About Dickey's

Dickey's Barbecue Pit has received positive reviews after recent changes in ownership. A catering order included the big yellow box, which comes with pulled pork, beef brisket, toast, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, BBQ sauce, raw onions, and pickles. An additional 3lb tray of brisket and a tray of Mac and cheese were added. The brisket was described as having a solid char and some nice fatty parts, while the pulled pork was a bit dry but still flavorful. The Mac and cheese were a hit, and the coleslaw was praised, even by someone who usually doesn't enjoy it. The baked beans were a little too sweet, but separating them from the sauce improved the taste. The only complaint was the brisket being chopped too fine and a request for more BBQ sauce.

However, there have been some concerns regarding service and portion sizes. One reviewer mentioned professional service but noted that the owner is closing the restaurant and charging full price for smaller portions. Another customer found their meal disappointing, stating that what they received did not match their order, and the barbecue sauce did not help the dry meat. Additionally, there were issues with catering orders; one group faced a delay with their chicken not being ready and attributed it to low staffing. This has raised concerns about management's awareness of staffing issues, especially given the restaurant's chain status in California. Despite these concerns, the staff has generally been described as helpful and nice, with some employees receiving high praise.
