First stop of a light rail pub-crawl. Food were overpriced and just plain bad. Drinks were watered down and expensive. If you find it gratifying to be belittled others, you can get it free at Ground Zero. (just kidding to GZ fans!)

Okay I'm a little peeved that few of the reviews I saw actually discussed the food or the drinks. Cmon people, if I want to know how great a place is, I need to hear more than about the attitude of the staff. Honestly? People come here FOR the snark. The whole schtick of the place is about "they have hooters, we have dicks." Mind you, if my colleagues hadn't wanted to come here I might not have given it a second thought. That said, I'm glad I did. I'm from NYS which means attitude and snark are not only expected, but encouraged. It all depends on the ambience you're looking for. Dick's Last Resort is a fairly PG-13 (I wouldn't bring small children) version for adults looking for a fun night out. How's the food? Our table was quite pleased. I had the half rack of ribs dinner, two others got the shrimp 3-ways platter (I don't recall the name), one got the BBQ Platter and the last, the wings n rubs. In my opinion, the ribs were tender, more of a dry rub than BBQ and quite delicious. I'm glad that although I was teased for not getting a full rack (I opted to keep my reply clean), it was a copious amount of good (see picture). They were meaty, tasty and tender. The drinks tasted weak to all of us until we ordered the Bartender's special Long Island Iced Teas. A former bartender myself, I can assure you they were made correctly. I came to MN expecting the stereotypical kind Minnesotan experience and loved the way they dish mock attitude here. Anyone who is offended needs to lighten up a bit. It's all in good fun and the food was decent. I give it a 5 for all of the above.

I don't know why this place gets bad reviews but our groups had a good time. We had a lot of laughter going on at our table and we were able to start a decent conversation with the people next to us. The servers were hilarious, eventhough they probably used the same jokes over an over again but can't blame them. Food was great! We got the bbq nachos and those were fantastic! We also got the bbq combo dinner entree and it was a pretty good portion but too pricey.
(4)Christopher S.
AWESOME PLACE. I mean, really. Awesome. Would I kid you? The ribs. The wings. The fish and chips. Ambiance be damned. And you best pack your sense of humor.
(4)Alex H.
Amazing restaurant! Not from Minnesota and have never been to the Mall of America and was told this is a must place to eat! And she was right. The atmosphere was perfect. Service was fast and food was delicious. The waiters are complete dicks and it's hilarious. The hats they made for us and others were freaking hilarious! Must be nice to have their job, get to be complete dicks to everyone and anyone and you cannot get in trouble. Haha Our server, "Tom the sexy bearded dude," as he liked to be called, was a total dick! This guy deserves a raise. I really wish they had one of hear restaurants in the Des Moines area. When I go back to the Twin City area, I will be stopping here again! Big groups are always welcome.
(5)Greg H.
Our server was rude but didn't cross any lines. Made really funny hats. The food for our group was average for burgers, fries and buffalo spuds.
(3)Shawn A.
If I had to base my review in the first time I was here I would have given it another 2 stars. This place is purely for entertainment purposes due to the staff being sarcastic and rude to you on purpose. The food stinks. The drinks are WAY TOO spendy. Like sickeningly overpriced like I was at Disney or something! The first time I was here we sat in the dining room with the kids and the staff were way more funny and not as over the line. This time I sat in the bar with my best friend and the entire time were jokes and insults of a very crude sexual nature which walked a fine line between their intended "rude waiter" schtick and just plan disgusting and too too much out of line. Save your money!!
(1)Rich M.
Always fun at these places, employees make it what it is and if you like insults, stop on by. Food was decent as well
(4)Jason K.
I went in here after a Vikings game at BW3 to waste some time and I ordered a tall beer, little did I know this would be a 32 ounce huge glass I would have to pay $15 bucks for. Are you F'ing serious? Yes, you take the glass home, but this is an obvious tourist trap. Plus I got a refill, and that was $11, since I didn't know they were screwing me over in the first place, yes, I asked for a second beer. They did have a few TVs with football games, but they treat you like crap and expect to be rewarded for this. For football, how do you not have happy hour specials? $30 for two beers after tip. My retching at the prices looked liked the guy on the logo. Definitely better deals on Sundays than this. So Angry.
(1)Catherine H.
If I could give this place a negative star rating, I would. I don't even care that they make fun of you here. I get that's the point of it. My friends said they'd been to fun ones before and it's funny. I truly hated this experience. 1) Our waiter sucked. Definitely not funny at all. 2) (Most Importantly) The food SUCKED. I've honestly eaten better at McDonalds. We ordered the BBQ "Tot-chos" and even our waiter said it looked like a pile of s***. I got the fried chicken which was more like fried chicken niblets (disgusting). It smelled worse than my dogs food. 3) The drinks suck too. We went here on a whim and NEVER again. The people that work here are the bottom feeders of the mall and the chef is absolutely terrible.
(1)Lisa F.
Food was ok. Actual wait service was just like any other place, except for the goofy hats. We were hoping for the real Dick's experience. The closest we got to the "dick" treatment was the host that made a huge production with an almost empty restaurant behind him about NOT seating partial parties. I suggest spending your time and money at other venues in MOA. Buffalo Wild Wings, Crave and Hard Rock are way better.
(2)Andrew S.
Literally the worst place to eat in the Mall of America, its shtick was overplayed and it's food was worse. The ribeye was over seasoned and the corn seemed to come from a 30 year old can of Green Giant. The Gator Bites were average at best and overpriced, the basket was full with tortilla shreds and little more. Save your money, or if you must at least go to Hooters at least they have good food.
(1)Bruce D.
