Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

Hot, fresh and fast. One harsh review compared to McDonalds. Wow. I would suggest that compared to other BBQ in town, they are wicked fast. But the meat is cooked, as are sides, except fries. Why do the other places take 10 – 15 mins to get 2 – 3 plates done? Dickeys line is just fast.
I’ve been a BBQ Judge and while they can be critiqued on technical issues, their meats and sides taste DAMN GOOD. You can see right into the kitchen. It’s clean. It smells clean. Not something that can be said of every BBQ joint.
I’m not really big on arguing about the price of good food. I’ve eat at perhaps 20 – 25 different BBQ places over the last decade and would say they are priced on the lower end of good BBQ. They don’t have a dollar menu or $ 2 pressed ribblet sandwich. You’ll have to head over to the arches if that’s your thing.
Highly recommended.

If you want fast bbq and you are easily thrilled by *free* ice cream, this is your place. Underwhelming and over-​priced is my honest review. There are too many good places to get bbq in this neck of the woods to even waste time here.

My first barbeque was not that good… I had a platter and chicken seem to be not tasteful and missing that flavor that most barbeques have and sides were pretty disappointing. Only thing I liked about this place was that free ice cream which tasted good of all…

The McDonald’s of BBQ… I’m full… but I wouldn’t have eaten it if it wasn’t convenient–

Typical chain outlet. Portions are medium to small. Atmosphere noisy. Food pricing about 10% higher of what it should be. The one thing that really turned me off was the price of a baked potato. .$ 7.95. Come on. They said there a really BIG potatoes… right. So that means there cost factor went from .22 for a medium potato to .29 cents for a large. Who are they kidding. If you really want good BBQ you’ll find a local mom and pop place. Which for this area there’s plenty of them.

This location has provided me and my family MANY instances of RUDE customer service, and SUB-​PAR dining experiences. If you have eaten at other Dickey’s Restaurants, don’t think this will be like any positive experiences you may have had with them. We recently moved to KS from IN, and often ate at the Dickey’s in Schererville, IN (they were awesome), this is not.
A couple of the frustrations that we’ve experienced at this location:
1) Very impersonal/​rude tones from the employees when placing/​receiving our orders.
2) They have a very «odd» way of administrating their «customer loyalty» program. When we ate the Dickey’s in IN, every time we came in and ordered a plate or sandwich, we had our «Big BBQ Loyalty» card stamped. Here, we are told that you only can get your card stamped if you order a Big BBQ Sandwich, and only a Big BBQ Sandwich. Even if you order a 2-​Meat or Rib plate, they will not stamp your card… ridiculous.
3) Some days you are allowed to order your meat in ½ lbs. quantities, and on other days you are told that the minimum weight is 1lbs. … inconsistency.
I guess some of these things wouldn’t be as big of deals if they were accompanied by pleasant demeanors; however, they are not. Customer service is not their top priority.

Pretty good, not superb but u get good portions for a reasonable price

The smell outside is enough to make just about anyone’s mouth water. Inside is casual and laid back — and smells even better. This is one of our quick lunch spots and we’ve been there a half-​dozen times. The pulled pork sandwich is plenty — add in a side order of anything to split between my husband and myself and we’re stuffed. Get a full meal and you’ll be rolling out.
This is fast-​food barbecue. Not rock-​your-​boots incredible, but will satisfy if you need a fix. And, the free ice cream at the end of the meal doesn’t hurt either.
My one main complaint is the ordering counter is way too tall. I’m 5’2″ and I feel like I’m peeking over the edge to talk to they guys back there and I feel like I have to yell at them for them to hear me over the tall glass — so, my 6’2″ tall husband usually does the ordering. :) Problem solved. But, I doubt I’d go here alone and try to dine, because of that.

My new favorite bbq place, the ribs and pulled pork are great and the sides are great, love the cups you get. Ask for cut jalepenos in your bbq baked beans! yum!

I thought the food was excellent. Best pulled pork sandwich I’ve had at a restaurant. I got the fried onions and baked potato casserole sides.

good food, good sauces

Well, I must agree this is basically a fast food meets BBQ place. The seating and ordering is set up like a fast food place. The place is still new though here.
Food is okay, not great. Rather pricey for what you get. Went here since they have a special on pulled pork sandwiches $ 1 each on Mondays for the next month. However, I would not pay $ 5 for the sandwiches. For sides, the waffle fries where meh, but the fried okra was decent. For $ 1.50, the okra was worth it (got a lot), but the fries really weren’t. The drinks are quite expensive though, at $ 2, although you get a plastic cup so you can let everybody know you paid $ 2 for a drink at Dickey’s.
I guess in summary, this is basically what you would get from a chain BBQ place. BBQ is one of those styles that simply doesn’t work as a chain restaurant. While the fast food could work, the way the meats are cooked don’t lend themselves to being easily replicable. Other than getting in on decent specials, this is probably not a place I would go to very often.
