I went in knowing what type of restaurant this was. The service is meant to be rude and that’s supposed to be the whole joke. They’re not even really that funny though, they just make jokes about you being a whore or just other stupid stuff. The reason I give two stars is because the food is straight AWFUL. I would maybe go again for the ambiance and«rude» service but their food itself makes me want to gag. don’t go if you’re actually hungry. also EXPENSIVE for such bad food.

Was here in 1992 and again in 2015… Based on my experience(it was not as fun as I had remembered) I would have to say that it is geared more toward juvenile humor. The food and drink were fine — sort of a tourist trap. Recommend going with a large group,

Very disappointing! I have heard all about Dick’s as a fun destination with the sarcastic and insulting staff and all of there funny shenanigans. My girlfriend had been to another location and had a great time so she suggested that we have lunch here while in San Diego for the weekend. On a Saturday afternoon we went in and were greeted with what I imagine is a pretty standard greeting for Dick’s servers. Aside from this interaction there was no shenanigans, no insults, no fun. Just a lazy server and his trainee who didn’t care and some mediocre food. I don’t have an issue with the mediocre food as long as the experience is there but we were sadly deprived of the experience as we watched other tables with other servers having a good time. Was a bummer to say the least.

Came here for the experience. I’ve been to another one and had a blast, was well worth the tourist prices. This one however was a different story. Took about 15 minutes(place was empty) to get our waiter to come over. Ordered our food with cheese sticks and never got the appetizer. Our waiter was nice not rude or sarcastic even one time unless you count taking forever while he waited on his only other table filled with cute girls who btw got a great experience. We never even got the hats which made me even more disappointed. We came out of our way for the fun atmosphere, sarcastic humor and hats and gone none of that. Just a 55 dollar check for sub par food and not a fun time.

Wish I could give this place a zero Yeah I get the point is to be rude, haha funny. But when you intentionally ignore my table and help everyone else around us, not refill on our drinks and we didn’t even get our hats until it was almost time to go. Is really annoying and bad customer service, we didnt get any service. We want be coming back

It was a fun experience and some of the«insults» on the hats were funnny but I wish they would be able to write something on a females hat that wasn’t just about being a slut. Their drinks a good however, but didnt try the food. Seems pricy compared to the other Gaslamp restaurants that have a more unique menu.

Came here for happy hour and only had drinks. So I can only give my review for that. I ordered a margarita which was only $ 5 so it was a good deal. But it tasted like juice. I am not sure there was even alcohol in their. However, this place is really funky looking and has a funny vibe too it. It has plenty of outdoor seating which was nice. It is right next to the San Diego Convention center which was really convenient for me. Overall, they had a good happy hour deal but the margarita was very weak. Maybe its not always like that though.

Five outta five YEAASSEEEAAAHHH’s for this dump! Not sure why they get so many bad reviews… it’s supposed to be a gnarly dive with mediocre food and rude service. Are you people really expecting classy service from a place sporting crappy décor, Budweiser on tap, and dicks everywhere? If you’re a piece of trash like me who loves to rub elbows with losers that are one bad decision away from being homeless then you’ll fit right in here.(talkin’ about the staff and the patrons btw) Speaking of homelessness — what the hell is with all the beggars and homeless people in San Diego? I mean really? It’s like they’re on the city’s payroll but instead of money they’re paid in crack cocaine and are instructed to shit their pants or piss themselves daily. Seriously. I saw a guy sleeping on the sidewalk this morning who treated his levi’s like a port a potty at a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert. Anyhow, we went here twice while in town for my failed comeback tour. Heather and Cat(or «Kat»? maybe Kat is her stripper name) ripped us a new one at the outside bar. Crappy hour specials were nothing to write home about(or a heartfelt jesus-themed ballad) but the nachos were decent and I like how jalapeños get thrown in with the gator bites. Go there with low expectations(and low self esteem) and see what kind of shenanigans you can get yourself into. Just don’t get offended by the staff cuz that’d be lamer than my last solo album

I *am* very glad that my friend explained to me what would happen before we went in. That’s important. But otherwise, the food was great and the servers had me rolling the entire time. Great experience. Can’t wait to go back.

I came here with a group of 8 girls to celebrate my cousin’s birthday. I’ve been here a few times before and all I see is tourist trap! The food here is terrible. I had the tater tots. They were greasy and lacked flavor. I don’t even think salt would have helped. The entire point of the service is that they are supposed to play the part and be rude. None of that actually occurred. There wasn’t even an effort made.

Great place to unwind and banter with the employees, they have a sarcastic sense of humor but all in the name of fun. Menu items are plenty to choose from and the food is delicious. It’s a great pace to visit and if you have a great sense of humor then you will go back with friends and maybe even family.

