Things to Know

Dickey's Barbecue Pit is a Texas-style barbecue chain known for brisket and smoked meats, but this particular location has inconsistent quality and service compared to other Dickey's restaurants.

While some customers have had pleasant surprise visits with tender brisket and good service, this location frequently disappoints with dry meat, inconsistent portion sizes, food quality issues, and staffing challenges that suggest it underperforms compared to other Dickey's locations.

  • Tender brisket with good sauce when prepared well
  • Friendly customer service and good atmosphere on better days
  • Meat quality is inconsistent and often dry, with reviewers noting it doesn't taste properly smoked
  • Staff frequently run out of items mid-day and have difficulty communicating with customers
  • Orders are frequently wrong—wrong meat substitutions without explanation, wrong items entirely
  • Side dishes are often cold, old, or unavailable; fried items take unreasonably long
  • Portion sizes are small for the price point, with meat portions appearing understuffed
  • Overall quality noticeably lower than other Dickey's locations according to repeat customers

We actually stopped her by accident. It has the same address as another restaurant we were looking for. Great surprise though. Customer service was good as well as the atmosphere. The food was pretty surprising. We got brisket, which was tender and the sauce was very good. The kiebalsa sausage was ok, should've had the spicy one. Overall it was good.

Visited this establishment and ordered 2 meat plates- I ordered Brisket and another meat. When I came home one plate had sliced brisket while the other plate had some pulled meat. After calling the store to ask what happened I was informed that they ran out of Brisket and gave me the remains. Long story short, the customer service was terrible, I was told they did not know when the supervisor would be in the store. I will never come back to this restaurant. Terrible!

Extremely Disappointed I'm really sorry to say this, but my experience was far from what I hoped for. First off, the portion sizes felt stingy for the price. I specifically ordered burnt ends, but was given brisket instead—without any explanation. The chicken wings were pink in the center, which raised concerns about whether they were fully cooked. On top of that, the fries were cold, old, and completely flavorless. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place based on my visit. I expected much better.

Not sure what is happening here, the food is definitely not the same quality as all the other dickies restaurants that I’ve been into. The meat does not even taste smoked. Not sure about all these other reviews saying that this place is great. Maybe they just have not been to a real dickies before I wouldn’t waste my time on this location again I would drive out of my way to go to a real dickies next time. I got the chopped brisket and when I got home, I realized that it was not chopped. It was just cut into very big cubed pieces so I literally had to cut it myself once I was home and ready to eat for $40 I just expect better. The service was OK. I didn’t have much interaction with the cashier because I placed an online order, but the lady in front of me had a heck of a time placing her order because the lady at the register spoke little to no English. And as far as the restaurant itself, not sure why it still has the advertisement for the restaurant that was there before them. If it weren’t for the small sign on the door that said pick up your dickies order here I wouldn’t have even seen this place.
