Dick’s Last Resort

Fellow Unilocalers… I really wish I had checked this place out before were seated… Wow… My fiancé caught a glimpse of the Dick’s sign when we were leaving the aquarium and just had to have it. Long story short… We were there for almost two hours… We cashed in on the free appetizer (thanks Unilocal!) and the waitress forgot the rest of our order. She was very rude towards us pretty well the entire time… And sent the manager to our table on her own without us even asking… Heck she didn’t make us our hats until we were there for over an hour… The food was sub par and not what we ordered at all… We had to stop and get our daughter Dairy Queen after we left! The manager acted like we were the ass holes… And we still paid for our drinks which was $ 55.00 Never again will we return…

Two stars may be generous. Being at other restaurants like this before I had high expectations and Dick’s Last Resort failed. The food was way overpriced especially for the quality. The humor was eh. I had a margarita that was supposedly the best in town. Not so much. Sure it tasted pretty good but it also had little to no tequila in it. I was on an empty stomach and was worried about drinking it but drank he whole thing before the food arrived and felt nothing… The ribs were dry, my coleslaw was frozen. Just not much to say other than stay away and save your money. I didn’t read reviews on Unilocal before I went and now I’m kicking myself.

Know what you are getting into! This place specializes in the «Dick’s» atmosphere, not really food.
Some friends and I came to get a late night bite after a comedy show and we were THOSE people. You know, the table that comes in drunk at the last minute right before the kitchen closes. We did call ahead, and on that particular Saturday night they said the kitchen closed at midnight.
Our server was funny and sassy, just like the theme implies. I did ask for water and she literally told me they «don’t do that» and never did bring any water out. We ordered cocktails and snacks. Just an order of nachos and ta-​chos, which are tater tot nachos. Our drinks were great and came in a your choice of a fun souvenir glass and after that our server gave everyone a paper hat. My favorite said «I sprained my wrist watching Magic Mike.» As other reviewers said the place is community style seating and the floor was kind of a mess. The food was alright, like processed cheese and mystery meat. When we were given two orders of regular nachos we didn’t bother asking for our correct order because it was so late and our server went and got us the correct order of ta-​chos! Those were much better than the original nachos.
It was fun to go check out, but keep in mind this isn’t particularly family friendly and my experience with the food wasn’t great.

I like the general idea of this restaurant, get made fun of and have a lot of good laughs. However, I feel like there should be an age restriction for this type of place. The whole idea revolves around dirty humor. Their menu has adult references in it like a shot named «BJ shot» and an explanation «hands behind your back. Don’t use your teeth.» Also the waitresses write insults onto paper and wrap it into a hate and places it on each guest’s head. Usually the insults are sexual. This was very awkward when there were young children there, and even kids who can read and know what it means. Besides that, our service was extremely slow. We were there for 2 hours… One of my friends ordered crab legs and they were ice cold. Their specialty drinks displayed on the menu had no prices listed, each drink was $ 25 (even though they were meant to be shared between 2 people that’s still expensive.) Our bill was rung up incorrectly. Overall bad experience, won’t be going back.

I took some friends from out of town here under the recommendation of someone who lives here who clearly had no taste. I literally have zero hope for any decent meal here. I ordered crab legs and I know it probably isn’t the best idea to order these at a tourist trap but I did lol. Worse than I could have imagined… I got ice cold crab legs and no bucket to put them in. The food was worse than resort food that had been microwaved. I feel stupid having taken my friends here. Our bill was jacked to hell and I’ll never be back.

The premiss is fun but the food is terrible! Philly cheese steak had whole slices of roast beef (like lunch meat) and square slices of American cheese. Disgusting.
I should also add that I expressed my disgust with the server and he left more than ½ of my sandwich and still did not get a credit.

Went this past weekend for a birthday dinner for my grandmother. The photos of people’s hats are basically all they write on the hats. Wish they had more phrases/​jokes to use because we had looked at all of these before going, and got all the same ones. Food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great, and was not warm when we got it. Fries were good, and the redneck fondue was awesome-​cheese and tater tots. Food was also very pricy. Fun atmosphere. Wouldn’t go back because of the quality of food-​I will pay more if it tastes awesome.

This location is similar to others. Two of us had a quick dinner before watching a movie. We sat at the bar and were surprised that the servers were all extremely nice. We didn’t get any insults or sass.
The food was pretty good. The BBQ Combo wasn’t the best BBQ in Cincinnati but was satisfying. BBQ Nachos were also pretty good.
In case it matters, the servers were pretty good looking.

Okay, I knew what to expect going in as far as the service but there were definitely some surprises

Community seating — I guess it’s getting more common, just not my cup of tea. Most of the table was empty but their trashed remained.
Trashed floor. There was trash everywhere. Perhaps because the servers often ‘make it rain’ with napkins… But there was other trash too.
Overpriced menu– the food wasn’t bad, just overpriced. I had salmon, rice, and corn… It was actually pretty good. It was $ 18.99 and would have been about $ 13.00 at comparable restaurants
All that being said, we had a great time, and our server was very pleasant in a rude sort of way. So my advice is to go, have a couple of drinks, and take it all in. Not sure if I’ll go back, but I don’t regret the time we shared.

Despicable…
My daughter asked to spend her 13^th birthday there with friends. I get the concept of DLR, but how would you feel about hats that read:
Future bra stuffer
Future gold digger
Future trophy wife
Will strip through community college
Will strip through law school
Glad I’m cute… not too smart
Funny is one thing… but this is highly inappropriate for 12 and 13 year old girls. Shame on you!

