Dick's Last Resort, San Antonio

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.
