Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

OMG! Best bbq I have had around here yet! The place is small and quaint. Very helpful staff and great sauces! (there 3 different ones) can’t wait to go back with my parents or just by myself! My boyfrind and stepson went and my stepson is still raving about it and that was 2 weeks ago. If your looking for a great bbq place this is the restaurant to go too!!!

This little place is so cute. I loved to atmosphere and the food. Great place to run in and have lunch during work hours or on the weekend.

Dickey’s is fantastic. The daily specials are a good value and the food is amazing. The aroma of the smoked meat is a welcome fringe benefit and don’t forget your free ice cream cone for desert.

Just watched a young employee pour a bucket of nasty grease on the sidewalk right outside the front door, how disgusting. And now I’m watching normal people with their families walk on the wet pavement. What kind of violation is that anyway? I know it has to be something. And it certainly ruined any chance of me ever going into that restaurant again.

Unpretentious location in a strip mall, however the minute you walk in the wonderful aromas inform you that you are in for something special. This is not the place to bring a date but it’s a mecca for lovers of old fashioned southern style barbque. I ordered brisket pulled pork and smoked turkey combo at the counter. Lots of good choices of sides. The Macaroni and cheese was a bit of a disappointment as I found it lacking of any flavor besides cheese. However my partner in crime raved about it. All in all a surprisingly good experience.

Excellent food and service. wouldn’t find better for the price… especially if you enjoy smokey BBQ flavors.

My favorite lunch spot right now. My favorite «deals of the day» are on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. A nice portion of food at a really good price.

This place is yummy. I like the big bbq sandwich and their waffle fries. It’s a little expensive for lunch, but I’ve been many times and enjoy it each time.

The food is OK and the service is hit or miss — today was my last visit to Dickies. Service is either good or terrible. Today was terrible with the manager (same manager since they opened) trying to explain how buying 2 slides at 2.25 a piece (4.50) is the same as buying the value meal with 2 sides for 3.50. I may not be the smartest guy buy I am pretty sure 4.50 is greater than 3.50 as it always has been. Luckily the cashier saved the sale and made the change without involving the manager — I am certain the manager would have charged the higher amount and I would have either a. had a stroke and gone blind in one eye; b. left the food on the counter and walked out; or c. used paper and pencil to write out and make clear the basic math that the manager was not seeing. Planning to visit the WoodShop in Clarkston for BBQ going forward.

Not recommended for most kids… Besides the ice cream. Good food, small portions but «enough». Pretty overpriced as well

visited here for the first time tonite. The ribs are very good, sauce has a unique flavor, free ice cream, very clean inside and owner or manager comes around to all tables and asks how the food is. Beans were good, fries just ok, somewhat soggy but well seasoned, good cornbread, wish the ribs were hotter and though they do fall off the bone, they had a little more fat than I cared for. All employees were friendly, not really cheap but not super expensive compared to competitors with similar product, I would return

Stopped in for Lunch. Good stuff. I had the Brisket and pulled pork, both were very good. I would say you need to give them a try. O and a lot of gluten free options. I meet joe the owner. Nice guy.

The food here was pretty tasty — wish it was served warmer though (it was barely warm when we got it). The price isn’t bad for the portion size and the sides were pretty tasty as well. The rolls you get with the meals are amazing! Plus the free ice cream at the end — you can never go wrong with free ice cream! :)
There was a line when we got there and we thought it would take forever to order our food, but it was a pretty quick process and we were sat down and eating within 10 minutes of getting there. It wasn’t too bad.
They have sweet and unsweet tea here and it tasted good! Very good flavor.
The manager came around to make sure everything was good — nice to see this since this is a fast-​food style establishment.

We went to this location during the UofM and MSU football game… big mistake. The staff acted like the customers did not exist. Food was cold… soda was out and not refilled even after our request and cornbread was frozen inside. Don’t go here during sporting events.

Very friendly staff behind the counter, but woefully overpriced and just not very good. $ 14 for a tiny pile of ribs and two really awful sides (baked beans and Mac and cheese)? Felt absolutely cheated.

Its worth checking out. they have a good selection of BBQ meats, from brisket to pull pork and turkey and chicken options. I think the smoked turkey is the best of the bunch — good flavor and not dry.
So basically you go up to the counter and order your meat and sides, you can go sandwich or just the meat or meats — look for the special sandwich of the day its really the best value as a combo meal. Then pick your sides, a normal combo has two sides — beans are good and the waffle fries.
Pay the man, and get you drink and cutlery. There is also three BBQ sauces, by the drink, Original, Sweet and Hot. I like the sweet. Find your table and they will either bring your meal out or call you up at the cashier.
Don’t forget they also have free self server ice cream.
This place is busy — typically 4 – 5 tables full with a new customer every 2 – 3 minutes.
In and out in 30 minutes.

Pretty decent BBQ. Free vanilla ice cream. Large fry is the same as 2 small frys. You’d think it wouldn’t cost almost $ 2 more than ordering 2 small fry. Asked them they said corporate dictates the portions. Kids eat free Sundays.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I decided to stop off for a taste (a taste in my book is a bit of an understatement). I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in that there was actually an aroma of smoke in the air and actually a bit of smoke floating around behind the counter as they had just pulled something out of the smoker. This is a walkup kinda place so you aren’t going to get served table side. But you know what, this is what I’m used to from a BBQ joint.
So yeah, I think that this is pretty much a assembly line type of establishment when it comes to their product, but it is a decent product. Not the best, but much better than some of the other well-​established places in and around metro Detroit.
My haul amounted to a half-​pound of pulled pork, a half-​pound of jalapeño and cheese sausage, a full rack of ribs, a pound of beef brisket, a side of mac and cheese, a side of fried of okra, and a side of potato salad. Don’t judge me — I stock up so that I have some decent lunches for the upcoming work week!
Everything amounted to decent BBQ. The only problem I had was the cutting style of their brisket. Some pieces were correct (against the grain) while others were stringy and with the grain and then just some blobs or chunks of stuff, but the flavor was still pretty good. I got the sausage that I did because I wanted something spicy, but the cheese frankly got in the way. I’d prefer simply a jalapeño sausage or something similar, but it was still tasty and smoky. The sauce they provide is a good general tomato base with some pepper and sweet notes. Pretty good for the standard crowd.
The sides… well I would probably generally skip. The fried okra was actually pretty good but the mac and cheese was a bit too processed and the potato salad was rather flat.
I will definitely make a stop by here again in the future.

They have some really good BBQ — I would say it’s near some of the best I have ever had — the meats were really good and the sides were excellent. The bonus of free ice cream for dessert was a nice surprise. I wish there were some Dickey’s where I live (I was in from out of town visiting friends.)

I thought give this place a try, since the sign says been around since 1941. Ordered the 2 meat basket. Food was not hot, room temp at best. Ribs tasted burnt and no flavor at all, same thing with the brisket, zero flavor. Really Disapointed with this place, I thought it would be comarible to Famous Daves and Slow’s BBQ.
