| - Before we begin, let me go on the record and say that this review is for the patio bar - not inside the place.
Dick's Last Resort - Dick's, Dick's, Dick's...Here's the thing - if you're easily offended, just don't go. The gimmick here is in the name - the staff act like dicks. They're rude, sarcastic, will flip you off and insult you regardless of age or gender. If you take stuff like that personally, just don't go. If you don't have a sense of humor - don't go. It's funny, irreverent, loaded with innuendo, and just...disrespectful. If you want standard service go somewhere else. If you want to get dickslapped, go to Dick's.
On to the review - the food here is pretty good for strip fare - I've had the pulled pork sandwich and tried the fried catfish and enjoyed both. The pulled pork sandwich was served with fries and was actually pretty daggone good. It's also slightly cheaper than their other sandwiches. The fried catfish here is the shiznaz! I honestly have to say this is about the best fried kittyfishy I've ever had, and I've spent my life in both Texas and Georgia so I've had a LOT of catfish. It's about $15 which is not a bad price for it, the fillets are big, the tartar sauce is good, and it's not greasy at all. The beer is cold and tasty, which is always a good thing. Beer which is warm and tasteless is swill (or being served in England) and I flat refuse. If you order a tall beer (or have a friend who does anyway) you can keep the glass too (although it's usually made of plastic).
The main draw for me, though, week after week, is karaoke on the patio on Saturday and Sunday from 2 - 6, weather permitting. The queue is short, the selection vast, and the host is very good. Also, draughts and pitchers are 2 for 1, plus $5 shots of Jack or Jaeger during karaoke. If you like to sing, drink, or do both (like me) then go. If you have little ones, they can actually go with you. I actually saw the bartender put one of those paper hats they make on a 12 year old mentioning something about riding the short bus...laughed my ass off.
Bottom line - decent food and during karaoke decent drink specials.
Update - the burgers are quite good too.
