| - I've been to Dicky's a few times so I figured a review was warranted. This is BBQ restaurant that's served in a fast-casual type of environment, like Chipotle or Naf Naf Grill. They have a good variety of meat (that's what she said) with pulled pork, ribs, brisket, chicken, turkey, ham and a few styles of kielbasa. More than most barbecue places have.
You can get either a sandwich or just the meat, and also a variety of sides. The sides are good, albeit a little pricer than you might expect. Overall this is pricier than you may think from the fast-casual concept, with plates running about $10-12 a person. They do have a special for different days of the week which I'd recommend for the budget-conscious. (Err... that's me) While it does seem pricy for the concept, for good barbecue, this is a reasonable price.
And it is good barbecue. The pulled pork is tender. The turkey has a good overture of smokiness and the brisket is toothsome. There are three sauces, basically sweet, normal and slightly spicy. They are ok. It does enhance the pulled pork, but I prefer the turkey without any sauce. They also have cornbread here. It's good. If I was a superhero, my arch-enemy would be sweet carbs. I would be the only thing preventing us from living in a world where we served at the whims of our sweet-carb overlords, but luckily for all, I'm just a poor schmuck whose cornbread resistance is approaching null.
Plus, there is free soft-serve ice cream. It's about 7-11% better than most soft-serve vanilla. But maybe I'm just tasting the free part.
The interior is vaguely western-themed. It's small inside, but I've never had an issue finding a seat. It's in the middle of small strip mall, surrounded by various other fast food options. Do yourself a favor, check this place out.
