The JOKE is on us!! This place is a 'One Trick Pony.' I give it one year, TOPS. Fun idea for a restaurant but the place is absolutely horrid. Hey, my husband and I love to have fun and the off-color jokes, insults and hats did NOT bother us in the least. We knew that going in. We sat at the bar because we didn't want to sit at the 'group tables' that are jammed together. (Funny, the group tables across the street at the Hoffbrau House are fun but the group tables at Dick's looked 'icky' so that is why we decided to sit at the bar. ) The hostess was rather rude about it. The service is painfully slow, the food is terrible and the prices are way too expensive. The portions are tiny but the food is so bad the portion size was irrelevant. The place is so loud that you can't chit-chat with each other. ONE domestic 12 ounce draft beer is $9.75. We didn't know the price of the beer until we got our tab. Beer prices are not listed anywhere and generally speaking we aren't typically concerned about the price of a beer. But $9.75 for a 12 ounce beer, get real. I ordered an appetizer as my meal. I ordered the crab balls....what a joke. The SIX little crab balls about the size of a quarter were a mushy goo without any taste of crab meat. One of the balls was still frozen in the middle (so this is obviously microwave food). It came with about 12 little bitty skinny fries. Normally, I put ketchup on my fries but never could get any. My husband ordered a piece of fish (because the bartender said it was THE BEST) and he asked for french fries with it. He got a little piece swimming in some unknown liquid, mashed potatoes and a squishy scoop of green beans. When he told the waitress that he had ordered french fries (not mashed potatoes) she said "sorry about that but this is the way it comes." She never brought him fries. His meal looked especially gross. But he sweetly picked around at it as he is not one to complain. I asked the waitress what all the liquid was that was saturating my husband's meal. She said it was the bacon grease they put on the green beans for flavor. Was she joking or not? Who knows?? Like I said...the joke is on us. So along with our one dinner, one appetizer and four beers we had TERRIBLE service, disgusting food, loud atmosphere, we had the honor of paying almost $80. Oh wait, I just remembered that we were allowed to keep two glasses for our $40 for four beers. Yippeeeeeeee. I could have purchased Waterford Crystal.

Dick's is a chain restaurant; a themed one that I remember used to populate the Flats in Cleveland before they were flattened. The theme: service that treats you like, well, dicks. So, that might not sound too appealing, and if you're not in the mood to put up with anything, it's not. However, if you're willing to play along, this place can be an absolute blast. Customers are given a sort of dunce cap, a place mat configured into a tall white cap that waiters and waitress write vulgar and insulting comments on. For instance, during my last visit a girl in our party was given the moniker "takes more loads than a Maytag". That sort of thing. Waiters and waitresses will do those typical waiter and waitress things that you would normally hate if you didn't pack your patience: mislead or mock you when you ask where the bathroom is, attempt to hurry you out of the restaurant, throw your menus on to the table instead of hand them to you, yelling at you for not paying your check, etc. But, all in good fun. The staff here, despite the theme, seems to have a great attitude. They are not short on smiles and playfulness. I was here on a Saturday and everyone was dressed up like a superhero and I definitely had a few good laughs. Additionally, they sell beers in 40s. I'm not saying they pour it into a forty ounce glass; they actually will hand you a 40 ounce bottle, as if you had just gone to a 7-11; it is short only in the absence of a paper bag wrapper. I can't speak to the food as I did not have any, but I'm guessing it's pretty much standard bar food. If you're in a playful and confident mood Dick's should definitely not be your last resort.

Was there about 3 weeks ago. Food was terrible, atmosphere was fine, as long as you understand what you are in for. Left message with management and playing phone tag at the moment about our food. Paying $150 for terrible food, won't happen again.

Went to Dicks Last Resort last night for dinner and when I left I immediately thought I was in some way robbed. The waiters was cool, I kinda enjoyed the atmosphere and different style of dining. That said, the food was mediocre and very overpriced. Even the waiter said he used to be in Panama City FL and it was ok to explain that the prices were high because it's a tourist attraction but he had no explanation for the prices remaining the same in Cincinnati. I ordered the Dolly (I think) and the food was cold and under-seasoned. I felt like I paid for a 4-course meal and got meals-on-wheels. I will not be returning to the place again and will also deter anyone I know from being drawn to the flashy lights of this establishment on the levee. Smh.

