3 meat plate 9/10. Jalapeno Cheddar Kielbasa 7/10. Little bit dry. Brisket burnt ends 10/10. Cooked well, flavorful, juicy. Pork 10/10. Cooked well, flavorful and juicy. Brisket sandwich combo 9/10. Ordered it chopped and got it sliced. Cut doesn't impact flavor. Still delicious, cooked well, fat had a good flavor to it too. Baked potato casserole 5/10. Needs some bacon and cheese. Maybe sour cream. Tastes just like dry mashed potato with minimal flavor. Asiago creamed spinach 8/10. Strong spinach flavor, small cheese flavor. Not bad actually. Maybe sautéed onions would also be good in it. It's kinda like a spinach dip. Mac and cheese 3/10. Tastes like fake frozen Mac and cheese. Like kids TV dinner flavor. Potato salad 8/10. Mustard-y. Ingredients are chopped/diced to a good size. Potatoes cooked well. read more

the meats were all so dry. I don't understand how a bbq spot can have such dry food. the Mac and cheese is def pre made from a factory. I'll never spend money here again read more

Worst Dickey's experience ever. I was looking for some Texas-style brisket but this wasn't the place. I'm familiar with Dickeys from living down south. Something got lost in translation. The potato salad was ok. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Barbeque Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Horrible experience. Entrance doors were filthy. Had the 2 meat platter. One small scoop of decent pulled pork and ONE slice of poor quality brisket. A stale plain dinner roll (small) apparently replaced the Texas Toast listed on the menu. The meal wasn't worth half of what they charge. One employee working. Never smiled once. Didn't say thank you. Mission BBQ (chain) makes this place look silly. read more

One of my favorite things about Dickey's Barbecue Pit is that kids eat free on Sundays (and a kids' meal is still enough for my growing kids). They offer a variety of meats (pork, beef, kielbasa, chicken, turkey, ribs), sides (creamy spinach, green beans, BBQ beans, jalapeño beans, Caesar salad, cabbage slaw, backed potato casserole, potato salad, and chips), fountain drinks, and desserts (pecan pie slices, blondie brownies, and chocolate chunk cookies). You can even get catering, which makes any event easy & stress-free. The staff is both friendly and patient. I think this is a great option for great tasting BBQ at any time. read more

Dickies BBQ is a very decent place for a barbecue. I enjoyed everything we ordered. I suggest ordering online and picking up your order, it's so much faster doing so. Ribs- (nice size bones) could've been better if they had more smoke to them. Pulled pork- a little dry, but taste really good with the bbq sauce provided Sausage- really good Coleslaw- really good (similar to KFC's) Potato salad- nice mustard flavor read more

The prices of everything have been inflated so much that they've started handwriting the new prices on the menu and giving the smallest, most pathetic portions. I ordered 2 sides plus a tiny slice of pie and it was $50. It's absolutely ridiculous for a chain that used to be decent BBQ for affordable prices. Now it's neither. read more

So I always felt like Buffalo really sucks for BBQ, but this is the best BBQ I've had in the area. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone perfection. Seriously, so good! I got the 3 meat plate with the ribs, sliced brisket and jalapeno cheddar kelbasa. Man that is some flavorful kelbasa! Spicy with a good char. The brisket was delicious with a nice rub and so so tender. My sides were the Mac and cheese and the creamy spinach. Both of these sides were incredible and I would love to eat the biggest bowls of both of these. Would highly recommend!! I believe that they rotate the meats they have available. Obviously keeping brisket and ribs as a regular. Can't wait to try all the other options! read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Ribs, brisket and kelbasa with creamy spinach and Mac & cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I'm from Texas and have been missing BBQ greatly. This was a good spot for it. The brisket sandwich was nice and flavorful. I'd say that the sides were ok. read more

This was surprisingly decent for a chain BBQ restaurant. While looking for a place that kids eat free on Sunday, I stumbled upon Dickey's. The pricing seemed inflated, but that's likely due to overall inflation / market conditions. The quality of the food was good though. Especially enjoyed the Beef brisket burnt ends. The little one enjoyed the baked beans and mac & cheese. Overall would recommend if you're looking for quick/easy BBQ; bonus points if you have kids that want to eat for free on a Sunday read more

The great bbq gets made really quickly. The people behind the counter are very nice and I love the wooden/country look of the restaurant.

