| - I was so excited to write a review for this place.
Like I've mentioned in previous reviews, I'm a fan of the little guys.
Especially when it comes to BBQ.
I've had Dickies several times, mostly catered for corporate events, and I've always been less than impressed. It was never that is was BAD, it just wasn't great.
This particular location BLEW MY MIND!
I had a bad day at work, and wanted BBQ and this was close to home.
My husband and I split a family picnic with pulled pork, mac and cheese, and beans.
The pulled pork was the right amount of dry, with tasty little chunks of candied sauce.
The mac and cheese was wonderful, I could taste the cheddar. I didn't ask if they make it in house, or if there is another company but I LOVED it.
The Baked beans were okay, a little too spicy for my taste buds. My husband and father LOVED the beans, said it reminded them of chili. The manager told me it came from an outside company, so the beans technically aren't even theirs to rate LOL
Did I mention free ice cream? I didn't have any, but my mom made herself a rootbeer float and was happier than I had seen her in ages LOL It's neat to see a resturant giving stuff away for free! My parents only got sodas, and didn't eat - so being offered free ice cream twice by the manager was awesome.
Spent quite a bit of time talking with Andrew, the General Manager - who told me, himself and the two owners are all culinary school graduates with backgrounds in fine dining. They stated a majority of their rubs/sauces come for corporate - but they enforce clean kitchens, and 24 hours marinations. I don't know what the differences is, but it's working.
Andrew, you run a great resturant. We will certainly be back.
