Dick's Last Resort

After my recent visit to Dick's Last Resort in Gatlinburg, I just had to share more about what makes this place so uniquely fun, especially if you're planning a trip with family! Many of you might be wondering about the menu, what to expect with kids, or even what those infamous receipts are all about, so let me spill all the tea from my own experience. First off, let's talk about the food – because even though the humor is a big draw, you're still there to eat! The Dick's Last Resort menu offers classic American comfort food. Think juicy burgers, crispy fried shrimp, chicken tenders (a kid favorite!), ribs, and plenty of sides like fries and coleslaw. It's definitely casual dining, and the portions are generous. While I don't have the exact Gatlinburg menu prices on hand, you can expect typical casual restaurant pricing. It’s not a fancy gourmet spot, but the food is solid and satisfying, perfect for fueling up after a day exploring Gatlinburg. Now, for those of you with little ones, the Dick's Last Resort kids menu is pretty standard, featuring things like mini corn dogs, grilled cheese, and chicken tenders – all the usual suspects that keep children happy. What truly makes it great for families, though, is the staff's playful interaction. As I mentioned, our waitress was absolutely perfect with my three kids. They get into the spirit of things, and while they might playfully tease, they're genuinely good with children. We even saw packets of crayons being handed out, which is always a lifesaver for keeping younger diners entertained. One of the most talked-about aspects, and something that really caught my eye on our bill, was the hilarious "Annoying Kid Fee" listed on our Dick's receipt from the Gatlinburg location. Don't worry, it's all in jest and priced at $0.00! It's one of those fun, quirky details that makes the Dick's experience so memorable. Beyond the kid fee, the receipts often come with personalized, witty (and sometimes cheeky) comments from your server, making them a fun souvenir to take home. It's part of their unique brand of humor, and it really adds to the overall entertainment. If you're heading to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and looking for a restaurant that's more than just a meal, Dick's Last Resort is a fantastic choice. The atmosphere is loud, lively, and full of energy, making it a great spot for groups or families who enjoy a good laugh. You'll often see people wearing the paper "dunce caps" with funny sayings written on them, and many patrons love taking photos to capture the hilarious moments. Just remember, it's all part of the act – embrace the playful insults and go in with a good sense of humor, and you're guaranteed to have a blast. It’s definitely one of those #ThingsToDo that stands out from your typical dining experience!