If I could describe Dickey's it would be like a Boston Market with a BBQ flair. You have a diverse menu full of sandwiches, side dishes, and platters to choose from. (at an affordable price too) Last time, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with cheese and Buffalo sauce. I also added side dishes of Mac and cheese and creamed spinach. (my favorite side dish by far) In the past I've also ordered the brisket and the jalapeño cheddar sausage. (so good but beware it's a spicy one) All food is very hot and fresh, decent portions.....never any complaints here. They do catering too! Try it out, it's yummy for the whole family without breaking the wallet. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - My sandwich, sides and sauce! Lunch is served! - Barbeque Near Me - Buffalo, New York

So, I think this is a solid three kind of place. I've been here twice now, and it's a chain I guess, so it's not like I really need to add much other than my experience. Then again, isn't that all any of us are ever doing? Anyway, so I've had the brisket, the turkey and the chicken as mains, and the baked potato casserole (it's mashed potatoes), the jalapeño beans, the green beans and the brisket chili as side. So, the brisket is not bad. Pretty decent, but nothing amazing. The chicken isn't bad. The turkey, though, that's where they really dropped the ball. It was both flavourless *and* rubbery! Ew. So, brisket winner, chicken is decent. Turkey is honestly bad. The Texas hot BBQ sauce is their hottest sauce, and it's extremely mild. To me. IDK YMMV. But that's not too say it's not good, it's just not hot. On to the sides. The mashed potatoes are not bad at all. The jalapeño beans are lack luster. The green beans are from a can. But the brisket chili is actually pretty good. So potatoes and chili are the go to, absolutely! So, final thought on food is this: get brisket and Texas hot sauce with potatoes and brisket chili and you're in for a decent meal. It's not the best, but it's far from the worst. So, a solid three. Final thought overall: okay food. Price is I guess reasonable. The staff, however, have seemed like I'm bothering them every time I've come in. Which is... weird, because I kind of have talk to them to get my food? So IDK. But I'm sure they're getting minimum wage, so I can't really blame them. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Two meat plate with turkey and brisket, jalapeño beans and baked potato casserole, with an added side of brisket chili - Barbeque Near Me - Buffalo, New York

So happy we have a place like this around. The brisket is so juicy and tender. My favorite sauce is the Carolina gold but they don't have it online you just have to ask for it. I'm shocked they don't get more business. Will definitely be back. read more

Stopped by over the weekend for a Facebook deal of bogo meat plate with the purchase of two drinks. I ordered the pulled pork and chopped brisket, friend got the sliced and chopped brisket. Both of us are kind of bbq snobs so we expect a lot from bbq, especially a good smoke flavor and bark on the meats. Sadly there wasn't either on either of our entrees. The meat wasn't bad by any means but was a little bland and had a soft texture, most likely by being left in the steam bins. If your not a bbq aficionado you probably would like it more then I did. The sides: Mac and cheese, green beans, creamed spinach and potato casserole were all ok. Nothing really stood out. The portions were also a lot smaller then they looked on the website. I would say the best of the bunch was the green beans, they actually had more of a smoke flavor then the meats. The dinner roll that came with the meal was also nothing spectacular. Staff was very nice and helpful while ordering. Also the restaurant was extremely clean, especially for bbq food. To drink they have a coke machine that lets you pick the hundreds of different combos. A nice touch to the restaurant. Would I eat here again? I probably would if they run another bogo deal. But for 17.00 dollars for one meal I probably will pass. read more

The food was delicious and the employee was very friendly and promptly took care of our order. The restaurant was really dirty though - I noticed the soda machine had splatter all around the buttons which looks gross and there were boxes of catering supplies in the dining room which looked unkept. The ice tea tasted old. The truck was parked out back and had hand prints all over the windows. read more

