Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

First time coming here. Food was pretty good, however the restaurant and bathrooms were very dirty. Even stabilized tables with stacks of napkins, very gross. The bathroom was dusty and the floor in entire place was disgusting

Dickey’s isn’t my kind of Q but this location is different/
–walls of notes by «fans», no doubt young adults
–special of the day, monday is spud, not a fav
friday looks the best, pulled pork with 2 sides? or something like that
–free ice cream cone when eating in.
eats: potato salad (2.5)
–referigator cold when i first tasted it. potato mushy, sauce mayo and sweet
waited a couple hours and it tasted a lot better at room temperature.
crumbs:
–efficient, courteous service.

Me and my husband ordered from here thru our trusty Unilocal app we are from oakland and are used to having great bbq places there are not many of those in fremont. So we decided to try this place because there reviews are ok. But it was awful. Im guessing people in fremont have dead taste buds. We got the 2 meat place with brisket and pulled pork with sides of mac and cheese and okra. The okra was ok nothing great but not bad the mac and cheese was boring and plain. The pulled pork was ok but nothing special the brisket was God awful dry and flavorless. Overall sad excuse for bbq. We wont be back rather drive to find a place that taste decent.

I LOVE LOVE Dickey’s ! so we travel from Milpitas when I have a craving for their chicken and brisket. on Saturday night I was craving the chicken, low carb dieting and I really wanted that chicken… so we order and walk outside for few minutes and when we come back they informed us they were out of chicken… :(was looking forward to the chicken, but no big deal.
i just picked something else, then they didn’t have that either… still no big deal, just picked something else :) The reason I am giving 5 stars is because the gal that helped us was UNBELIEVABLE! her customer service was so outstanding, she left me in awe!
i do not know if she was the manager or not I wish I would have gotten her name, she was wonderful. she offered us two free sandwiches on another visit, plus loaded me up with the 3^rd meat choice I gave. she also packed our food and brought it out to us, instead of calling a number to the counter… GREAT GREAT customer service !!!

Ewww it seemed overly tough, dry to us and fried stuff was a bit burnt. Flavors were ok but I don’t think we will return. Kinda taste and feels like it sits out till ordered thus making it chewy and dry.

Food was delicious! Amount of food we got was more than enough. Love the free ice cream cone. Service was pretty fast for it being lunch hour. I’ll def be going back.

Great BBO sandwich with plenty of meat. There are 3 sauces to chose from my Favourite was the sweet .I like there cole Slaw was not a fan of there BBQ beans .Also like the onion tangle and there tea was refreshing .We will go back !!

I have tried Dickeys BBQ before and they still suffer from the same problems. BBQ is sub par, bill was $ 25.00 but portions were child sized. They no longer offer free pickles. All around disappointing meal. Never left any other BBQ place still feeling hungry.

We had some great service by a young gal at the counter, she was helpful since it was our first time. I had the beef brisket 1 Meat plate. It comes with two sides and a roll. My husband ordered a beef brisket sandwich and a side of fries and a drink. The drinks are huge! He said his sandwich was awesome, I saw it had pickles and onions in it. My meat and two sides were delicious. I had coleslaw and green beans (which have bacon in them). My daughter ate my roll so I can’t remark on that. Best thing was at the end of our meal we had the FREE ice cream cones they offer! Of course the whole fam enjoyed that. We will definitely return.
Only reason not 5 stars: they could do a better job cleaning the seating areas. The wall had some marks from when kids ate their previous ice creams. It’s definitely been there awhile. Floor wasn’t bad and the table was wiped down.

