First off it smells amazing in here. And it's Veteran friendly without the whack job right maga vibes. Brisket is wonderfully tender and tasty. The polish sausage was fantastic but a bit chewy. I do wish the mashed potatoes had actual gravy and not the gravy mixed in. Didn't feel like enough and they tasted dry. We came in and staff was fantastic and friendly. read more

I was disappointed that drove over 30 minutes to pick up the food and the fries, cookie and pecan pie were not good. The brisket sandwich was decent. I tried to use my coupon for the free sandwich but since I didn't have it on my original online order, the guy said I could not get it. They seemed overwhelmed. Multiple orders. 2 people and 1 of them was new. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Front Counter - Barbeque Near Me - Douglasville, Georgia

The food here is good! I've never had an issue with Dickeys food at all but I don't know why the restaurants are always dark and dingey lol. The lights are always on dim, there's never anybody sitting in there, and it always has a weird dusty smell. But the food is always good and the staff is super fast. Just let some sunlight in the place haha! read more

My husband did me the pleasure of picking up dinner after a horrible day at work. Unfortunately the food was less than ideal. Specifically the fries. They are soggy yet somehow burnt at the same time. We are very disappointed. This issue has been noted by other customers as well. read more

Always good, always friendly, and always consistent. Go here for Texas BBQ. blahblahblah is that 85 characters? read more

I stopped in here for lunch one day because I've been seeing it for a while and wanted to try this out. This place is actually bigger on the inside then it looks. The ladies that served me was very friendly. They let me sample before I bought anything which was a welcome surprise. I ended up getting the chicken breast, pulled pork, baked potato casserole & Coleslaw. The chicken was flavorful and tender. The pork was tender & delicious. But the Baked potato casserole was simply to die for. Besides from the great food they have, the little bbq spot has awesome customer service. A++. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Smoked Chicken breast, pulled pork, loaded potato, Coleslaw, and green beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Douglasville, Georgia

Overall it was okay. Kind of over priced for the portion size and they charged me $5 for bread I didn't receive

My husband got takeout from here around 8pm last night. I sort of expected a 'bottom of the barrel' meal since it was close to closing time-- not the case! We both got pork sandwiches and they were EXCELLENT, melted in my mouth. They had run out of their original BBQ sauce, so we mixed sweet and hot together-- not a bad combo, I totally suggest trying it. Hubby also got a side of fried okra that was seasoned nicely. Mac and cheese wasn't too shabby either! (Apparently I was way too hungry to take photos, but next time, friends, next time!) I can't speak on behalf of the restraint cleanliness or COVID precautions, but I had pretty good food last night so I would have zero qualms about going back for more. Plus they always give you the awesome reusable plastic cups! read more

This is truly a family restaurant. The family is so sweet. The food is amazing here. It is a must try if you're in the Douglasville area. I'm from Texas and always love the pork burnt ends. Yes! 5* from me. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - It is by Publix - Barbeque Near Me - Douglasville, Georgia

Food was good, but the place was very dark, prices went way up and they no longer have salads, ice cream heck they didn't even have lids for the drink cups. Women's Bathroom was dirty and the men's room door was off the hinges. Very sad to see this place go down hill so fast. We used to love to go there and meet our friends for lunch. We won't be back read more

We have long loved Dickeys in several cities and have sadly seen them close many locations. Spotted this one while in the area and were happy to see it. First thing you notice is how dark and dingy it is inside. Place is in desperate need of lighting and a deep cleaning. There's a ladder propped in a corner, boxes of supplies stacked on tables, many items on the menu are just marked through, and it's just not clean anywhere. Bathrooms have junk in them as well. The food wasn't up to what we remembered and enjoyed, fries were very greasy, brisket very fatty. The two employees were friendly and helpful, perhaps the only bright spot. read more

There was a large hand written sign on the door that said CLOSED! Not your ordinary closed sign. Looks closed for good?!? But with very few options in Douglasville, I go by every maybe 4 months and hope for better! Maybe lucky for me it was closed if nothing had changed and I saved some money. However, my next BBQ choice this day was a strick out!!! Not my day for eating locally - BBQ anyway! read more

terrible service. They were late with my food and waited until I arrived for pick up to tell me most of my order isn't available. terrible rude service. read more

Food is great. Service is super slow. I know the meat is cut to order but the meat guy has got to take more than one order at a time. This is the 4th time I have been to this location with the same result. My advice is to either order online or be prepared to wait. It took 15min to get my food with only 1 couple ahead of me. This is No good. It needs to be faster if you want to serve businesses and their employees on break. We only have a limited amount of time. Like I said be prepared to wait a very long time. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Barbeque Near Me - Douglasville, Georgia

