Disgusting. I got the family deal. The only thing that was edible was the Mac n cheese. The pulled pork was OVERLY SALTY AND CHEWY. The chicken was dry and nasty. The baked beans were hard. The buns were greasy. I ended up throwing away the pulled pork sandwich. I still have a salty taste in my mouth. What a waste of money. Don’t eat here.

This was the worst food we've ever ordered. There was no sauce for the BBQ sandwiches, ribs, or brisket. The fried pickles were super salty. The pulled pork was hard and chewy and the sandwich was scant with ingredients. The bun was greasy and soggy. Never eat this!

Carryout order. Prepared in advance and not hot at pickup time. Missing items from order and very expensive for the amount of foodTheir website, not online partner (like DoorDash) prompts for a selection of sauce for each item. It was not selected. Their website also asks for a pickup time. Not sure why they would bother with these details on their website if it is not part of the process in the restaurant.

Absolutely not again. My food was delivery. Colder than room temp. They missed a few of my sides meanwhile they charged me for it. It’s not worth it for the price.Willards bbq is much much better than this overrated place. I never give bad reviews unless they’re really bad.

My recent visit to Dickey's BBQ Pit left much to be desired, as it turned out to be one of the most disappointing barbecue experiences I've had in a long time.Firstly, the ribs, which are often a highlight at barbecue joints, fell short of expectations. They lacked the flavor and tenderness that one would typically associate with well-prepared ribs.The disappointment didn't end there. The Giant Baked Potato, was a letdown. Not only was it undercooked, but the bacon bits topping it appeared raw, though they were likely smoked. It was a disheartening sight and a major detractor from the meal.Furthermore, the pulled pork on the potato served to me was not at the right temperature, leaving it cold and unappetizing. This lapse in food safety and quality control is unacceptable for any establishment, especially one specializing in barbecue.I learned that there was an issue after with the beverage dispenser(I was putting my lid on the drink), indicating a lack of attention to detail in maintaining basic amenities. Luckily I opted for unsweet tea so this did not affect my drink.The only redeeming aspect of the experience was the cleanliness of the restaurant, which, unfortunately, cannot compensate for the subpar food and service.Witnessing another patron receive a refund due to similar issues only reinforced my dissatisfaction. It's disheartening to see such consistent lapses in quality at a dining establishment.In short my #BigYellowCup experience leaves me to say I will not eat at this place ever again.

Grub hub delivery. Got here on time. Nice and cold. Garbage. I've never had crunchy brisket before. Chicken breast dry as cardboard Pork was unrecognizable as such They didn't bring drink we ordered Mac & cheese - cold elbows w cheez whiz? Texas toast - greasy wonder bread? Never again. If we had eaten in person I'd have sent it back.

Took 45 minutes to get my food and manger was high as hell, but the food is great. I would recommend you go to mission bbq they have fast service and better bbq for cheaper.

Standard Dickey's fare, served well and a great selection of whiskey. Highly recommend giving it a try.Parking: Tons of parking on their side of the plaza.Kid-friendliness: Great choices for kids, and a quiet atmosphere.
The food was good, but expensive enough that I couldn't frequent it. Two people cost nearly fifty dollars. It was not a relaxing atmosphere to eat in, as the owner's family and children were present and the children were running and screaming loudly thoroughly the restaurant. It was hard to have a conversation with the people we came with, who unfortunately, were having their first visit there and first impression of the restaurant.

I had a few of my co workers over and we ordered an XL pack from dickeys barbecue and it was the perfect amount of food and came with great sides and meat, I chose the smoked chicken, pulled pork and ribs. For the sides we ordered Coleslaw, potato salad, green beans and mac and cheese. The meal also came with 8 pieces of greatly buttered and nice crispy texas toast. I would 10/10 do it again and don’t regret a single dollar I spent. The meal got compliments from my coworkers and they even said they will be trying it sometime to see the other food that dickeys offers.

For lunch i had the western sandwich plate and I got it with mac and cheese as well as potato salad, the sauces were cooked so nicely and was delivered and made with care. When I received it i tried the sandwich will the Carolina barbecue sauces and they were all delicious. To finish off i had a cookie and man it’s so good.Vegetarian options: nice to see veggie burger as alternate option.Dietary restrictions: they can make fish for anyone not able to eat meat. they also do halal catering.
Dickeys is hands down one of the best experiences I have had, if you are in the area of dickeys in herndon this is a must try. The 3 Meat platter with Jalapeño sausage, pulled pork, and brisket is a great combination of meats especially when paired with the sweet barbecue sauce. Some of the best sides to try with your meal are the barbecue beans, mac and cheese, fries, fried okra, or the coleslaw. If you need seating there are many available tables as well as 8 bar stools with a full bar and a wide variety of bourbon and signature cocktails. If you still have space for dessert then the blonde brownie is a must try or if you enjoy pecan pie that is a must try as well.Parking: There is an entire shopping plaza around so finding a spot is easy as well as handicap parking right in front of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: The restaurant is suited for kids with 2 large TVs for kids to watch as well as adults.Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are wide as well as throughout the restaurant the wheelchair can wheel with ease through the isle and into the restrooms.
They had pretty solid barbecue loved the sides. I've had barbecue in Texas so it's going to be hard to compare to that but it's just as hard to find good barbecue in Northern Virginia so this is a spot that's worth checking out.
The first time I went, I was not impressed at all, but I did revisit, and some changes were made to the seasoning of the food, and it was a lot better. I would go back, but it is a little pricey
