If you are hungry, this is the place to be. While DFW has lounges, no lounge has this type of food. Dickey's is one of the healthier options IMO at this airport - especially if you get stuck here because your airline continues to delay your flight to your next destination. Anyways, the 3 Meat Plate can't go wrong. The meat is tender and melts in your mouth. The sides are great too. The bread is meh. Thought it was toasted, but it felt like it came right out of a bag uncooked. Highly recommended at this crowded airport. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - 3 Meat Plate with 2 Sides - Barbeque Near Me - DFW Airport, Texas

I would like to start out by saying one of my favorite meals is a good bbq! Stopped by Dickeys BBQ Pit next to gate D28 at 9:00am. I ordered the 3 meat plate Brisket, Pulled Pork and Chicken Breast with two sides Green Beans and Fries. Unfortunately the best part about the meal was the two sides. ALL of the meat was SUPER DRY, almost like eating jerky. I guess I should have opted for the auto up sell to the big yellow cup, it would have saved me a trip to the drink station. I'm hearing metal kids constantly so I'm assuming they have the meats in metal warming containers that are just drying out the meats.... I will end by saying I did eat all of it forcing down with the extra drink, I was always taught as a child to clear my plate. I almost didn't though, I guess it was only because of the high price! I know BBQ is always higher and Airport food is always higher in price as well. I expected that when I chose to eat here because it's one of my favorite foods to eat. Unfortunately I have to say this is the second worst meal in my life, only behind the A&W burger I had in Okinawa that was like eating a piece of cardboard. By the way, that was the only meal in my life that I didn't finish.... Sorry Airport Dickeys just BAD FOOD HERE. Also I've had Dickeys before in other locations without any issues. I would give this negative stats if I could! read more

I got the two meat plate with brisket and ribs, plus mac and cheese, coleslaw, Texas toast, and a lemonade. The brisket was tender and had a nice smoky flavor, and the ribs were just as solid with good seasoning and came off the bone easily. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and the coleslaw added a fresh crunch that balanced everything out. Texas toast on the side tied it all together, and the lemonade was cold and refreshing. For airport food, this was honestly better than expected. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the portions were filling. The setup is casual and easy for a quick stop before a flight, and the staff kept things moving. read more

Opposite gate C6 at DFW I was looking at lunch options around noon and Dickey's Barbecue had decent pricing for BBQ, but it was some what hidden in the back corner of the food court, and was very quiet at a time that I noticed almost every other prepared food option in terminals B & C with long lines. That said the food court had comfortable seating with a nice ambiance and adult beverages being offered in this area. Not a bad meal option with food being catered to numerous Dickey's locations at DFW. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Barbeque Near Me - DFW Airport, Texas

Quick place to grab a bite of delicious bbq while hanging out at the airport. The pork was fall off the fork tender and a nice smoky flavor and the portion was good. The beans were loaded with pork and had a nice bbq flavor however the potato was a big disappointment for me due to it tasting like mashed potatoes with a few chunks of potato and not much flavor. read more

My pulled pork combo was finger looking good, as barbecue should be. This was more like a fast food Dickey's. Although it read full service, I didn't see any wait staff, so I ordered at counter. My sandwich had huge hunkd of super tender, cooked to perfection pork. The coleslaw was also very good. They had table seating as well as bar seating, but as it was not quite 1100 am, bar was not open. read more

This is possibly the worst brisket that I have ever had, and it was the first time that I ever had brisket while in the state of Texas. That's crazy. Awfully done read more

I thought since I have long 6 hour wait here before my flight in April 2025, I should eat something, so as I walked the entire length of airport and that took a very long time! This airport is huge! I decided this location which I later regretted and should have went to my other two choices instead like the other bar or bbq place. Oh well, now I know. I wanted one last taste of Texas Bbq and I decided in this chain restaurant. I seen this name in many locations around the USA and I thought might as well try it to see why they are just everywhere. Apparently they are from Dallas, Texas. But at this location the meat was dry, tough and did not taste good at all. There wasn't much business going on which should have been a hint to me to try the other places with more people. I told my friend about this when I went home and she said this is one of her favorite places and normally it tastes good. Ok I said, I will give them another chance in California to see if it is any better. read more