I can appreciate the concept of the restaurant. Grumpy servers making fun of the customers...I get it. I can laugh at myself as well or better than anyone but what I don't like is the sub-par food at the inflated prices. No sandwiches, just entrees. Overpriced entrees at that. The server stood at our table and screamed very loudly at what the menu items were. I was afraid to ask her to explain any of the items. I honestly just wanted to leave but I decided to go along with the madness. Then we received our meals. Nasty ribs, overcooked fish, shrimp straight from the box, and chicken fried chicken that was cold. I managed to make it through the meal, but when I paid the $80 bill, and then tipped another $15, I was over it. I felt like I was taken advantage of. I don't see how they get any return customers. Take my advice and save your money and your dignity and eat somewhere else.
(1)Erica A.
This is one of those places where you pay for the experience. Our server was fantastic at his job. He was sassy and rude just like you would expect from a place called Dick's. The food was decent, but was essentially extremely overpriced Applebee's. And the huge margarita you're tempted with that has no price listed anywhere? Yeah, 30 effing dollars. The gimmick of keeping the glass isn't even a treat because what are you ever going to drink out of a 32oz margarita glass? (Unless you REALLY love margaritas at home.) It was fun for one time, but I'll never be back unless I want to leave completely broke. Both emotionally and financially.
(2)Craig C.
We expected funny sarcasm, but never got any. Our waiter was boring as fuck. And SLOW! It took forever to get drinks and food and the place was not the least bit crowded, probably because word is getting out that this place is such a shithole. The food was expensive and the portions small. And it took fucking forEVer. Thanks for taking two hours of my life away, assholes.
(1)Meghan Q.
Haha this place is a trip! First off, to all the people that give bad reviews bc of how you were treated?! News flash! That's like going to Hooters and being offended for seeing cleavage. Erica was our server and she's a boss. We had fun with her. She was witty and funny. The food is pretty good, I was just a little surprised by the small entrée choices. Appetizers are typical, fried pickles, nachos, etc..but the tater tots! Let's talk about them! So good lol who doesn't love tater tots. All in all its a fun place. Be light hearted about it and give the servers a little taste of their own medicine. Have fun with it!

I came here for a friends bachelorette party and I didn't really understand the concept until we got there. They were nicely rude when they went to sit us down which was funny. I don't really like the concept of no real menu on the tables or the throwing of the straws at us since I don't feel like grabbing my straw from the floor. The food was okay, I only got the wings and they seemed under cooked. I felt that our waiter could have paid more attention to the bride to be instead of the other guest since we had to ask him to make her a hat after he did the rest of our group. I felt he should have made her feel special since it was her celebration.
(3)Andrea J.
I know that you go there for the experience, not the food, but both kinda sucked. I was expecting our server to be more interactive and engaging/insulting, but she wasn't. She sold us on a beer-rita, which is NOT worth $25. I don't think there was any booze in it besides the beer. The food menu is all fried stuff. The only good part was that my friend and I split an order of fried pickles, and they brought out a second basket because the first one didn't have enough. Othewise, I'd skip this place.
(1)Kristie T.
If you've been one you've been to all. The food is mediocre, but I collect the beer glasses because they have the city's name on them. We've been to Gatlinburg, PCB Florida, Chicago and now Newport. The experience is the best part about them because I have a house full of smart alecks so they belong here. We laugh the whole time we're here so that's why we keep visiting them whenever we see them.
(3)Bethany Z.
They pretty much ran us right out of the store before we could even order drinks. This place is called dicks not Assholes. I totally understand this concept and have seen it before at other locations in the world but these people at this location are out of control. We actually looked for a long time to find this place. We asked to be sat away from the window bc it was very hot outside and the windows were open. So they sat us next to the window . Slammed down our menus and were promptly called strippers. When we asked for water she said two toilet waters for you. While, she was away we talked about maybe finding a place with air conditioning we had only ordered water and weren't in the mood for the amount of rude that was coming out of our waitress's mouth. We told her when she came back that we were going to find a place with air conditioning and we apologized and she responded with "after I got you this water !!" "You better tip me at least two dollars right now." And then she yelled at the whole store that we wanted air conditioning. We were then told by the other servers more than once that the window was air conditioning. Then they said what are you gonna do when it really gets hot? Well, I'm gonna find a nice big pool and drink pina coladas lady! She ended the whole thing by bringing her child to our table to beg. We were already on our feet. Worst execution ever. I wasn't going anywhere to pay someone to yell at me. Who cares about the food. You failed before the kitchen even warmed . Didn't die .... One star
(1)Brian J.
I enjoyed this place. Love the sarcasm and making fun of us. Only had the catfish bites and the beer. A bit high priced but the experience is worth it
(5)Cody P.
Only go to this place if you're looking to be entertained. The fun part is the waiters yelling at you and doing all kinds of goofy things to you while you are there. Everyone gets a hat with a "personalized" saying on it. If you are easily offended, it's not for you. It's very loud and the food is overpriced crap bar food at best so don't expect anything spectacular in the cuisine department.
(2)Heather Y.
I get their theme and it would be funny if they still provided good service, but that's not the case...their theme turned into piss poor service! We were told by our waitress that couldn't have water because she didn't work for free. Then she threw an empty glass at us and told us to get our own water. I was also given a drink I didn't order...when I specifically said I didn't want it...bc the proceeds went to the children. Lastly, when we decided the place wasn't for us...we had a pen thrown at us from across the bar and it flew to the other side of the room. So not cool...needless to say...I won't be returning!
(1)Tommy L.
The service is kinda funny, but not hilarious like I expected. I understand that the point is to be rude to the customer, but that just wasn't as funny as it could've been. However, the reason behind this poor review is the food. I ordered chicken tenders and received something that could barely pass as such. They were soggy, had almost no flavor, and were very greasy. The fries were ok, but nothing special. Definitely overpriced. Overall, the food was some of the worst food I've ever had from a restaurant and the experience was subpar.
(1)Ben C.
I went to this restaurant with family not knowing what it was about. I found out. About 5 minutes into our experience a server had a birthday girl stand up that was in her 20's and started chugging an alcoholic beverage. When she didn't finish he had everyone in the restaurant chanting "YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!" After we left we passed a group of teenage girls outside. They were wearing the paper hats that the servers put on them. One of them said "future stripper." The girl looked like she was 14. She was laughing at how funny it was. It was pretty sad. I get it. It's a theme. It's remarkable. Maybe it's entertaining. But it's not good. It's derogatory. It's abusive. It may be normal but not the type of restaurant I want to support in my city or that I would want my daughters to go to. We left before we could even get our food order in. We overheard the waiter saying "it's not for everyone." My hope is that it would be for no one. I think people are worth more than that and we need restaurants and places that make us feel more human and not less.
(1)Tom T.
Drinks are very expensive, food is mediocre but over priced, atmosphere is lively and fun and that is the only reason they got a star! If you are looking for a fun adventure and not a place for good ears, give them a shot. We had ribs and wings and they were ok but priced at $19. Too expensive for a small batch of fries with 6 wings and about 5 ribs. Very fun place for a newcomer but not a place I would eat it more than once. We paid almost $10 for a glass of beer and $28 for two kids drinks in a coconut. The problem is, we the prices were not on the menu so we ordered the drinks and did not find out until after we got the check that we spent almost $40 on cups to take home. Bottom line, if we would have known the price, non of these drinks would have been purchased. Overall, this is a place with a talented and humorous wait staff but mediocre food and high prices for drinks will deter me from taking another chance on Dick's Last Resort. If you go, bring at least $100 for dinner with 2-adults and 2-kids, 10 and 13!!