We recently veered from our usual dinner of the big pulled pork (or Brisket) sandwich w/​2 sides–
End of last month, we both ordered the 1 meat plate. It comes w/​2 sides. One of us ordered the pulled pork w/​2 sides of potato salad (YUM!). The other person ordered sliced brisket (you have to state your preference on brisket: sliced or pulled), 1 potato salad & 1 reg. baked beans. The meat plate had a lot of meat!!! We each ordered an extra roll to make mini sandwiches, but neither of us got a chance to eat them (too much food).
Everything was very tasty! No complaints about ANYTHING! We come here about 2x a month now & have never been unhappy w/​any of our meals. Sometimes, the potato salad isn’t chunky enough, but that’s about it.
*I’m going to reiterate that not only am I a very picky eater (no tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, avocados, etc.), but have health issues that make digestion of a lot of food impossible (garlic, most red meat, processed lettuce, non-​organic tomato based products, etc.). Pork is one of the items I have to be careful with. So far, only 2 places have ‘edible’ (not greasy or fatty) pulled pork or carnitas in Fremont: Dickey’s & La Casita.
Whomever orders a meat plate, whether it’s 1 – 3 meats, and complains there’s not enough meat-​maybe they need to rethink portion sizes… just saying! *Snort*Snort*
**BONUS: they had the Warriors on too!!!

I had a big craving for ribs on a Friday night and Unilocaled up a place nearby. I was uneasy because of the mixed reviews but decided to come here anyways. plus. who doesn’t like free ice cream? Well… I for sure made a mistake!
I ordered the RIB PLATE which came with 2 sides and a bread roll. I ended up choosing mac & cheese and potato salad. Ribs were not impressive. Came with 6 pieces. Meat was tough and. not enough meat! Mac & cheese was disgusting. The macaroni was overcooked and the cheese tasted weird. Potato salad had too strong of a weird taste. Bread was alright. — $ 14.95
Friend ordered the FRIDAY SPECIAL which was PULLED PORK, came with 2 sides, a bread roll and a drink. They literally gave a little more than a ½ cup of pulled pork. Stingy much? Meat was dry like the ribs. Had to drench in sauce. Friend’s choice of sides were mashed potatoes and coleslaw. Mashed potatoes were ok, but it seems like the bacon bits discolored the mashed potatoes. must’ve been made and set aside for a while. Coleslaw was ok as well. — $ 9.75
SAUCES: for some reason, the «sweet» sauce tasted more like bbq sauce than the «mild» sauce. Sauces weren’t bad though. Both sauces on the sweeter side.
FREE ICE CREAM: to think I came here for free ice cream. Ladies and gents, i’ll tell you now. free is not always good!!! The ice cream tasted like straight canned frosting! The kind you buy at the grocery store for cakes. YUCK.
Total: $ 26.92
SERVICE: I mentioned to the cashier guy that it was our first time dining at this place. He was not very helpful and was puzzled when I asked him simple questions about the menu. Did not make any recommendations and seemed kind of annoyed that we were taking a while to decide what we wanted to order. Nobody was behind us in line.
Won’t be back.
Try Harry’s Hofbrau instead!

I’ve been here lots of times before, but haven’t been coming here for a while. But Saturday afternoon, I came here with my husband. We both ordered the 2 meat plate. I got the sliced beef brisket and spicy cheddar sausage with mac & cheese and green beans. The hubby also got sliced beef brisket & pulled pork with mac & cheese and bbq beans with the large cup for a drink. The brisket was good, but a bit dry. Its flavor was only enhanced by the spicy BBQ sauce I had gotten for it (which is available on the counter where the beverages were at). The spicy cheddar sausage was hella good, probably my favorite out of the plate.
As for the sides, the mac & cheese lacked creaminess. It was still good, but could’ve been more creamy for better texture. Green beans were too salty for me and I usually love green beans so it was disappointing :(. I tried to buy the little yellow cup for a drink as well, but the girl at the counter said it was only for kids meals and the big yellow cups were all they offered. How lame?! I dont want a giant drink. I ended up just asking for a water cup. The only other plus side to this place is the free ice cream you get too. Other than that, I try not to make it a habit to come here.

