What People Are Saying About Dick's Last Resort

The Owner

Dick's Last Resort

Owner

The massive appeal of Dick's is hard to put your finger on. We don't know if it's the wacky tacky decor, the sometimes sassy service, or the bountiful buckets of fabulous food. We do know the food's hot, the beer's cold and if the music's too loud you're too old. That's right, we're Dick's where it's fun for all, all in fun for all that dare to enter.Check out our Party Pkgs - like the Bachelorette Party - For only $16.99 per person, your choice of 1/2 lb. Drunken Peel 'n Eat Shrimp, 1/2 Honey Roasted or BBQ Chicky, 1/2 Slab BBQ Pork Ribs, Chicky Caesar Salad, Roadhouse Chicky Salad, Mae West…

In Short – Expect a semi-tropical, ultra-casual place with tall drinks and no dress code (unless you count Hawaiian shirts, which are encouraged but not required). Popular with tourists, it's also a fave for bachelorette parties and rowdy brunch crowds. The all-purpose, Southern menu is heavy on seafood and barbecue items, many of which are served in stainless steel pails. Choices include shrimp, king crab, ribs, honey-roasted chicken and sides like cole slaw, fries and honey wheat bread.

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
Tropical drinks add to the festive tone, so seek out sips like the Kahlua colada with cream of coconut and pineapple or the mud slide with Stoli, Kahlua and Irish cream.

Meh. What do you expect from a chain?

by mrsfun101 at Citysearch

Great fun if you're a frat boy or sorority chick. I've been to the original in San Antonio, the second one in San Diego and they're all the same. Go for the party, stay for the abuse.

Attitude of Staff

by supersquirrels at Citysearch

Great location and understood the staff are trying to be rude with the customers but it was over the top. The waitress told us "What do think this place is about? It's in the name, Dicks is all about the sucking" after suggesting my allergies sucked and they couldn't accommodate them. They wrote 'whore' and 'slut' on the paper hats of two women there, and the vulgar, base humour did not stop. We paid for our drinks and left. The owner & bartender seemed decent and funny, but some of his wait staff were beyond funny...just vulgar and rude. I didn't find it funny at all.

Went way too far.

by cutie1234565 at Citysearch

I went there with my few best friends and were only 15 so it seemed really fun and my friend said it was great, but as soon as we got there and the waiter began taking our drinks he asked my friend what'd he liked to drink, since he was supposed to be rude he kept acting like he didn't hear him so the waiter said "you act like a slapped your mom"

not being funny, no one laughed, especially after my friends mom had just DIED 6 months before we came,

their attitudes aren't funny and they just need to know where the lines is and to not cross it, i will never go there again, i almost cried for my friend i felt terrible. it ruined the whole day and even worse was a waste of money. for 6 ppl the total was over $100.

DONT EVER GO THERE. YOU'LL REGRET IT. believe me coming from a 15 year old, i would like places like this but not even ill go back there again. IT WAS STUPID AND A WASTE OF TIME.
