Dick’s Last Resort

Dicks Last Resort has always been known as a crazy fun house of a resturant. . But this has to be the worst Dicks I have ever been to! Our waiter barely tended to us, forgot to order my brothers food, never filled our drinks, and was at the bar talking more then working! NEVER COMING BACK!

I get the concept of the place, but our waiter completely stepped over the line. My waiter came up behind me, stuck his fingers in my ears, and rocked my head back and forth with no warning or permission. Many of the hats around me had racist jokes that were over the line and uncalled for. I think you can be a dick to someone without having to resort to racist and sexist jokes. I felt so uncomfortable and violated by our waiter and I will never come back. My food also tasted like rubber and was ridiculously overpriced.

Been to a couple DLR in other cities. This was by far the worst. Bad service, warm beer and grossly over priced. Bartender never even tried to insult or crack jokes he was just a douche. Beer was so warm I got another beer from the cooler then they figured out the cooler was broke 25 mins later. Still charged me for the beer… skip this place even the TV’s suck.

Place is great. Our waitress wasn’t as rude as I expected but still pretty great. Food was sub par for the price.

This place sucks. Service sucks. Drinks sucks. Food sucks. Their philosophy is to be a «dick» although it’s a front to just suck as an establishment.
…UPDATE: I just woke up this morning and realized this place still sucks… even more than it sucked last night. As the minutes, the hours and the days roll on, this place will continue to suck and suck even more. So much so, that each and every employee can suck a golf ball through a garden hose… with ease.

I go there expecting a few laughs I heard all about this place, how hilarious it is. The waiter is trying to hard and failing at being a funny «dick». The hats they gave us were so hackneyed and stale Carlos Mencia and Dane Cook would be embarrassed. I ordered fish and chips the fish tasted exactly like chicken so they obviously use one frying vat for both meats. I left with a bad taste in my mouth and annoyed memory.

Stopped in here after a hot afternoon walking around downtown Dallas. Just had a beer while sitting at the bar. They had a decent selection of draft beers. The interior and the menu were reminiscent of the their San Antonio Riverwalk (original location I think). The bar decorations were interesting. Next time in Dallas I would like to return.

Staff is rude and food is poor. Not to mention way over priced. Servers told us to move the hell out of the way. We were in disbelief. Last time we go there that’s for sure…

Overpriced food and an overall awkward experience. Go somewhere else.

The hostess was so unforgivably rude to our group last night that we left and went to another restaurant for dinner. Not only did she act annoyed when we walked up and asked for a table, she had the audacity to outright offend one of our dinner companions… he was talking on his cellphone outside on the empty patio, which upset the hostess, and she said to him «get off your phone. This isn’t a gay bar.» With so many people out of work these days, rude employees have no business being employed in the service/​hospitality business.

This place is a unique kind of restaurant because they insult you and think it’s funny. The thing is, they are usually right! I like that their humor is self deprecating while staying sort of funny.
They routinely make large parties of drunken people wear dunce hats and they make fun of everybody that dares to dine here. Most of the waitresses and waiters are genuinely funny, and they can take insults as fast as they can dish them out.
Pros: Prices are not AS inflated as they are at other themed restaurants in the neighborhood (Hard Rock, I’m looking at you). Good attitudes by wait staff. Excellent location in Victory Park/​West End. If Hooters is too crowded, you can come over to Dick’s and there will always be plenty of space. Great sense of humor by the management.
Cons: Shitty TVs. Not enough TVs. Wait staff is fully dressed. Draft beer selection is lacking.

Sleazy people. Had high expectations. It was just awkward and the menu was overpriced and youl don’t get very much on the plate. They don’t have prices on any of their drinks on the menu they provide so you can over spend. I paid for my girlfriend and i and it came out to be $ 50. Just for 2 orders and 2 sodas.
I’d rather eat gas station food, at least I’d be getting my money’s worth. This location sucks, never been to any other locations but I don’t plan on it. They charge you for stupid shit, I’m surprised they didn’t charge me 5 bucks per refill (of course without notifying me I’m being charged)
Very frugal and sleazy place. Also the main projector was playing a live NBA game, and it looked like I was watching a game on YouTube from 2002. Will never come back.