Okay food and rather pricey. But, Dickey's is perfect for when you're short on time and need a real meal. If you're looking for top notch BBQ there are better options. But, if you're leaving work, want a hearty meal, and don't want to cook or wait for a table, this is a great option. The meats are, like any BBQ spot, the star of the show here. However, they can be hit or miss. The chicken is consistent and nicely seasoned. On my last visit, the pulled pork was fatty and lacked flavor, although it has been good in the past. The sides really leave something to be desired. Green beans had an odd spiced flavor and did not taste fresh. BBQ beans were unremarkable, and the roll was not worth the carbs. Sides are definitely Dickey's biggest area for improvement. At $17 for this 2 meat platter, prices are a little steep. However, I'll likely be back - more for the convenience than anything. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - 2 meat platter - green beans, BBQ beans, roll, chicken, pulled pork. - Barbeque Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got to. Easy enough to order here on yelp. Had a great deal two dinners with 2 meats and two sides. Just $25 and all of that was ours. Food was ready early from the time they allotted. If we had had it fresh it may have been better. However it was all delicious. I don't know much about smoking meats or bbq places. I just know when I like how the food tasted. I had sliced brisket and polish kielbasa, Mac and cheese and potato casserole, and an addition side of bbq beans. All amazingly seasoned and smoky. Spent money on some extra corn bread, but it isn't worth it. Completely crumbled and fell apart. Ordered a cup of pickles that didn't make it in my order. Outside of those few issues will definitely be back and can hopefully eat inside next time. Looks amazing in there. read more

I'm an essential worker, and with all that's going on with Covid-19, I really didn't feel like having to go pick up food for myself after work, so I decided to order delivery instead. I was in a huge mood for Barbecue, and there weren't really a ton of options as far as delivery goes - so I picked Dickey's out of a Yelp search, and ordered through the app as well. My delivery was dropped off in a timely manner, left at the door I'd instructed. I had ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich with mac & cheese and coleslaw as the sides. As far as barbecue goes, this wasn't absolutely the BEST, but it was still pretty good! I ordered their classic sauce which was pretty sweet, and as I ate it I could feel a bit of spiciness coming on. The only thing I didn't really like was how the barbecue came in a little container on the side, leaving me to have to mix it in with the meat on my sandwich. But alas, I think that's the downside to ordering delivery. Honestly I'd rather have a dry sandwich that I have to mix together myself than having it arrive all soggy like I KNOW it would have if it came all together. The mac & cheese was really nothing too mind-blowing either, but it was still pretty good - a little cold but I was able to heat it up and I ate the whole thing anyway. My coleslaw was fairly dry, but coleslaw is always super tricky to get right anyway so I wasn't too broken up about it. (Also, I am picky about my coleslaw.) Overall I really like the concept - leaning more toward a 'fast food' type of service with barbecue staples, it's nice for if you have a craving and there's no time to actually go sit at a restaurant. I'd order from here again, for sure! read more

Ordered on Grubhub, was shorted a peacan pie for 2.50$. Also please see the pictures, for the price of a three meat meal there should be way more food, very much false advertisement on their part. From any of my reviews you should know it is not my business to give completely negative reviews, but this one will be close. For the most part, the pulled pork had your average smoke taste, and the beef brisket was a cheap cut also very dry with no fat and no fat equals no flavor, which is why you buy marbled brisket. The best meat was the Jalapeño and cheese kielbasa very well done and should of made it a whole meal because I only got 3 small pieces. I was hoping for a homemade feel and taste of a Mac and cheese, but to be completely honest it tasted exactly like Stoffers Mac and cheese. See picture for the brisket slider, but come on guys make the presentation could be better even if it is delivery and where's the meat!? Two pieces of brisket on a medium slider with no toppings or sauce? Kind of treating this review like an episode of Chopped, how can I give a good review if I got scammed on the amount of food shown on their advertisement picture, frozen tasting Mac and cheese and worst of all a shorted ordered. read more