If you are over 30 this is not the place for you. Almost all the offerings are deep fried. The dinner menu was listed on the wall by name. The server was to shout at the group about the menu items. I understood about 25% of what was being said. Prices are the type you charge one-time only customers. I can not believe that they get any return customers. The only way I would return if Dick's Last Resort was really the only place open, ie the last resort. I had alligator and peppers. For deep fried food it was ok.
(2)Katie C.
If you want entertainment, this is a great place. If you want a great meal, avoid this place. Seemed like it was microwave TV dinners. My son had a blast with the wait staff misbehaving and we enjoyed watching him. Staff was super friend/mean and we loved it...if the food was better, it would be a hit!
(2)Marie G.
If I could give them less than one star I would. I get the whole rude thing that's their deal but our waiter took it to a whole different level. He flipped me and my young kids the bird. This crosses a line. We walked out and the two tables (one with a baby and maybe a 6 year old) next to us watched with their jaws on the ground.
(1)Jen W.
I was dragged in by my cousins. They were pretty excited to check it out. I was annoyed with the place from the start. Nothing on the menu appealed to me so I left to get ice cream and came back. My cousins wanted to buy me something so I ordered a ginger ale that was watered down and flavorless. I found the staff to be friendly and fun, our server was pretty awesome, but one guy serving the table beside us was very obnoxious. I didn't like that their dinner entertainment envolves being wasteful. They put 12 straws in my drink and they throw unused straws and napkins at people and all over the floor. I know it's supposed to be outrageous but do they really need to create more trash?
(1)Jenifer M.
Mildly entertaining change of venue, good for a few laughs and ok, hilarious hats. Be prepared however, for MOA price gouging and mediocre food. FUN: (mostly) is the wait staff, who whip about insults, snarky comments, and the affor-mentioned funny custom made hats constructed by your server with a comment (ex: mine said "retired pole dancer", which was uproarious). What takes away are the incredibly pricey drinks (8 bucks for a little bloody mary, $22 for a 20 0z beer-who gives a shit if you can take ho me the two dollar glass? Finally, we were looking forward to our Bucket of Grub (aka catfish and tots) which is served actually ON TOP of said bucket atop a piece of butcher paper. Tots served in a way less than full plastic basket on the side. All together the food would not fill the bucket. Boo. Friends who ordered burgers were satisfied with standard burgerness.
(3)Tiffany H.
I went here with my boyfriend with both us of thinking it would be a funny and a cool experience however we left there feeling very sick and traumatized because of the bad food we were served. We got a philly cheese steak and a buffalo chicken sandwich with ranch. The Philly Cheese steak was not great..it was more soggy than anything. I'd rather get a sub at a fast food chain. The buffalo chicken sandwich... It was disgusting. I'm sure that Dick's Lasts Resort uses old freeze burned food because the actual chicken was crunch and chewy. It was not at all how chicken was suppose to taste. It was so sickening to chew into and to experience the awful texture. The crunchiness of what is suppose to be chicken felt like biting into soft rubber and the sogginess of the philly cheese steak did not help at all. We went here on an empty stomach so we tried to take a couple of bits and push through it but we couldn't. We're very disappointed and did not finish the sandwich. After leaving Dick's Last Resort we could not get ourselves to really do any window shopping like we intended to do in Mall of America. We both feel so sick to our stomachs from remember what we just ate. We spent the next 5 hours after this visit still hungry,regretting the decision, and hating ourselves. The server on the other hand was other issue. Yeah I get that we were suppose to be treated rudely as part of the experience but that doesn't excuse the poor service. It took him too long to take our orders and we saw others served before us. We were probably the last ones to get a 'hat'. The experience also did not feel genuine. It felt like forced humor and rudeness which maybe it's not the place for some but regardless the food and the service time was horrible. I don't recommend it at all. I've also heard other Dick's Last Resort have similar problems (poor food quality). I would avoid going here unless it really is your last resort...
(1)Erin B.
I get it. It's supposed to be fun right? I mean, I have a great sense of humor and pride myself with sarcasm; but these kids are more like ADHD assholes that have tasteless senses of humor. The only way I'd go back is for a beer with a big crowd. The 3 meatballs for $14 were amazing (sarcastic). Just be careful of the amo you give to them because it will be used against you. Not a good place for the easily offended people. It's like dinner and a show, only you're the butt end of it all.
(3)Brian H.
When we walked in I was not impressed at all. After about 30 minutes, it started to grow on us. The attitude was initially a bit annoying but was not a problem. They definately put in much more effort into their customer experience than most places. The food was decent. ...not great....certainly not terrible. The Havana Mule was pretty good...but not $13 - good! If you want a place that is fun....this is the place. If you want great food....this is your "Last Resort."
(3)Kevin B.
Typical. Fun if you are in a group. Otherwise, keep walking.
(2)Ben D.
I'm sort of cynical and people tend to think I'm being an A-Hole at times. I think that's part of why I enjoyed the interactions with the staff here so much. Came here with my fiance, my brother and sister-in-law, and their new born for a supper treat. We came together from all across MN to hang out for the day and somehow landed on Dick's at MOA to eat. When we walked in I got into a debate with the host about the baby being or not being a person, somewhat unpleasant until I remembered that this' place is called "dicks" for a reason... Our server really was great. She was funny/witty, knowledgeable, honest, and helpful. Her hats were perfection (certainly would not meet the Yelp appropriate standards... but I digress). What really let this place down... was the food. How, please tell me how, is an appetizer sampler $20? I understand that it is a decent amount of food, but you have got to be joking!!! 5 Moz Sticks, 6 chicken wings, 6 chicken tenders, and a handful of fried pickles... And it being fried, of course not all of it was completely done. A few of the Moz sticks still had hard cheese in them, and the fried pickles breading was coming off. Upon viewing their actual menu I was disappointed to see that everything was very expensive (including salads that cost more than an entree), and nothing had a description so you honestly had no idea what you were getting... This just really wasn't my cup of tea. Fun, but not great.

