Ritas Cafe in Lancaster

Oh my goodness, do not eat here! We visited for lunch on the vintage by the sea weekend we knew it would be busy but oh my goodness we ordered pizza which couldn’t be eaten as it was mainly grease and very cheap cheese! Bacon sandwich,and a toastie. my toastie look like it hadn’t been anywhere near a heating element let alone a toasting machine! Was very cheap but so was the quality! and the serving staff seem to have left their manners at home. I won’t be bothering again even though I visit Morecambe very regularly. Left disappointed and still hungry.

This place hit the spot. Tea and food. The chaps that served the food were on the ball with nothing being any trouble. Next time I am in Morecambe I'll drop in for a bite to eat!! Thanks.

Fabulous Food had Chips and Cheese was yummy and hot and DietCoke Till Staff and cook were brilliant The waiting on staff were fantastic nothing was any trouble for Lynn, Logan, Tom and Millie Fabulous food at a very reasonable price. Rita's is a must if youre in Morecambe. If I could give 10 stars I would

Omg typical greasy spoon. Smelt dreadful food took a while to come. We had bacon butties on cheapest bread was horrid. Place was filthy saw lots of black mould on walls. Toilets dirty. Will not be going back.

Sadly we only found this cafe on the last day of our trip to Morecambe otherwise we definitely would have visited more than once! My partner and I both had the Full Monty breakfast and wow what an amazing breakfast it was! Freshly cooked, absolutely delicious and fantastic value for money! The toast that accompanied it was thick and buttery and the coffee was really tasty! Also the staff were lovely! If you're in Morecambe you have to try this place!

Visited whilst visiting some friends at their caravan in Morecambe. I've never seen such a busy cafe. Staff always on the ball and getting meals and drinks out to the customers. The menu is very extensive and great value for money. It's simple food at great prices. Cafe was lovely and clean and very well presented. It doesn't take cards but I see that the cafe wants you to keep cash use it or loose it. Personally I think you would see more custom if you did take a card but I'm happy to use cash.

Absolutely great food and service. Always friendly and even found and kept my purse safe when I stupidly lost it. Thank you to all concerned 👏👏👏👏

Good meals as always. Clean and food good. Staff polite. Been here before for lunch and coffee. Give it a go. Very handy for a walk to the car boot sale and market.

Nice friendly cafe the only downfall is they need more extraction from the kitchen when cooking had a jacket spud very nice 👌

The food was good but the service was amazing! Me and my partner came in as it was somewhere he used to pass by a lot as a child. We came in and found out it was cash and my partner promptly went looking for a cash machine whilst I sat down and waited for the food. None of the cash machines were working and after waiting about thirty minutes for him he called to say he couldn’t get out cash! Kerri!! The absolute gem, let me use my banking app to pay her, and I was very apologetic but she was soooo sweet! Thank you so so so much for the belter food and amazing lovely service!

lovely breakfast venue eggs little undercooked for my husbands likeling but netherthe less the value is great staff super hard working and attentive

We were in Morecambe after visiting the festival market . Arrived around 11 and had a fabulous breakfast . We were lucky with the weather and sat outside the cafe . Great service great honest home cooked breakfast . Very reasonable prices . Would recommend this lovely traditional cafe .

We stopped in here on our way back home after a very wet and windy night in Morecambe. It was recommended by one of our party who had been here many years before. It was a real throwback but a pleasant one. We didn’t fancy a big breakfast even though it was available at just £7.99. Instead we went for eggs on toast and a small breakfast accompanied by mugs of tea and coffee. We were a little disappointed that there wasn’t a poached egg option but the fried eggs were very good with bright orange yolks….always a good sign. It really was like going back in time and so was the bill….just £13.90 in total for the three meals and three mugs of tea and coffee. Will we return? Yep we certainly will 👍🏻

Excellent quality food and fantastic prices, service was a bit slow but they had plenty of staff and could easily remedy this. We only wanted a cup of tea but when we saw the quality of the cakes we ordered these as well. Unfortunately we only got to vist Morecambe for one day despite only being 3 miles away, but we only visiting for 5 days but we will definately be going back for lunch.

