We hadn’t been to Dickies in quite awhile but decided to have dinner there a couple of days ago. First of all Xavier provide great customer service. He gave us a sample of their chili which was great so we added that to our order. We got the brisket plate with Mac & Cheese and the Loaded Baked Potato Casserole. We were pleasantly surprised that everything on the plate tasted very good. The brisket was very tasty. We had enough leftovers for the next day. By the way great 80’s music. We will make it a point to come her more often.

Fantastic food, and wonderful service. The guys working here were super friendly and helpful. We got the picnic pack with pulled pork, and some kids meals with brisket. The meat was delicious! The baked potato casserole and rolls were so good.

Over a 30 minute drive from where I live and I need to come back to this place! The manager/owner Steve was such a gentleman and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of and felt at home in so many ways. He took pride in his work of both his culinary efforts and customer service. He expressed he will be changing the location to his own BBQ joint and I can’t wait to see how quickly this place turns around under his efforts! All in all, food and service were amazing!

First thing I have to note is that the owner seemed weird, even when we asked innocent questions, he seemed to be very defensive. For example: we asked: “is this how the brisket is supposed to be cut for a double order, it just seems small?” Since we got a double order of meat, we just expected it to be more. We weren’t being hostile or Karen-y about it at all. He responded: “yes I weighed it and cut it myself,” even though we literally witnessed the other person do it…. such a strange way to answer to question and so defensive. Also he (or another employee) smokes cigarettes just outside the back door and it wafts through the whole area. I love the smell of barbeque smoking, grew up in the South where it was common, but the tar and putrid smell of cigarette smoke is unlike any other, so I am not mistaken with the smell here.

Under new management and this place is INCREDIBLE. The food is delicious, the manager is so friendly and welcoming (and is going a great job training new staff to be just as awesome). They are clearly very popular with take out and delivery orders, but the staff always prioritize in-person customers. The location is very tidy and well kept. The location doesn’t offer ALL of the sides that some other locations offer, but they are very good and clear about communicating those differences. In addition to simply DELICIOUS food I’m a huge fan of all the gluten free options. The BBQ sauces are all gluten free, and they have plenty of sides that are also gluten free. They do a good job of keeping the work surfaces clean so the bread products don’t accidentally spread crumbs on the meats. (I have Celiac disease so I need to be super careful about cross-contamination. Which is challenging for restaurants to be able to guarantee. So far so good!)

Wonderful flavors!!! The barbecue beans are the best anywhere. Ordered the 2 meat plate with brisket and pork. Amazing. The coleslaw was very fresh and tasty as well. I highly recommend this barbecue for those who love the excellent flavors of smoked meat. Yum! Sorry no photos of the food. I devoured it before I thought about the review.

We had the brisket, pulled pork and chicken. They do a badass job smoking the meats and the sides are all made from scratch. It was kids eat free on Sunday so the value proposition is excellent. Would recommend to anyone.
