The smoked turkey is fantastic! It is very tender, moist, and flavorful. I like all of their meats but I think the turkey is the best.

Hope you like salt! The ribs are sooooo salty... Not to mention a bit fatty... Salty beans, salty okra, salt salt salt! Brisket was good, but had a few big pieces of fat. Mac n' cheese... Disappointing. Forget their butter rolls... Not worth the carbs! Kind of a yuck experience.

They have unsweetened iced tea with no sugar packets. "We only carry sweet-n-low". She brings me a cup of sugar from the back. Have they learned nothing from that previous mishap that almost killed that lady? Anyway, the food was good.

Great place to grab a quick lunch. Reasonable price for pit style. Staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. I will return here if back in the area. Had one meat platter. Two sides, very moist beef brisket. BBQ sauces are very good. Went with the sweet. Good value.

The meet was left out too long so when it was served to us it was cold. That made me very nervous serving it to my four-year-old. The very young staff was apologetic and offered us more meat that was heated up a little bit more. The tables and floors were not very clean (sticky). For a good sitdown barbecue and piping hot food served to your table go to rib city in American Fork.

These our awesome! Catered several events for me and the food and service was outstanding! If you have a choice to make for BBQ, hands down these guys do it right!

While chain restaurants are usually a turn- off, this one is a clear exception: it's very good. This place competes with Sean's Smokehouse (in Saratoga Springs) and in my opinion comes close. In most ways Sean's is better (such as their pulled pork; Dickey's pork is too dry). In a few ways, however, Dickey's edges ahead (such as their chopped beef brisket or their killer mac & cheese). Overall I feel Dickey's is not quite as good as Sean's Smokehouse. Nevertheless, it is worth a stop if you're in the BBQ mood and you can't get out to Saratoga Springs.

After reading all the other reviews, I feel strange knowing that I really like this place and that I am giving them 5 stars. Maybe I just love pulled pork, or maybe I don't know what good food is? We were wondering around the Hobby Lobby and I walked across the parking lot to Dickey's to use the restroom. I felt bad for just using the facilities, so we decided to eat lunch there. No line and only 3 or 4 other couples eating there. I think there were only 2 workers on shift. It was a Monday and I ordered the daily special, Pulled Pork Sandwich meal (includes 1 large drink & 2 sides.) I chose Mac & Cheese & Onion Straws. I think it was $7.79 or something. My husband ordered the Chicken Ceasar Salad. I inhaled my sandwich after I drowned it in Dickey's BBQ Sauce. The meat was so tender and tasty. The Ceasar Salad was delicious. I don't why someone ordered a salad at a BBQ Pit. The Mac & Cheese was pretty good, but like the other yelper said the Onion Straws were "Way too Salty." But But BUT!! I would like to say that the Giant Jar of Pickles and FREE Ice Cream made up for it!! I am so glad I used the restroom there because this place has now become one of my favorite eateries... I went back the next day and ordered the same thing except with the crossed fries instead of the onion straws.

Arrived at 12:15, was pretty much empty. Ordered ribs Tuesday special. Ribs were cold and burned. Sides were decent. Ice cream mix was off, I complained and they admitted to much water. Manager was a nice young guy, he gave us two $5 off cards because of the problems. This location is struggling, Orem and Draper locations are much better!

pretty good, but definitely overpriced. there are better places around to go for bbq. they have a good traffic friendly spot to get business though. the last couple restaurants in that spot went out of business though and this one might too since the food is overpriced for the quality.

I did not have high expectations which I'm glad. Customer service was very friendly which is huge plus in my book, however the food is nothing Rio really remember about. I got the ribs and they were a little tough, the bbq sauce was not my taste. We got a bunch of sides: loaded bake potato casserole (ordinary mash potatoes sprinkled w/ cheese and chives), baked beans (Allie a lot of sauce, very plain), potato salad w/dill (not enough potato & way over cooked), coleslaw (I liked it allot, taste like KFC). I will give them thumbs up for there rolls! They give free ice-cream, but it taste like nothing. We had a coupon and that is why we tried it out. I would probably try it again because i heard they have great loaded bake potatoes (except that they charge extra for more sour cream and butter for a ginormous potato)

It is what it is..... I went to this location shortly after the lunchtime hour and found it odd that the restaurant was empty. I was the only person having lunch there which was odd because this chain normally has good business every time I have gone to them in other states. The food was just okay, the service was the same, with so little business, every employee was busy cleaning other parts of the restaurant except for the person helping me. This really does seem like the type of place that won't be around long.

I don't understand why this place has so many poor reviews. I eat there frequently, and I really like it! The polish sausage and green beans and bacon are my favorite. Have celiac disease so have never tried their sandwiches.

This is one of my favorite lunch spots. I usually get the one meat plate with sides. Really like the free ice cream and pickles.

This place has been inside joke since we last ate here. Like: "Dude, I really feel like getting neglected and shoving some luke-warm, over-cooked, terrible quality meat marbled with cartilage instead of flavor into my mouth tonight. Off to Dickey's!"