Would give no stars if I could. Long story, short. My food tasted like it was made last week. And the catfish was literally rubber (my sister ordered the catfish and I have the chicken fried chicken)
I came for my sisters birthday and I was extremely excited. I couldn’t wait to experience the infamous Dick’s Last Resort.
The whole experience was awkward. The waiter was weird and he was a dick, but it was above and beyond. He failed to mention the drink I ordered was $ 20 and to add sour cream to my mashed potatoes was $ 2 extra.
It ended up being over $ 40 for just me! For 4 people it totaled up over $ 120 OH AND an 18% GRATUITY WAS ALREADY INCLUDED because we split the check two ways.
Literally would’ve rather eaten subway, McDonald’s, or better yet a QuikTrip for my sister’s birthday.

First off, you should know that they are going to try to be rude to you. It’s what they do. Our waiter was pretty funny. He mocked me for being bald, like I didn’t see that one coming. I don’t understand the purpose but it’s their gimmick and they don’t go overboard with it. Just try to have fun with it.
I ended up here, like most people, because I was at a nearby venue and didn’t want to pay for parking again. It works out great as far as that is concerned. Especially, if you just paid $ 15 for valet nearby. You can walk here from AA Center or House of Blues.
The food was pretty good. They have a lot of things on the menu. From chicken fried steak to ribs. I ordered the CFS and my girlfriend ordered the ribs, so I got to try both. Neither one of them stood out as something I would go back for. The prices seemed a bit steep but I was satisfied with the portion sizes. You can probably end up with a go-​to box.
This isn’t a place any «serious» drinker would go to drink. They specialized in the typical touristy, super sweet and syrupy rum based drinks. I did try one. It was ok but I’d rather have a beer. They only carry the most basic beers though.
My expectation weren’t set too high but it was actually better than I thought. I had to at least give it 3 stars.

The service is really not bad. They make «sarcastic“comments and write funny things in your paper hats, but other than that their service good.
The food on the other hand could improve. We had a Swiss and mushrooms burgers and they are not terrible but could be better.

I told her, I don’t tip 38% on bar food. I was being very generous at 20%.
Read on…
Beware the waitress tried to pull a fast one on our party of four she asked if they wanted two separate checks we said yes.
When we requested are tab she did not inform us that they had added an 18% gratuity to each of our tabs.
I have never been to a restaurant that added gratuity to a party of two!
We happen to see it on a sign posted up high as we were leaving.
We Finally located our waitress now sitting at the bar, she asked us rudely what we wanted. We told her we to our tab we may have over tipped her.
She said «You did. I Forgot to tell you that an 18% tip was added to all separate checks»
I told her, I don’t tip 38% on bar food. I was being very generous at 20%. She reluctantly return our money. Which was almost $ 40 in gratuities.
We will not be back. The food is not that great. And I don’t like being ripped off. They really are Dicks working there!!!