We decided to try out this new restaurant before seeing a movie at AMC. We figured it would be interesting to see what kind of sarcastic and insulting remarks the servers could conjure up, though I was determined not to wear one of the ridiculous dunce caps. I feel as though it's counterintuitive to knock the service at a place like this, but even a half-hearted "hello" would have been appreciated. We were not greeted by anyone when we walked in, so we grabbed the closest seat at the bar. Eventually the bartender came over and flung some napkins at us (a cute touch) and asked us what we would like to drink. We had decided on the "Infamous Killa" margarita, but she talked us into one of their beer margaritas with Dos Equis by saying it was cheaper. She pretty much insisted, so that's what was served. They don't hand you any menus, as all of the menus are located on chalkboards throughout the restaurant. I found this very annoying because I essentially had to strain my neck to read them and none of the items had a description. Even more annoying were the outlandish prices next to each menu item. The cheapest thing I could see on their menu was a $15 salad. Everything was extremely, extremely overpriced. We decided to forgo having dinner here, so we finished our drink and asked for the check. The bartender replied with her one and only sarcastic comment of the night ("whatever") and brought us our check. Can you say sticker shock? Our check was $25.70 for the one lousy beer-garita, which was supposedly on special. I can't imagine how much the "Infamous Killa" margarita would have set us back. Overall, this place is way too gimmicky for my liking. We went to Bar Louie afterward and had a much nicer time. On Tuesday nights, Bar Louie offers $1 14 oz. domestic drafts. It was sad to sit there and think that I could have had 25 Bud Lights instead of that one margarita.
(1)J W.
I'm not easily offended and I get the concept of this place, but the only thing worse than the wait staff here is the overpriced food and drinks. Drinks are ridiculously expensive (about $10 for a beer because you get to keep a glass that you probably won't want) and the food made McDonald's dollar menu seem gourmet. The staff is extremely rude, as they are supposed to be, but it makes for a horrible environment for kids with all the inappropriate jokes written on paper hats that customers are expected to wear. I was surprised by how many kids I saw eating there. If you are still wanting to try this place simply for the "experience", set your expectations very low and be prepared to shell out as much money as you would at a fine steakhouse.
(1)Casey K.
I realize the rude humor is part of the atmosphere but the food was worse than the service. It tasted like low grade food and when I tried to complain they acted like it was part of their joke. For $ 20 my wife received a 5oz burnt steak with shrimp and was up charged for onions with no notice. Again when pointing out anything unsatisfactory aspects of the food they fall back on the gimmick. Don't waste your money on the food. If you want to go to a place and be treated poorly it's a great place. If you want foods that tastes like you got it a soup kitchen but pay through the nose it is also your place.
(1)Red P.
Anyone who is familiar with this franchise knows what to expect. So .... why do people go there? The food is the pits (OK so maybe the appetizers are average) but the rest is nothing to go back for. I ordered the ribs and I couldn't get a steak knife thought them. Good thing I was on a liquid diet that night so it worked out fine. This was my first time at this location (even though I could throw a rock there from my balcony) and my only reason for the visit was I was throwing a party to say good bye to my boss who was moving to Las Vegas. So we took one for her and the team gathered up and we had a great time. If your in the right mood, and you want some good laughs make it a destination soon. We were pretty rowdy and and we had no problem extending our party to the table behind us that were there to celebrate a birthday. Good choice Sam, we wish you well on your new journey in Las Vegas and promise not to post more of our Dick's Party on Facebook.
(2)Katie F.
I definitely concur with all the other reviews for this place. Went to a Dick's in Florida and remembered having a great time so my family and I decided to try it out again for my birthday. Maybe this Newport one is different or maybe because I was younger then, but this was one of the most horrible birthday dinners I've ever had. The menu situation is ridiculous, they were out of FIVE (?!?) different things we ordered (half the menu almost), the food underwhelming, and our server didn't make us laugh once. The drinks are way overpriced because you get to take home the glass -- who cares?! I didn't want the glass... I wanted the drink! Anyway, to make it short and sweet, we all left disappointed and honestly pretty confused as to what we just experienced.
(1)Jessica P.
