| - I am typically polite and will eat almost anything despite my feelings of the pallet. But in all honesty I am very picky and will critique every small imperfect detail and forever judge those responsible. This holds true especially when it comes to BBQ. My favorite of all foods. So when I entered Dickeys BBQ Pit, I immediately began my assessment.
A decent smell immediately filled my nostrils when I opened the entrance door. My stomach, which was empty, immediately began to rumble. But not for BBQ. It smelled like meat cooking but not BBQing. I was instantly concerned. I love when a grill is fired up and the combination of good old American BBQ is smoking, which should consist of a sweet tangy smell and thick cut beef.
Sigh but anyways the decor was cool. It was picnic themed. Not alot of places to sit though. It was either sit near foot traffic or near the bathrooms. The tables were very small and cramped too.
The staff was friendly. They greeted my party and I. The menu is pretty simple. We got the family order which is two meats 1lb each, three sides, and seven rolls. Drinks were seperate. Overall the cost was $49.
The pitmaster imformed me that all items on the menu were made from scratch. Pretty cool. All food was already made though. They pulled the meats from the ovens and the sides from the back. We were eating within 15 minutes of coming in.
So for the meats we ordered 1lb of pulled pork. And two 1/2lbs of sausage. One was spicy and the other was jalepnio spicy. For the sides we chose macoroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and bbq'd beans.
Despite the small cramped table we were all able to make our plates and began eating.
The pulled pork was ok. It was a little cold but cooked just right. It lacked sufficient seasoning in my personal opinion but it was still good. Also I should mention they provided three types of BBQ sauce on the side. They were sweet, spicy, and original. I paired my pulled pork with spicy. BBQ sauce was perfect. It had a nice spicy punch with a savory sweet tangy lingering after taste. It didn't burn and yet fulfilled my spicy needs.
Both sausages were quite good. I was very impressed. Each bite was delectable. The jalepenio was injected with cheese. Good Lord! The other one allowed me to enjoy the sausage in itself which did not disappoint, let me tell you.
The BBQ beans and Mac and cheese weren't anything special. I mean they were good but they didn't have a wow factor. However, the mashed potatoes were on a different level. They were mashed to perfection. They were sprinkled with large chive chuncks. They were lightly buttered. They had a nice top layer of cheese on top. They even had a slight burnt crunchy layer on top. Very good. There were other sides to choose and when I go back (and I will) I will try them, but I will still get the mashed potatoes.
Also the rolls were pretty good. They had a unique underbaked style to them that was quite enjoyable. The kids in my party made mini sanwhiches with them. I wish we got more than 7 though. When we find a dish that we like, we like to have seconds and even thirds sometimes. A family of five (two adults and three children) will not be satisfied with 7 rolls.
Overall the experience was good. Very good BBQ eatery. Kids eat free on Sundays and everyday there is free unlimited ice cream. (rootbeer floats anyone). I rate this place a 5/5. The only changes I would make is the tables and the amount of rolls served. I will definately be back.