Quick service, polite staff, excellent food and very reasonable prices. Family of four ,2 adults and 2 kids had lunch, desert and hot drinks for less than £30 and it was just really good.

Great little cafe that could be easily missed. Value for money. Quick service despite being buzy. Shame the young girl on the till was a bit miserable

Went for coffee and scone to find it was closed .And for sale sign up. Wants to up date website.

The prices were like going back into the 90s......I had Chicken & Chips (& Sals) which was only £5.75 !!!! So cheap and the Chicken was cooked to perfection.

Would give it 5 but burned the toast really badly !.Super cafe great value and today a great bonus of two lovely sisters singing live .

We have had the Sunday lunch here before. So today we both went for the Lasgene. My husband had chips and I had salad. The chips were very dry and cooked just right. We had coffees too. Later on in the day we Sent back for a cool drink. This time we got a table outside. Their was two girls singing and they were very good and both had good vocials. Well done to Ritas for this little extra touch.

Live locally and never been so me and my husband had a walk down early for some breakfast. We had seen some bad reviews and presumed it's because of the busy mid day rush being in the summer holidays. Was a pleasant experience. Nice friendly staff. Breakfast wasn't 5* but for the price, it was what you would expect. Nice to be able to sit out. Would come again but would avoid busy times in the summer as I imagine it can get rammed

Ordered a salad that was very basic & little meat ! Ordered chicken & chips my friend has to leave the chicken as was so tough & dry ! Staff not friendly won't go again mainly due to the food

Been coming to this lovely cafe for 10+ years now and this is the first year the cafe has really gone down hill. There is no care and consideration gone into any of the meals. There’s no listening to customers requirements or a friendly atmosphere and will sadly not be returning. Disappointment is an understatement

Went in on sunny afternoon. Was very busy and chaotic. Waited 45mins for food, when it arrived it was cold. The children were getting aggravated with the wait. In the end i asked for my money back, no apology was given by the lady behind...

Only came here because they openly move people to fit customers in, it’s says this in writing inside. 2 individuals hogging 2 booths who wasn’t eating yet with plenty of smaller tables to choose, asked cafe staff twice with zero assistance given. Walk 100m up...

We visited Rita's for lunch when we were in Morecambe. It was really busy & bustling, the menu looked extensive and prices were reasonable. We ordered a cottage pie & a corned beef pie, both with chips and peas. They were both homemade which is...

Came in today for first time with family and will definitely come back. Two of us had the lasagna and one had the all day breakfast, all the food was tasty and good value but in particular the fried eggs were done to perfection not...

Absolute shocker. Fish chips and peas. Don’t bother folks. The fish was obviously from Iceland or somewhere similar and not as you would think a proper fish tea etc. You’d think on the Prom in a Seaside town it would be fresh and battered properly....

A good value place for breakfast considering its seafront location. Perfect for loading up for the day.

Go here every Sunday for breakfast, excellent service, very friendly staff and a fab view over the bay!!

We had a Sunday lunch here this sunday. The dinner was very good. Plenty of meat,vegetables roast potatoes,mash potatoes and 2 Yorkshire puddings. Plenty of gravy. We were that full no room for a sweet. So we will always go here when in Morecambe.

Went here after reading reviews on trip advisor.I was a bit disappointed on my breakfast.Was v average at best.Don’t think food was of great quality.

Visited here 4 times during our stay in Morecambe and the food was excellent every time. It is a great place for the whole family and so cheap! We couldnt believe for a family of 6 it cost is maximum £30 a time including drinks.

Great service, brilliant food at exceedingly reasonable price plus wall of Man U memorabilia. Highly recommend.

