| - Just ordered online for pick up and can definitely say that I am not impressed at all with the size of the meals we received.
Ordered the 1/2 lb of ribs with 2 sides and a roll and received 3 small ribs and 2 small sides. I have never received so few ribs before at a BBQ restaurant when ordering a half slab or half pound and was actually quite offended at the lack of the remainder of the 1/2 lb of ribs I was promised. I had also requested a couple of sides of their original BBQ sauce which was also omitted, possibly I imagine, because there wasn't enough ribs to need any additional BBQ sauce at all.
I ordered the classic sandwich for my husband and asked that they add coleslaw, onions and cheddar cheese which came with two sides as well. His sandwich was quite big with plenty of meat and the sides were on the smallish size as well, just like mine. The onions, cheese and coleslaw were present, however. So that was nice and apparently tasted very good with the sandwich. (Can't get much in the way of adjectives out of my husband in the way of description of food. He either eats it, or complains about it. In this case, he ate it and was happy.)
Now that I am done criticizing the extreme lack of food that I received for the same price I would pay anywhere else I will speak to the quality. It was delicious. The ribs were exactly what I was craving and the baked beans were perfectly spiced and seasoned. I tried some of the brisket from my hubby's sandwich and was pleasantly surprised as well.
I also got a slice of the pecan pie and was equally surprised to find that they make theirs without corn syrup. It, too was delicious as I find corn syrup in the recipe for pecan pie to be too sickeningly sweet.
I will most likely return to Dickey's for another meal, but it will likely be for lunch and only for myself since the concept of sharing the rib meal with anyone else was not an option as I had planned to do. Three tiny ribs was seriously a let-down. If you're jonesing for ribs and are looking to share, buy the full rack. That might just come with enough to share between two people. Maybe.