Our bartender Todd was amazing! We were craving a couple bloody Marys after our flight and to our delight you had BBQ style bloody Marys. Todd recommended we make it a double, and he was right. We each had two. They were perfect. When we closed our tabs he noted we were both military and thanked us for our service. Perfect service. Dickey's will be my new go-to in DFW for my future connecting flights, especially if Todd is at the helm. read more

It's a bbq joint and I thought the food was good. Not great. But it's great for airport food. It's fast and easy to order. It's right by a bar so you can order then sit down and order drinks. The ambience is ok. It doesn't feel like a Texas bbq joint but that's because it's in the airport. It's near the D gates so it's easy to quickly run to your gate and stop by the bathroom on your way. I'll remember this next time I fly into DFW. read more

We have been pushed all over this airport. We have a 5 hour layover and our gate changed 3 times! It could be more because we are still here. Welcome terminal C. Max and I stopped in for an order of wings. We got the sweet BBQ. Just for kicks, I clicked on the Signature drinks tab and my jaw dropped. They have Weller! For those of you who are bourbon lovers and can't swallow the price for a shot of Pappy Van Winkle, try the reserve. The Weller comes from the mash of the Pappy. I asked for an Old Fashion on the sweet side. The bar area is a nice size to enjoy some food and libations. read more

Order a breakfast toast combo. It was $16. Added a bottle of water for $3.99 She said my total was $27.00. I said it should be $20 + tax. She said tax is $7.00. I told her she was wrong. Manager comes over and corrects it. Also ordered breakfast sandwich combo with bacon as the meat. Got the sandwich. They used brisket. I said I ordered bacon. He said he heard brisket. My wife told him I ordered bacon. He said brisket is very good. Took it cause flight was coming up. Sometimes you should not only have 2 middle eastern employees neither of which speaks fluent English. And the food was crap read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Brisket platter and beer - Barbeque Near Me - DFW Airport, Texas

Came here with my boss before our next flight home. We sat at the bar and the server there seemed to not want to be there even though she took care of our needs. I just had a water and their 9 Piece bone in wings in their Sweet BBQ sauce and my boss had their Small Plate with Sliced Spicy Cheddar Sausage and sides. Our food came out in a pretty good amount of time. I tried a bit of the sausage and it was pretty good. The wings I had though, were really hard and dry even though they were covered in sauce. I still ate them though because I was hungry and I wouldn't have time to eat a meal when I finally got home to the east coast. I'm not sure that I want to visit another Dickie's. read more

$40 for 3 meat plate with literally no meat. What a rip off! Don't waste your money or time!

Had a layover and figured I'd grab a drink to kill some time. Stumbled into a Dickey's BBQ--but this one had a bar. Never seen that before! Gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. Gary, the bartender, was on point--friendly, quick with the drinks, and made for some good conversation. You don't always get that kind of service in an airport bar, so it stood out. My drink of choice? The Texas Mule. It hit the spot. The place was clean, had a solid atmosphere, and didn't feel like your typical rushed, overpriced airport joint. If you're passing through and need to unwind, it's worth a stop. read more

I'm hard to deal with when I'm hangry. Knowing this, I stopped in during my layover to grab a small bite to eat. So glad I did as we sat on the runway for an hour before departing. Orders are made pretty fast and it helped me get my food and back to my gate before boarding time. A military discount is available with proper ID. I ordered the kids meal ribs with coleslaw, bread and a drink. It was filling to hold me over until I landed and could find a proper meal. The portion was appropriate based on how much time I had to eat and my level of hunger. If you want a more filling option the other combos are better suited for that. There is dine in and to go service. Cash and cards accepted with no surcharge for using a credit card. If in the area, I'd dine here again. read more

