesses are right.
Timing matters here more than the size of the city suggests. Summers are hot, the beaches and wineries pull visitors in from across the province, and the main roads thicken through the afternoon. Arriving outside the peak hour, or calling ahead on a July weekend, is the simplest way to skip a wait. In the shoulder seasons it is far quieter and a weeknight visit is usually easy without a wait, though holiday weekends are worth a quick call either way.