Dick's is supposed to be a restaurant with a unique twist, the staff is intentionally rude with the intent of humor. Unfortunately, the experience comes off as forced, unfunny, and unenjoyable. Our waitress started our experience by critiquing our looks and questioning if we could even afford to eat there, which was mildly humorous. As soon as we were seated, our faces were blasted with a leaf blower, which was not funny for us, but could have been funny from their prospective. There was various other acts of rudeness, like throwing our silverware at us, and blowing hundreds of napkins at us with the leaf blower among other small things. Our waitress, after realizing we were not enjoying it, stopped with the "rude" act and started acting like it's a normal restaurant. She's alright. The food however was very expensive for the low quality. All if it was extra greasy with no flavor but the oils used to cook it. Drinks were also expensive. She asked if we wanted 22 or 32 oz beverages. We opted for the 32 oz beverages only to find out when we got the bill that they were $16 a piece! Yeah, we got to take the glasses home, but $16 for a single beer is outrageous, and a discounted $11 refill isn't any better. Avoid like the plague!
(1)Heidi S.
For my first visit to Dick's, not a bad one despite the "rude" staff! lol I had a lot of fun and feel like it was a great stop. Our hats were too funny, made me laugh out loud for sure. Food was good too!
(4)Sarah H.
We came here on our weekend getaway over spring break. It was our first time ever at a Dick's Last Resort location. I had heard about the hats, and my kids weren't sure what to expect. We had SUCH a good time! We all got a kick out of our hats, and our drinks ("toilet water" and "pee"). The food, though, was just okay. Nothing fantastic. If you don't have a sense of humor - this is NOT the place for you.
(3)KerriAnn V.
I have no clue who wouldn't like this place. Get a sense of humor and grab your dicks and head to the mall! David is awesome but we LOVE Nate! *smooch*
(5)Kyle C.
Well, it is definitely interesting. The food is pretty expensive for what it is, but service was friendly and fit with the theme. Kind of a divey little place that is good for large groups looking for an interesting experience. Otherwise, I would say pass.
(3)Germaine B.
Food is ok: I got the steak 'n shrimp... Steak was a bit tough, but the corn & herbed butter was delicious! This seems like a fun place for drinks at the bar. My five is based on the hospitality. "Service with sarcasm," indeed! Dave is a great person, and seems to be hardworking & efficient. Never met him before, but he certainly kept me entertained during my lunch hour/rough Wednesday. Thanks Dave & crew. Dicks trumps hooters for sure!
(5)John O.
Little bit spendy Make me feel more worthless, please Maybe I'll be back This is a place to go for the experience and not the food. For those who don't know, Dick's shtick is having insult comics be your servers. Apparently, one group was not in on the joke as they left within about 5 minutes of being seated. They must have gotten harsher than I got because I wanted more abuse. I have been to the original in San Antonio on the Riverwalk circa March 2002 (way pre-Yelp). I remember leaving questioning my dignity as a human being and having to pick up the pieces of my shattered life. Sadly, I did not feel as demoralized after my visit at MOA today. Worst I got called was "fufu" for having a Victoria's Secret bag sitting next to me. Unfortunately, not my purchase as I would rock that shit out. Only other insult thrown my way was the party hat (see my picture, and yes, she does). There were some other good hats that I saw. One said "even my hand rejects me" with an outline of a hand screaming "NOOOO!" Couple next to us got some good ones: female's said "I blow bubbles" and the guy's said " Hi, my name is Bubbles." On to the food though, nothing special and pricey for nothing special. Total for three entrees, four bottles of beer and one glass of wine was one hondo. The menu is up on the wall. Prepare to be insulted if you have any questions about it. Went with the Crab Cake Dinna'. Just alright. Dining companion got a bucket of the boiled shrimp. This is what I would go with if I go back again. Seemed like they did a pretty good job of segregating the kids from the grown-ups. Kids up front and big kids in back. On my way out noticed a kid with a hat that said "Dad's favorite mistake". Priceless.
(3)Shawn L.
Really need to read through the other reviews. I didn't, and we were told to try it. You REALLY need to be in the mood for rude servers. We walked out without trying the food. Didn't even get our drinks back...
(2)Jamie A.
Our waiter was amazing (fast and good at his job) BUT, the menu was small and the food was just average. I guess you go there for your paper hat...
(2)Michelle L.
Overpriced drinks, gross food and all while being insulted while I am there. Such a weird concept. I do not recommend. It appears they haven't cleaned since they opened. There was garbage all over the floors.
(1)Matt B.
Came to Dick's Last Resort for a work function and was incredibly disappointed. I had heard about this place before and to be honest, wasn't really looking forward to it, but figured they would tone it down considering the circumstances. Well I was wrong, and the sarcasm was just all around bad taste - the jokes were poor and unintelligent (I recall hearing a gay joke, which just ISN'T cool... not really a clever thing to shout in front of a liberal Minnesota crowd). Also, I'm not someone who deals well with real bad service, so fake bad service is just annoying. Also, when I ordered a Surly the bartender just said "NOPE" and refused to give me a Surly, saying that I had a choice between PBR, Golden Light and two other cheap beers. I figured he was joking, so I laughed it off and said "Okay, then can I get a Surly?" Well I guess he thought it was funny to continue joking about this, so he did. So I ended up buying a cheap, disgusting beer so he would just stop. Avoid this place.
(1)Logan N.
The food was reasonably priced and well cooked. It was a good menu and great food. I don't know that I would go again but it is an experience everyone should have at least once.
(2)Cheryl R.