If I could give it no stars- I would! The atmosphere is pretty cool (although it does seem strange to pay such high prices to be treated like sh*t) and my partner and I had a few laughs, but that does not balance out the ABSOLUTE HORRIBLE food and INSANELY HIGH cost! My watered down Strawberry Lemonade rang in at $3.95 (no real flavor) The menu options are sadly lacking in choice & variety- the most inexpensive item on the menu is a House Salad (no meat) for $12.99 We decided to play it safe with the Appetizer Sampler ($19.99) and an order of Crabby Balls ($10.99) The sampler consist of wings, chicken strips, cheese sticks, and fried pickles. The pickles had very little breading (so it was pretty much a warm pickle chip- YUCK), the chicken strips were the size of a chicken nugget and BADLY over fried, the cheese sticks were cold & bland, and the wings had almost NO SAUCE! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!! The Crabby Balls were the most disgusting thing I've ever had. They appeared to be hush puppies with crab meat, but they were the size of a nickel and burnt black. We tried one each and left the rest on the table- I wouldn't even be cruel enough to serve that to my K-9! Total Bill = $43.00 (and my partner only drank water) When we left we were as hungry as when we came in the door- only now we felt completely taken advantage of. Will NEVER recommend this place to anyone (not even for drinks/atmosphere).
(1)Frank P.
My daughter picked Dicks for her 21st birthday dinner. The atmosphere was mostly fun, our waitress worked hard to entertain us. The biggest issue was the food, cost to much for the serving size. Also there were no sandwiches on the menu so an overpriced entree was the only choice. On top of that the taste of the food was not that great (expect more for that price point). Overall we had fun, but doubt we will make a return trip.
(2)Erich W.
I stopped in for what I thought would be a quick lunch turned out to be 1.5 hour ordeal of poor service and average food at best. It was noon on a beautiful Saturday with people everywhere on the Levee but not many in Dicks. That was our first warning. We sat outside as they have a nice patio. Our server was prompt in taking our drink orders but took 15 min delivering my friends Coke. My Goose Island tasted off for some reason. They advertise big beers on the menu but never mention prices or if they have regular pint sizes too. Maybe I should have asked if big beers was the only size but they gave me a big beer which appeared to be 20 oz in their branded glass. I was quite shocked when the bill came and they charged me $9.75. Once I figured out the trap was you keep the glass I told them I was not interested and they took off a whole $0.75. We waited over an hour for the food and had to ask where it was. The server looked surprised and said he would ask. He came back and made up some excuse that the person who makes the meatballs came in late to work. He did apologize but that was bout it. I ordered the chicken wrap which had a nick kick to it. The serving of fries was very small especially for the $10 price. Overall the prices are way too high for what you get. We saw none of the rude humor that they pride themselves on. This is a tourist trap and unless they change their service and provide more value they won't make it. Cincinnati has too many restaurants that are far superior
(1)Lorna R.
Let's start with the food...I had the buffalo chicken salad. it was just okay, nothing special. The buffalo tenders weren't sauced, they were just spicy and very dry. My mother on the other hand tried the southwest salad and it was TERRIBLE. It was so bad she didn't even eat it. They messed up my little sisters cheese burger that she wanted plain (the menu didn't specify that there were any extra toppings on the burger) and when she asked for a new one, the waitress turned right around and gave her the same one! Long story short, don't come here if you're coming for the food! In all honesty, the idea of going to a restaurant where the servers act like "dicks" to you, isn't really appealing to me. The servers make some sarcastic remarks, but nothing too exciting. While I was there, some lady behind me spilled her drink and they made her clean it up herself and then threw napkins at her. They did get a few laughs from me, so I'm giving them 2 stars instead of one but overall, it was a pretty lame experience and I won't be returning.
(2)Drew S.
It's an overpriced gimmick. They are supposed to act like "dicks" to you, which apparently means terrible service (refills, etc.) is a good thing. Overall it's a crappy bar with some tacky retail merchandise. I'm honestly amazed that this restaurant even got put into that location. The only way this place can survive long-term is if they get a large bar share, but that seems unlikely since the competition for a good place to drink within .25 miles is insanely good (best in Cincinnati). Oh, and the food is overpriced and terrible. It might seem weird to not talk about the food until now, but trust me, it's not their focus either. Went with a party of about 20, and most of the people were disappointed. One guest with us was okay with the gimmick until they got their bill. It's okay though, there insanely overpriced beers come with a free glass to take home (with their logo).
(1)Laura L.
The servers were funny and attentive. They did well entertaining the kids in an appropriate way. The food is pricey for what you get (that's why I gave them 3 stars). The fish and chips were delicious. The Philly steak sandwich was dry and didn't taste very good. We weren't crazy about the seating arrangements. They pack multiple people into one long table.
(3)Jay H.
Like the decor and the location down at Newport on the Levee. First of all this place is Not for people who like to Jokes and joking around, especially my girlfriend that's very conservative and quiet. I'm a person who enjoys a little comedy and rudeness. I read a lot of 1 star reviews, thinking to myself. You might want to read the name, that's how your going to get served...HELLO!!!. Well onto the night. I went here with my girlfriend Toey, sister Mishell and friend Matt. We first ordered bucket of wings...that was good. My girlfriend and I ordered the wings and ribs that was also not too bad. Friend Matt ordered battered fish. He said it was good. Overall I would come here again, but here too only drink. Only issue I had was tall Bud light beers were almost $9.00 a glass...WOW!!! Expensive$$$
