Dickeys has great BBQ, chicken, and brisket. I had the "Baker", which is a large baked potato stuffed with grilled chicken, cheese, sour cream (and whatever else you want) on it. The sweet tea is excellent, and everyone gets free ice cream for dessert!

I had my first visit here prompted by a gift certificate I received. I ordered takeout and got the family pack. We chose the sliced beef brisket and turkey breast. Both the brisket and turkey were tender and juicy and very flavorful. The sauces I got were the original sauce which was a standard vinegar based sauce and the Carolina... More

This is barbecue country, so that a place calling itself "barbecue" etc. ought to be good, and this one isn't.

Dickey's is a Texas based "barbecue" chain that has been around for 70 years (the original location is still in operation), and has opened several locations in the Triangle, Winston Salem, and Southern Pines in 2010 and 2011. There are some good things about their food, unfortunately none that related to the various "smoked" meats on their menu. Thie setup... More

I am constantly traveling and everywhere I go I try to find a local BBQ joint. While Dickey's is not a mom and pop type restaurant it is very good BBQ. I had the brisket and sausage special with fries and slaw. Everything I tried was delicious. I am originally from KC so I am not used to the types... More

Great BBQ and ribs, yummy rolls and good ole sweet tea. Save some room for a FREE self-serve ice cream cup at the end of your meal (complete with chocolate syrup).

Tough to compete with the local Durham BBQ spots. Ribs are solid and fries are well Done and they do have free ice cream, so they have that going for them. Other sides didn't impress.
