The Neighborhood Bar That Showed Up
Ricky J's opened in Fredrickson in 2009 with one simple idea: the neighborhood deserved a real place to eat, drink, and belong.
Ricky J's Restaurant and Bar | Our Story
Born in Fredrickson
In 2009, Ricky J's planted its flag on Puyallup's South Hill — not a chain, not a concept, just a neighborhood bar and restaurant that wanted to be somewhere people actually wanted to be. That original instinct hasn't changed.
A Kitchen That Earns It
The french dip, the beef and blue melt, a pizza made fresh to order — this is a kitchen that takes the food seriously even when no one expects it to. Guests who come in skeptical tend to come back.
The Staff Make the Room
When regulars leave reviews calling out their server by name — and they do — that's not luck, it's culture. The team at Ricky J's builds the kind of relationships that turn first-timers into fixtures.
Breakfast to Last Call
Steak and eggs at 8 AM, happy hour at 3, trivia by evening, and karaoke carrying the room until close — Ricky J's runs the full day without losing its footing at any hour.
Fifteen Years of Showing Up
Birthdays, 21sts, Tuesday nights with nothing to do, Saturday nights with everything to celebrate — the community has kept showing up, and so have we.
