What’s your favorite restaurant? How’s the service? Now let me ask you, have you ever eaten at Dick’s Last Resort?
Typically, a restaurant strives to please customers to encourage them to come back regularly. They want to offer great tasting food that appeals to anyone, and the servers have good attitudes, hence the quote, “service with a smile,” and make sure you are satisfied throughout your meal.
At Dick’s Last Resort, they take a different approach to service. The words “Last Resort,” in the title of the restaurant gives a good hint. At Dick’s it seems as though they do, “service with a smirk.” Servers purposely tease customers, giving them a run for their money, in a poking fun kind of way, with the smart remarks they make. Also, they make ridiculous paper hats for customers with hilarious sayings. Servers are known to be obnoxious and diners should expect to be put in awkward situations. The tables and chairs do not match, and the tables are not set when you are seated. Often the waiters and waitresses throw napkins at you and tell you to set the table, with butcher paper as a table cloth.
Although, their service may not be appreciated by all, parents should note that later in the evening, and especially on the weekends, the service becomes more appropriate for adults. At times the humor can be crude and parents should be aware of that.
Dick’s Last Resort is a very unique chain of restaurants which is not found everywhere. I have eaten there for lunch and for dinner. Both times I have been to Dick’s, I was in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas restaurant is one of twelve, in a chain of the United States. It’s probably one of very few restaurants that offer a different kind of service while still offering an appetizing variety of food.
In my opinion, Dick’s Last Resort is an entertaining and unique experience. I highly recommend it to people with a sense of humor, who wouldn’t mind awkward situations or snide remarks by workers. The cost is a little on the expensive side, but completely worth it for the entertainment alone.
My first time to Dick’s Last Resort, some friends of ours took my family for lunch. We did not know what to expect, but still ended up having a great time. When my brother asked for a drink refill, our waitress, or “Momma Nancy,” as we had to call her, returned with his soda in a snow cone cup. In this case, my brother wasn’t able to put the cup down and had to continue holding it. When my brother just looked at “Momma Nancy,” she said “What, you asked for a refill and you got one, now drink it!” These are some of the funny sort of pranks they play to mess around with people.
All in all, Dick’s Last Resort was an extremely unique experience which I would recommend to many. Their out-of-the-norm attitudes of the waiters and the restaurant overall certainly contribute to an adventurous visit.