For airport BBq, it was really good! The server helped me right away and cut up the meat that was ready. When it came to the fried okra, he made it fresh. This location, in terminal E, is nice since it has their own seating inside. It allows them to sell alcoholic beverages and host you with their BBQ ambiance. They offer 3 bbq sauces. I tried their spicy and original but they offer a sweet one. I thought the two I had were great! The spicy wasn't too hot, for those sensitive to spicy. The pulled pork was done to perfection but the pork ribs were a bit over dine. They both had great flavor, nonetheless. If at Dallas Fort Worth airport and have time, stop by terminal E to grab a bite! read more

Took this home with the family to share. It was okay. The pulled pork was good. I was excited about the ribs but was not pull off the bone and you really need to put bbq sauce to make it tasty. I like tasting my ribs without the sauce cuz you could really taste the meat on the rub, but this one you need to have a sauce. I just wanna say it was just a bad batch but idk. Service is okay as well. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Barbeque Near Me - DFW Airport, Texas

The BBQ is dry. I understand smoky. There was no sense of smoky flavor. There was no crust. It's supposed to melt in your mouth. This feels like unadulterated fat. Except for texture, I could barely tell the difference between the beef brisket and the pulled pork. I mean, was this even properly cooked? The okra is nicely fried. The outside is great. It's good while hot. But when I left it for a while and ate more - the okra took the consistency of soft rice-sized pebbles. But I can give this place a 2. The baked beans are awesome! Still, this is like the effort of a yankee. I'll take Martin's in Nashville or Salt Lick in Austin every day of the week over this slop. read more

Just ate here during a layover. The food was good, but the service was off the charts. You are truly lucky to have Todd working for you. He needs a promotion. He works his ass off and always is on top of the customer's needs. Will definitely eat here again when I pass through DFW. Seriously you need to groom this guy for more responsibility. read more

Todd was very help with the menu and making choice! Great attention to detail on everything!

Pretty solid food - especially since this place is located in the airport. I had the beef brisket plate with a side of mash and okra. The brisket was cooked just right, and the spicy bbq sauce really enhanced the flavor. The service was quick and the kids behind the counter were nice and polite. The amount of food I was given for $20 was way more than I could eat - it turns out a half pound of brisket is a lot of freakin' meat. I ate meal at the adjacent bar, which seems to be part of the establishment. Hardly anyone was there compared to all of the other restaurants in the area. Music is chill and low key. This is a great place to stop for a long layover. read more

Rekha was an amazing bartender and server. Every time I come to Dallas, I make my way to Dickeys because of Rekha!

The staff, prepared my sandwich, didn't not change his gloves, i saw him empty the oil at the stove to the bucket , and used the same gloves to prepare my sandwich. I just throw the sandwich cuz he's rude! I don't want to make a scene and it's too early for that. Pls management pls train your crew!! They should handle the preparation with cleanliness Horrible!!! Customer will get sick!!!! Or food poisoned!! read more

- Update 7/15/23 - I gave up trying to work with the corporate response to this review. While it seems like they are concerned, when I responded to the contact listed, my response fell into a queue where I received multiple emails of has this been resolved. I provided contact info and not willing to do their research. Really disappointed with Dickey's overall customer service focus. It makes me feel like their response was just to craft an image to the readers of my review to make it appear they are more concerned and care. I'll update if anything changes. I've been a customer of the corporation for 50 years and this location at DFW was by far the worst experience. End of update - Review - Service was marginal. Order taker was talking on cell while trying to take my order. Made me wait for about a minute and then acknowledged me and asked for my order while still talking on the cell to her brother. Finally, put the cell phone down to take order. Wasn't familiar with the term moist meat. Comment was "we serve sauce if it is too dry." Slices were more cubed than sliced.. Sandwich included some chopped as well. Packing containers are bulky formed cardboard and not airline friendly. Dry meat, dry, stale bun. Restaurant was clean and not overly expensive. read more