(3)Amanda D.
I'll start off by saying our waitress was good and the whole being rude thing was more comical than offensive. That wasn't what bothered me. It was a beautiful day so we were seated outside. Although the menu is on a chalkboard inside-there is nowhere to read the menu outside. The small stand up one outside only had the lunch menu on it. So we had no idea what they offered or their prices. So...she has to verbally tell us the menu. I honestly just had to order the only thing I remember her saying. Also, the wait for drinks, to order, etc. was ridiculous. Please note they were not crowded at all. My friends and I had coupons for free fried pickles. The pickles hardly had any batter on them. It was essentially warm pickles. My friend ordered a salad without chicken because she is a vegetarian. When it came out the lettuce was browning and soggy. She was also charged the full price even though she removed the chicken aspect of it. So she paid $13 for a Cesar salad. Do not come here if you are a vegetarian. That's the only option you've got unless you are like my other friend and who had mozzarella sticks as her meal. I ordered the BBQ Dolly chicken breasts which came with rice and fiesta corn and a sweet tea. The sweet tea was so watered down it wasn't good at all. No refills for me please. And the BBQ sauce wasn't good but I'll blame that on personal preference. The corn, rice and chicken had such distinct opposing flavors...they didn't go well together at all. I should have substituted for fries or something. My plate looked like it hadn't been touched. My bill came and it was way overpriced. I wish I would have went to Tom + Chee for half the price! I won't be back. And none of us got funny hats. Sad. :(
(1)Janine C.
This place is overrated. Not horrible, but not great. I have a sense of humor, so the sarcasm from the staff doesn't bother me. The main problem is that the food tasted average yet was overpriced! I had the Dolly - don't bother with that. I went with a large group and we had reservations. Problem? They still had us waiting nearly an hour for a table and they SPLIT OUR GROUP IN HALF at the last minute - we were on opposite sides of the room. Ridiculous!
(2)Robbie B.
Do not go here, places like this are what Yelp is for. It's a concept joint, the waiters/waitresses are jerks (dicks) on purpose. Which I have a wicked sense of humor, but if you're gonna be this crazy (yelling at customers, saying seriously mean and awkward curse words and what not) you better be able to back up your theme with great service and food. This place has neither. We were seated at a 12 top next to random strangers, (1 server gets the whole table and serves all of you) and if I wanted to share a meal with a random stranger, I'd go to the Salvation Army and serve soup (which honestly probably tastes better) there is no menu, they have giant ply paper with what they cook written in sharpie. The server was yelling at an old lady on her phone next to me with his megaphone, then started smacking the table with his megaphone right by her hand almost smashing her hand. Because he wanted her to get off of it? There will be tons of people with trashy paper bag hats the servers put on them with really raunchy and awful things written on them. Boobs, strippers, whatever the servers want to write on them. It's not a family restaurant, I repeat: DO NOT BRING YOUR FAMILY OR KIDS HERE. And $10 for a beer? Nah, I'm good. I really don't understand how this place makes money, it's an awful and horrendous tourist trap taking advantage of nice people who are too polite to just get up and leave like everyone else wants to do. Awkward, awful, expensive and soon to be bankrupt at this pace. About the only thing I can say I got out of this place was a story and a good review for yelp.
(1)Cory R.
Went here Saturday afternoon (April 26, 2014) and had a fairly good time. After they seated us, it tool several minutes for the waiter to get to us, which has started to seem more common at restaurants in Cincy/KY. But the lady was pretty good at being a some type of blend of sarcastic/ asshole-ish and being helpful with the menu. But that is the point of them being called Dick's apparently. Overall they made it stand out as something different to do and we really don't regret it. Its a new place and having the entire patio use a huge handwritten menu on the wall is a sign. Regardless, the employees seemed to want to have a playful, lets just say what everyone is thinking attitude. There were some rules to it- I don't remember them lol. Beer was good, fish n chips were ok for the price.
(3)Mary S.
I get the idea of this place... rude and sarcastic humor... but it wasn't even humor. It was just rude and sarcastic. You'd think with the atmosphere of the place that the food would totally rock to offset the imbalance of what a host/ess is typically known for but that sucked even more. So, you've got terrible service, horrible food and overpriced drinks. This place is a DUMP in all aspects. Not to mention my "crab cakes" were full of crunchy shell. Gross. I will never step foot in a Dick's Last Resort again... even if it IS the last resort.

