Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

So it’s no surprise to me to find this has closed. With management so inattentive to customers and obviously not business savvy, it’s no surprise another statistic added to the number of failed startups. No great loss here.

I wish there was an option for negative starts because this place was THAT bad! Went there to try something new, I was shocked when the kids behind the counter pulled out plastic bags with meat and sides in them in order to make my place (which was priced more than Joe’s Real BBQ which a million times better). Hoping for the best I took my mystery meat and green mush that was supposed to be «green beans» and sat down to eat. No kidding, EVERYTHING tasted like dirty feet. I was so grossed out by the quality of the meat and honestly scared of getting food poisoning that I threw away the remainder of the food and walked out.
If you’re in the mood for mystery food that sits in a plastic bag all day along with some disgusting sides for a ridiculous price then this is the place for you. Otherwise I would suggest going ANYWHERE else!

Called to place a lunch order a month or two ago and they didn’t have half of the food items advertised. Ended up canceling the order and heading elsewhere.

I think this location is closed. Google maps says it is and the website only has a location in Scottsdale and Mesa listed.

Eh. I’ve heard people swear by these guys, but I just can’t give a good review. The food was ok… service wasn’t good… took forever to get the food.
One thing that seemed pretty weird is that they had a weight loss infomercial on the whole time. Um… have they not heard of the psychology of the eater? It’s better to have cooking shows on to make people eat more… not weight loss! We don’t want to be reminded how this pulled pork is going straight to our hips!
There are other better bbq places real close to this place.

The reviews here seem pretty bad, but Im basing this review on the fried okra my girlfriend had.
She said it was the best she’s ever had. One problem. it’s not around the corner, but we’ll still get it if we’re here.
That’s all we got. So we have no idea how the other food tastes. based on reviews, Im going to guess. not so great.

YUCK! No joke, the worst bbq my family and I have had. We went once, didn’t even eat, left and went to another place. So disappointing!

Not terrible but def not good. Sauces are ok, meat is either dry (chicken) or flavorless and tastes like it is boiled (brisket). The sides were ok but who comes to a BBQ joint for sides? We tried this location in addition to another hoping that the different locations might do things different or better and nope, they don’t. We wont be back.

Took the fam out for barbecue at Dickey’s the other night and I must say it was really GOOD. We ordered the family meal which was plenty for the four of us. I haven’t had brisket this good since I lived in West Texas.
We’ll be going back!

It’s hard to find a good place in this big city to call «Your BBQ Pit» but Dickies totally makes you feel at home. We go every Monday and have been for about a year and a half now and absolutely love it! Employees never forget a face and know your meal on the spot.

Last night I surprised my boyfriend by offering to take him out somewhere for some BBQ. I was told by a friend that this place is pretty awesome. Turns out she might have a bit of a bias since she used to work here.
When we arrived there were 2 highschool girls ‘working’ the counter (they were really fooling around and it looked like they were throwing the sour cream packets around. They were fooling around the whole time, which I understand having some fun, but ya know what? Do it where I can’t see it. I don’t want to think about you playing floor hockey with my food!)
When I ordered they told me that they were out of chicken and french fries (on a Monday night). Wow. Really? So I thought about it and instead of chicken I had the pork stuffed inside a baked potato. The food wasn’t too bad, but it also wasn’t the best I’ve ever had.
My boyfriend and I agree that the best part of this place is the free pickles and free ice cream. Maybe I’ll try this place again after spring break is over ;)

I stopped in on my lunch break. The BBQ isn’t bad for a fast food type of place. I had the brisket on this particular visit. The BBQ sauces weren’t the best I’ve had. If you are in the area and looking for BBQ, I recommend Pork on a Fork.

Went for dinner last night and really enjoyed the rib meal. Staff was very polite and nice. The Pork ribs were great, I found that by «blending» their 3 sauces that I ended up with flavors I really liked (sweet with heat) and the sides were nice. Green beans/​bacon reminded me of those my Grandmother made — nostalgic moment here. Potato Casserole was probably a serious calorie coma inducer but then again I WAS at a BBQ restaurant. I ordered just water and they gave me a Dickey’s cup. $ 12 before tip, looking forward to returning

I would prefer to give them a zero
The food had zero taste. The whole point to eating BBQ is to taste the unique flavors considering everyone has their own recipes. No way this place has been around since 1941 serving this watered down food. The brisket sandwich was tasteless, the mac and cheeses was not cheesy. My friend had the potato that was topped with chicken, she said it also had no taste. The Ice cream was watery like a milk shake. Never again. Anyone that eats this stuff and gives a 5 stars must be family or has extremely low standards not just for BBQ.

UPDATE: Within 2 hours of posting the review below, Dickey’s contacted me in order to make things right. Well Done! I declined their offer for a gift card, but will try their Shea location at some point.

In a world of liars Dickey’s would be king.
Having put an ad in the AZ Republic listing a January long special of $ 1 BBQ pork sandwiches on Mondays I had been driving up to this location after work on Mondays to take advantage of this deal.
The Monday before last they were «out» of the pork but were good enough to substitute for another meat. This Monday they decided to NOT honor their advertised special stating «that isn’t for Arizona.» Your pants sir are on fire.
A. You advertised it in an Arizona specific Newspaper
B. The Shea location honored the advertised special

They changed the buns. The sliders are now just meh. I would say Dickey’s is now a 2 ½ star place and will probably only be visited once a month instead of once a week.

Texas BBQ. Pretty darn good if you ask me. Chris T hit the nail on the head as far as I am concerned.
I’ve eaten here three or four times and left satisfied every time. Even the BBQ chicken salad is pretty good — if you are crazy enough to order a salad at a BBQ joint!
Iced tea is very good.
Pretty fast-​foodie décor, which tempts me to give it a four, but I’m a sucker for decent portions.

This is okay bbq fare but there is nothing special about it. Their sauces are bland. The food has no great flavors and tastes overly microwaved or possibly like it came in a bag from Sysco. They give you too much food and the prices reflect the portion sizes.
I’ve had the ribs and pulled pork sandwiches. Both were meh… nothing special to write home about.
I wouldn’t make this a destination but if you have other things to do while shopping at Norterra… it isn’t a bad choice, just a VERY mediocre one.

I eat at Dickies at least once a week so I may be a little biased when it comes to writing this review. The food is always awesome, hot, and filling. I always get the sandwiches but the one time I got the meat plate it was good as well.
All you can eat pickles… all you can drink soda (with that awesome crushed ice)… all you can eat ice cream… and three different BBQ sauces to choose from? What more can you ask for?
How about 32 ounce domestic beers for $ 3.50… two big screen TVs that are always playing sports… and a friendly and awesome staff always there to offer tips on types of food if you’re feeling ambitious to try something new.
– Waffle fries are awesome…
– Baked beans are delicious…
– Mac and Cheese are shells that are kind-​of odd if you are used to the Kraft box style like I am…
– Side salads are small but you get the point…
Make sure to say hi if you see me there on a weekend day! :)

I have two free meals here and can’t seem to bring myself to going.
Anyone want to try it risk free? Pm me and I will arrange the details.
