Dick’s Last Resort: An Imperfect Place in a Perfect World

From Rug-rats to Old Farts, from High-Class to No-Class, from the Top of the Food Chain, to the Bottom of the Barrel, it’s FUN FOR ALL AND ALL IN FUN FOR THOSE WHO DARE TO ENTER! Sit back and watch, or join in the fun. Dick’s has always been known for its outrageous, surly, energetic waitstaff who inflict humor upon our guests. Our atmosphere makes everyone feel like they’re temporarily breaking all the rules...and getting away with it. We have live music every night featuring questionable bands playing classic rock and there’s never a cover charge. If you’ve got any talent, git up on stage and sing with the band. Dance anywhere ya want - except... don’t shake ya booty on top of our fine tables and chairs. They’ve lasted 20 yrs, and we’ll use 'em for 20 more if we can. You may end up wearing a 2ft tall paper hat complete with a humorous slogan, or doused in a sea of napkins. There’s never a dull moment in this 3-ring circus which is exactly how we earned our infamous reputation.

Places with Good Food Are A Dime A Dozen

No white tablecloths here...this is a down and dirty joint! Dick’s has gone back to the basics (basic caveman). We make our food from scratch and it’s served up in big stainless steel buckets... Big Sloppy Ribs, Juicy Honey-Roasted Chicken, Succulent Crab Legs, and generous servings of Fried Catfish... which call for the use of one’s fingers rather than silverware. Don’t worry, the servers will tie on a plastic bib to alleviate any fears from possible spills... nothing puts a stop to the protection of egotism and snobbery like a big, silly bib! Guests are pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality of our food and wide menu choices. Come and check it out for yourself!

WHAT YOU SEE AIN'T ALWAYS WHAT YOU GET!

Dick’s is committed to giving back to the community in which it resides. We sponsor several charity events throughout the year, and when appropriate, we close our store for major charity fundraisers. We are totally committed to the city in which we are located.

WHO THE HECK IS DICK?

Yes, there really was a Dick and his spirit rages on to inspire us to this day. Dick was a film producer whose claim to fame was making the movie "Hell’s Angels Forever." He breezed into Dallas to open a white tablecloth restaurant and an accompanying bar and grill in a historic building in the West End of downtown. Excavation on the restaurant site began and immediately there was a heap of trouble when the building’s key support wall collapsed. A shocked Dick felt desperate, for he hadn’t budgeted for construction delays. In fact, he already had eight people on the payroll, ready to open the new restaurant.

Dick wasn’t known as Slick Dick for nothing. He took advantage of a deal offered by a local realtor, leasing a 4,000 square foot storefront in the West End. Then, he opened a restaurant/bar to generate some cash while construction proceeded at the other site. Despite his financial bind, Dick’s sense of humor rallied to the occasion. He named the new bar "Dick’s Last Resort" because indeed, it was. And the rest, as they say, is history!