We moved to Morecambe in 2014 and decided to have a weekly breakfast treat at Rita’s cafe following recommendations from the locals. It is dog friendly which was brilliant as our pet could come with us. There were certain things on the standard breakfast that...

Not a cafe for those who want posh surroundings. If its good traditional English food at reasonable prices you are looking for then Rita's is for you. Coffee is instant but food quality is reliably good and served till late in the afternoon..

You are not made to feel welcome Staff are abrupt and miserable looking . Only Kerry and Donna make an effort . If it is their day off ...ugh !! Orders taken by unfriendly cashier and no form of communication made . Abrupt to the...

Great service got the fish and chips was very nice but should have had the roast beef dinner the look and smell at it past my table made me want a return date. Left with two trifles for a treat at home would advise anyone...

I often visit dog friendly cafes when out walking so called in here but couldn't go up to the counter with the dogs so because I was alone had to wait for someone to notice me...15mins. Every other place Ive been offer a dog sausage...

Great old school cafe , good honest food with pleasant staff & great surroundings Imo on face value probably the best cafe in morcombe

Really great, lovely food, friendly staff and good value for money and can take a dog in, would highly recommend.

Excellent basic English fodder, including Jacket spuds but they don't take card payments which is a nuiscance

We were down Morecambe for a short bresk. We decided to have a coffee. It was very nice. The food that other customers were having they looked very nice. Next time in Morecambe we will eat herr.

So grim that despite ordering food, the mugs were so dirty that we chose to leave before our food arrived. Won't return again.

Thank you to the team at Rita’s for a great breakfast to get us ready for our Way of the Roses ride - a wonderful morning sitting outside and enjoying the fab food and coffee

Lovely home cooked food.friendly staff and good service.one of the best cafes in morecombe would recommend a visit not expensive

The breakfast was amazing but unfortunately the young waitress wasn't the most pleasant which marred the experience

Staff were rude after giving me the wrong change, and then lying about me not giving them a £10 note to pay for my hot chocolate.

Have eaten here several times, and have always had excellent food, which is definitely good value for money. Staff are always friendly, and ensure that the tables are always kept clean. It is also great to be able to sit inside with our 2 small...

Was looking for somewhere for the four of us to be able to sit and chat and have a coffee and stumbled on Rita’s. What a great cafe and friendly service. Nice day so we sat outside which was lovely and watched the world go...

1st time to Morecombe. Parked next to this cafe and glad we went in.Home made steak pie with chips peas and gravy. The best pie i have ever had.

We went there for our breakfast 2 days running, great value and very tasty, also when we walked past in the afternoon there was always people sitting outside having meals, a really good sign of how popular Rita's is.

A typical Cafe but with excellent food and service. A great place to meet. In the summer there is tables outside where you can watch the world go by

My first visit to Rita’s Cafe and it did not disappoint.If you want excellent customer service and quick cafe grub,then this is place to go. On a cold wet Saturday,we rocked up at Rita’s quite late in the day, definitely after 4pm.We ordered a corned...

We visit Morecambe several times a year and always visit Ritas. We love it! Staff are amazing. Food is cheap and very cheerful. Lovely friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Cant wait to return. :) x

Stay away this is probably one of the worse breakfast we have ever had ! Cups dirty , seats greasy , breakfast was just deep fried and walked out stinking of the place . Stay away !!!

Good food at excellent prices. Nice staff. As far as I could tell the food is made on site and there was no reason for complaint. Will certainly go again next time in Morecambe.

seen people complain the fish and chips are frozen not fresh .the fish is excellent and so are the chips. £23 for 6 of us to eat with drinks . bargain. £4.50 for fish chips and peas eating in. slightly noisy table staff but hey...

Discovered this little gem of a Cafe a year ago whilst on holiday, we're here again for a short break for my 65th birthday, so we decided to go to Rita's again for lunch ( twice this week ). My partner & I ( on...

Garbage. Frozen fish and chips. If you sell fish/chips state they are frozen in the menu. Fresh they are not .

