For the price, you get a great meal at Dickey's BBQ especially if you go on a "specials" day. I usually go in on Ribs Tuesdays and it's a hit or miss when it comes to the quality of the ribs. Still worth the price. Sometimes the ribs are hot, sometimes cold.
However, the meat always falls off the bone and I can get into the marrow.
For $10 3 ribs, 2 sides, a biscuit, and a large drink in a big #yellow cup is a great price for the convenience, that is if you don't want to pay a little bit more and wait longer for ribs from Ellis Island. The staff is usually pleasant and the restaurant is clean.
I especially enjoy the free ice cream cone, and the fancy plastic dinnerware!
The barbecue sauce is decent. I've done a taste test and there is a mild difference between each of the sauces.
You can taste a little bit of a kick in the hot barbecue sauce vs more brown sugar in the sweet sauce.
The reason for my 4-star rating is sometimes the ribs are a hit or miss. They aren't the best ribs I've ever had, but they aren't the worst. The fried okra isn't the best, I usually prefer the baked potato salad for my side.
