I really really wanted to give the 3rd star, bu the "A-Ok" text that pops up just didn't accurately describe my experience at Dickey's.
I'll start by stating that the Beef and Cheese Baker (stuffed baked potato) was actually very tasty. But it's a baked potato stuffed with extras. I also enjoyed the fried okra and coleslaw. Was wishing for a little more bite or horseradish in the slaw, but I like the chunky cut style.
The sliced brisket and pulled pork were both very dry and somewhat bland in flavor. I wasn't really getting the layers of smoke and spicy rub I would expect at a BBQ joint. I did appreciate the sauces being heated for serving, but they were all kind of sweet with different levels of spice.
This place is not terrible. Very clean, and the service was just fine. It just reflects more of that "big chain" bbq shop that doesn't put the extra love into the food that's plated. It's obvious that there is a play book that is followed where the meats are prepared early in the day, and likely sit in a heated area waiting to be served. By 7 PM, smoked meats get pretty dry.
With some of the other choices in town, this is likely my first and last visit to Dickey's. Good BBQ is worth the drive.
