Ricks Drive in and out is one of many restaurants opened by Mr. Rick in the Los Angeles area. The current owner started out as a breakfast cook here in 1977 and became an owner by the year 1978. In 2004 the city of Gardena filed eminent domain on the restaurant, yet, through the efforts of many loyal customers and Angelenos’, the ruling was overturned. Rick’s continues being a staple of Gardena, you may know us for our famous sign on Rosecrans Ave. or as the best breakfast, burger, Pastrami, and Chili Cheese Fries around.
