Rick’s Cafe Boatyard is a gem on the water. Worth a trip to the west side of Indianapolis for great atmosphere, great views, and delicious food. Even though it was busy on a Friday night, we were able to get a table for 3 immediately. Our server Cody was friendly, courteous, helpful, and gave me a great recommendation for my meal. I had the Seared Salmon with asparagus and puréed sweet potatoes. My daughter had the Chicken Parmesan. It was a large portion, I would say enough for two people to share. My son had the kids Chicken Strips meal. Everyone enjoyed their food. Thank you for a great night out with the kiddos.

My family & I gathered to celebrate a birthday & like always everything was fantastic! I had the crab cakes again & they were delicious. I especially enjoyed the crime brûlée, this evenings special flavor was pistachio. All their mashed potatoes are Yukon gold which I enjoyed. Rick’s have a gray atmosphere & great views of the water. My children loved looking at the boats & water all around us. Service was great! Can’t wait to come back!

The view is breathtaking the services very accommodating. I had the crab Pizza. My wife and daughter shared the fisherman’s catch. My son had the pepperoni pizza. My other son had this weird salmon and my mom had the catfish. I only took a picture of the appetizer with the calamari, the crab Pizza, the creme brulee and the brownie dish. I took more pictures but I did not want to include them in the review because I had me and my family in it. I was pleasantly pleased it gets a little bit pricey but the quality is stupendous. This was a phenomenal way for me to celebrate my birthday. I definitely plan on coming back here for a date night with my wife.

I decided to make reservations on Open Table for Mother’s Day and I’m SO glad that I did! My family was visiting from out of town and we wanted something tasty but with a view. Rick’s did NOT disappoint.

This food was absolutely beautiful!! It looked like the pics. I am a visual customer and order food according to how it looks. Rick’s did not disappoint. Hannah our server, did an excellent job handling our large party. The food tastes delicious. No one at our table had any complaints which is usual with large parties. Beautiful atmosphere

Excellent seafood with beautiful views. Hundreds of cars in the parking lot but we were still able to get a table in under 15 minutes. Bacon wrapped scallops appetizer, Grilled seafood platter with salmon, shrimp, scallops, and lobster. Huge carrot cake for dessert. Parking lot is so big and full that they have a free shuttle to take you to the front door.

We had a relaxing evening dinner. Trey was an attentive server. The catfish dinner was well prepared. The key lime pie was good and the added chocolate topping made for a different twist.

Really like the atmosphere. I went in the middle of spring and it wasn’t very busy. Took awhile after being seated to have order taken. This is understandable as it seemed slow and it was about 2 hours until close I think they were cutting staff which can be chaotic in any restaurant. The food was ok but for what it cost I expected more seasoning. I ordered an 8oz sirloin med rare it was well done and lacking flavor. The fries and rice were good additions though and desert, an apple fritter al la mode was the best part of the meal. They offer quite a few drinks here and I have a feeling that that’s where this place really shines. I unfortunately was unable to drink as I flew in at the airport across the street. All in all I will definitely be back. But I’ll try some other menu items when I do.