Fun atmosphere, overpriced bland food. Go for the amusing decor and witty servers, not the food. Our meal for 4 without cocktails was over $100.
(2)Cole R.
This place gets it thrills on being "funny," but I didn't really think they were that funny. The food was very bland, greasy and overpriced. For example, we got our bill and for 1 modest drink( I got a beer) each and an entree each for 5 it was $160. Sure its a little bit fun and different, but ultimately its not that fun if your food is overpriced and not even good. I'd maybe go again if it was for a function or something but never by my own choice.
(2)Jim D.
A pub based on sarcasm and making fun of their customer, you would think would then be real good at customer service. Yes fun stuff happening with bras stapled everywhere many saying "I love Dick's". However we had to ask for help to get our first round and ask for our second round of drinks, when the bar was practically empty. I think that is what you get for hiring out of work stand up comics instead of professional bartenders. Now, that is funny!
(2)Karrie F.
Worst experience of my life. Crappy food. My son's burger came back red so I nicely asked him to put it back on grill longer and he initially said no. I don't let.my kids eat red meat so I asked him again and he said "fine" and threw my son's basket against the wall!!! Not something that needs to be done in front of an eight year old. What they potentially could be teaching our children. Even if I didn't have my kids, I would avoid this place at all costs!!! Sarcasm I can take. The rude, violent waiters I cannot. Plus, the food was disgusting and not cooked right. Definitely not worth the experience. Waste of 75$.
(1)Shelby M.
This place is horrible. I would give it no stars if I could. My boyfriend and I were told to sit down at a dirty table, I get it that they try to make everything funny but the people that work here act like overgrown teenagers that haven't grown up yet. When the staff is throwing a full red bull can that almost hits you you become annoyed. The old food and dirty napkins on the floor where sort of a turn off. I enjoy sarcasm and joking around but this was too much. I'm paying to eat some where and a little bit of common courtesy would be nice. After being handed my menus and told the seat myself at a dirty table I was not amused. The bartenders three of them just stood behind the bar and cracked jokes at us. I guess they weren't even jokes they were more like snide remarks. Eventually we just got up and left. nothing ordered 10 minutes had passed. Headed to the Cadillac ranch for lunch and the atmosphere was much more relaxing. I honestly can't see this place lasting at the mall for much longer
(1)Mike E.
Food very mediocre. Don't think this concept will work. Don't expect this place to make it
(1)Brad W.
Underwhelmed is my first thought. 40 minutes to put in my order add 20 mins for my food. I've had an equal quality shrimp at captain Ds and it didn't cost $17.
(1)Micheal L.
One visit and enjoyed it. The food was good and the prices aren't any different than many other resturants. We'll returned. The rude staff makes it fun.
(3)Mihai M.
We arrived there (2 adults and 3 kids) and asked for a table for 3 adults and 3 kids (we were meeting a friend). Place was empty. Still, The hostess very rudely replied that "they only sit complete parties and we can sit outside until then". We moved down the hall to CANTINA, where staff was nice and accommodating.
(1)Brian T.
It kind of sucks that I can't figure out how to rate this establishment any lower. It requires me to put at least one star. In all reality this place deserves a middle finger and a short-fused, lit stick of dynamite. Our bartender suffers from a level of narcissism I haven't seen since I looked in the mirror this morning. I will admit he threw out some clever banter, but frustrated me with his choice of Hawaiian shirt. I admit, I am jealous of his wardrobe. I wear a suit most days and he gets to sport an ocean scene complete with coral, and angelfish, mostly blue and unmatching with whatever else he wears. The food here could lubricate a formula one engine for an. entire 700 lap race across the Mojave. I counted t-minus 47 seconds before the Cheese sticks raced through my digestive track and almost ended on my barstool. The manager's name is apparently Marty, and in no way is he McFly.

I ate at the original Dick's in San Antonio several years ago. It was St. Patrick's day - the river was green in honor of St. Patrick's Day and our waiter Peter (his friends called him Long Peter and to be truthful he was very tall) was very rude and sarcastic, but with a sweet side. The place was packed with green attired revelers, all in high spirits. Flash forward to last night at Dick's in the Mall of America. Granted we were there pretty early for the dinner crowd, but there was hardly anyone there. After being seated we got the mandatory Dick's Last Resort bibs and our waitress came over to our table. We were waiting for rude - for sarcastic - in the mood for some put downs. Pretty much nothin though. Our waitress tried to be surly but it wasn't in her. I ordered a chardonnay which was OK and the boys had beers. Probably the best of our food was the BBQ half chicken with fries. The other food items were just not great. We did eventually get our paper hats with some pretty good verbage. We also got a bill of over $100 which seemed excessive based on what we had ordered and the quality of the food and lack of quality of the sarcasm.
(2)Crystal C.
We had lunch here yesterday with the kids, and while the food was mediocre, our waiter was hilarious and wonderful with the kids. We will definitely be back, just because they are so family friendly and service was fast.
(4)Martha H.
Entertainment was great but food was overpriced and awful. My bday party loved it but once again food overprice and awful.
(2)Chris B.
My coworker and I decided to go here after a double digit work day. It was pretty packed so we sat at the bar. Best decision hands down! If you are easily offended or put off by rude behavior do not go here, there a bazillion tgi Friday clones for you. The people here are extremely skilled and will try to get under your skin as much as possible. I thought my buddies were pretty witty but the stuff these guys come up with is so fast and hits hard. I was dying laughing for at least a dozen different bartender rants. Since it's the mall of America there's a lot of tourists who have no idea what kind of bar they just walked into. These are the guys just like your old high school or college buddies, a few years down the road that still have no filter at all. My food was great, I would recommend the chicken and ribs. Thanks guys for the entertainment!
(5)Mark C.
