Read MorePrepare to get roasted at Dick's Last Resort, the restaurant chain known for "purposely providing bad service" and poking fun at customers.
The foul-mouthed eatery is coming to 111 Boardwalk Place West at John's Pass Village on Madeira Beach. The 3,000-square-foot space was previously occupied by John's Pass Grille.
Dick's Last Resort will open by the end of this summer, according to broker Corinna Gattasso, RIPCO Real Estate's Vice President at the Tampa office.
Gattasso represented local real estate tycoon Ben Mallah, Principal and Founder at Equity Management Partners in Largo, who has owned the Madeira Beach property since 2019.
Today, John's Pass Village is one of the top tourist attractions in Tampa Bay, featuring numerous unique shops, restaurants, and a boardwalk overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

There Goes The Neighborhood, a sarcastic and playful jab referring to the recent influx of high-rise luxury towers, is under construction at 129 1st Avenue North. The space was formerly home to Diagnostic Imaging at BayWalk.
"It will be a service industry-focused bar for locals to hang out at," owner Michael Jennings said to St. Pete Rising while touring the 2,000-square-foot space.
The concept is the brainchild of Jennings and his team at The Drink St. Pete Group, the ownership group behind a handful of other popular bars in downtown St. Pete, such as One Night Stand, Tequila Daisy, Whiskey Exchange, and Pour Judgement.
