Dickeys BBQ

I walked in here late one evening about 20 minutes before they closed. It was me and a coworker; there were no other customers in the restaurant. The crew was mopping up and getting ready to go home.
We ordered food and then took seats in the dining room. There was a TV in the dining room playing the Family Feud. My coworker and I wanted to discuss some work stuff so we asked if they could turn off the TV.
«No, we can’t turn off the TV.»
«Really?» I asked… «Why not?»
«We just can’t.»
So turned to face the room and asked «Do any of the other customers here mind if we turn off the TV?» Of course, there were no other customers in the room so nobody complained.
I turned and looked at the Dickey’s employee…
«We can’t turn off the TV,» she said.
We ate our food while the TV played and got out of there as fast as possible.
WHY IN THE HELL IS THERE A TV IN THE DINING ROOM IN THE FIRST PLACE?
HEY, DICKEYS IN BASTROP… TURN OFF THE DAMN TV.
Oh, and the food was mediocre. I can get far better bbq in a dozen different places in Austin.

The new owner is so RUDE!!! She needs to learn customer service skills. She doesn’t even look at you or greet you. Her first words are «For here or to go?» No smile, no Hello, no thank you at the end. It seems like she hates her job! I’m all about giving people second chances but she is rude every single time my husband and I go in. We used to be regulars at Dickey’s because the loaded baked potatoes are good but her attitude is unbelievable. There is no reason to treat your customers with that disrespect!

To call this BBQ does actual bbq a disservice. They might be smoking meat but they arent doing it well and are charging WAY too much fot it. For good Bbq in Bastrop, save yourself the time and money and go elsewhere. Even if you have to go to lockhart it would be better than dickies.

Dont bother. $ 30.00 for lunch for 2. Small portions of mediocre BBQ. Ft Worth area stores are cafeteria style and consistently good. Dont come to Bastrop looking for good BBQ. It hasn’t found us yet.