Sad News… We haven’t been out to Dickey’s for quite some time, so we decided that last weekend we would go get us some BBQ.
It was still early, before 6pm and the restaurant wasn’t busy.
I don’t know how you feel, but, when I walk in to a place that I have been to before and everything just feels different… does the hair on the back of your neck stand up? or… well…It just felt different.
We approached the counter with a question… the girl had no idea what was the right answer and she said that she just started a week earlier. I said… I hope that you still have your job next week… as I glanced over at what turned-​out-​to-​be, her manager. He sort of smiled.
This was not a great start… The place looked «DIRTY» and the employees were an absolute mess… Not anyone that I would want to be cooking my food, that’s for sure… Shabby-​sheik? There was absolfnnnlutely no enthusiasm showing anywhere in the restaurant… We asked another question, stood back and… decided not to chance it. At this point… Dickey’s in Fremont has lost our business… No amount of free ice cream and pickles is going get us back, anytime soon…
So…Sad News for Dickey’s…We drove down to Kinder’s BBQ which is at the other-​end of the Shopping Center and shared a great BBQ Meal for less than it would have cost at Dickey’s…
and Clean, Friendly, knowledgeable people, working there and very helpful and actually showed us that they wanted our money… by being helpful, pleasant and friendly… FOOD was great… KINDERS BBQ FREMONT…

The best way I can describe the food is that it feels like the meat and sides have all been sitting out all day… even during prime lunch hour.
I tried the beef brisket, pulled pork and pork ribs with coleslaw and mashed potatoes. Pulled pork was the best of the three, but I don’t know if that is saying much. Mashed potatoes had a odd color and tasted old – it was missing the savory creaminess. Surprisingly, the coleslaw wasn’t drenched in sauce, which I appreciated.
As for the sauces, I thought the honey BBQ was unbearably sweet. The original and spicy were more tolerable.
Free ice cream and extra pickles are available.

Ribs and sausages are probably the best one here. Free ice cream cones for anybody that dine in. Free dill pickles as well. Make sure you get enough sauce, cause the sauce goes well with anything.
Hint… Thinking about going. Drop by Costco first to get the gift card. I swear to you its a good deal. They are usually $ 40 for $ 50 gift cards.

You will notice my reviews is getting shorter and shorter.
Trying to push my reviews out as fast as this place making their pulled pork sandwiches.
Got some waffle iron fries, honey iced tea and side of green beans. Decent tasting. Nothing «wowed» about this place.
Donzo!

Trying out this place again. And love the two plate meal with complimentary soft serve too! Yum! Will definitely come back again.

This is a great place to take the little ones along to get a free meal on Sundays although since they have raised their menu prices since I last visited, it would have been far cheaper to go to a regular restaurant. That being said, the BBQ is fresh and tasty. The sides are also yummy. The kids wolfed down their (free) dinners and enjoyed root beer floats they concocted from the free ice cream and root beer sodas. The service was exceptional, especially considering it’s a self serve place in many ways. They were more than courteous, friendly, efficient, and kid friendly.
And a PS: They no longer have free pickles! (Sniff)

My wife and I came here the other night since we had a craving for BBQ. My wife ordered the ¼ BBQ Rib plate with Mac and Cheese and Cesar Salad. I ordered the two-​item plate (BBQ Chicken and Sausage) and got the Cole Slaw and the Baked Potato Casserole. My wife’s ribs were really tasty and the meat fell off the bone. She liked her Mac and Cheese and salad. My Chicken was a huge disappointment. It was very dry and not that good. However, my Baked Potato Casserole and Cole Slaw were tasty. They give you their «big yellow cups» for soda, which are HUGE, so I hope you’re thirsty.
You also can have an ice cream cone, but the ice cream when we went was so soft that it wasn’t very good. I really wanted to like Dickey’s, but it fell short of my expectation.

Free pickles & ice cream … YES!
Clean, fast & friendly service.
Food is ok. The mac & cheese is close to being pretty darn good, needs a little something! I had the pulled pork sammy, love the sauce.
Left my wallet here. or outside … or in the parking lot …
Someone left it at my home!
Do you know someone who found a wallet saturday & returned to the address on the driver’s license? Send them my way! Would love to thank them!
