I really enjoy eating at this restaurant. The food is always hot and freshly prepared and the wait staff is extremely nice. Their homemade salsa is very good; get it with the huevos rancheros. They excel at omelettes and pancakes. I enjoy their chicken fried chicken with gravy for breakfast.

Richie's is exactly what I needed it to be!! It's comfortable, fun, friendly, different & feels like a hometown place. Our server was the sweetest & excellent at her job. So helpful & genuinely seemed happy to be there. Food is delicious, great open spaced seating with such a nice view. Portions & prices are great . It's such a cool atmosphere that I hope never changes.

Always pass by this place on the way to and from work. Had some time after work to finally try this place out. This place is located at the Ryan airfield (which is pretty cool as you can see the airplanes close by while you’re eating). The food came out fantastic and pretty quick, the service is awesome as well! Nice relaxed atmosphere and good prices. Will definitley be back!

Richies Cafe is a common ground for this guy, as it falls in my territory; located at Ryan's Airfield just west of Tucson on Ajo is a must stop breakfast spot. If you like taking long rides or outings with the family check out this place. Best omelets around, pattymelts awesome too. Tell them Art sent you Be sure to get a coffee cup so you never got to pay for 16 cups of coffee everyday again. Update 1-08-2024 They got a cook David, and he makes an awesome taco salad.

What a great family style dinner. Great food, service and view of the airfield. We brought a loaf of sourdough bread for takeout.

The view is amazing here and portions were pretty big. If you're a plane lover or just want something different to see, definitely come out here to eat.

Get free coffee if you bring youe Richie's coffee cup in! If you live in Three Points, this is one of the places you should go. People are nice in there. ALSO the pancakes are enormous and you can barely finish 1. I warned you. Recommendations: Richie's Omelet, veggie omelet, buffalo chicken sandwich w/fries, ONE pancake with fruit in it.