Damn. Guess I should have read the reviews for this place first. I've really only got one word to describe it. DISGUSTING.

Terrible food. Awful service. Yes entertaining but no pop refilled and buckets of water. Servers lucky I'm a good tipper.

Been here twice and both times the food was horrible and pretty pricey $16 for 2 fish sticks and rock hard nasty fries. $60 for 3 horrible meals and waters . It's kind of hard to be in the mood of having your waiter insult you when the restaurant is raping you !

I didnt have high expectations for this place to begin with and to be honest, i was smart not to. I arrived with a party of three and i was told we would have to wait about 30 to 45 minutes. They put us down on the waiting list. 25 minutes later we arrive back at Dicks after receiving a text that our table was ready. I walk in to find out that the hostess took our name off of the list and replaced it. Thankfully another hostess was kind enough to find us a spot. I for one, dont like seating here. I rather go to a place and enjoy a meal with my party, instead of getting placed in between other parties at the same table. We were placed next to a family whose kids were arguing who sits where half the time. Very annoying. Our waitess was very cool and did her job well. As i expected the food was mediocre and overpriced. The thing that annoyed me the most was the fact that they dont have actual menus. Just a chalkboard with what they serve. All in all, its a good place to go to as a one time thing for the "experience" but i definitely wont be returning.

Fun atmosphere but the food was AWFUL. VERY over priced food and drinks. We will not be back.

If you are half drunk and don't mind overpaying for mediocre food, you will have a good time here. Not a place to go and visit. It was loud and crowded. We had to sit with other groups at the same table.

