I do not recommend this place! A group of four of us came to have lunch here, we each asked for a pulled pork sandwich and ate inside the restaurant. Later on after we left all four of us started experiencing a stomach ache, following with diarrhea. I don’t know what’s going on in that kitchen but we caught a stomach virus here. I called in to let the manager know what happened to us. All the manager said was “ well I hope you feel better…” excuse me? And then tried telling me maybe it was something else we ate. Are you sure? Four different people that each met us separately here? It was after we ate here. Horrible customer service and the management is terrible! I will be calling sanitation here and reporting this manager. I want to advice everyone that has experienced something like this to report this place and comment here to avoid other people getting sick!

Ordered the 2 meat combo with brisket chili and brisket macaroni. As you can see in the pictures, the correct sides are missing due to them no longer offering them but still listed on menu for some reason. There’s also a Free Ice Cream sign posted by the front door but don’t get your hopes up. They don’t have that either . Food wise, chicken was okay.

I made a Waitr order for here, for one it took over an hour to prepare which is ridiculous because everything is already made & just needs boxing. Secondly, the portion sizes are a complete JOKE and a half. I truly cannot believe they sell THIS & 2 tiny sides for $18.25. The baked beans tasted like they were just a can of pork & beans dumped into the pot. The chicken was as dry as the Sahara desert. The brisket was bland. I don’t have one good thing to say about the food or the service here. My order came with a card on the bag for someone in corporate, I emailed her two days ago when I recieved my order & have yet to receive a message back. (Edited to add- I got a reply back after posting this review & was told to get a refund from Waitr, which I did, & offered me a free meal. I don’t want the free meal. I don’t want food from this place ever again, free or not.. it’s gross.)

This was my family’s first and last time eating here. We had family members who raved about this place, and don’t get me wrong the food is good but the portion sizes are not worth the money that we paid. We walked in and we were not greeted. They looked at us like we were bothering them when we walked in. We ordered the two meat plate with brisket and sausage. The meat was cooked very well but the portions were extremely small. We also ordered two one meat plates, one with chicken breast and the other with brisket. The portions were also extremely small but my family liked it. Our sides were baked beans, potatoe salad, potato casserole, and Mac n cheese. The baked beans nor the potato salad was good. The potato casserole and Mac n cheese were good though. Overall, this wasn’t the experience that most of the people from the other reviews and our family talked about. We won’t be back!

This places doesn’t carry fries. Dickey’s is a franchise. They should all be the same. Wouldn’t go here.

We had a really good dinner here. I got pulled pork and cheese tacos, which were great. My dad got the loaded baked potato with chopped brisket. He loved his also. Service was quick. We will be back!

This location is very clean, the wait was not long at all. The food was good. I ordered the brisket, it was a little fatty.

Walked in and was not really greeted. Was my first time in there and they didnt seem like they wanted to tale my order. They were out of 3 sides. Pulled pork on my sandwich was basically cold and dry. Did not give me any BBQ sauce for the sandwich. Sodas all tasted weird. Their machine to pay was down and gave them my only cash I had (I know thats not their fault). Hard to find decent food around here.
