| - Yesterday I had met a friend for lunch at Ike's, which we all know is amazing, and as I was blasting by on Alma School I noticed this newly-opened Dickey's. When I used to travel all over the country Dickey's was one of my goto places if I was craving BBQ and there was one close to the hotel. They are consistent, the staff is friendly, and for me, it's a relaxing atmosphere. I don't listen to country music generally, but for some reason I really feel at home at Dickey's. And if you don't tap your toes to John Denver singing "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", well then there's something wrong with you.
This morning I told my Mr. that I had an idea for lunch. Let's go to Dickey's and share something and then go to Ike's and share something. Well, I got myself under control and we just ate at Dickey's. It smelled so good in the parking lot, that I knew it would be tough to decide what to order. When we walked in we were greeted by friendly employees, one of whom explained the layout of the restaurant & the ordering process. Then we ordered a 1/4 lb of chopped brisket ($4), a 1/4 lb. smoked sausage ($3.75), a side of green beans ($2.25) and a side of baked potato casserole ($2.25). They also brought us some freshly baked rolls.
Everything was delicious except I thought the brisket was a little over-seasoned. It kind of irritated my throat it was so salty, but that's why you buy the big yellow cup ($2.25), to fill it with something to wash it all down. As a side note they have Coke products.
I love their sides. The green beans taste like something my grandma used to make with bacon and some pepper. Delicious! And I could eat a large side of that potato casserole all by myself. REAL potatoes with a little salt and pepper. Just perfect. All in we spent $15.67 after tax and it was plenty of food for both of us. They also have a punch card so I can earn some free food. I'm sure we'll be back now that there's one closer to home.