Hmm were to start i was in a large group and when we arrived there was a Long wait but we didn't care so we divided to order drinks! I waited at the bar for 25 min and never even got acknowledged so walked back to my group. While waiting I started to notice the place was ridiculously loud and people were running around everywhere there was t even a comfortable place to wait to be seated. We finally after over a hour get seated and they have tables and people packed in like sardines! When our waiter arrived he showed me the menus I wasn't impressed and no prices on the drinks! I order on of the big drinks and steak well..... The steak tasted like it was ran across a floor and the drink didn't seem like it had any alcohol in it at all! They were suppose to have funny rude service well I've had ruder service at McDonalds!!! Then the worst part we got our bill my one drinks was around 30 bucks for my boyfriend and I it was over 100 bucks for the worst dinner ever!

this is definitely a "try it once and don't go back" kind of place but i guess it would be fun for tourists visiting the area. the overall concept is that the servers are supposed to be sarcastic and funny - ours wasn't so much - to the point where my kids would try to start up conversations with the other servers in order to see if they would play back. The concept of having menu items listed out on the blackboards around the place was interesting to say the least. Only the actual item was listed, no description, so I found it difficult to know what to order. As our waiter attempted to go thru the list, he ran thru it so fast, we couldn't understand much. Additionally, there were several items he shared and said "we don't have that anymore". What? why would you even list it or mention it?? Definitely overpriced - my family of 5 (3 kids) ended up with a LUNCH bill of $100+. Ridiculous and won't be back.

Sat at the bar for dinner. Bartender, Cinnamon, was great. That's where it ends. Menu selection is poorly limited and expensive for the quality. Its ok to try once, but they are lacking a reason to come back.

What an interesting place. It needs to take a step back and understand that it's a restaurant first. The food was horrible. I had the shrimp palooza. Zero taste, cold, and the fried shrimp was seriously over done. My daughter had the steak and shrimp, she couldn't eat it. We had a party of seven and everyone's food was horrible. The food was probably the worst I've had anywhere in Cincinnati. The beer was semi cold and there was no need to ask for a doggy bag. There are so many good places to in the city. This over priced, poor excuse for a restaurant isn't one of them.

Just left the table after dinner for four after a Red's game. Seated immediately, quirky space, huge bill, awful service, and even worse food. No, seriously, food was the worst ever. If you must go once because you want the plastic bib and paper-insult-hat experience just know that we ALL told you so.

I had the Dick's Pulled Pork sandwich and fries. The sandwich was spit on and served the correct way with cole slaw in the sandwich. I lived in North Carolina for two years and Dick's knows how to make NC BBQ. Just have to have a warped sense of humor to really enjoy it! Plenty of televisions to watch while eating. You sit family style, which I liked. Overall a good restaurant and I'd eat there again when on the Levee.

I expected attitude from the server... $50 later I had 2 beers 3 deep fried fish sticks and fries. I will never go back. I thought it was a college bar, but I didn't know they wouldn't card anyone in the bar.

As a heads up, I was here this past Monday (3/31/4). While my friends and I had fun, I went to bed that night and within hours was sick with food poisoning. Still trying to recover, missed a day at work. I really don't suggest you waste your money for intense cold sweats, fever, and becoming friends with your toilet!

Some friends had been to a different location and had had a great time. They brought us to this one expecting a good experience as well. They wait for a few tables to load up before they even take your order. It was 20 minutes after being seated before our drink orders were taken. We had finished our drinks before our food orders were taken. We had to continually ask for drink refills. One table that was seated at the same time as us had finished earing and were about to leave before we received our food. I had chicken and ribs. It was 17.99 on the chalk board menu on the wall. It came on a bucket with no sides. The ribs were dry and tough. The waitress starts making hats for everyone. This was after everyone was finished. By this time I just wanted the check. Everyone had fun with the hats but come on. One of the other waiters laid on his tables napping for about ten minutes. I understand you have a shtick but make it effecient. Need a better menu of food items. Overpriced crap food does not bring me back.
(1)Dan T.
Way, way over priced for what you get. Chicken and three ribs for $18.00 and no sides is way over priced. Live and learn, never come back here again. There are to many other restaurants around this area to ever come back here again. I will give them 12 more months and they will be gone..

I wish I would have read the reviews before trying this place as the previous reviews were spot on for our visit. The food is mediocre at best and is ridiculously overpriced. We paid $6 for a tiny bowl of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (best option for my son b/c the kids menu is extremely limited in their offering). When you are seated you are forced to sit at long tables that are packed with other guests. There is no such thing as your own table. The schtick of this place is for all of the employees to be rude. I have to say that this gets really old real quick. The hostess was beyond rude and just downright mean. The floor was filled with garbage and the bathrooms were even worse. The icing on the cake was when we walked out the door and hit with the smell of the horse drawn carriages that are parked right outside the entrance. This was our one and only visit as we will never be returning.