We were lucky to find a table as it was really busy. We were told it's worth the wait and it was. Lovely beef roast and desserts. I would highly recommend Lumpy Bumpy Cheese cake!!! Good food and quick service. Staff were lovely, one in...

Lovley place food great hot and its a good price to staff great to nice and clean lots of choice to we will go back again food was lovley

Another visit to this lovely cafe. Sea view and lovely grub. Pudding are to die for. Where else could you get sticky toffee pudding for £2. Very large helping too.

had a lunch at Rita’s cafe great service and food great value and very good tasty I would recommend good place for a snack dinner deserts are yummy would definitely go again the waitress Kiera was so nice and friendly with customers

Not for us, husband went to order bacon barm but when he saw the cook (young lad) getting black bits off the bacon he decided To order a simple ham toastie which was cheese! We ordered a hot beef and onion barm which was served...

Cooking a roast dinner for one is a thankless task. Rita's to the rescue. When the family is out and you need a Sunday roast you won't get better value. A full plate served with a smile.

warm friendly vibrant cafe.. staff old school and good at there job. plenty of seating outside.. good cooked breakfast. good waitress service with a smile.. defo going back..

Great recommendation from a couple of regulars, chuffed to bits we tried you out, great home cooked food, service was spot on

It was amazing I definitely recommend it. It was absolutely filling. Definitely returning. The service is incredible.

While we were on a day trip to Morecambe today we decided to have lunch at this cafe. As we had our little corgi dog with us and as it was a warm day we had our lunch at one of the outside tables. The...

Is exactly what I wanted. Decent proper cafe breakfast without the frills. Proper red sauce in proper cafe bottles. The woman serving was superb no nonsense cafe owner or manager. The girl serving needs to calm her enthusiasm. Too much too early. She can’t be...

Positives about this place are the staff are really friendly. After that it goes down hill rather quickly. If your after a cheap meal that's tasteless the your at the right place. I mean this must be the only seaside cafe that sells frozen fish...

I’m not a cafe person but have to confess the food was good. Large portions. I was stuffed. Staff very jolly. Eat in or out.

I ordered coffee plus a toasted currant teacake, got the coffee which was good, but over 20 minutes later still not got toasted teacake and had to leave, they had forgot me, got my money back. Also the lotus biscuit with the cofee was soft...

We stopped here for breakfast. The breakfast was lovely, lovely cuppa too! The staff are friendly, you have to watch out for the seagulls but they do warn you about them! The breakfast we ordered was 2 bacon, 2 sausage, egg, beans, 2 hash browns,...

we just arrived at Morecambe and was hungry had tried another place but service was crap stopped Ritas Cafe as leavening car park had fish and chips it was excellent the cappuccino wasn't great but don't care food was

Basic food cooked and delivered by efficient, hard working staff at a very good price. Had a pie and cheese toasty. On the seafront and we enjoyed it.

We ate breakfast every day for the week we were in morecombe and we had good polite friendly service every time from different people. We also had two . meals in the afternoon again delicious piping hot and quick as it would be at home...

Absolutely fantastic good value for money, wife had meat free breakfast I had all day breakfast good value for money service pleasant will come again

went there last Sunday, we had a table in the shade and it was nippy. Went with Goddaughter and her mum. Food was plentiful I had Cottage Pie - came with Chips and peas, others had burger and baby Sausage. When I saw them serve a Sunday roast I wished I had ordered one. So I will return. Been several times over past couple of years and will be back.

Great atmosphere Always good, always friendly Good quality simple home cooked food Love this place Best cafe in Morecambe

Huge Full monty breakfast at Rita's all cooked perfectly Friendly staff just what we wanted feeling full and happy

Great food with some real traditional fare at a very reasonable price. Staff are always friendly. Love this place, not just a cafe it provides a social service too.