First let me say, I love the food. I when last week and got the pork lunch with slaw and okra. Every bit of the food was great. I ate the sandwich and some of the sides. Every bite was great. The problem was that no one wore a mask. Not the employees or most of the customers. It was foolish of me to eat there but I took as many precautions as I could. But I won't do it again. So 5 stars for the food, 0 for safety, brings it down to 2 stars. I can't wait for all this to be over. read more

The food was pretty decent and the staff was friendly. The place was clean including the bathrooms. if I am ever back in town then I will definitely stop by here again. read more

The BBQ itself was not the best, not the worst. The Brunswick stew was fair, a little spicy, but flavorful. The service, however, was absolutely atrocious. The young man behind the counter was rude, belligerent, and had 10+ people standing there waiting for well over 20 minutes while he did everything from send text messages to prep meat. We asked if we could order since we thought he was waiting on us and he sharply replied that he was busy and we could wait. Not sure if he was just having a bad day or whatever the case may be, but a sliver more effort in the job he signed up for would be beneficial to not only the customers, but the company as well. read more

The meat/ribs always taste chewy and stale. It's like day 4 or 5 on a left over day out of the fridge. 3 visits and same each time. Wonderful staff. read more

After reading the reviews we decided to try Dickey's for a little change. We both got the Brisket & Chicken combo plates for $22 The guy cutting the meat was very UNFRIENDLY He did not give us slices of Brisket but SHREDS NOTSO TASTY THE CHICKEN was okay The Beans and the rolls were good I gave it 3 stars because the cashier was pleasant and the tables were clean read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Barbeque Near Me - Douglasville, Georgia

Really good food. We did delivery for our first time and it was actually amazing! We will definitely try it again and come in next time!:)

The food is very pricey and you get a really SMALL portion considering how much it cost. The flavor is just ok. Not the best.

On Tuesday, July 16th, my son and I went to Dickey's for lunch at 1:30 PM. The manager was doing the cooking and the plates. Both persons behind the counter were friendly and would answer questions about the product. The service was fast and friendly, the food was serviced hot and the atmosphere was wonderful. The fried okra tasted homemade. As soon as my young adults come home, it will be off to Dickey's for some delicious BBQ and fried okra.. read more

My husband really enjoys a good bbq spot so, today we decided to try them out. I'd never heard of the Dickey's restaurant chain. When we entered the restaurant, the aroma was very welcoming. The sweet smell of smoked bbq filled the room. The staff was friendly and promptly took our order. I had the 2 meat platter. I selected the chicken and pulled pork with Mac n cheese for my 2 sides. (I really like Mac n cheese :-) The original bbq sauce had a nice tang to it and was very flavorful. It complemented the food well. You can enjoy self-served refills on your drinks and a self-serve ice cream machine is there if you want an ice cream cone for dessert. We enjoyed our meal. My daughters ribs slid off of the bone and my husband liked the brisket. I gave it 4 stars because the meat portions were small. Specifically the chicken. Also, the ice cream could have been creamier. It seemed more like ice milk. (I'm comparing the ice cream to Chick-fil-a's ice cream which I really like) It's not a deal breaker in making a decision to return or not, just citing my preferences. Good food. Welcoming atmosphere. Nice staff. We'll be back! read more

I always have to give the reviews when I stop in. As always we love some Dickey's barbecue.

Got there and didn't know what to order and Michelle and Santerria were extremely helpful and let me sample different things to see what I like. I really appreciated the customer service and the down-home feel! Food was also excellent! read more

Great little spot for barbecue plates, sandwiches, and ribs! Sides are good, too, including fried okra, and other veggies, as well as fries, slaw, rolls, etc. I usually get the ribs, which are beyond tender and tasty. Nice ordering/cook staff that are always friendly. Dining room has ample seating for a cafe, but you can always order it to go and take a rack of ribs home to the family! read more

This place was so much better than we expected. Service was decent but the food was very good. I was super surprised by their spicy bbq sauce BC I didn't expect it to be so delicious and spicy. Their coleslaw and pull pork are both delicious. They sold out of the brisket so we didn't get to try it but definitely next time. We'll be back read more

I got the rib plate. Rib were very tender, falling off the bone. Disappointed that there were no sauce for them. Maybe my fault for being in the older generation. The sauce was always put on them. But really good.... read more

