    Just got back from Dickey's Barbecue Pit at Murrayhill. I used to go here all the time, and the food is usually pretty good. However, the prices have gone up substantially, and I had some concerns about sanitary practices on a previous visit, so it's been a couple of years since I've been there. But I had a coupon, so I thought I would try them again. On today's visit, I ordered 1/2 pound of Chicken ($12.49), 1/2 pound of Pulled Pork ($10.49), 1/2 pound of Jalapeño Kielbasa ($11.49), and a "large" (less than a pint) Mac and Cheese ($7.99). When I got home, the portions seemed pretty small, and I wondered if I had gotten a half pound of each of the meats. Fortunately, I do a lot of mailing and have a postal scale. So, I weighed each of the meats, and they were all well short of a 1/2 lb. I assume most people know that a 1/2 pound is 8 ounces, but at least 2 of the 3 young Dickey's employees were not aware of that fact, so I thought it might need mentioning here. (More on that later). The chicken was 5.7 ounces, the sausage was 6.4 ounces, and the pork was 5.9 ounces. So I called the store. I explained the situation. I mentioned, "You do know a 1/2 pound is 8 ounces, right?" Dustin, the guy who answered the phone, said, "No, it's not. It's 6 ounces." I said, "No - a pound is 16 ounces, a 1/2 pound is 8 ounces." Now, keep in mind that Dustin wasn't the one who sliced the meat. It was a young lady with semi-bleached hair (I didn't get her name.) So I'm assuming that she also thinks a 1/2 pound is six ounces. I'm hoping this was an honest mistake, but I'm not sure it was. It seems odd that at least two of the three employees think a 1/2 pound is 6 ounces. I also tried to reach out to the owners to talk to them before leaving a negative review, but it appears that they now live out of state. The local business has let its business license lapse, and several other Dickey's franchisees have filed for bankruptcy, citing challenges with the franchise model. Combined with my sanitary concerns that I won't get into here (it was about three years ago), I don't think I'll be coming back.

    This is a hard review. The food is blah however the service is good. The staff is attentive, very helpful and was there to answer questions if asked. When we walked in we were politely greeted and had a good conversation with the guy making the sandwiches. Unfortunately, that's where the good stops. The bread on the sandwich is thick and dry. The beat had no flavor at all. I never encountered barbecue that could not have the smoke flavor. The green beans had some spices and were cooked nicely. The red beans were cooked soft however the flavor was in the juices, which means the beans were not slow cooked. Sorry, I will not be back.

    Did a takeout so can't really speak to the dining experience. Southern bbq food was bomb! Brisket, sausage, chicken, sides all full of flavor. Quick service from time we ordered to time we picked up.

    All I gotta say is this: an hour after eating, I'm at the toilet purging my guts out. Big mistake; I'm never eating here again. Update: got lunch here and found plastic wrap in the chili. Disappointed yet again.

    Laughably, criminally small portions.

    The meat was very dry and disappointing. The Mac and cheese was decent as well as the loaded mashed potato casserole.

    I feel like most BBQ places do one or two things well, while one or two things are just okay. That…read morewas NOT my takeaway from Bottos. After reading the great reviews, I'd wanted to get over there, and I'm glad I finally did. The ribs were perfect, the pulled pork was as good as I've ever had. When the brisket is solid but the least exciting bite, you've got a great platter. The mac and cheese side is excellent. I loved the slaw, though I'd skip it next time due to more onion than I'm cool with. Sauces are okay, but would love a spicy option. Honestly, none of the meat begged for extra sauce, I just love sauce. Seating was limited and the place is pretty small, so probably hit and miss during peak hours. Loved the food. Will return.

    Absolutely incredible BBQ--must try!…read more OK, so first off, the service was amazing. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and they'll bring the food right to you. Heads up--this isn't a fancy or romantic date-night type of place, but trust me, the food more than makes up for it. We ordered the pastrami brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage, and spicy sausage--all delicious. The spicy macaroni and cheese? Oh baby. Probably the best spicy mac & cheese I've ever had. We also had the stew (delicious), and even the baked beans -- which I normally don't like -- were delicious. And of course, the ribs were tender, smoky, and delicious too. The whole place smells like real deal slow-smoked barbecue, and every bite proved it. A delightfully delicious spot from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!

    I didn't expect to find good BBQ outside of the south, but this was a pleasant surprise!…read moreAnd honestly, it shouldn't come as a surprise because the food in Portland is some of the best in the country. IMO. This BBQ is Kansas City style, so the sauce is a bit sweeter. We got the brisket, the chicken wings, and sides. We couldn't decide if on the sauce for the wings, so we got all 3 on the side. The Alabama white sauce was A+ The brisket was perfectly tender. It had great flavor and marbling. The wings are full wings with the drummette attached. That's the way to do it! They are smoked and then fried. They got the crisp just right. Let's talk about sides! We got the collard greens, coleslaw, and baked beans. They were all FANTASTIC! The coleslaw is a vinegar coleslaw, which I love. It wasn't the sweet mayonnaise style that most people don't enjoy. It was so good! The collard greens were perfectly flavored and tender! I couldn't have done better myself. The beans were sweet but also savory. Not super sweet, which makes me happy. Very well balanced. The server was super friendly and nice. She explained everything to us and made sure we were happy. They have a bar with various beers. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Very casual but perfect for BBQ. Highly recommend you try this spot!

There is outside seating out front as well. The person who took our order was friendly and patient while the kids figured out what they wanted. I ordered the burnt ends sandwich which was super good. It's messy to eat and had really good flavor. My hubby ordered the brisket sandwich and he really liked it. We had 3 kids with us. One kid got just plain nachos (just cheese) and liked it. The other 2 got the pulled pork nachos and shared it and had some even left over. We all liked our meals and would eat there again when in the area.