Maybe it's cuz I just had amazing bbq at TSG in Elma the week before so I was unfairly comparing it but Dickey's to me was just passable bbq, decent but not great. The workers were very nice when I picked up my order. Everything was present and packed well. One big gripe was the portion sizes were pretty tiny. I got a 3 meat, 2 sides plate thinking it would be enough for me and my husband to split for a light lunch like we've done at other bbq places and it was pretty light. Everything tasted fine, the pulled pork, the mac and cheese, the corn muffin, the baked potato casserole were all okay but not great.The creamed spinach was pretty salty. Our favorite thing was the chopped brisket and the jalapeno cheddar sausage so if I came back I would get one of those. read more

This is a very decent, but not great, barbeque place. I recommend the Kielbasa (either Polish or jalapeno cheddar), and the ribs (of course). Order at the back of the store from the menu and wait at a table, they'll call you when it's ready. It's a decent meal for the price and reasonably quick if you're on a schedule. And make sure to look on Yelp for coupons, our first time we used a coupon for a free drink during our first visit. read more

Great place. Great service. Been here multiple times when visiting UB. Always great

Came around a weekend lunch time to try this new quick service BBQ place. Took a few minutes to figure out the menu, and ordered the half rack BBQ ribs, beans as side, and jalapeño cheddar sausage slider. The ribs were tender and juicy, very good taste, however a little pricy-$12.5 and were missing one free yeast roll, I found out that when back home. also enjoyed the sausage sampler but feel could get more meat out of it. Two pieces were thin sliced. The place is new with decent seat, and drinking station to refill and free BBQ sauce. I would try other stuffs next time. read more

I had not been back to Dickey's for almost a year for various reasons. The first visit underwhelmed with dry brisket, and there were other things to eat in the area. So I was finally lured back to Dickey's thanks to an email BOGO offer. Looking for a fast, convenient meal for two, I went in and ordered two 3-meat plates. As someone from Texas, I'm always up for good BBQ. So far, my favorite in the Buffalo area is Fat Bob's, but in Amherst, there is Dickey's, a chain restaurant from Texas. And like they do in Texas, a 3-meat plate is a choice of 3 different meats and 2 sides. When I went in to order at the empty Dickey's location (warning sign #1), I asked if they had extra moist brisket. In Texas, when you order brisket, you can ask for moist or extra-moist cut which determines the fat content and therefore the juiciness of the meat. The young man taking the order stared blankly and replied with something like, "our brisket is very moist" which was warning sign #2 since he didn't know the terminology. I explained to him that I had a really dry brisket previously so I really wanted something moist and juicy. He said he would be extra careful and cut a really good piece of brisket for my orders. The young lady at the counter who took the sides order glowered at me, that facial expression of "I really don't want to be here and I hate my job." I gave her my sides order and she slapped the little containers together like ice cream. Part of the BOGO deal was that you had to buy 2 drinks - and I was surprised that drinks were almost $3 a piece, but $21 for two not so large 3-meat plates, if not a "deal" was still okay to lure me back to try Dickey's again. When I got home, I cracked open the to-go box. So far so good - the plate looked fine though the portions were stingy. Finally, the test taste. Why, oh why can't they make moist brisket? Dry as a mummy with a jerky crust, it was practically inedible. The sausage was fine. The pork ribs were actually pretty good (Dickey's does have a rib plate). The creamed spinach was fine, as was the very yellow potato salad (so yellow that it looked identical to the mac and cheese container beside it). Verdict? I won't go to Dickey's for brisket - sorry, even with a BOGO deal, that was 1/3 of my food that was dry. Ribs were good. Sausage good. I don't think Dickey's in Amherst has captured Texas style BBQ yet - franchise or not - and I suspect it's because they don't have enough customers, so they are leaving the brisket cooking far too long. read more

I just would like to know where the owner is of this location. The most disgusting place to eat. The floors are sticky and black, the tables were filthy and we came in at 11:25 and they open at 11:00. The only employee in there never greeted us. Back to the filthy: there are handprints on every part of this place. It looks like they never clean anything. The fountain drink machine has food sitting all over. Why is this place so filthy this early in the morning. Dust was everywhere. There's no way that amount of dust accumulated over night. Food in the chairs. I was so disgusted and could not believe the amount of health hazards. Food was Luke warm. NEVER AGAIN. I DO NOT RECOMMEND DICKEYS BBQ PIT AT 3220 Sheridan drive. Amherst ny. Zero stars read more

