My. Goodness.
Let's start by saying that we moved here from the south where barbecue reins supreme. We lived here for a good 4 years and couldn't find a decent rib to save our lives - so we relied on Famous Dave's to get us through the cravings. Fast forward to the glorious day we found Dickey's.
Dickey's was spotted from across the shopping plaza, tucked away a corner like someone's dirty little secret. We gave it the ol' 'why the hell not?' and strolled up to the counter. The menu is INTENSE with so many options. I shot straight to the rib plate, because ribs are where it's at in my book. My husband got the brisket sandwich.
The tray - yes, TRAY of food I received was overflowing with yum. The ribs fell off of the bone and were delectible down to the very last finger-lick. The fried okra....HELLLLOOOOOO yum. Thank you so much for doing this right! Perfectly seasoned, lightly breaded, crisp and not too slimy. Eff yes. The yeast rolls were tough (on multiple visits) and something I'd gladly give up for an additional side. My husband enjoys the beans, too - says they're just like home.
The yellow reusable cups are awesome because they help to reduce waste, and my husband loves to use them for water cups here at home. The beverages are self-serve so there are endless refills. What we love to do is use the cup at the end of the meal to get our free soft-serce icecream, and then fill the cup with root beer for a delicious root beer float for the road :)
The crew at Dickey's is topnotch. These guys know exactly what they're doing, and their customer service is outstanding. I love that they interact like best friends while providing an awesome experience for the customer.
We've recommended Dickey's time and time again, and will continue to do so!