This was the perfect spot for a pseud-​tourist like me with a whacked out sense of humor. My boss tells me «don’t be surprised if they’re rude or insult you, it’s part of their schtick». So we walk in and one of the T shirts on the wall says, «They have hooters, we have Dick’s»…their name for the all male wait staff. The bartender sitting down looking at us enter and yells, «Just sit anywhere» and keeps watching the basketball game on the big screen. The Dick’s waiter comes out and gets our drink and says to me, «You’re wearing glasses, you must have an eye problem!» Ha ha, I wanted to say, «Yeah my eyes are so bad I can’t see how ugly you are» but held back with the bosses there. So, we start talking about where we parked and the formerly rude waiter gets nice and explains where the free parking is for next time.
The menu is pretty expansive, and the food that we had was decent. I wanted to try the ribs and chicken wings with fries… then thought I would want chicken fried steak. and even considered the catfish. The bosses both had the grilled chicken on lettuce salad, looked rather plain but they both liked it. I opted for the lunch crab cakes, two recent sized cakes with a scoop of white rice and some steamed broccoli with Cheese and a side of tartar sauce. It was good almost cafeteria style comfort food, not bad for the $ 12 price tag. The waiter was pretty good about fillilng our drinks. It got a little crowded at 12:30. But I was told the mass of humanity comes in during Friday and Saturdayh nights, and you’ll sit next to someone you don’t know because there are long tables on benches. There is a House of Blues across the street and can be quite a wait.
It was funny reading the T shirts with the rude statements, especially since I had to complete the company’s sexual harrassment training later. I doubt those t shirts would be allwoed in any regular office. But that’s part of their gig. I’d love to see a super shy or snooty patron get slapped up side their attitude. I was hoping to wear one of those hats they make with the paper placemat with some insulting words like «I was stupid enough to wear this hat». But today, there was none of that. Hopefully next time… I’d definitely come back.

We had a blast here! The fiancée and I thought we were going on a romantic date and stumbled in this place! The atmosphere was great and it is definitely an experience.
The food was okay, but I don’t thing you come to a place like this for the food. BBQ wings were good and the crab legs were just okay. If you are use to good seafood, don’t bother getting it here. Go for some of the other options.
TIP: get the big beers of margaritas, they let you keep the glasses! They wrapped all our glasses in paper and put it in a big box and labeled it «Big Box of Dildos!». It was a little awkward walking out of the restaurant with a box of dildos and our big paper hats they made up but it was well worth it!
Great date night idea and prepare to have fun and go go with the punches. Don’t get too offended, it’s all in good fun! :)

It’s been 9 years since I’ve been to dicks. Last time was in Chicago. I ordered the crab cakes and they served them on an upside down tin pale which I thought was clever. They were some of the best crab cakes I’ve ever had!
Fast forward to last weekend. I just moved to Dallas and was excited to be at dicks again for those crab cakes. I ordered them of course. Unfortunately they are completely different 9 years later and now just average frozen food aisle grade. Nothing to do with this location in particular, just dicks corporate to blame. Disappointed!

Dick’s Last Resort is a decent chain, generally found in fairly touristy areas. This Dick’s is no different – it’s situated in the sweet spot between the West End and Victory Park /​American Airlines Center. Therefore, the location is very convenient for folks touring the West End, and also for folks that are going to a hockey /​basketball game /​event.
Dick’s is certainly a chain with flair – seating at the restaurant is all at large, long tables (not individual ones – think, «German Biergarten» Style seating.) Dick’s «gimmick» (if you will) is the servers are unafraid to be rude to you. This is generally pretty awesome.
Seating is similar to a German Biergarten — you’ll be seated at a long table, possibly with others sitting right next to you. This makes it awesome for groups, but keep in mind when it gets busy, you may be eating next to a stranger.
Here’s some specific food reviews to some of the dishes at Dick’s:
–Firecracker Salmon — Good, if you like horseradish. However, I recommend the…
–Bourbon Chicken — Very, very good. (And not terrible for you!)
–Crab Cakes — Good, but come with a lot of Peppers and not a ton of crab.
–Salsa and Queso — The salsa is a «roasted tomato» type salsa that’s pretty good. The queso is more like a «Queso Compuesto» (which has actual chili mixed in.) Vegetarians can probably request that they shouldn’t put meat in the queso…
–The fried stuff in general is all pretty good.
If you go before Stars or Mavs games, the location is very convenient when parking around victory park. Ask for a red discount card that will get you (15%?) off your bill when you go before and after games.
Also, if you are in the neighborhood around Halloween, go. Some of the server’s Halloween costumes are quite funny.
Overall — Dick’s is a gimmicky place, but the food’s actually pretty good! It’s worth a stop…