This is a good option if all you have time for is fast food and you want something different! The meat is really good. I had the brisket and jalapeño cheddar kielbasa. You add the barbecue sauce to your food after you get it. The spicy barbecue sauce had a nice kick to it without being overpowering. The sides are really underwhelming to be honest -basic cafeteria food that sat awhile under warmers is what the sides taste like. Our two meat plates came with two sides and a dinner roll, yet there is no butter or anything for the rolls. I will personally go back, yet I would just order 1/2 lb of the meat and forget about the sides and roll. Next time you only have time for fast food, give this place a try. The food is immediately ready. read more

Still loving the meat... I mean who doesn't love meat? Ok well, some don't, so if you aren't a carnivore, you might wanna skip this joint cause it's all about the meat. Stopped in for some fast sandwiches after a final round of after Xmas shopping, and was thrilled as usual with this restaurant. The fresh brioche-style buns combined with meat pulled from the smoker and chopped while you wait, and you get to sauce it to your heart's content. Its practically food porn.... I'm a fan and I think you might be too if you give it a shot. I would be in here daily if I could, but so many places to try, so little time. read more

Had a great dinner, the brisket was so good! Tasty, tender and had a delicious char. Customer service was so welcoming, too.

Our 1st visit to Dickeys and it was a nice one. We look forward to going back again. It was on a Friday evening just before 5 and the place only had one customer in it. That's unusual given the day and the time. I ordered their PitBoss Sandwich which was my choice of pulled or chunked pork on a huge roll with 2 sides. Mine were Mac and cheese and the potato casserole. My wife purchased the one meat platter which her choice was their medallions of chicken breast with 2 sides. Here's being the same as mine. Both of our meats were moist and tasty. The mac and cheese was good. Nothing special, but nothing horrible. Same with the potato casserole, which was basically chunky mashed potatoes. I did love their fresh brewed Sweet Tea! The meal didn't stuff me. I was satisfied. My wife's meal filled her right up. Being the only ones in there with the other patron leaving partially through our meal. There were 2 or 3 people that came in to get to go meals. We couldn't figure out why it so dead in there. The food was good and we will most definitely return. Hmmm I guess we'll never know way it was completely dead at a decent BBQ place on a Friday evening. read more

I've driven by here many times always meaning to stop, especially after reading some reviews. So one day I stopped in. I lived in Texas and down there BBQ is a serious game. When I walked in and saw they had brisket I asked the standard question, "Y'all got any burnt ends?" Normally this question leads to puzzled looks but the man behind the counter knew exactly what I was talking about. He said that they had some but not too many. For those of you who don't know what burnt ends are, educate yourself! I ordered the combo meal with brisket and 2 sides, one of which was Mac n Cheese. The brisket was superb, it had that great smoky flavor, the texture was perfect. The sauce wasn't too overpowering, and they served it on paper on a metal tray! It's been far loo long since I've eaten like that. The menu is very good, I'm going to stop back in soon. They have ribs and sausage and the usual fare. They also sell meat by the pound to go. But they have Frito Pie! And did I mention the Mac n Cheese was so good that I forgot the other side that I had ordered? The dining area was neat and everything was clean and spotless. By all means give this place a try if you've never had Texas BBQ read more

Bro. Dinosaur who? This is the best barbecue in the area hands down. Most barbecue joints just smother their meats in sauce, but at Dickey's the meat stands on its own and the sauce accentuates. Tried their meat plates, tried their sandwiches, and their sides are absolutely banging. read more

Good ribs and sliced Brisket I think it was I ordered slice but it looked chopped. Any how melted in your mouth with Spicey BBQ sauce my son liked the Carolina BBQ sause and hubby like the traditional. Sides where nothing special but corn bread was moist and flavorful. Deserts where good not homemade but it worked. Crew at takeout on Sheridan Drive fun and made me laugh. Would go back tor the meats again and again may try other sides like spicy bake beans creamed spinach or Baked potato casserole or even health Cesar salad. Called in order ready in 20 mins for pickup and echo friendly containers and prices on meats to vale very good. Takeout Friday here I come. read more
