Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Followed by an amazing portion of Apple pie with...ice cream The food was tasty and well cooked. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.More

The staff are very friendly, the prices are great, you are able to sit in or sit outside the restaurant or up top on the terrace bar and admire the amazing view. Richies will be a regular visit when I come to Brid, which will...be often!More

We had lunch here with family so 4 adults and 2 dogs... what a mistake... After queueing for the food for for 10 minutes I was told I should be at the other end of the cafe.. Went there and no one around and another...customer had been there 10 mins. At this point if we hadn't been with family we would have left. There were just kids in the background in the kitchen - not working - just chatting and on their phones. Eventually I got served and ordered 2 x fish and chips and 2 x baked potato and cheese and coleslaw. I had to ask three times for the rubbish from the previous punters to be removed and the table cleaned. When the food arrived the fish and chips were not good,. greasy fish and soggy chips.. the men ate them as they were starving but both commented very poor quality. the baked potatoes were far worse... they were stone cold and looked very old - you know when all the inside flesh is also brown. Must have been a week old at least. I sent them back. One of the young girls took them back grudgingly and replaced. She didnt replace the extra cheese we had ordered so when asked for she literally slammed it down on the table... At least the cheese did melt a bit on the potatoes this time. It was truly awful - I would recommend avoid.... they have children working in the kitchen, children working tables and the end product of something that should be a simple dish was abysmal...More

We had 41 people in our group (we run social groups for over 50s) some members have mobility problems and some have other needs. We were well looked after. The staff ensured we were able to sit together and that we had everything we needed...nothing was to much trouble. Everyone enjoyed their food especially the fish. The service was excellent and we didn't have to wait long for the food they were efficient and on the ball. Thank you Richies cafe we will be back!More

Always a warm welcome, particularly today when the weather was awful. My wet dog was also welcome. Best cup of tea in Bridlington and hot food is prepared to order. Always visit this cafe when I come to Brid.

We stumbled across this little place during a long weekend in Brid early in the year. From the out set the bar maid ( is that PC these days??) was great and pretty much treated us like locals. She was lovely and very chatty. They...serve a good selection of bears at prices that are akin to you non seaside local boozer. Our Sao was welcomed and the clientele friendly. We didn’t try the food but the menu prices were agreeable. All in all definitely one to try if you’re in Brid. I’d like to see it in full summer as the outside seating looked spot on overlooking the beack.More

No-nonsense, old-skool café serving top-quality, home cooked food at very reasonable prices. Large drinks as standard, three-topping omelettes as standard, delicious home made stews and soups, massive burgers and gigantic breakfasts with all the stuff that other cafes charge extra for as standard. If you...want something more substantial, they do a great curry or lasagne and much, much more - too much to list! Don't walk past if you're down that way - go in. You're bound to find something you like, even if it's only a big mug of freshly brewed coffee and a large home-made cake! And... if you've got your dog with you - no problem - free sausies for every dog!More
