| - Walk-In: The smell alone took me right back to my childhood in Atlanta going to amazing pit bbqs with my family. If your clothes don't smell afterwards, they aren't doing it right. I've been to the Dickey's at Scottsdale/Shea and the food was good but I wasn't blown away, and the service was kinda brain dead. This new Dickey's at Hayden/Thomas is way better.
Entrees: I usually get pulled pork or beef brisket sandwich(both great), but went for the chicken breast this time, everything is always good here. If you are confused about ordering (as a previous reviewer was) think of it like Chipotle: you pick a meat and pick how you want it served, pretty basic, and the employees were more than helpful and friendly (at this location). Can't wait to try the ham and sausage too.
Sides: I was excited to try the 'Baked Potato Salad' side, but it was just a cup of instant mashed potatoes with melted cheese and chives on top : / Mac & cheese is always good, fried okra is a nice southern touch, green beans are super watery and flavorless, waffle fries were better than the onion rings, i just wish they offered hush puppies, that would rule!
Extras: Like most places, it's the little things that make a big difference. Kids eat free on Sundays, they offer free jumbo pickles, free soft-serve vanilla ice cream, free refills (get the big yellow cup!) and they offer their sauces on the side, which is great because there's nothing worse than getting a soggy, drowning bbq sandwich, or a dry, bland one with barely any sauce. I highly recommend the spicy bbq sauce, i like to mix it with the sweet sauce, so good.
Check Please: Sure, Dickey's isn't as cheap as the Sonic drive-thru next door, but it's fairly priced for much better quality. This location is a lot smaller, but offers booths, tables and 2 flatscreen tv's, there were several families there, take-out was quick, service was great, I will be back for sure.
