Ric’s Corvette Bar & Grill

Great tv selection. If you’re charging your car across the street at black bear diner and need your sports go here. Typical food for this kind of place. 4 stars for tvs. 3 for food.

I have stopped by this bar many times when I am in town. Mainly due to its location within walking distance of most hotels. Bag of chips with a burger? How much does a fryer cost? With that said it is a low key, small bar with ample sports on the tvs. Not a horrible place, but the bar maids had better know you otherwise they will treat you like you have the plague.

When I am in Grants Pass I try and stop in here for a Burger as much as to chat with Ashley. She is adorable and her fun friendly attitude embodies the spirit of this little joint. Burger are pretty good too and the hotel I stay at is right up the block, so it is very convenient and Granny’s house is within walking distance. Thanks guys for being the little place I can go to get away from the family and old people, cause God knows I can only stand hearing about the whether, the 50’s, 60’s and needlepoint for so long before I’m ready to murder anything that moves! PS — congrats on finding right guy and having baby Ashley, I am so jealous of him in a good way!!! ;)

In Grant’s Pass for my Pal’s 80^th we spotted this place across the street from the La Quinta we were staying at and weren’t disappointed.
It fit s in the «Triple D» category somewhere, hmm maybe, dumpy dive!
We ordered drinks, Chardonnay for the Lady and I a Miller Lite.
I opted for French dip & fries, excellent texture and flavor (but not like Phillipe’s!) perfect thick cut fries and an excellent Au Jus for dipping.
The Mrs. went for the chili dog (¼th pounder) covered with cheddar and onions, definitely knife and fork and very delicious!
Next time through town we may have to come back.

Bar was clean. Drink prices were good. Bartender (think her name was Ashley because i heard another patron called her that) was sub par. She did get drinks to us but was in no way personable. There were between 2 (us) and 8 people in the bar and she never introduced herself or tried to engage in any type of conversation. This is why I believe a cute butt and other features mean nothing in a bar. I would rather have a male bartender who can (and will) have a conversation. My visit was June 10^th around 9pm

Rather old and outdated with old TVs. If you want a burger and a beer it might fit your needs otherwise it’s kind of a dump and I don’t recommend it.

This place made me laugh walking from our Shilo hotel all the way to it. It reminds me of all the fun, inexpensive bars in every place I’ve lived that have made me feel welcome.
There was a guy straddling his harley when we came walking up who seemed to be yelling on his cell phone like most 50+ older folk. He nodded to us as we walked up and I giggled talking about all the décor on the outside of Corvettes.
We found a spot at the bar for the two of us. I noted the appetizers on special and a ton of lottery. Keno, slots, lotto tickets … you name it … all amazingly cheap. The available pints on tap were a pretty good selection. No strong IPAs, mostly lighter domestic beers in general.
I hear the burgers are really good at this place, but we didn’t stick around for food. We had a big dinner and family to go see. Though I must say so much of the food smelled good and the specials were a great price!

Monday night football and dinner in a sports bar… perfect! Ric’s filled the bill for us. Although the bar isn’t filled with giant flat screen tvs (thus 4 stars not 5), the food was good, the draft beer selection was adequate and it wasn’t deafeningly noisy. There were lots of locals enjoying the game and we were probably the only out of towers. The all you can eat spaghetti was just like Mom used to make and the side salad was crisp and fresh. We will stop here again as we travel between CA and WA

I don’t know what Corvettes got to do with this dumpy little bar. Why don’t you swing on past and see if you can figure it out?
I was trying to catch up on some Monday Night Football and was staying across the street. I found Ric’s listed among «sports bars» though I don’t know how true that is.
When I walked in the place seemed really dated. They had old, old TVs, most small, some with horrible pictures. All of them thankfully turned to MNF. I don’t know how often the place gets cleaned; if dust could tell stories… There was a group of guys who seemed like regulars at the bar, and some others guys came and went. In two hours I saw exactly zero women come in or out of the bar, except for the lone pleasant barmaid. I jokingly made a comment about this to the female bartender «This is a great place to pick up chicks, eh?» «HA! It’s place for guys to get away from their wives!» She shot back. All the old guys were plenty flirty with her, and she gave ‘em hell right back. This was pretty amusing.
I ordered a couple beers and a burger (of course with fries). The waitress recommended the burger. She was right, it was really good. So were the fries. A really commendable job on the fare from an unexpected place. Eventually the cook came out. I remarked on the excellence of the burger «You hand form these?» He replied «Everyday. Don’t use no frozen meat. I do the fries everyday too.» He was deadly serious about it. I can tell. Finding a good burger is a tough chore (read my other reviews). This dude and I, we have the same love when it comes to formed beef patties.
Ric’s badly needs an updating. I can’t say I’d go back. It’s just so old skool I have a hard time getting past it. But the burgers were really good and are worth the price of admission. Ric’s may be your kind of place if you enjoy this sort of thing. I’m a little too young and a little too irregular to really enjoy it. Maybe when I’m 60 years old and need to flirt with a pretty waitress and all I have in life are four other dudes who enjoy the same experience… maybe then I’ll come back to Ric’s.
Cheers!

As the name implies this is a bar covered with lots of corvette gears and several large TV’s set to sports. I did try a cheese burger which was OK.
Both times I went there few patrons, but the service was good. They have a good selection of local beers in tap.
A small room has lots of Oregon Lotto game machines.

Vroom… vroom… Ric’s Corvette Bar and Grill is for majors only, no minors here. Their televisions are tuned into SPEED and ESPN Sports channels and their walls are adorned with corvette pictures and car racing paraphernalia. Locals order pitchers of beer, play Keno on the screens above and participate in darts tournaments held weekly.
We felt a little out of place without our leather vests and cut-​off T’s, our group enjoyed fried cheese curds (half-​off for $ 1.25 an order), jalo-​onion strips (half-​off for $ 1.25 an order), thick-​cut BLT sandwiches, Gyros and Club sandwiches. All sandwiches, except the Gyros were accompanied by «chips,» which actually were french fries. Who knew a Grants Pass car-​centric bar and grill referred to fries like the jolly ol’ British do. The cheese curds were tasty with a cornmeal crust. I prefer them battered, the Minnesota State Fair-​style, but since Ric’s is the only place I’ve seen cheese curds in Oregon, the cornmeal ones will do.