This is the worst place I have ever been. I actually created a Yelp account just to review this dump. I guess I am not the target customer, since I am a decent human being who does not enjoy paying $8.25 for a PBR. I am not exaggerating. We did not eat here, because it was an hour wait (how?!), and also they have literally nothing vegetarian. The floor is covered in garbage, the staff is rude, everything is overpriced. Just don't.
(1)Shelley S.
We had a really great time. I took my teenage son for his birthday. The atmosphere was all that you expect...loud, obnoxious, fun. Thank goodness we did call ahead seating - at 6:30 on a Saturday night it was a 3 hour wait for a party of 2!!! The food is just okay and the prices are rather high. It was a fun place for a party but I have been there, had the experience and will probably not go back...the food and the prices just did not match up.

This was the worst service that I've ever experienced. I understand that they are supposed to be smart asses and I do understand it was opening night however this was unacceptable. My friend and I laughed when the bartender implied that I am unintelligent and even thought it was funny when she initially refused to get my friend a glass of wine. However, the joke became less funny when she told us the menu was on the ceiling and wouldn't bring us menus. I received my drink ten minutes later and my friend never received hers, after twenty minutes had passed and we had observed the bartender making everyone else's drinks we decided to leave. I won't be back to see if the food is better then the service.

I went here with my friend because we wanted to try it out. When we got there there was a worker standing by the door so we went up to her and she said "what?" Rudely. I get that the point of this restaurant is for them to be dicks so it didn't bother me. The service didn't really bother me either. I was just scared of the workers to be honest. I was scared to ask my waitress anything. My friend asked for a stare and she stuck it in her drink with the wrapper still on it. I actually laughed at that. But what really bothered me was the price. Especially of the drinks that don't even have prices on them. I ordered the Blue Lagoon and thought it was going to be like 3 dollars. (Hah) No. It was freaking 6 dollars. And you get a cup that lights up with it that didn't really fascinate me. And I ordered fried pickles that weren't bad. But basically all I ate was that. And my bill was about $15. That's way too much considering I just had fried pickles.

We went here last Saturday April 4th. We called earlier in the day and were told that while they did not take reservations, we could call and hour before our arrival and do call ahead seating. We made our way down at 6 pm and called from the car to do the call ahead seating. They told us sorry, we don't do that. Huh? I just called three hours ago and was told I could. So, we get there at a bit before seven and put in our names. The hostess said it would be about an hour to 90 minutes. They didn't have pagers or a loudspeaker system so it was her yelling out names above the din of the crowd. She said just check back with her at 8. We went and had drinks at Gameworks and came back at 8 and checked in with the hostess. She told us at that point an hour. A little annoyed, but we decided to wait. About 45 minutes later we checked with her again and she told us an hour. I'm not sure if it was really an hour or not, but, it was terribly disorganized. My husband and his friend also saw someone the hostess apparently knew come up and they were told the wait would be 20 minutes. We weren't the only irate would be customers at that point. We just decided to leave and go elsewhere. They really need to get a handle on managing their waiting list. It was a dissapointing experience and we didn't even get to try the food.

I feel so sorry for the poor staff having to work with such an execrable and awful product, they worked and tried hard , but this is the most pathetic awful restaurant i have ever had the displeasure of visiting , the signature cocktail was watery overpriced tasteless slush, and the less said about the burgers the better, this place is doomed to failure, truly awful

Went there on Tuesday evening around 7. We were a table of 5, and we're seated at a long table outside with another 5 people. That was fine even tho we were the only people outside. Waitress was fun but drinks took forever to come out- water, cokes and bar drinks. After all our orders were taken- finally salads came out after another 15 minutes- minus my husbands. We all finished those and the other groups food came out- 3 of the 5 had to send theirs back. The steaks were still mooing! They got the new food before ours came out. The meals came out one by one, except mine. Waitress put wrong order in. She offered to put it in but honestly the rest of my party was done eating by then. She offered a dessert or something else so we picked brownie. It was good except no ice cream which it was supposed to have. We got the bill, my meal wasn't taken off or husbands salad. The manager finally came over asked if everything was good - we said no and explained the bill- she grabbed the bill and said she would see if there was a problem. She never apologized and was defensive. The other group had to take bill into restayunt to pay. Our waitres felt bad- we told her it wasn't her fault and still tipped her well. My son works at high end restaurant and daughter works at mid level. They both were shocked at managers attitude. I emailed dicks that night from website. Still have not heard a thing. Been to many dicks around the country- loved them all. Will NEVER go back to this one

If you're looking for a quirky, fun place to grab a crafty drink with a souvenir glass this would be the place. Surely with warmer weather, the patio would be a nice place to do so. If you're looking for a great food experience don't bother. We ordered what was supposed to be chicken bites and there was a questionable amount of fried stuff, including a shrimp tail in the entree and it was served barley warm like it was basically from the bottom of the fryer since it was served in about 5 minutes as the kitchen staff seemed to be taking their break. There was some entertainment from some staff and other guests, but overall, just head to the nearest fast food chain for a better quality of food.
