Dick's Last Resort

NY'ers & other Tourist STAY AWAY FROM D*CKS

by BewareOfDicks at Citysearch

Here's the truth about d*ck's.

I went to Texas to see my brother who is in the air force. D*ck's was a couple of blocks away from our hotel, so we decided to have lunch at d*ck's.

We were seated,greeted by our waiter,and that's when the drama began. The waiter threw each menu at us (we were a party of 6). We couldn't believe it, we didn't know the reputation of d*ck's...we were surprised but thought it was funny. The waiter told us not to take it personal because "that how d*ck's manage it's restaurant". Okay...so we looked over the menu. I had a question about one of the meals, the waiter looked at me like I had two heads, walked away and never answered my question. Okay...so we ordered anyway. The server brought us our drinks. We asked for straws. He never brought it to us. So my father asked a second time and the waiter said "straws are for gay men" we didn't find his comment funny at all.. He walked away, and I was uptight that he had made such a thoughtless comment. So I called him over and asked for straws again. He walked away and brought us back coffee straws (the little red stir straws). Hahaha, funny but I told him we really wanted regular straws. So believe it or not, the waiter came back with about 50 straws and threw it at us. It struck my brother and myself in the face. I was so mad, I got up and screamed at him, and asked him, how is throwing straws in someone's face funny. And he said, I always throw things. So I said how would you like it if I threw something at you. He didn't say a word, I'm guessing he was in shock that I was so upset – see, he's used to treating people this way and he's never reprimanded for it. So we left without paying and went to saltgrass, (couple of blocks away) where the server's were polite, and the food was amazing.

If you like to be degraded or if you think being disrespected is funny, then this is the place for you. I have a sense of humor, but his actions were not funny at all. I’m from New York, and in New York we don’t take being disrespected lightly. D*ck’s better watch it, because they are going to do that to the wrong person – and guaranteed the waiters will think twice of being rude.

D*ck's gave us a horrible experience - but it's okay, because there are so many other great restaurant's along the riverwalk.

• Pros: found another side of myself - my temper
• Cons: waiters - service (waiter's are really D*cks)

Good Times

Three of us went out this past Tuesday, May 26th 2009. Francis, our waiter was funny as hell. These guys are quick and will be ready to verbally assualt you with the most minor of things. Hint: If you aren't quick on your heels, you'll miss a lot of the jokes. Loved the place, the atmosphere, the food. Loved every minute of it....just beware, if you get offended easily then this isn't the place for you. You must have thick skin...then again, I was talking trash right back to them so I am sure I got an extre dose of their medicine.

• Pros: Lot's of laughter
• Cons: None

Don't go to D's

by Hawkfan at Citysearch

D's was to be a highlight of our trip! On Thursday night, (they weren't that busy). It took a half hour to get a beer. On Friday night when we went for dinner, they refused to serve us when we engaged them in the rudeness I understood them to be famous for. The food is expensive and doesn't look that good! There are lots of options on the Riverwalk, don't make D's one of them!

• Pros: None
• Cons: Poor Service