My husband and I just moved to the area and had Dicky's for the first time. We got the Picnic Pack with the Old Recipe Polish Sausage. It was amazing and the staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be regulars. read more

Dickies is one of my favorite places to eat in town. I especially love going on Sundays after church because the kids eat free. I get the same thing every time: the brisket and green beans. The brisket is fantastic! I prefer my chopped with their original sauce. My kids love their meals as well. I highly recommend Dickies. read more

honestly the bread was the best part of my meal. i ordered a 3 meat 2 sides plate, i had brisket, pork ribs and spicey sausage, with mac n cheese and barbecue beans. oh and a tasty piece of bread. lets just say this the food was horrible no flavor at all. he's customer service was decent but i will never ever eat here again. If you want some good barbecue look else where. Management if you are reading this please work on the quality of your food i mean you guys mac n cheese was horrible. read more

My family and I have visited about two or three times. The first visit was good enough for a second trip but it o my went down hill from there. The sandwiches were good. I like the meat; however Athe fries and okra tasted like the very grease they were cooked in. The green beans tasted like they came straight out off can. And the baked beans were just nasty. I will say the coleslaw wasn't bad. If you are like me, sides help bring a meal together. With not so good sides, I will not be returning. read more

Worst bbq in town. Large chunks of fat, bland, and tasteless. I left feeling greasy and queasy.

Portions are horrible for take out, I hate that I did not review my order prior I have a picture of 3 meat and 2 meat....as you can see my ribs had no meat wish I could get a refund but the 2 young girls working im sure had no control it's what they are taught...I never do reviews but I wanted to warn everyone to save your money or go to Shane's more for your money....remember theses were supposed to be a2 meat dinner and a 3 meat dinner... read more

See all

Being from Texas, Dickeys is my favorite bbq. The Douglasville store needs a manager at night. The food is good, when it isn't out. They even have Frito Pie and tacos. Tonight I went to purchase a rack of ribs (on rib night) and two 3 meat dinners. After waiting in line for 15 mins and watching the young guy in front of me flirting with the two young ladies behind the counter instead of placing his order i left without anyone asking me if they could help me. I ended up going to Shanes Rib Shack (which is closer to where I live) for the first time. They got my $50 instead. I hope management corrects their problems. I hate to see another Douglasville business go out of business read more

We had my birthday bash catered. The food was delicious; pulled beef, fried okra, slaw and of course mac'n cheese. Everyone was very complimentary of the quality and taste. I grew up (50+years) with Southern BBQ and this was the best. read more

I called Dickey's BBQ tonight (Saturday) around 6:00pm to place an order because their online ordering was down. No one picked up the first 2 times I called. The 3rd time I called, Natalie picked up and told me she needed to place me on a quick hold and she would be right back to take my order. As I waited on hold I decided I would start driving that way (at that point I had been on hold for 10 min), I got to the restaurant 20 minutes later (at that point i was still on hold when I walked into the restaurant. It was not busy inside at all. I mentioned to the gentleman behind the counter that I had been waiting on hold for over 30 minutes and he said "are you sure it was with us" I said yes, Natalie put me on hold. He looked at the girl next to him that was just standing there and said "oh" then he said "what do you need" i proceeded to order a rib plate and chicken plate and he said "were sold out of ribs and chicken". I explained that would have been nice to know over the phone 30 minutes ago. He didn't say a word and walked back into the kitchen and Natalie just sat behind the counter on her phone. The customer service is awful. I went down the street to Williamson brothers where the customer service was amazing from start to finish. I haven't had Dickey's before, but after that experience; I'm okay with that. The owners and managers need to hire a new staff that is geared toward better customer service. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Barbeque Near Me - Douglasville, Georgia

Barbecue was much better then I thought. Really love the Odawalla Lemonade and FREE, yes FREE ice cream! Yay !

I dropped in today for lunch after being referred to by a friend, I'm always up for good barbecue so I was looking forward to it. I ordered a pulled pork and beef brisket with onion tangles and Brunswick stew, I was assured the stew was great.... To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I tried the Brunswick stew, it was burnt and the taste was the absolute worst I've ever tried. I wouldn't feed it to a dog. (That bad) next I tried the polled pork, it was undercooked. The beef brisket was ok.... Nothing special... The bun they had was as hard as a brick. They were out of Coke and two other soda flavors. When I went to the bathroom the door was broken, the walls were not clean and the floor was torn up, black with white patches, why is this place in business! read more
