Ric's Lounge & Grill

Sterling Silver beef grilled at 1,200°F and Ocean Wise-certified seafood are the twin anchors of Ric's Lounge & Grill's menu, a combination that signals more deliberate sourcing than the casual Northeast Calgary address might suggest. The kitchen covers considerable ground beyond those two pillars: ribs, burgers, pastas, pizzas, and homemade desserts fill out a menu designed for the kind of all-purpose dining that suits the venue's hotel-adjacent setting near Barlow Trail and 16th Avenue NE, positioned between downtown Calgary and the airport. The room itself is built around a large wraparound bar, with booth seating, high-tops, multiple large-screen televisions, and a private dining area that accommodates groups. It functions as a lounge as much as a restaurant, and the drinks program reflects that: wine, scotch, and artisan cocktails are all represented. Sunday brunch extends the week's offering beyond the standard steakhouse format. Pricing sits in the budget-to-midrange range, which, combined with the Sterling Silver steak program and Ocean Wise seafood certification, positions Ric's as a practical option for airport-corridor dining that doesn't entirely compromise on ingredient standards. The venue has described itself as award-winning in its own materials, though no specific awarding body or year is on record. What the format does deliver consistently is breadth: a single visit can accommodate a table splitting steaks, seafood, and pizza without anyone feeling like an afterthought.