Don't come here with a bad mood. I understand the premise and appeal with "excessive sarcasm", but it's not my taste. I'm giving a low rating more so for the food. I ordered a 5 oz steak and it was smaller than that (I bring a food scale with me to weigh my food, I know I'm a square) at 2.9 oz. My green beans were immersed in bacon grease (defeats the purpose of vegetables from a nutritional standpoint), and my mashed potatoes were full of butter and overly peppery in taste.
(1)Jeremy D.
Ahhh... Dick's last resort. I stopped by for a bite last Friday night after remembering the fun and the banter I had at the Dick's Last Resort on the Riverwalk in San Antonio TX back in 1998. Unfortunately, this was nothing like my experience there. The snarky rude service can be a fun novelty - when done well. Again, unfortunately my waiter was either an amateur or an idiot (or possibly an amateur idiot). When I asked about something on the menu, he did the unbuttoning his pants thing - to which I quickly did mine and told him if we were having a contest, I was only pulling out enough to win. He couldn't really come back from that. I had the same experience with my meal that another reviewer had... after the waiter ate one of my 6 shrimp and then tried to throw one in my drink (missing and throwing it on the floor) I chuckled like I was supposed to and then kindly asked him to replace them (I am kind of a big guy with a big guy appetite - if I pay for food I get my food). He told me it would cost extra. I told him that it would cost FAR less for 2 shrimp than it would to fix his broken legs. He said "is that a threat?" and I said "yes" - so he said he would see what he could do and came back with 6 fresh shrimp for me. I don't blame the kid - it is obvious he is trying... but you really have to learn to play to your audience, be dynamic and not stick to something of a script. Towards the end he said to me "you probably don't really want a paper hat, do you?" And I told him "good call". I tipped well, he WAS trying afterall... and this is why I gave stars at all... The food was poor bar food. My steak overdone and the first batch of shrimp were obviously done WAY before the steak and thus had sat under a warmer and become dry. My beer was fine as a bottled domestic beer should be. With all of the fun places to eat in the Twin Cities - foodwise, you can do a lot better than Dick's. With the whole Dick's Last Resort reputation, these guys and gals have a lot to live up to - unless they step up their game, they won't be doing Dick proud.
(2)Phil N.
Really funny stuff. I was having a blast until I tried the food. I had the Dolly and it was terrible - tasted like it was fresh from the freezer (microwave fresh?). Bone dry and no seasoning. The rice with it wasn't cooked all the way and tasted like pure pepper. Sarcasm was funny from the servers, but don't mess with my food! If you come here, I would suggest eating beforehand and just getting one (overpriced) drink and enjoying the torment from the waiter. Anything more isn't worth it.
(1)Jacqueline D.
Great fun! Not for those who are sensitive & can't take a joke. Food was to be expected of a touristy type restaurant. Worth the experience.
(4)Katie T.
My son and I were meeting some girlfriends there while in The Cities, I was anxious taking a 4 year old to Dick's but had been assured that this was NOT like the others. They were right! Our waitress was awesome - she and my son had SO much fun teasing each other. We all got hats made (of course.) The wait was a little longer than I had hoped but hey it's Dick's! Food was great, drinks had little to what seemed like no alcohol - bummer! Overall this Dick's was a more family friendly rather than the one in Chicago/Vegas.. but you still got the experience.

Last. Resort. My sorority sisters and I came here to end our retreat on a fun note. We had obviously heard of Dicks and thought it sounded like a fun idea... But it wasn't in the end. The staff were jerks to the point where it sacrificed good service. All of our individual meals were $20-30 even though most of us got chicken fingers and fries and a drink. Our waiter said at the beginning of the visit that he wouldn't bring us water unless we ordered a real drink, so a lot of girls ended up ordering things they didn't want. I had the fresh squeezed lemonade to start, which I'm pretty sure is just Sprite, a half shot of vodka, and lemon and lime juice. The menu said it was supposed to come with 3 olives and didn't mention anything about the Sprite. Didn't want that much sugar in my drink, so I was disappointed when it came out. For my meal I had the half baked chicken. It was cooked super well and tasted delicious, but wasn't a rounded dish in itself. It was literally just a half chicken and some fries. Not worth $15. Then our waiter hassled us in a line to the cash wrap so he could get us out of there as quick as possible. He made it clear that he just wanted us out of there as quick as possible... Plus, there was a live band playing and we couldn't hear ourselves think! So we kind of wanted to get out of there anyway. Other girls in my group had issues with their meals as well. A girl who ordered iced tea only got half a glass, and they never refilled her. All the girls who got kiddy cocktails thought they tasted weird. And a few of our girls didn't get all their change because the waiter couldn't get the register open, so "Their loss." Also, the location, if I may say so, is not good for a restaurant. I'm tired of talking about this place. Just don't go here.

Great food, fun atmosphere. I ate the Big Pig and thought it was one if the best barbecued pulled pork sandwiches ever. I had hoped for slightly more sarcasm from the staff. I think they should kick it up a notch.

Im going to tell you a little story... Im on a business trip with the president of my company and my direct supervisor. We take a stroll around Mall of America one boring night. We're hungry and look at the restaurant list. I see Dick's Last Resort... I say, "Oh I heard this place is so funny, let's go". (mind you I am a solid 20 years younger than my bosses). So we go... Well, we sit down and it wasn't very funny. Its almost annoying the rudeness. ( I get the gimmick, but they should hire comedians or something) We eat, its gross, engage in awkward conversation.. yahtaaa yahtaa yahtaa. Then the waitress makes me a hat and puts it on my head. I see a look of horror on my bosses faces.... So, I take the hat off ... In big, black Sharpie letters it reads " I LOVE MUSTACHE RIDES" she proceeds to make my supervisor one that said "NO, I AM NOT CONSTIPATED, I JUST LOOK LIKE THIS" ....and the president of the company gets "VIVA VIAGRA" That sums up my experience here.

