My second experience here. The first was very good so I stopped in again and sat at the bar. The resto was nearly empty and only bar patrons were present.
My food was mediocre at best this time. The smoked wings were not tasting smoked at all and the “side salad” was a total joke. Romaine lettuce with two cores present and cheese on a flat plate with liner. On what planet does that constitute a side salad?
Needless to say this was not a great visit

I really like this Dickeys location. The employees always treat me like I am family and the guy that owns the place is super duper nice. 😀 Great food and great atmosphere. They even have daily specials.

Bought the BOGO loaded potato. Meat was good but hardly any cheese on them and the oily margarine ruined the taste of the potatoes.

Staff is always friendly. Wish there were a more low calorie side options. Parking lot is tight but not their fault.

Had a wonderful experience at Dickeys! The atmosphere was fantastic as always at the food was delicious, as well as fantastic service. I ordered fried pickles and a pulled pork sandwich and the food was noteworthy enough to continue recommending it to all the people I know. The beer here always taste the best compared to all the bars in town and with the food specials AND the beer specials I dont think I could pass on coming here if you havent had it before. The is the epitome of a BBQ joint. All the workers and customers are and we're fantastic. I've come to make this a common and #1 spot to eat, drink and hang out.

I was so excited to try this place. A couple weeks ago I seen a sign out front stating on Sunday there was $0.75 wings. I talked my family into going there on Sunday.
When we walked in a woman greeted us and told us to find a seat. Went to the first booth food crumbs all over. Went to the second booth food crumbs all over. Finally went to a table in the middle of the dead restaurant (seriously no one was there at 6pm). I guess I should have done the same and left, but i did not i stayed (sorry to my family).
It was about 5 mins before the waitress came to our table and gave us the menu. Got our drinks and came back to take our order. Placed our order and waited about 30 mins (I assume because of my wings). There was no one else eating in the restaurant. Our food came out...cold. like what? My daughter who is 10 said she didn't care because well she's a kid and can eat anything as long as it wasnt burnt. When I ordered i asked for my chicken sandwich to be a chicken breast patty and I received shredded dry chicken. The frys were overcooked. The wings were good (the whole reason we went), but when I received the check I was charged full price and had to get it corrected.
Needless to say I will not return and it's sad because I was looking forward to a cheaper option for wings. I should have looked at the reviews before going because it seems to be common for this restaurant.

I don’t leave a lot of reviews, but Dickey’s BBQ Pit deserves this one. I came in as your average uncultured white guy, thinking BBQ was just “meat with sauce.” But one bite of their chopped brisket, and I swear I felt my soul get a little more seasoned.
The brisket was insanely tender, perfectly smoky, and had just the right amount of bark to make each bite a mix of juicy and flavorful. I don’t know what kind of magic they’re working in that pit, but I’ll never look at BBQ the same way again.
The sides were solid, but let’s be honest—I’d eat that chopped brisket straight out of the tray with my bare hands if they let me. Easily the best BBQ I’ve had in years. Dickey’s didn’t just feed me—they gave me a new reason to wake up in the morning.
After striking out at Ray Ray’s, I decided to give Dickey’s a shot. They advertise .75 wings on Sunday which is what caught my attention and ultimately was the deciding factor to choosing them for lunch. I walk in and sit down at a table. There’s 4 people seated at the bar and no other table is occupied by anyone. I sat for 15 mins without getting a acknowledgement while the bar crowd and the bartender chummed it up. As was the case with Ray Ray’s, if you want to be ignored as a customer and walk out without ever having the intention of retuning, then Dickey’s is your destination.

This was a great place. The atmosphere was great! Very country Western. The service was great, and also the waitors and waitresses. The drinks were great as well. It was our first time there and we are going back for sure ! The prices were good. If you go away Hungry it's your own fault.

The food was disappointing and overpriced.
Our appetizer of jalapeño poppers was burnt, and had clearly done hard time in the freezer; one of the poppers was ancient and dried up inside, with the pepper and cheese a husk in a hollow dome of breading. The pork ribs were rock solid: even the meat in the very center was dry and inedible.
Disgustingly, there’s uncapped bottles of BBQ sauce on every table, so that one can enjoy any dust, germs, or flies that make their way into them. Ours featured crusted sauce on the sides and bottoms and matted hair around the openings.
