Rick's Drive In & Out runs late in Frogtown

Rick's Drive In & Out on Fletcher Drive is the kind of place Frogtown has quietly counted on for years. It's a drive-thru spot, old-school in the best sense, and it stays open into the early morning hours when almost nothing else around here does.

The menu covers a lot of ground: burgers, breakfast, and Mexican classics all under one roof, all at prices that won't make you wince. That combination, plus the late hours, explains why it's pulled in over 2,400 Google reviews and holds a solid 4.4 stars. People aren't stumbling on this place once. They're coming back.

It works for groups, it works for takeout, and it works for a late-night breakfast burrito when you didn't plan dinner right. There's nothing precious about Rick's, and that's exactly the point. Frogtown has plenty of newer spots drawing people in from other neighborhoods. Rick's is the one that was already here, doing its thing, and still doing it well.