I decided to go here for my birthday party with 4 other couples on a Friday night. I have been the Las Vegas location twice and loved the entire experience. I wasn't sure what to expect since I was unsure how Dick's Vegas style was really going to compare to MN nice! First off, they wouldn't even seat the party until all the guests had arrived. With a party of 10, that seemed slightly lame since we all could have ordered drinks while waiting. Secondly, we were taken upstairs. I was initially happy about this since an extremely loud country/rock band was playing downstairs and no one could hear each other. When we got up there, it seemed to be where the kids were seated. I thought, great we are going to get the G rated version of this show. The server was funny and did a great job with the offensive comments and insulting hats! This was the only plus about this experience. She told us a story of when a lady slapped her once for one of her comments! The worst part of this whole experience was the food. Super expensive for little choice from an American style meal. It reminded me of elementary cafeteria food. I had a salad, which felt easy, but it was wilted, warm and the excessive amount of dressing was disgusting! I really wanted to love it here!

Fine for a drink or two and some bar food as a tourist, but I wouldn't go there for a meal or as a regular. It doesn't seem to be a great place for a date unless you're a teenager or a frat boy, and it's one of those places where a larger group works better than a couple because of the energy needed to drive the show. The whole insult thing was funny for awhile, but it was getting old by the time we left. If the place were more crowded that might have helped keep the buzz going. A few more beers probably would have helped too--I wouldn't want to spend much time there if I was sober. It's also might not be the best place for anyone who's easily offended, uptight or carrying a wagonload of pre-teens. I'm not certain if they tone it down when there are rug rats in the joint, but I don't know that I'd want to explain some of what's written on the hats to 10-year old: "Daddy, why does that man's hat say that if dicks were planes, then his mouth would be an airport?" I'm not certain I'm ready for that conversation.

This place is horrible, the food is nothing special and the servers don't know when to quit. Was there on a slow afternoon so of course that means we got the most attention from the other servers -- walking by and taking food from your plates (with their grubby hands) while your eating to having our plates taken away, without asking, while still more than half the food is on they plate. Doesn't help when any manager refused to talk to us because he sick of "taking to customers who don't get it" I get the joke of the place, but the place is a joke.
(1)Tom F.
The food is pretty good but a little overpriced. The service is funny and of course sort of rude. That's the whole point of dicks and it was fun and different.
(3)A L C.
Server was nice, but the food quality wasn't the best. We had the appetizer platter and it tasted dry and stale. It's the second time in two years we ate there, and while they didn't spill a lemonade in my son's lap this time I still wasn't impressed. Won't be back when there are so many other amazing places to eat around outside the mall.

Hey dicks, I'm giving you one lonely star. And you know what? That's one more star than you deserve. I get it, I get it. You're one of those places where people go to get treated poorly by sarcastic servers. When it's well done, it can be fun. (See Ed Debevic's in Chicago for a well-executed demonstration of this concept.) But you Dick's just don't get it. See, both times I've been in your restaurant, I've seen something that's egregiously offensive, and highly distasteful. Yeah yeah yeah, that's the whole point of this place, to be offensive. You're probably thinking, "This guy doesn't get the joke. What a loser." Not so much. See, what it boils down to is your stupid paper hats. You put them on customers, write something offensive on them that the customer can't see (unless they take off the hat) then shame them based on what you write for the rest of their meal. Here's the problem - both times I've been at your restaurant (and frankly, the word "restaurant" is a stretch because the food is just terrible) I've seen servers try to be funny by insinuating that a customer is gay. And you know what? That's wrong. Using sexuality to shame or embarrass someone is just as offensive as making a joke about someone's race or religion. There were no comments on ANY hats about either of those subjects, so what makes you think making fun of a teenage boy by using a gay joke is okay? It's not. Period. Let me tell you a little more, because I know you're somewhat new to Minnesota. We're liberal. We like people of all kinds. We're not a discriminatory culture. In November 2012, a marriage amendment banning gay marriage came up on the ballot here, and you know what? The entire state of Minnesota shot that amendment down. We're intelligent people. We're compassionate. We care about our neighbors. We're not turning our noses up at you because we don't get the joke - we turn our noses up at you because the joke isn't funny. Avoid this place. There are better venues in the Mall of America, I promise. And if you're looking for someone to be playfully rude to you, find a store in the mall that caters exclusively to teenagers. You'll find your fill there.

I recently visited the MOA and noticed they had a "Dick's" and decided to be touristy and try it out! My waiter was also the bartender and while being a smarta**, he was also very witty and engaged in conversation with me about my travels. Wish I could remember his name!!! I just had "Crabby Balls"(crab meat rolled into 8 balls and deep fried) and some ice water. Couldn't finish them because they were pretty greasy but that's to be expected. I enjoyed my experience,though and would love to come back and have a drink the next time I'm in MN!
(3)Beth P.
This is really one of those places that you go to once for the experience, and then you never go back. The burger I had was not good. Of course the waitstaff was fun.
(2)Greg B.