We got a coupon for a free app, so we decided to check it out. The bartender was friendly and the décor was fun. I had to try the fried pickles-so glad I did! They were delicious! And there were a ton! I offered some to hubby and the bartender said, «Sure, thanks,» and took one. LOL. There was definitely a laid back feel to the place; we saw two guys wearing paper hats that said, «I put the S-T-D in ‘STUD.’» Food was great and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely come back, next time I’m lucky enough to be in San Diego.

My friends and I went to San Diego to spend the weekend and we had a blast! The last day right before we headed to LA we decided to have some beers and appetizers at this place. We had never been in Dicks and we wanted to experience it, so we went. There weren’t a lot of people, so the service was pretty fast. We were probably expecting more fun, but we liked it. Our waitress was funny and you could tell she was kidding and trying to make us have a good time. None threw us napkins cause we grabbed them ourselves lol. The appetizers were okay, but we’ve tried them better in other places(nachos and a combo) I would give the service 4 stars, the food 2 – 3 and the place 3. Overall, it was a nice experience to try at least once and I think it’s pretty important to go with the appropriate company and of course in a good mood!

I love Dick’s Last Resort ever since I went to its flagship location in Dallas in 1990. When I saw one in the gaslamp district, I had to go there. I was treated very great for the minute I walked in the door to buy a T-shirt. Yes it’s supposed to be raunchy and yes they are supposed to make fun of you and that’s part of the fun of it. The girl Who waited on me really help me I went through all the T-shirts to determine which one I like the best. You don’t get that kind of service from people anymore. Though I didn’t stay for the food because I had to get back to a conference and I was only on break, I would definitely go back because everyone there seem to be having a good time and their meals looked fantastic. A great place and a great memory of my time in Dallas way back when!

I came here with a group of friends to grab a drink. This place is known for having extremely rude employees(thats the«thing» of this place). I have to say that the employees are not that rude lol and the servers are personal and do their job well. Overall the place is a good place to visit if you want to read some funny sayings on their homemade«hats.» The drink prices were reasonable but not great. The atmosphere was ok. I would recommend this place to people who are visiting San Diego or just want to get a drink. I would rate Dicks Last Resort as follows: Drink Prices is 3 stars, Atmosphere is 3 stars, Service is 4 stars and overall experience is 3 Stars. Disclaimer: This review is not based on the food. The views expressed are of my own and are my true personal experience at this establishment. My personal experience may not reflect this actual establishment, their quality or someone else’s experience at the establishment.

Dick’s is a super touristy spot and it’s more of an «experience» restaurant. You’re paying for rude and obnoxious servers, and loud ambience. No one goes to Dick’s for quality food. My husband had a coworker from out-of-town who wanted to come here. It was a triple date and I had to come along as much as I didn’t want to. I was not amused and not entertained by the«show» put on by the servers. For dinner we had a variation of fish and chips, fried catfish, and burgers and fries. They were all overpriced to include the«rude entertainment» from the servers. I will not come back here even if an out-of-town friend is adamant that we try this place out. No thank you.

I love Dicks… there, I said it. I really do love it, you’ve got to have a sense of humor and not let your big fat hairy ego ruin it for yourself and others. The servers are dicks, it even says it right there in the name… DICKS! They also warn you when you come in. So if you’ve got a problem with their attitude, either check yours or get out. I think the best time to go is during the day though, less crowded plus you can enjoy the sunshine out on their large patio area. Make sure to check out their drink menu, even if you are a non-drinker, the names are hilarious! Although they are pretty light on the alcohol when serving, you do get to keep the glass for most of their items, BONUS! Food is okay, typical American happy hour/bar fare; sandwiches, burgers, ribs, you know… that stuff. I’ve tried a few items on various visits and have always enjoyed my meal or snack, although really nothing memorable except that it has always been good. Looking for a great souvenir? THIS is the place to buy an interesting shirt and there are a dozen or so choices, so hard to decide! Plus, hats, stickers, etc. Also, be sure to peruse the walls and hallways as they’ve really decorated awesome. Hidden gems among the blatant, rude, naughty and/or insulting and signs. I really want to give it a 5 star treatment because this is the type of place I could sit and enjoy for hours… but the service is always SOSLOW! Thanks for the paper hats! They make me laugh just thinking about them… Let’s hear it for Dicks! I love Dicks! CHEERS!!! ====================== UnilocalCHECK-INOFFER!!! ======================

Dick’s is always a good time with decent food. I had the Killa-Rita which I don’t think had enough to alcohol for my taste but it was decent. If you haven’t been here before they can rub you the wrong way. The staff are dicks on purpose and it makes it fun and entertaining. Sometimes you see people get upset but it’s all in good fun. During the week I’m here I’ll probably stop by one more time.
