The Hotel Governor on the corner of Madison Street and East Capitol Avenue welcomes a new restaurant catering especially to Capitol and downtown employees.
“It’s something different,” said Rick Burgess, owner of Rick’s Cafe, which opened May 22. “We have a unique menu that’s different from any other place in town.”
Menu items include traditional breakfast options such as bagels, foster-stuffed French toast and fried-egg sandwiches, along with several southwestern-style lunch choices including chipotle chicken, a black bean burger and the Southwest BLT. Rick’s Cafe also offers salads, espresso drinks, organic coffee and a “quiche of the day” breakfast special.
Prices range from $2 for a scone to $8 for specialty sandwiches. Most menu items are in the $6 to $7 range.
Open Monday through Friday, Rick’s Cafe serves breakfast from 7-10:30 a.m. and lunch from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The restaurant offers pick-up lunch via phone or e-mail for orders placed before 10 a.m. noting a desired pick-up time.

Love the buscuits and gravy on Tuesday and Thursday. Get there early, he has sold out a few times. It's not on the menu, but ask for his chips and homemade salsa. Excellent.

Everything I have tried has been very good. The food is healthy and the portions are a very good size. I had chicken and waffles one morning and they were so good. I'm not sure how he makes his syrup but it is awesome. The greek club is really good too if you are looking for a good gyro. It has bacon and lettuce and tomato and a chipotle mayo that gives it a great flavor. I'm going to go get one now.

He has really interesting specials every day, so don't let the small (but excellent) menu scare you off! There was taco salad today, and tomorrow there's a hummus wrap. Last week he had some really great pulled pork sandwiches. And the lattes are fabulous, too - made by an ex-Star****s employee. :)

This is such a great eatery and the owner really knows food. The black bean burger with fresh cilantro is delicious, large and filling. Everything at Rick's seems special and has a 'gourmet' sense about it. The salads are wonderful and the dressings are homemade. I have loved everything I have eaten here and encourage anyone who is downtown to come for breakfast or lunch and be pleasantly be surprised by this new Jefferson City cafe.
