Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

The food was cold, dry, and very bland. It’ll be the last time I’ll eat here. Not worth it for the money you’ll spend.

I have to say. I am not sure what the draw is to this place! I ordered chicken and ribs with mustard potato and the bbq beans. The chicken was very dry had to put alot of sauce on it so that took away from the flavor. The ribs were tender but very small for what you pay to eat here. For a few bucks more I could have ate my favorite steak elsewhere. Won’t return due to cost and portion size

I went today for the first time. I went in about 12pm for lunch and the line was pretty long but wait was not too bad. I agree with the previous poster. I was shocked to see the guy behind the counter weighing the meat. I wish I had taken a picture of my plate because the portion size was unbelievable for a $ 16.00 price tag. I got the 2 meats and 2 sides. My meat choice was brisket and polish sausage. The guy weighed the meat and it was small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and dry. You can count how many pieces of sausage you received. The loaded mash potatoes and Mac and cheese were good. I was hoping this would be a good bbq place to go to besides Tony’s but I think I will stick with Tony’s. At least the portion sizes at Tony’s are worth the price. Dickies is waayyyy over priced for the portion sizes. Better hope they do not suffer the same fate as geo burrito and free birds.

I went to the new location in Nederland the weekend after the Grand Opening because the lines were too long.. when I went back the following Saturday there was less than ten people in the place. I walked up and told the staff I had never been to Dickeys before so I looked over the menu board and decided I wanted to try two meats. .I ordered Turkey and brisket with two sides. .a roll.. and a drink. .it cost right at $ 16.00 ! When I saw the server weighing the portion and putting it on the tray I couldn’t believe that was the right portions.. the roll was dense and somewhat chewy the sides were just OK… nothing to write home about. .I tried the original and the spicy bbq sauces that you serve yourself at the condiment bar.. they were both excellent.. there is a sweet sauce that I did not try.. if it had not been for dipping the meats in the sauce there would have been no flavor whatsoever to the meat. .look at the photo and decide for yourself… the meats were OK i just wanted more… I would rather have a disposable cup instead of the souvenir cup if that would he’ll keep the cost down. .I would never go there for lunch at those prices. … the copied beef sandwich looked like it had plenty of meat but the bun was the small ones you buy for home for about $ 9… in the photo compare the size of the meat portions to the diameter of the pickle slices to get an idea of how small they are… good luck Dickey’s…
