Dick's Last Resort: Just go, for the hat.

Dick's Last Resort is a chain... you know how they go. The waiters throw your forks at you, make fun of you, and give you hats that say just the opposite of what ya really are... they PICK ON YOU!!! It's great fun though. The food isn't the best but the fun is worth it. And, what's better than humiliating your kids and the elders you take with you?

We went our first night at North Myrtle because 1. I had been talking about it for weeks, how cool and fun the place was! and 2. we were frakking hungry, wanted some greasy food, and well Barefoot Landing (where Dick's is located) was very close to our resort.

The kids, to this day, still talk about how awesome and fun it was there. We sat outside, because inside it was just too dang loud. We got to talk, be talked to, talked with, and well we got our 'condom hats', and the kids remember (each letter) what our hats said, especially dads...

The food itself is so greasy, you will probably lose an artery or five or perhaps be put on whatever hyptertension meds there are out there, once you return from vacation. But hey, it's vacation. So eat, drink, be happy, and grease yourself to death. The drinks could have been stronger, but I solved that by marching to the bar and proclaiming my Irish heritage and demanding I get 'what I pay for', and was happily given another shot of liquor into my little cup.

The surroundings of Dick's at Barefoot Landing itself is something you'll want to really take in. Lots of shopping, lots of scenery (watch for the alligator in the water!), the people, the tourists. The wait staff themselves are a sight to behold; they are there to entertain your touristy butts, and they do a marvelous job at it! You can also shop (we spent as much in the gift shop as we did for dinner/drinks), and get yourself and your kids some shirts that say stuff like "I Love Dick's" that will get really interesting looks from the grandparents and others who don't know what the "Last Resort" is all about.

Favorite Dish: I got the fish something or other fried something with other fried stuff. Hubby got something that was also a fish fried something or other. My darlin' stepson got himself a chicken that was rotisserie or maybe it was fried too. Some sides that were fried (French?), and my daughter got herself something that was also steeped in grease of some type of meat variety.

The menu? All fried, very greasy, but OH so yummy. Kids will love it, adults won't mind it (to soak up all that alcohol), and well the butcher paper that the food is delivered on turns gray from all that grease... you get the idear.

Enjoy the banter from the wait staff; they love this job, they are great at it, and they treat us tourists like royalty (albeit a bit down on the ladder rung of royalty, mayhap).

Also, keep the hats, they come in handy when you've been parasailing or doing some other water-involved sport and yer butts are wet in the car. Just pull the butcher-paper, condom-shaped hats out of the trunk, flatten them out, and cop a squat - see? No wet seats in the family sedan!
