Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

If you are looking for good bbq you won’t find it here. Don’t bother asking for bbq chicken. It is smoked chicken breast only. I’ve never seen a bbq store that did not offer a ¼ or ½ bbq chicken. Portions are small for the price. I would call it fast food bbq.

Real BBQ. All cuts of meat are excellent. Sides are good; Okra is wonderful. Rolls are awesome. Sweat tea is great. Free ice cream!
BBQ sauce selection is cool!
What more is there for a BBQ place?
Their catering is very professional and well done. Food is kept hot and just like the restaurant. I got to meet the owner and really like the guy!
Highly Recommend!

I’ve eaten Barbecue up and down the far east side of Texas, and I have to say that Dickey’s can stand on their own when it comes to their sliced beef sandwich.
There was almost no fat, yet it was very flavorful. The Barbecue sauce was much better than most. It had a touch of spice that I hadn’t encountered in other restaurants sauces. I only ordered the cold slaw side and it was decent. Could have used a little «something» to give it the usual slight hint of tartness, but it was still good.
This was a take out order. I rarely dine inside ANY restaurant in Lumberton because it’s just a sub par experience.

I’m not sure why they offer online ordering when it never works. They didn’t get my order on two separate occasions, but I was charged. Not to mention the dumbfounded employees when I arrived could do nothing to help except reorder. At that point they were out of what I ordered.

This place is in a great location if you excuse the parking lot that All Seasons and these folks should be ashamed of. Do not drive back behind it and go out on Dennis– enter and exit on to Main.
After church on Sunday, this place was PACKED. There are only like 10 tables, and all of them were full of kids, who eat free on Sunday, and then the line to order weaved through all these people and out the door. I was shocked at the price per pound for meat. They are sly and charge you less per pound if you don’t want it sliced… but that’s kind of the point. Their sauce was just meh. Goings sauce is better.
If you’re watching what you eat, beware of the salad. I almost ordered it in an attempt to be healthy, but am glad I didn’t, because at 940 calories, that’s no health food. The big chopped brisket sandwich is about 540 and enough for a meal, no sides needed.
I tasted the fried okra, which was hard and not cooked through. As with most places, the sweet tea, however, was ON POINT. I was surprised when we entered that the Church’s and this place don’t have a wall between them on the inside. I suppose this allows them to share a bathroom and maybe some kitchen functions, but it felt like being in one of those large gas stations with an adjoined McDonald’s/Taco Bell to me.
Bottom line: better brisket than Goings, but that’s about it. May the best BBQ place win.

This is the new place in town for BBQ. If you can catch them at the top of their game — you might enjoy it more than I did. But today, they just couldn’t do it right.
This place shares parking and a building with a fried chicken joint. The parking lot was full, but we did manage to snag a spot right in front. I did notice the drive-​thru line was pretty long as well.
With this kind of business — we expected good things.
The inside was pretty cramped. The order line snaked through a cramped space between tables, and was not comfortable at all. Either for the line watching folks eat their food, or the people eating with us staring in their mouths the entire time they ate.
It’s finally our turn to order. The guy cutting the meat couldn’t keep my aunt’s order straight. He asked her to repeat it immediately after she said it. And then he did the same thing to me. If it’s one thing I don’t like — it’s repeating myself when I shouldn’t have to. (He even repeated it to me when I said it… Alas.)
But, he’s a good slicer. He was quick with the knife and carefully weighed everything he served.
The next person asked our sides and passed us on down the line. There was some hang up about bacon — and it totally confused them all for a minute or so — and in a busy line with costumers listening to every word, keep that stuff on the down low and keep the customers moving. Seriously.
The BBQ was kind of pricey for a small town; but it was on par with what pay in a big city. The price isn’t keeping people away.
The person on the fryer wasn’t watching what she was doing — and was taking things out too soon. I watched her pull onion rings and fried okra out with hardly any color on it. I know she’s rushing — but those things matter. (My aunt’s fried okra was ok, just lacking a little seasoning and was of course several pieces were still under friend.)
I had the brisket (good, if not a little dry) and the spicy cheddar sausage (decent). The spicy bbq sauce was also pretty good. My cousin was not a fan of their sauce in general. But it wasn’t terrible.
My mac and cheese was pretty bland and generic. It’s obviously made in large quantities. The jalepeno beans as well weren’t that flavorful.
You can get better BBQ in this area.