I came here for a friends bachelorette party and I didn’t really understand the concept until we got there. They were nicely rude when they went to sit us down which was funny. I don’t really like the concept of no real menu on the tables or the throwing of the straws at us since I don’t feel like grabbing my straw from the floor. The food was okay, I only got the wings and they seemed under cooked.
I felt that our waiter could have paid more attention to the bride to be instead of the other guest since we had to ask him to make her a hat after he did the rest of our group. I felt he should have made her feel special since it was her celebration.

This is one of those places where you pay for the experience. Our server was fantastic at his job. He was sassy and rude just like you would expect from a place called Dick’s.
The food was decent, but was essentially extremely overpriced Applebee’s. And the huge margarita you’re tempted with that has no price listed anywhere? Yeah, 30 effing dollars. The gimmick of keeping the glass isn’t even a treat because what are you ever going to drink out of a 32oz margarita glass? (Unless you REALLY love margaritas at home.)
It was fun for one time, but I’ll never be back unless I want to leave completely broke. Both emotionally and financially.

If you’ve been one you’ve been to all. The food is mediocre, but I collect the beer glasses because they have the city’s name on them. We’ve been to Gatlinburg, PCB Florida, Chicago and now Newport. The experience is the best part about them because I have a house full of smart alecks so they belong here. We laugh the whole time we’re here so that’s why we keep visiting them whenever we see them.

Haha this place is a trip!
First off, to all the people that give bad reviews bc of how you were treated?! News flash! That’s like going to Hooters and being offended for seeing cleavage.
Erica was our server and she’s a boss. We had fun with her. She was witty and funny.
The food is pretty good, I was just a little surprised by the small entrée choices. Appetizers are typical, fried pickles, nachos, etc. but the tater tots! Let’s talk about them! So good lol who doesn’t love tater tots.
All in all its a fun place. Be light hearted about it and give the servers a little taste of their own medicine. Have fun with it!

I know that you go there for the experience, not the food, but both kinda sucked. I was expecting our server to be more interactive and engaging/​insulting, but she wasn’t. She sold us on a beer-​rita, which is NOT worth $ 25. I don’t think there was any booze in it besides the beer. The food menu is all fried stuff. The only good part was that my friend and I split an order of fried pickles, and they brought out a second basket because the first one didn’t have enough. Othewise, I’d skip this place.

I enjoyed this place. Love the sarcasm and making fun of us. Only had the catfish bites and the beer. A bit high priced but the experience is worth it

They pretty much ran us right out of the store before we could even order drinks. This place is called dicks not Assholes.
I totally understand this concept and have seen it before at other locations in the world but these people at this location are out of control. We actually looked for a long time to find this place.
We asked to be sat away from the window bc it was very hot outside and the windows were open. So they sat us next to the window. Slammed down our menus and were promptly called strippers.
When we asked for water she said two toilet waters for you.
While, she was away we talked about maybe finding a place with air conditioning we had only ordered water and weren’t in the mood for the amount of rude that was coming out of our waitress’s mouth. We told her when she came back that we were going to find a place with air conditioning and we apologized and she responded with «after I got you this water !!» «You better tip me at least two dollars right now.» And then she yelled at the whole store that we wanted air conditioning. We were then told by the other servers more than once that the window was air conditioning. Then they said what are you gonna do when it really gets hot?
Well, I’m gonna find a nice big pool and drink pina coladas lady! She ended the whole thing by bringing her child to our table to beg. We were already on our feet. Worst execution ever. I wasn’t going anywhere to pay someone to yell at me. Who cares about the food. You failed before the kitchen even warmed. Didn’t die … One star

I get their theme and it would be funny if they still provided good service, but that’s not the case… their theme turned into piss poor service!
We were told by our waitress that couldn’t have water because she didn’t work for free. Then she threw an empty glass at us and told us to get our own water. I was also given a drink I didn’t order… when I specifically said I didn’t want it… bc the proceeds went to the children.
Lastly, when we decided the place wasn’t for us… we had a pen thrown at us from across the bar and it flew to the other side of the room.
So not cool… needless to say… I won’t be returning!

I’m not easily offended and I get the concept of this place, but the only thing worse than the wait staff here is the overpriced food and drinks. Drinks are ridiculously expensive (about $ 10 for a beer because you get to keep a glass that you probably won’t want) and the food made McDonald’s dollar menu seem gourmet. The staff is extremely rude, as they are supposed to be, but it makes for a horrible environment for kids with all the inappropriate jokes written on paper hats that customers are expected to wear. I was surprised by how many kids I saw eating there.
If you are still wanting to try this place simply for the «experience», set your expectations very low and be prepared to shell out as much money as you would at a fine steakhouse.

Drinks are very expensive, food is mediocre but over priced, atmosphere is lively and fun and that is the only reason they got a star!
If you are looking for a fun adventure and not a place for good ears, give them a shot. We had ribs and wings and they were ok but priced at $ 19. Too expensive for a small batch of fries with 6 wings and about 5 ribs.
Very fun place for a newcomer but not a place I would eat it more than once. We paid almost $ 10 for a glass of beer and $ 28 for two kids drinks in a coconut. The problem is, we the prices were not on the menu so we ordered the drinks and did not find out until after we got the check that we spent almost $ 40 on cups to take home. Bottom line, if we would have known the price, non of these drinks would have been purchased.
Overall, this is a place with a talented and humorous wait staff but mediocre food and high prices for drinks will deter me from taking another chance on Dick’s Last Resort. If you go, bring at least $ 100 for dinner with 2-​adults and 2-​kids, 10 and 13!
