For the price and what you get, as well as the updated menu - this place is okay. Beer here is a little pricey compared to other restaurants (and especially their store attached). I had a lamb shank in a mushroom red demiglaze a month ago as a special and it was fantastic, although I haven't found any more specials since then. I was skeptical to try their pasta, since El Fidel has that down, but Dick's has proven that you don't need to overprice "foreign" food to sell it. Very hearty bolognese sauce. Also, their buffalo wings are some of the better ones in town, but be prepared to order a lot of beer because they are extremely spicy.
I hear their New Mexican food is pretty good, but I would rather go somewhere more specialized if I was in that mood.
(If you want similar, cheaper food, cheaper beer, and a quieter atmosphere, I would recommend the 5th Quarter Grill).
The bar itself is pretty crazy at night. Especially during the summer, the locals fill this place up and people like to play dress-up when they come here. Entertaining. Otherwise, during the fall and spring, it's a little more packed on weekends with the college students there (being a 5-minute walk from Highlands...) If you stay with cheap beer or local drafts, you can leave with a small bill. They have this specialty drink called a 'Trashcan'... It's interesting. Vodka, Rum, Blue Curacao, and a Red Bull stuck in the top for $12. Do not plan on driving after that.
We used Dick's catering service for a work lunch and the food was a hit. Not only was the food great but the delivery was right on time and the presentation was very professional. Foot and Ankle Associates will definatly be using this service again in the future after such a great first experience.
Review Source:The wait staff doesn't come around nearly often enough to check if you need anything. Â I've visit this bar/restaurant several times a year for the past 20 years, and I can easily say that this is the worst wait staff they've ever had. Â
That said if you find yourself eating at the bar or in the restaurant they have pretty good deli sandwiches and some of their starts and entrees  are not bad. Try the green chile cheese fries or the New Mexico bagel. They also have a nice selection of domestic and imported beers.
If you sit in the bar you can order from both the deli and the restaurant, but if you sit in the restaurant you can't order form the deli. If you do sit in the bar, sit at the bar for quicker service otherwise you may not get helped.
OMG the food at Dick's is amazing! They advertise as having the best food in town, and it's true. They also have a HUGE menu -- so many things to choose from like Mexican, American, Italian, and more. The beef tacos have been my favorite so far. The angry Italian dish is good too, but a little sweet for my taste. They also have a little convenience store attached, and it has a nice variety of specialty beers.
Review Source:A word of warning: this is no longer the Dick's of days gone by. There is possibly new ownership/management and the menu has been pared down to hot/cold sandwiches and not much else. Gone is the meatloaf and chicken fried steak and practically everything on the kids menu.
Every year we make our pilgrimage to this once-great place and this year we were sadly disappointed; the food sucked. I mean really sucked. I asked the waiter what was up and he blurted out something about looking for a new chef and how things lately have been disorganized but that they hope to get back on track and we should check back in a few months (!?). That won't be happening.
It's a sad, sad day for Las Vegas, NM...
How crazy is this place.. ?..
We got there around 10 or so.. A friend walked in the front door of this convenience store it looked like, and then led us through what looked like a back door and into a bar.. After the bouncer checked our id's we walked up to the bar.
The friend I was with was none stop saying hello to people. I made the joke that she was really cool. She explained that no, just the whole town was there..
The drinks were good, the kereoke was great. And getting to see the other people who live here was amazing..
It was a fun night.
This is just for the bar...
Admittedly it has been a while since I have been here. Â While I have yet to enjoy their more "formal" restaurant fare, I have fond memories of thier lunch offerings. Â Their soups and sadwiches were always fresh and tasty. Â Mostly my fond memories are of getting together with friends on evenings and enjoying the bar to its fullest extent.
For first timers here, Â you have a few options on how to enter, through the front Liquor Store doors and you will be direct back to the bar and restaurant or thru the side door off of 7th St. Â
When I am back in town I usually call up a few friends and stop in only to see many of the same faces, standing in the same corners talking to the same people. Â Ahh Las Vegas...
Dick's Liquor, Deli (and Restaurant) is complex.
From the street, it's easy to think it's just a liquor store.
The front half is a liquor store, espresso and deli. The middle is an old 80's style sports bar, ala Patrick Swayze's Roadhouse, and the back end is a full restaurant. In fact, Mr. Swayze, who owned land in LV, has a sandwich named after him.
Minus one star: The side dish pasole can be a bit salty, like it's been sitting on the stove all day long.