Never again!!! The theme of this corporation is supposed to be loud and in yer face... BUT ,,,, done with poise and maybe it could survive. But not here! Sat at the bar and ordered a $20 ribeye and a beer. The bartender was rude obnoxious and likes to drop F bombs like somehow its ok. You could feel the tension building between the customers. If this wasn't bad enough, I asked nicely for my beer i ordered after 5 minutes had passed. I got a loud " what do you want"? I said my beer please. Again ... Another few minutes while I watch people get served their beers and drinks that arrived after me. Not one but multiple drinks going out. Another few minutes and I blurted out " you gotta be kidding me!!!" Can I have my beer already? "Loser" behind the bar yelled "I told you I didn't have blue moon on tap" in which I replied yes, but you said you had it in bottle and that is what I ordered. He looked stupidly and said, oh, I don't have any here i gotta go get some from the cooler and walked off. Of course I left at that moment, I demand great service no matter what the corp theme is. This two bit wannabee bartender needs to go work construction somewhere where he can be happy and leave service type jobs for people that actually serve! Management is no better, I called and all I got was excuses as to why this is ok from a corp stance. It's never ok to make your guest uncomfortable and make them beg for their food and drinks! Close it reopen a service oriented joint like the Hooters next door! They rock!!!

My wife and I had some time to kill before going to a movie. After a hectic week we wanted to relax and get some cocktails and some food. Now, that being said we probably should have avoided this place to begin with but we got there, discovered the schtick, thought what the hell and decided to go with it. Why not. Might be good for a laugh. After being seated at a table for about ten we waited. Looking around at the wacky decorations. Time seemed to march on by. Servers would walk past, throwing insults at us as they went but no one came to our table. Who would eventually become our server headed toward our table after about five minutes. As soon as we made eye contact with him he did a overdone vaudvillian change in direction and walked away. Kind of funny bug over the course of the next ten minutes he did it three more times. Once he finally did make it to our table he threw some drink menues at us. And shouted how f*cked up their drinks were going to get us. He walked away without really talking to us saying he would be back later. And we waited. For ten minutes we waited. No water. No drink orders. Nothing. Other waiters would lift up their shirts and rub their bellies while unzipping their pants but none of them seemed interested in taking our money. We asked a passing waiter if he could grab our waiter so we could order and he told us to piss off. Now, I get the gag. More often than not I would be down for it and have a good time. But there is a difference between a goof and insult comics and terrible service. They could have all that goofy crap but at the end of the day I am coming here to give you my money. Even as we made the decision to leave and were walking out (after nearly 30 minutes of being there) we talked of how we might give it another chance a different time. The shirt litter upper server saw us leave and called us foul names. We came online and read the terrible experiences that many who stayed long enough to eat, drink, and pay had and changed our mind. I don't think we will give docks another shot. Expensive, crap food, slow swans the jerk attitude? Nah. You gotta br good at one of them for the attitude to work.

Bucket's O' Dud! Minnesota Nice? Not at Dick's Last Resort! Priding themselves with an atmosphere of being just that, a dick, but in more of a humorous way. Need some napkins? You better hope you're not by a fan, because napkins really take flight when they hit those things. Want to feel like a kid again? They may just put you in the grown up high chair. And if you want be completely humiliated... Let them place one of their home made hats on your head with a cleaver phrase, phrases I'll refrain from sharing here. SO! Now you have a feeling for what to expect when arriving, but it's about the food as well and that's where the fun stops for this patron. Not quite sure where to start... The price of the food being to high? The lack of food, both limited menu items and meal size? Maybe the not so great tasting food? I think you get my drift... After the speech I received about how awesome their BBQ is and how awesome their food is in general, I thought I was going to be getting something that would satisfy my appetite. I got the complete opposite! I ordered the Dolly Chicken - 2 chicken breasts grilled and BBQ'd, rice and corn. Dry, salty and ok - respectfully. As I watched some of the other dishes come out, I was shocked by the meal sizes. One of my friends ordered ribs and wings, something he had once at another Dick's location where they filled a bucket full of wings and threw on some ribs for good measure. That's what he was expecting, but that's not what he got. Instead, he received 6 wings, 1 large riblet and an empty bucket! Price? $17.00 and I would have rather went to Hooters next door! "Bucket's O' Grub?" Not at this place! If you want good food and good bang-for-your-buck, you won't find it at Dick's. Seriosuly, you're better off asking a friend who's never cooked before. I guarantee they'll do a better job just following some simple instructions and ingrediants. If you want to go for the experience and get a good laugh from reading some of the phrases on hats, fine, but expect to leave paying a pretty penny for very little food and nothing to brag about, except for the one liner you read. Maybe their slogan should be... Dick's Last Resort - "We really are your LAST resort for food!"
(1)Jaysun B.
I haven't laughed that hard for a wile, bartender was funny and a blast to talk to wile I was there, food wasn't bad. I'm for sure going again
(5)Lindsey D.
The food was sick. The employees took the rude schtick too far. I won't be back, so maybe you should adjust your business model...The waiter came over while I was sitting there with my dad's wife and asked if she liked meat in her mouth, twice. Then just stared creepy style. That's almost as gross as the terrible nasty food we ate.
(1)Nate J.
I understand the shtick and attraction but the food was only mediocre. This is not palace you want to bring the kids and the comedy routine is worth a one time experience but not worth the return visit.
(2)Kelly C.
Honestly. Staff is obnoxious and NOT funny. I guess they assume that screaming equals humor...NOT. Maybe if you are drunk it may seem humorous that a guy is obnoxiously yelling "hey lady" "hey lady" ohhhhh and the topper...if u are not gonna post your drink prices in the menu, could they at LEAST 'scream' a warning that their mucho frozen margarita is $19.50. I had no idea and about had a small child when I got the bill. Boo.
(1)Joshua W.
Met a friend and his girlfriend here for drinks. They had dinner, I just joined them later on. The waitress was the expected rudeness level, and had some funny sayings on our hats. After a bit it was much slower and our waitress came over, old us the story of the 1st Dick's and we chit chatted awhile (no insults :)) Got our tabs and needed to get out the vasoline. This place is spendy. My friend and his girlfriend had a $110 tab on 2 entrees, and app and a couple light beers. I had 2 craft brews (one being the 22oz Fat Tire however) and my tab was over $20 by myself. I liked the place but it would have to take a special occasion or birthday or something for me to come back. Maybe just to try the food... It seems to get either really good or really bad reviews. My friends thought it was better than fair, but what do they know, they are South Dakotans....
