| About: | This is by far one of the happening restaurants on the River Walk, so diners can expect loud music, great food, cold beer and steely attitudes from the staff. Do not take your in-laws or your children; unless, of course, they can swig a long neck and crack crab legs with the best of 'em. The food here is good and has a definite Cajun flavor. All entrees either arrive in a bucket (craw fish and crab legs) or on top of butcher paper (hamburgers, ribs, chicken). It's messy, but fun. The crowd tends to get a little crazier the later it gets, as the restaurant gradually morphs into a full-fledged bar with live music every night. |

Here's the truth about d*ck's.
I went to Texas to see my brother who is in the air force. D*ck's was a couple of blocks away from our hotel, so we decided to have lunch at d*ck's.
We were seated,greeted by our waiter,and that's when the drama began. The waiter threw each menu at us (we were a party of 6). We couldn't believe it, we didn't know the reputation of d*ck's...we were surprised but thought it was funny. The waiter told us not to take it personal because "that how d*ck's manage it's restaurant". Okay...so we looked over the menu. I had a question about one of the meals, the waiter looked at me like I had two heads, walked away and never answered my question. Okay...so we ordered anyway. The server brought us our drinks. We asked for straws. He never brought it to us. So my father asked a second time and the waiter said "straws are for gay men" we didn't find his comment funny at all.. He walked away, and I was uptight that he had made such a thoughtless comment. So I called him over and asked for straws again. He walked away and brought us back coffee straws (the little red stir straws). Hahaha, funny but I told him we really wanted regular straws. So believe it or not, the waiter came back with about 50 straws and threw it at us. It struck my brother and myself in the face. I was so mad, I got up and screamed at him, and asked him, how is throwing straws in someone's face funny. And he said, I always throw things. So I said how would you like it if I threw something at you. He didn't say a word, I'm guessing he was in shock that I was so upset â see, he's used to treating people this way and he's never reprimanded for it. So we left without paying and went to saltgrass, (couple of blocks away) where the server's were polite, and the food was amazing.
If you like to be degraded or if you think being disrespected is funny, then this is the place for you. I have a sense of humor, but his actions were not funny at all. Iâm from New York, and in New York we donât take being disrespected lightly. D*ckâs better watch it, because they are going to do that to the wrong person â and guaranteed the waiters will think twice of being rude.
D*ck's gave us a horrible experience - but it's okay, because there are so many other great restaurant's along the riverwalk.
I didnt eat at dicks but had some drinks and i loved it the wait staff are smart asses rude and full of insults the waiter told someone that if they wanted to be taken seriously go to the hard rock they would kiss there ass AWSOME I LOVED IT will go back for sure the next visit to san antonio
the waitstaff are all smart asses!
it was so much fun and SO different!
our waiter joked around with us, yet he was still very attentive. I had the fried shrimp, and although it was expensive, it was AMAZING! all of my friends loved the food as well!
the only complain that i have is that the tea was really gross and the sodas were really syrupy.
and just a suggestion! if you have kids or if you have a dull sense of humor, DO NOT GO HERE!
the waiter seemed to have offended the parents of the children with their vulgarity.
this place is PG13.
i LOVED it!

I went there and didn't care for the experience either but that's the whole gimmick for dick's, everyone who works there gets paid to act like a dick. Some people like that stuff, I could never see why but whatever.
Buddy, do your research. This place is designed to treat people like that. The guy was doing his job. If you are from New Yotk you should have felt right at home. Just kidding dude! Think of it this way, you could bring the in-laws or a ignorant relative there and act surprised when they have their food thrown at them. I think I might be thinking about The Magic Time Machine . Oh well, one of them actually throws the big end items like a chicken leg or corn at you. Make sure to dress not to impress here.