This has always looked worth a visit so decided a good English breakfast would help us start the day. Fully expected a warm cheery welcome even in Covid-19 times but alas sadly disappointed. We were met with a surly staff member with clearly no charisma, food mediocre, tasteless and unappetising. Had to pay before we could even sample anything. All I can say is who wrote the previous reviews because it certainly did no match our experience

Prices are really competitive . The model obviously works because the cafe is always busy. Don't expect a posh place but the menu is extensive and offers good value.

Lovely little cafe pleasant staff delicious food good prices a Morecambe icon and well deserved, bacon is delicious

Absolutely fantastic Staff brilliant Food sublime Good all round atmosphere Great service Very pleased

My wife and I were strolling along the seafront, and saw Rita's in the distance. We decided we would call for coffee and cake . When we got there, we saw it was very popular with plenty of social distance amongst the outdoor tables. We decided to sit inside, and waited by the door to be seated. As per the sign on the door. There were plenty of staff rushing about serving and bringing orders out so we had, what seemed like a long wait. But probably no more than three or four minutes. We were shown to table 2 and given a plastic coated menu. We were both surprised by the prices, nothing over a fiver. The coffee and cake idea went from our mind, we decided to have our lunch. We both decided on " chicken dinner" we had chicken quarter mashed potatoes roast potatoes. Mixed vegetables a yorkshire pudding and gravy for £4:25 each coffee £1;00 each and something called lumpy bummpy this was chocolate mousse cheese cake cream pecan nuts and chocolate sauce covered in squirt cream. £2:00 each. And I had a extra coffee, all under £20 the place is spotless. The toilets are very small but very clean. The staff are helpful and attentive without being too intrusive. O and the walls are covered in man utd memrobilia. But I don't suppose you can have everything.

Great Welcome, Kerri was so bubbly and a great server, we had a lovely breakfast, great atmosphere in the Cafe, thanks to all.

Been here twice now after holidaying in Morecambe each time has been fantastic. Really good food and very friendly service. I'm these Covid times also feels very safe with plenty of precautions in place. Recommended

As most visitors will realise, Morecambe is slightly past it’s prime as a seaside resort. There’s a lot that’s a little bit old fashioned, and that includes Rita’s Cafe. Old fashioned, I should say in absolutely the best way possible! There was a cafe there when I came as a small child in the 1970s, and it wasn’t that different. Great home cooking (the big breakfast is brilliant), quick service, friendly staff and (for now) fully applied COVID precautions. I’ll definitely be back!

Rita's is a most brilliant cafe which is on seafront at Morecambe! It has now reopened but there are relaxed lockdown rules to adhere to. They include hand sanitizers, before entering, social-distancing, and being directed to table booths, if any available. During dry days there are seats and tables out the front. At the present time the staff will serve you. There is a wide range of main meals on the menu, from large or small breakfasts, roast dinners, curries and pasta, and salads. For snacks there are piping hot soups, burgers and sandwiches. Then there are sweets, scones (afternoon teas anyone?) and delicious cakes! Then there are coffees of various types, in cups and cafetiers (the latter type is my favourite!), and cold drinks. They also sell take-away food, and have an ice cream booth! The lockdown is slowly relaxing, so a visit to this sea-side town and Rita's should be on your list of places to visit!

Great little cafe on the front next to the festival market. Great breakfasts and home cooked food .... good A must for Manchester United fans as lots of memorabilia in the walls and lots of reading material. Not taking away from the tasty food tho . Very friendly staff too

Great food and friendly service. Can’t beat the sticky toffee pudding and ice cream! Amazing value for money.

I often go to this café for food and drinks. Every thing is good especially food and service. When I get visitors wanting a small lunch we go to Ritas Café. Would definitely recommend it.

Cracking place Had a wonderful breakfast and the place was heaving and thats a sign they are good at what they do. I sat in a corner and niticed one of the staff was lovely she went round talking to everyone one by one like they were close friends a very nice touch Will 100 percent go back and after talking to a mate next time im in that area i will be trying the burger iv been told it is AMAZING !