(3)Tom M.
Make sure you insult the waiters as much as they insult you. Lol. Food was just ok as we had a bunch of appetizers and the crab legs. Crab legs were tasty but small and overpriced. Fun atmosphere with staff insulting customers and customers insulting staff in return. If your sensitive about language this is not the place for you and should be a consideration if you plan to take the kids.
(3)Kelly H.
Our group was looking forward to coming here, but ended up VERY disappointed. The service was awful (and not because of the sarcasm-I THRIVE on sarcasm!) We went on a Tuesday afternoon, and the service was slower than slow, and should not have been considering it was empty in there. We ordered the cheese fries w/ bacon as an appetizer and received chili cheese fries. The chili tasted burnt-I thought it was gross. Overall, the food was mediocre. Between our group we ordered two orders of chicken fingers, the pulled pork and a bacon cheeseburger. The chicken had a lot of gristle(sp?), the burger was burnt, but no complaints about the pulled pork. In terms of drinks, it took forever to get them, which was very frustrating, especially since (as I mentioned it wasn't busy). If I lived in the area, I would give this place another chance.
(2)Glen H.
I have no other Dick's to compare it to, but I wouldn't waste my time or money there again. I expected rude and sarcastic remarks from the servers. Instead, I thought they were belligerent drunks. If you want rude service in the Midwest, you're out of luck unless you go to Ed Debevic's in Chicago. Minnesota is too nice to put on fake rudeness.
(2)Rafael B.
Went here for a corporate event. We were stationed on the 2nd floor. They made it fun for us during our corporate event. They hosted a scavenger hunt for our team building. It was a great idea. Other than this, food took along time, was over seasoned, and food appeared slapped n the plate. it is part of their concept but place is thrashed. I don't get why people dine there,
(1)Mel S.
Meh. I get it. Cracking rehearsed jokes, heckling, blah blah, but you know what? It was still BAD. It felt like the bartender was spitting out rehearsed lines from a script he had typed up in his head. Some things didn't even make sense. I like quick wit, improv like intelligent humor. The rehearsed lines felt embarrassing to have to listen to honestly. The guy actually did seem like an angry d-bag in a way. The males sitting next to us at the bar were treated like normal patrons, not even so much as a whisper of a heckling sarcasm from the bartender which just felt weird then. Not my cup of tea I guess.
(2)Amber E.
The food here is lackluster, even for the type of place this is supposed to be. The atmosphere, though briefly amusing, quickly wears thin. Check your straws when you get them. I saw servers tossing handfuls of them at tables, and quite a few wound up on the floor, only to be gathered up later. Makes me wonder if they're getting recycled.
(2)Eric Thomas L.
Atmosphere here is awesome. The waiting staff is a bunch of real assholes. They'll make fun of u for sure. Guess they have acoustic music on the weekends. Pretty cool bar. Have some alligator
(5)Mary Ann C.
This is always a fun place to visit, no matter what town you are in. Clearly not gourmet food, so if you are expecting such, you are in the wrong place. Rude servers are part of the "act." Our sandwiches were great. Loved the buffalo chicken. Not worth upgrading to chili cheese fries, as they were not impressive. The alligator bite appetizer was not worth ordering, as the pieces were very small and hard to dip.
(3)Anthony G.
Famously surly service! Unfortunately, infamously crappy food.
(1)Dave J.
This is a great place to bring kids. The theater that the staff puts on is terrific and entertaining. The food itself is three stars but outweighed by the total experience. Every time we are back in the cities we will come here!
(4)Andrea K.
I was just in there visiting my mom here in Minnesota from Alaska. Wait about two minutes to be seated which was great, then when being sat the host brings us to a high top with beers still on then, she takes the beers away, I asked if thats where she was sitting us she says yes, and walks away. I was not okay with this she didn't even offer to wipe off the table that had food on it still. So we decided we were going to leave so we let the male host know this and he asked why we let him know about the table and he got rude with us about it and said I'm sure it was just an accident when we told him she purposly sat us there with it dirty he got angry with us so we just walked away.when calling back to let the manager he didn't seem to care and rushed us off the phone. I'm only giving one star because I have to.
(1)Beth M.
We went here because there was no line to get in, and boy did we find out why. The food was so sub par I would never go back. The fried pickles were covered in this awful cornmeal like coating. It was grainy and flat. My husband ordered the catfish which was battered in the same awful stuff. He was only able to choke down one of the three. I ordered the southwest chicken salad. It came with a blacked chicken breast on top of romaine lettuce tossed in ranch dressing. There were a few pieces of corn tossed in there too. It was tolerable but very unimaginative. I ordered a Margarita and all you could taste was the sweet and sour. I sent it back and the second mixed drink was worse. The service was rude and funny and the only complaint there was I wish the waiter would have gone even farther with the rudeness.
(1)Ms.Liz F.
First time at the MOA and at Dick's. The ambiance was interesting. My group enjoyed the live band and our waitress was not that rude! Luckily, I didn't have anything embarrassing written on my hat, like everyone else! The drinks were good, but my food was way too salty. Other than that, I had a cool time!
(3)Marti E.
Poor food, not so funny insults, they were "out" of their house wine so had to get their next highest which was not so great for almost $7!! They also couldn't serve burgers after 4 pm cause their grill is too small???!!! Will never go back to any dicks last resort ever!!
(1)Tabi S.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere! My food was not so great- came out only lukewarm. I am interested in checking this place out again!
