The best Dickey’s I have ordered from. The brisket was tender and tasty. The ribs were meaty and perfectly cooked . The young lady that helped me was friendly and helpful. This location is out of my way but i will drive past other locations for my barbecue fix

I had takeout and ordered on my own three meats with tasty sides. Unfortunately the server forgot my loaded baker but have promised to refund to my credit card when I called to let them know. Seems they have dropped the ball a couple times when I’ve ordered the baker for some odd reason. I found sausage nice and spiced but greasy. The brisket was solid and I really liked the turkey.

Hidden BBQ gem of Rancho San Diego!I’m hesitant to even post a review, because I kinda want to keep it all to myself BUT they deserve for you to discover their delicious food and great hospitality, so here ya go: My husband and teen LOVE Dickey’s! While I’m usually more of a salad or fish gal, I gladly join them on their Dickey’s outings. Everything we’ve eaten has been fantastic! I asked them to tell me their favorites and the boys struggled. From the brisket to the meat falling right off the bone of the ribs to the dip sandwich and cornbread… I’m not one to take photos of my food but I had to share the size of my yummy brisket chilli baker. Move over Phil’s! We’ve got a new BBQ king in town!

The owner is so sweet, he let us try the brisket before we decided to order it and it was delicious! I went to the restaurant with a party of about 12! And they were really accommodating for how compact it is. We went right when they opened at 11 on a Sunday and the food was out really quickly. Great flavors, decent pricing, will be back again- just with my husband next time lol

Some of the best pulled pork I’ve ever had! And the basket was delicious, as well. And! You can just get meat by the pound. Great for keto! Oh, the baked potato casserole was yummy, too!
