Prepare 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.

Dick's Last Resort will join co-tenants Hooters, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, Delosa's Pizza and Restaurant, Kohr Family Frozen Custard, and Mad Beach Pub Craft Brewing.
The Dick's Last Resort chain has 12 locations including Daytona Beach, Panama City, and Fort Lauderdale.
The chain is reportedly opening another outpost in Orlando in early 2025.
The restaurants are filled with mismatched decor, discarded paper tablecloths across the floor, and paper hats with hand-written jokes and insults that customers are expected to wear as they dine.
Dick's Last Resort serves Southern comfort food such as chicken wings, cheeseburgers, BBQ pork, crab cakes, and catfish po-boy sandwiches.

Dick’s drinks include fun cocktails like the "Fruity Bastard," made with coconut rum, banana liqueur, and strawberry puree.
The drink menu also contains a selection of 45 oz fun bowls, such as the Basic B!%#h, which contains Deep Eddy Vodka, Sour, Triple Sec, simple syrup, and topped with a White Claw.
In March, the City of Madeira Beach approved a plan to designate 27 acres of the quaint fishing village to an “activity center”, allowing higher density.
Concerns were raised over developers potentially taking advantage of the new density and jeopardizing the area's character; however, supporting officials said the changes are necessary for Madeira Beach to align with county rules on development standards.
