My wife discovered Dickies one afternoon while in Middleton. She encouraged me to join her for a quick dinner there a few weeks later. Chain or otherwise this is the best BBQ that I have had in Madison. I'll even go further and add "by far".
Great daily specials,and very reasonable prices.
Brisket is chopped and very good and so is the sausage. The sides are first rate and all portions are generous. The baked beans are excellent.The free ice cream is also a tasty treat to try after a very good meal.
Highly recommended. A new place that is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in Madison, a city with otherwise fine restaurants unless you are looking for good BBQ at a place other than at Dickies. :-)
You won't be disappointed.
