Dickey&#x27;s Barbecue Pit - Brooksville

East and West Seeks BBQ Best stopped at Deep South Family BBQ in Brooksville FL on Sunday 3/15/26…read morefor an even dinner. We had heard from Rob at The Big Florida Dig, that this was pretty good 'cue. We all concur. It was pretty good. With ribs being the most liked and the brisket bring the least liked. Sides were all pretty good, too, with none standing out as really good or really bad. We enjoyed our meal with excellent service in a very nice setting. All in all, we left full, happy, and satisfied.

To start I have to give a shout out to the staff at Deep South BBQ! They were honestly some of the…read morenicest, friendliest people I have ever encountered. This was my first visit, but it will not be my last. Now for the food. Everything was delicious! Our table ordered pulled pork, burnt ends, and brisket. All were delicious!!! A terrific flavor. You don't need sauce, but I am such a sauce girly! They had several types of BBQ and the Korean BBQ sauce was a real surprise. The sides were all delicious too. The fried okra really stood out for me. Dessert is a must!!!! They are known for their fried peach pie. We got both apple and peach, and the table was split 50/50. Half said the apple best the best, and the other half said the peach was the best. Both were amazing, but my vote was for the peach! The indoor seating is limited but there is a large outdoor area with games and a fire pit. My advice is to get there early! We went late in the day and they were out of mac n cheese, but it gives us something to look forward to during our next visit. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping in and if they still have the Poly Juice Potion, give it a try!!!

What a great find. The cutest little place I have been to in a long time. Old Florida through and…read morethrough. From the artwork (old signs and decor made from license plates), to the staff (friendly,friendly,friendly) to the food. I had the brisket sloppy Joe, dirty baked beans and a sweet tea. It also came with a little piece of their spinach corn bread. The star of the show were the beans. They were delicious! Really delicious. My wife had the smoked turkey and she enjoyed hers too. If you are on a road trip, like us, don't be worried about taking an extra 15 minutes off of I75 to hit this place. And don't forget to squeeze the bbq udders for some extra sauce. :-)

They feature southern/soul food with a Cracker Central Florida twist. The name is a take on the original British Florida settlers, Florida Crackers the hardy, 19th-century pioneer settlers, cattle ranchers in Central Florida. They have BBQ, brisket and chicken including gizzards and livers. Lots of homestyle sides like Mac and cheese, baked beans (delish!), fried green tomatoes etc. Everything was delicious!

Waitress service4 was good even though when She asked me if our meals were OK I stated I was not pleased with my BBQ pork Dinner. Went nowhere. Managed to eat about half of it anyways.

When the asked again at the register how the meal was I repeated my concerns. "You should have asked for something else. " was the reply. Wasn't once was enough? Wife happy.

Fluffy scrambled eggs, onions, bell peppers, diced tomatoes, and plenty of melted jack and cheddar finish it off, with salsa and sour cream served on the side. Outstanding flavor, generous portion (I've never finished one), and excellent value. Enjoyed mine on the shaded patio (watch for occasional falling acorns). Service is always friendly. Bring cash or use the on-site ATM. They don't take credit cards. Still the best breakfast in Brooksville. Highly recommend!

Walking in through the screen doors is like stepping on the porch of yesteryear. Once inside, it's a carnival of cool. Fish bait tanks to the left, ceiling covered in NASCAR hoods, signs and things hanging everywhere. It's fun just to browse around checking out the cool memorabilia. Grab a cold beer or soda, and a snack. Boiled peanuts. Get some gas (for your car). They got it all. Blanche's is that 'Big Soda - Welcome to Brooksville' place!
