    Dick's Last Resort. I think they have them multiple places, but I've been to the one in Dallas. Like the name implies, all the waiters act like dicks. They talk trash, throw your napkins at you, if you ask for a refill tell you to get it yourself, and all kinds of stuff.

    The last time I was there I went to the bathroom and came back to the table where the waiter asked me if I washed my hands. I said yes, and he asked me what color the soap was. I couldn't remember so he announced to the entire restaurant that I went to the bathroom and came back to the table without washing my hands.


    I went to the one in Vegas...Excalibur I believe. It is comical. The more the waitress insulted us the more I wanted to tip her!! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Yeah, they're hilarious, they are actually trained to be obnoxious. I like the paper hats they write the mean shit on. I saw a picture on the internet of a girl wearing one where the waiter had written "So easy a caveman can do it", and one of a guy that said "My Date For Tonight" with a picture of a hand drawn beneath it. I had a waiter write "Poster Child For Birth Control" on mine once.

    In Vegas they wrote on mine "I'm with her" and pointed an arrow to my fiance. On hers they wrote "I'm blind". :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Chef Point Cafe just outside Ft. Worth, TX. A gourmet restaurant inside a gas station.

    The food is fabulous. I haven't been there since they recently enlarged the restaurant. It was originally just a little hole in the wall.

    They've been written about in national publications. It's not a gas station that was converted to a cafe. The people who own it wanted to open a restaurant but couldn't get a loan. So they got a loan to open a gas station and put a restaurant in it.

    Opaque in Santa Monica

    You get a complimentary drink while you order in the light, but then they take you into the dining area and lead you to your table in the complete dark. The waiters that lead you to the table and serve you are also legally blind. Pricey, but good food. Senses kind of go on overload. Really interesting concept.

    Same thing exists here in Zurich (called Blinde Kuh, or Blind Cow - it's derived from the name of a popular children's game). I've never been there but heard that it is a very special experience. They even claim to have been the first in the world to take up the concept...

    I highly recommend it. There's one in San Fran and New York. It looks like on their website they're opening one in San Diego and Dallas.

    I live about 5 minutes from a little seafood resaturant called Clarks Fish Camp. It's right on Julington Creek, just off the St. Johns River. Anyway, in addition to the normal seafood fare, they have some crazy menu items (ostrich, rattlesnake, alligator, eel, rabbit, buffalo, antelope, etc.) the entire restaurant is also FILLED with taxidermied animals. Check it out!

    That sounds a lot like Ed Debevic's in downtown Chicago. It's a hamburger joint with a '50's theme to it and the waiters trash talk everyone. The last time I was there my phone rang while the waiter was at our table, he answered my phone and went around the restaurant taking orders...the whole time talking to the person that called me!

    Went to this place in Phoenix. What made it cool is all of the employees wear face paint like Alice Cooper.

    Reminds me of the time I went to Sizzler, and the power went out so we ate in the dark!
