"Some would say if your from Texas and you've been to Lockhart, TX or Austin then this isn't real BBQ & you could even be shot for eating at such a place like Dickey's and i'd agree to a point, but lets face it we live in AZ were BBQ joints aren't really a on every street corner and we don't have pitmasters being born every second of every day! Sure i'd love to drive to one of the great local bbq joints here in the Valley but thats really not a option during a 1hr work lunch! So with that said i wouldn't go out of way to eat here but its within walking distance of Mill Ave and Arizona State University so its close and beats a cold sandwich w chips, again some in Texas might disagree... Adds a little variety to your typically fast food joints around the Tempe area. Lunch specials during the week are reasonable priced and the staff is very friendly and can help you pick something out on the menu that you might like if your not familiar w BBQ. I wouldn't say they have NO options for people who don't like meat but if you know one of these non-meat eaters i certainly wouldnt recommend taking them here. I'd personally recommend the large potato w brisket or the brisket salad both were ok, sides i've tried are fried okra and potato salad. again nothing to jump up and down about but was ok and filled my need for lunch. They have 3 types of sauces you can help yourself to, sweet, hot, mild (reg). They have free soft serve ice cream which i like to use to make a root beer float and you can pick up a yellow cup for a $1 refill next time your in. I'd give you 3 stars but afraid for my life when i return to Texas....."^^ . . . "1"^^ .
