Editorial Review for Rick's Dessert Diner – by Kira O'Donnell
The Scene
Don't even bother visiting Rick's Dessert Diner unless you've whipped yourself up into the right frame of mind. Anyone who frets about calories should stay away so as not to spoil the experience for the sugar gluttons. Rick's sells desserts--and that's it.
The Food
The cakes are so tall they'll make you laugh; it's hard to believe that they can stand up by themselves. It's hard to choose between creamy tiramisu, Oreo cheesecake and the selection of towering cakes (there are usually about 16 in the case), including the divinely chocolate devil's food. If you're a carrot cake lover, you've got to sample Rick's version. Moist, toothsome and subtly spicy, this giant is loaded with carrots, pineapple chunks, coconut and slathered with a dreamy cream cheese icing.

We had been to this place before because they sold a unique cake flavor that one of our employees really enjoyed. This year I ordered the cake a week prior to the day we would need to pick it up. I even spoke to the owner & he took my order. The day of the persons birthday we drove a half hour to this place & when we got there they told us they didn't have it. Supposedly they had no order or record of it & out of every cake they had they didnt have the one we needed. It was the DAY of the employee's birthday! They did not apologize, try to fix the issue, offer anything, etc. I would never be able to trust Ricks again with something important such as a wedding cake or even a birthday cake when they cant even remember to make it. I couldn't imagine if something like this happened to a couple on their wedding day. Maybe I should have waited until the last minute to order it so they wouldn't be incompetent & lose the order. We were very dissapointed with their customer service and how they reacted to the mistake. They did not try to resolve the situation and didn't even apologize.
Pros: Unique types of cake
Cons: Bad customer service

Great place for a date, there are tons of choices, but be prepared for the huge crowd on Friday and Saturday nights. I like the variety of choices but none of the desserts are what I would call spectacular