This place is pretty good fast food if you don't expect much. For seven bucks you can get a nice-sized sandwich and two sides. With that said, I was really disappointed in the bun as it was dry, heavy, and took away from the taste of the pulled pork. The next time around I will definitely skip the sandwich and just go with a meat plate. The sides that I tried - baked beans, baked potato casserole, and onion tangles - were all good. The spicy cheddar sausage was the highlight. And the free ice cream and free large dill pickles are a nice touch.

I think I am way too critical of BBQ joints. I was raised in Southern California, and in spite of that fact, I was raised on Texas Bar-b-que. Some of the greatest BBQ I have ever tasted is still Joey's Texas style Bar-B-Que in Chino, California. I hit that place every time I go there. Nothing beats Texas style Brisket and nowhere tops Joey's. So, the bar has been set fairly high for me when it comes to meat cooked over fire! To add to the dilemma, I lived in Kansas City for two and a half years and learned what ribs should really taste like and discovered the delicacy known as "Burnt Ends". Having traveled all over the world, I can tell you that Kansas City is clearly the leading city when it comes to bar-b-que and I left there spoiled. I am rarely impressed wherever I go to eat BBQ. I love Pat's in SLC and there was a decent place in Heber City that served Texas style Brisket...outside of those two experiences, every place falls short. It leaves me quite sad truthfully. I have learned that the best smoked meats in Utah are those cooked in my own smoker. Nonetheless, I try. With every Barbecue joint that opens, I go...filled with hope...only to walk away with disappointment. I usually will give these places a second or third visit because, after all, I am a hard critic on BBQ. Well, after three visits to Dickey's, my judgment has not changed. Great gimmicks with the free ice cream and pickles (catering to pregnant women in the area), but outside of that I am simply not impressed with their meat...and for a BBQ joint, if you don't have great meat, you don't got nuttin'! Summary: I miss Joey's. I miss KC BBQ. I am a critical jerk when it comes to BBQ. Dickey's is not awful, but it ain't great either. Just another middle of the road, ho-hum, BBQ joint hoping to fill the void.

Talk about a disappointment. For the price you pay, the meat servings are pathetic. The sausage just tastes like something you can buy from any supermarket and are just a couple dinky pieces. The ribs were way dry and hardly any meat on the bones. I did love their pickles, and loaded up on them to make up for the crappy meat. The rolls were good too, and my husband though the jalapeno beans were the best part of his meal. The onion straws were too salty and the baked beans were meh. The mac and cheese was the most awful thing ever, it was over cooked noodles in pretty much cheese flavored water. The baked potato casserole thing was so-so. BBQ sauces weren't too bad, but were pretty runny which is not my style. The free ice cream was..... not good. It was just cheap ice cream that tasted very ice-crystally. Sorry Dickey's, we wanted to like you and even came back multiple times in the hopes that it would get better. I'll come grab some beans and rolls and stock up on the pickles, but that's about it.

For the 2nd time going there, when I walk in although no one else is in line, NOT ONE PERSON says anything to me. Not "Hello", not "what may I help you with?", not a "be right with you", not even a merry Christmas (as it was Christmas Eve". Finally after about 3 minutes the kid behind the counter says "What do you want....". I Order my wife's sandwich and he promptly need go find buns, after that I was forgotten. Someone walked up to the end of the line and ordered, got his food first and paid before I was looked at again. They had no pickles or ice cream but they did say I could have some. I told them that I couldn't because they didn't have any and walked out. Next time I will not make the mistake to walk in. The food here has never been good enough to go out of your way for, but with this kind of repeated service, I will never be back. I love me some Q but there are other places not far that will make you much happier.

arrived and never visited before. i waited at one end of the counter and then moved to where the register was and two people talked to me, but no one would take my order. so finally i left. i called and asked how to get my order taken. i put it in by phone. i got my food and it was wrong. they fixed it and gave me a free drink. i couldnt find a clean table so i picked the best of the dirtiest. the food was pretty good...even all the flies thought so. you get plenty of food and it was good and you also can get free ice cream cones if you want. i doubt I'll be back because of the filth and bad service. i guess if you get it to go and phone ahead or order online you might be ok. oh yea one of theemployees came and sat at table right in front of me and talked on his phone the entire time i was there. RUDE!

Service was great, and the staff was courteous and attentive. This goes a long way for me. I ordered a two meat combo, getting the brisket and the pulled pork. The brisket was quite good. The sauces were also pretty good. I think the original was the best, but the sweet and the spicy were both good. The pulled pork was probably the worst I have had at a BBQ place or even steak house. It was fatty, and obviously chopped and not hand pulled. The sides were hit and miss. The mac and cheese was bland and super over cooked, turning into a congealed mush. The fried okra was good, and the portion size was huge. The fries were mediocre. I have been told by friends from the Dallas area that Dickey's and Sonny Bryan's are the two joints that compete head to head. In my book Sonny Bryan's is vastly superior.
