Before this place became a chain, it was its own restaurant. I've eaten at the original. I grew up on it. Numerous Sunday dinners were spent here. How happy was I to see a little bit of home land in my backyard!!
When I ate here...everything was dry. As in, it shouldn't have been served as its shelf life expectancy had long passed. Nothing was fresh. NOTHING. It was THE worst cafeteria food I'd ever eaten. And I paid good money for it.
Sadly this place doesn't live up to the quality and deliciousness of the original. It barely lives up to being called BBQ.
If this place is franchised, they are destroying a good name & brand. If its owned by Dickeys themselves, shame on you for allowing this place to ruin your name, reputation, & BBQ.
What is truly sad? People who have never had true BBQ think this place serves up great food. They don't. They simply do not. (Although, I can see why someone might think its good.)
Fact: meat with sticky, tangy, brown sauce does not make it BBQ. Its a process, an art form, mastered by few, having left numerous delusional...just like Dickeys.
