Dick's Last Resort is a bar and restaurant chain in the United States, known for its intentional employment of an obnoxious staff.[1] The chain consists of seventeen restaurants. The restaurant has its origins in Dallas with the original owner, Dick Chase's opening of a "fine-dining" establishment in 1985. The establishment was a complete failure, which resulted in bankruptcy. Rather than continue with the upscale restaurant motif, Dick retooled his efforts and decided to "go sloppy." Chase's likeness is still featured on their T-shirts and promotional materials. The end result was a success, leading to the creation of more locations.
In 1995, the company attempted to expand to Europe and opened a restaurant in London,[2] but the effort was abandoned and the restaurant was sold in early 1996.[3]
The company is now owned by Deja Vu, a large entertainment and restaurant conglomerate, and the concept has expanded to dozens of states.[4]
Dick's Last Resort teaches its servers to be obnoxious.[1] In addition to the staff, the decor is considered to be "wacky."[5] The restaurant uses picnic-style tables and paper tablecloths. Patrons of Dick's are expected to be insulted, or placed in uncomfortable situations. Adult bibs and large, hand-made, paper hats with insults written on them are given to diners to wear during their stay.[6] There are no napkins on the tables; they are generally thrown at the customers by the serving staff.[7]
Menu
Dick's menu is influenced by Southern cuisine,[8] consisting of hamburgers, barbecue, and seafood items.
In addition to food and drink, Dick's offers souvenirs such as "Real Women Love Dick's" T-shirts and "I Love Dick's" bumper stickers.[5]
