Dick's Last Resort is a bar and restaurant chain in the United States known for its intentional employment of an obnoxious staff who "purposely provide bad service". [2] The chain was founded in Dallas, Texas, in 1985 by Richard "Dick" Chase and currently operates thirteen locations across the United States. [3] [4]

Contents

In 1995, the company attempted to expand to Europe and opened a restaurant in London, [5] but the effort was abandoned and the restaurant was sold in early 1996. [6]

Atmosphere

Dick's Last Resort teaches its servers to be obnoxious. In addition to the staff, the decor is considered to be "wacky". [7] The restaurants can have mismatched furniture and paper tablecloths. Patrons of Dick's are expected to be insulted, or placed in uncomfortable situations. A staple of Dick's is their hand-made paper hats with insults written on them given to diners to wear during their stay. [8] Guests may have napkins and straws thrown at them by the serving staff. [9]

Dick's menu is influenced by Southern cuisine, [10] consisting of wings, burgers, ribs, chicken, and select seafood items.

In addition to food and drink, Dick's offers souvenirs such as "Putting the F.U. in Fun" T-shirts and "I Love Dick's" bumper stickers. [7]
