| - A big let down.
Lacking any good BBQ spots near the Scottsdale Rd. / Shea area, I was excited to try Dickie's when I saw it had opened. I gathered a couple meat-eating co-workers and headed over for lunch.
I got the three meat plate, two sides for $10.99. Not a bad price for BBQ, I figured. Not a bad price, that is, if it's GOOD bbq... this was not good. First their meat portions were tiny compared to what I get at Cooper's BBQ in Gilbert. Second, the meats did not have a good, bbq'd taste, they were plain and frankly, the brisket was kind of gross. The side of beans were so-so and the fries definitely tasted "fast-foodsy", if that makes sense... they had that weird, added crap on them. Third, their BBQ sauce was VERY watery and pretty much sucked. Fourth, they only had one size drink, this mammoth 32-oz yellow cup made of hard plastic.. not very enviro. friendly, or cost effective i'd imagine. Then they punish the water drinkers by providing a little dixie cup.
This place sucks and I should have known going to a chain-bbq spot was a bad idea, but I just had to try it. Note for gluten-free eaters, their BBQ sauce is gluten-free.
