Dick's Last Resort: Come As You Are!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Dick's Patio Dining Area - San Diego
    Dick's Patio Dining Area

    For years I have heard of "Dick's Last Resort" but had never been there, nor had I ever noticed it. Influencial people in San Diego refer to it frequently, radio talk shows have even been broadcast from it and I thought it would be a great place to add to my SD page.

    I was shocked. So many pretty places in the Gaslamp Quarter and this is where all those influencial people go? Well, I had to try it, to see for myself why anyone would go to this, this, this, place.

    How can I describe it? The patio dining was a large section of blacktop with tables everywhere. The inside had so many napkins on the floor (napkin dropping is encouraged by management) there was barely room to walk to the restrooms.

    We ordered. Everything comes in buckets!!! The food servers yell from one side of the place to the other and if you discretely get your server's attention--for any reason--she will yell at you, "Yeah? What do you want now? Can't you see I'm busy?" She doesn't care if you're sensitive, a VIP or even from another country, everyone is treated rudely equally .

    Honestly, this is not my kind of place, but I could see that it was great fun. No pretension, just a rollicking good time to be had by all!

    At night, there is a live band with dancing and no one under twenty-one is admitted, unless accommpanied by a parent and are coming to eat dinner.

    I think the dress code is: "Wear clothes."

    Probably that is only because not wearing clothes is illegal, otherwise, I think they wouldn't care.

    Dick's Last Resort: My all time favorite is Dick's...
  • Tip Rating:
  • My all time favorite is Dick's Last Resort.
    Dick's is a great place to start the evening. They serve lunch and dinner food with a crazy menu, but are famous for their buckets of fries or chicken legs. There is patio seating as well as a great bar inside that live bands play at. But before going to Dick's you have to be warned of the service....hence the name. The waiters will slam your food and drinks on the tables, yell at everyone and be somewhat rude, but its all part of the environment so don't take it personally. Dick's serves big beers with souvenir glasses, great cocktails, there is lots of noise, big screen TVs, and big picnic tables. Watch out for flying napkins. Everyone throws rolled up napkins at each other. It sounds odd, but it is super fun. I love this place.

    Dick's is more casual than most places Down Town, but like I said this is a great starting point so dress for later.

    Dick's Last Resort: Dick's Last Resort, Buffalo...
    Dick's Last Resort, Buffalo Joe's, and there are tons of others in the area. The main strip is pretty much full of clubs, bars and resturants.

    They do n't have a set dress code. Dick's is more casual, Buffalo Joe's tends to attract the younger and more hip crowd. Saturday night at Buffalo Joe's is disco night!

    Dick's Last Resort: great for a laugh!
    Originally i fgund dick's while i was in Texas visiting my sister. They talk to you like you are stupid, they treat you like ***, and its all in fun! the whole point of the resruant is to have fun and play around.

    My server was making fun of me because i drank my tea too quickly so she brought me a pitcher of it, and a straw. JUST to spite her i drank the whole thing and she announced me as champion fat-ass! (Im skinny) its fun!

    WARNING: Be prepared, they are JUST KIDDING. Laugh.

    you can dress from touristy to black tie, but they'll make fun of the mokey suit!
