Dickey's Barbecue Pit

I dropped in for lunch and had their Westerner two meat sandwich for $7.25.    I tried sliced beef brisket and pulled pork, and it was OK.   It comes with cheddar cheese which didn't feel right for me on BBQ anyway and I skipped the cheese.  It's Texas style BBQ, not the burnt, barky stuff (which is good in its own right, and def not sayin it's not).  They have three sauces, and the spicy was nice in  that it wasn't overbearing.   Not too busy at lunch (say 11:45am) , plenty of seating and perty quick.

Giving this place 3 stars though I was on the border of giving it 2. Drove by this place and decided to try it out since I was sick of Panda and Firehouse. Special for Friday is pulled pork with 2 sides, no bun. I should have went with the bun, maybe I would have liked it more, but I didn't. so I watch as the guy behind the counter unenthusiasticly picked up a hand full of pork and put it on the scale. Then take some off, a little more, and a little more. It was still a reasonable chunk of meat, but just smaller than what I was used to than other similar bbq places.

Came with 2 sides so I got the beans and the mac and cheese. Those were in pretty big cups. Lady behind the counter was all friendly with the family that was ahead of me, but then when I came up, totally changed personalities. Like Dr. Jekyl Mr. Hyde style. Not that she was mean, just totally uninterested in me. It was quite weird.

They have 3 buckets of sauce. I went with the original. It was alright. My pork was a little dry so I had to pour all my bbq sauce on top of it to the point where it was drenched. Again, maybe if i ordered a bun, I would have had a different experience. My fault. Mac and cheese was pretty good. Beans were alright. Free soft serve ice cream here which is pretty sweet. Yea overall this place was eh compared to others. How some people gave them 5 stars though is hard to believe.

I went here after being told by a friend that it was good. I love bbq! So I went the very next day. (Yesterday) Its hard for me to understand the negative reviews here. This place is totally awesome and has fantastic food! The prices are LOW. Half a slab of huge ribs and two sides for $12. I have not seen prices this low anywhere. The size of the sides were large as well. They have three bbq sauces. Sweet, Original (Med) and Spicy. All are kept hot. I had all three and all three were good. The ribs were huge and as advertised, fall off the bone tender. We had the fried ocra, onion tanglers, pototato baked thing and mac and cheese. All were great. To top it off with free ice cream after your done just cant be beat. The only suggestion I have for improvement is that the ribs need to be served hotter and the soda needs to come in sizes. That huge drink for $2.35 is too much for me. Overall one of the best BBQ places there is. I will be back as often as my waistline can handle it. And the owner was very friendly and hard working. Cant wait for my next visit.
