Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

Had the rib special tonight. It was so tasty and tender…
The service was excellent and the establishment was very clean.

My company has used them for catering several times. They do a nice job with setting up and serving and have always been on time. We had pork, beef, chicken, salad, mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. This time the meats were kind of bland and didn’t even seem smoky. If it wasn’t for sauce on the side it would have been bad. The sides were really tasty though. The mashed potatoes were cheesy and flavorful and macaroni and cheese was cheesy.

Everything was so tasty! Both my husband and I had pulled pork sandwiches with sides. He had coleslaw and potato salad. I had coleslaw and the onion ring things.
The coleslaw needed a bit more zip but still tasty. The potato salad was excellent. Onion rings were a bit salty but loved them anyway. Service was fast, food was fresh!! We will absolutely be back often!

Thursday they have a 5 rib special. 3 of my 5 ribs were 3 inches long. All were dry and tasteless. Sides came in half portions This place has gone down hill. Staff turnovers can’t help. Never see the same staff twice.
Go elsewhere.

We have been here several times as we live near by. Usually it is pretty good. I always go in knowing it is going to be insanely expensive if you want enough to fill up. But good bbq is hard to find in the north valleys so we do it on occasion. That being said today the brisket was so (I assume) over cooked it had the consistency of pudding. My husband is a big guy and can eat a lot and had a few bites and stopped. The chicken was great and so were our sides. When asked how everything was I mentioned the brisket and got an «oh sorry about that». I understand sometimes things aren’t quite right but when I spend $ 40 I prefer to leave happy and full. This was not the case today.

The last few times the food has been ice cold, and the ice cream machine wasn’t working. This time, before I took my 7 year old grandson for BBQ meal, I called ahead and asked if the ice cream machine was working, I was told it was. Since these machines are often overlooked in the closing cleaning duties, and can develop mold and spoilage in a matter of a couple of days, (I had spent 20 years as a chef here in Reno) I asked if the ice cream machine had been cleaned last night. The girl on the phone replies «uh, yeah, I think so» She thinks so? There is no way I would risk the health of a small child on food poisoning or mold intoxication. I wrote the president of the company and never heard back from him. As long as there is a question if the machine was cleaned or not, it shows there is little concern for the health ans safety of customers or food quality, I’m not coming back to Dickey’s

so I had a baker and side of beans. all were good the baker is a large baked potato and was filled with BBQ pork sour cream and butter. It was good the potato was baked well and atleast for my taste there was plenty of stuff on it. just a note it sounded like they only make so many per day so be aware. they have sweet tea and not sweet tea I had the sweet tea and in my opinion it was not that sweet.

Dont order the chicken very rubbery. I mean its okay but I have had better. Like making my own.

Three stars almost feels wrong to give since the brisket, chicken, & pulled pork were all delicious. But my stomach was KILLING for the rest of the day after we ate there. I didn’t eat too much or over-​indulge on bread/​milk/​etc, so no reason for the lingering stomach issues.
Staff was nice. Place was clean and many others there enjoying. We had coleslaw, Mac-​n-​cheese, fries, & baked potatoes sides (we shared). Slaw was great. Mac & cheese was so-​so. Potatoes & fries were average. They offer three sauces you self serve from the sauce bar.
BONUS! They have free soft-​serve cones for all.

The place is nice and clean. Indeed they have free ice cream cones, but unfortunately I was very disappointed with their rib tips. I got two of their plates and the rib tips were so hard I could barely chew and swallow them. They were incredibly dry and looked like they were from the day before, although I was here at about 4pm. That’s too bad, I was really looking forward to them. As far as the sides, the coleslaw was fresh and crispy. The green beans though, had way too much salt in them. The Mac and cheese was good but the jalapeño beans were also a little on the salty side.
I may have just come in on a bad day, so I may come back and give them another try a different time.

Best BBQ we have had in a long time. Kinda spendy but sooooo worth it. Husbands favorite place to eat.

So far every time I order out from here their brisket and sides are always amazingly good. Competitively priced as well. Amazingly the fried okra bites were fresh an tasted great!

Tried Dickey’s for the first time recently. We had the ribs, fried okra, and green beans with bacon. Everything was delicious! I know good BBQ, and this is good stuff! The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is because it’s a little pricey, but other than that, I definitely recommend it!

We were so happy when Dickey’s came to the North Valleys! They have some of the best barbecue! I particularly like their chopped brisket, it is done just the way I like it, with a crispy bark and soft interior, I go for it every time we get Dickey’s.
I also love their green beans. I know, I know, they aren’t the crispy green beans you’re looking for when you dine out at a high end restaurant, they’re the ones that simmered on the back of the stove at your mother’s house, with onions and bacon until they were soft and almost grey. Totally incorrect today, but oh so good! Their mac and cheese is to die for, too.
My husband always goes for their ribs, which are fall off the bone good, and this time we tried some of their Mexican choices. I liked the tacos and quesadillas, but my husband thought the tacos were tough. The chicken meat inside was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, however, and gave both items such wonderful flavor that I would order both of them again.
I just love Dickey’s, and when I’m in the mood for barbecue, I’m so glad they are so convenient, and right on my husband’s way home, so he can pick it up and bring it home for dinner!

That’s some good BBQ! The smell of the place is so appealing, the service is good and quick and the meats are excellent! I wish the mac & cheese was a little more homemade style and less «instant». It is a little pricey, but they do have some $ 5 specials! I love that they give a little extra with a take home souvenir plastic cups and free ice cream.

Decent BBQ and I love that kids eat free on Sunday. My only issue is the inconsistency. Portion size, temperature, flavor, etc., is all over the place. Additionally, the free ice cream is gone, and they can’t seem to keep the ice tea filled.

Good food, came out quick, costs an arm and a leg. I has the three meat plate with two sides and a drink and it was $ 18

This is a great alternative to fast food, it doesn’t take long to get your food. Been here several times, food is always good. They have an organic rotisserie chicken dinner that is very good.

Dude… Great flippin food! The guys were cool. I love this joint!
Went for lunch with the Rents today. I had the two meat lunch. Brisket, ribs and two sides. The green beans with bacon were nice as was the side ceasar. However, the meat was awesome. Loved the sauces and the price was right.
My Mom had a salad she barely dented it was so large and Dad had rib tip special that he couldnt finish either.
Cool, clean atmosphere and nice people with FREE ICE CREAM!!! Had I known about this place I woulda gone sooner.

Atmosphere — 4 stars
Food — 4 stars
Service — 4 stars
Background — First time to this location but been to another location.
Atmosphere — Huge menu board by the register with some of the items having pictures. The soft drink and condiments station did not have a garbage can nearby so straw wrappers and napkins were piling up.
Food
Appetizer — none order.
Main Course — Went with the rib platter, I think I got spoiled with the St. Louis style rib cut from the Rib Cook Off. They cut their ribs differently which gives you a little more meat but also gives you a little more cartilage. Meat did fall off the bones. One of the side dishes I went with was the hush puppies, five little balls of heaven.
Dessert — Had a free cup of the swirled soft serve. The vanilla was a little too icy for ice cream.
Service — The cashier was helpful and pleasant. They bring the food to your table based on the number the cashier provides you. I just wish they had wet naps somewhere.
Future — When I need some BBQ.
