    2 Meat Plate: Brisket, Jalepeno Cheddar sausage, mac and cheese, and potato casserole. We added in the texas toast, cornbread, and chili.

    Really great service here, they are always very kind and attentive. I've been to a few Dickeys in CA but this one has been the highest quality. The brisket and sausage was so tender, super good chili as well. We got everything in the photo including a big yellow cup for $30. It fed two with some extra. Pretty good deal in my eyes.

    Receipt showing their false advertising of an $8.99 combo that costs $15.95
    Jeremy M.

    Family wanted BBQ, and Dickeys online ordering, plus this location being close to home, made it a convenient choice. I took down the items my family wanted and started the order. The online menu was pretty easy to use, and I found an online-only special for an $8.99 pulled pork sandwich combo. Perfect, as that's what my wife wanted! It was a hectic evening at home, and the kids were being a pain, so I didn't notice until later that the restaurant charged me $15.95 for that $8.99 combo, so I figured I would ask about it when I got the the restaurant to pick up my food. I showed the person behind the counter my receipt in my email, and they said. "Oh...that's the Texas price." Then walked away to help someone else. No apologies, no offer to fix the issue. Just a plain statement that for whatever er reason they were advertising a price that they wouldn't honor. I wasn't going to raise a hassle with a clerk while my food was still being prepped (they went about 15 minutes past the estimated time on the order, by the way - and the place wasn't busy at all), so I just took my food and left. Still it rubs me the wrong way. So beware - if you order food from them online, the price might not match. Check your totals before paying - even if your kids are distracting you. A lesson learned for me.

    5 Pork Ribs

    Enjoyed Dickey's when I travel through Texas so thought I'd give this one a try. The restaurant is decorated like the typical Dickey's being that it's a chain. I got everything to go. The customer service was great, very friendly staff. The food was good but, it lacked the flavoring I'm accustomed to from Dickey's. The serving size was very small and only filling up half of the small container. The ribs were the best.

    Dickey's Fries

    This Dickey's location is fantastic. The staff here are very quick to get your food out, answer all of your questions, and get your order correct. They have a few local specials too like their Dickey's Fries, which I highly recommend trying. The restaurant is usually not too busy, and it's easy to get a seat here if your dining in.

    The family is very sweet that run the establishment. The food is very yummy and I love the atmosphere in here. I ate a good portion of the food before snapping this picture. Everyone was very kind and accommodating. Very affordable for delicious bbq!

    Beef sandwich and a coleslaw
    Ed P.

    Most tender beef I've ever had. A overlooked restaurant and hidden, a must try the various sides. Great friendly staff.

    Steel wool found in our beans.
    Kimberly C.

    So Dickey's used to be pretty decent. Sadly, over the last year or two the food quality has gone down, portion sizes are smaller while prices have increased. Tonight we ordered (grub hub to deliver) and found a large piece of steel wool in our beans that ended up in someone's mouth. With that said, from the safety issue and dry meat, I think we are done with Dickey's for good now.

    Ribs and brisket sandwich. Did I mention fried okra? Yum
    Chris P.

    Meat off the bone; nuff said. They run drink specials as well. The service is nice cause you order at the table and they bring it out to you. 10/10 dateability. The ambiance is rustic as an old western. I love this place. I will eat here time and time again.

    Brisket Sandwich Combo
    Reem A.

    The nicest interaction I've ever had in a restaurant! We ordered pickup on Uber eats but there was some issue with the menu that was on Uber eats vs the actual menu at the restaurant so the guy at the front let us know he was going to create a sandwich for us and if brisket was okay, we agreed and decided to eat inside. Wow when I tell you I had the happiest time eating this sandwhich I am not lying haha it was that good!! It was hands down the best brisket sandwich I've ever had in my life. From the amazing food to the incredible customer service, you can't go wrong coming to Dickey's Rancho Sandiego! We will be back for sure!!

    Food here was great after the gym, highly recommend trying the three meat platter. Really enjoyed how friendly the guy at the counter was.

It's what gets me back in the door here. The mezcal marg and the meat. The live music is always awesome. We came recently and saw the Blind Miles Blues Band play - their vibe fit with the ambiance of the restaurant so well. It was awesome that our kids were able to run around and play while we ate dinner and talked. I am SO thankful for a restaurant that has food this good that also freely welcomes families with kids! Our waiter that night, Bryce, was awesome. He was SO attentive and so patient and kind when we had a bunch of requests for extra everything. We'll probably request him next time, he was that cool. Can't say enough good things about this place. I already can't wait to come back again!

Prime beef brisket was tender and juicy.  Peppercorn based dry rub and the smoky flavor combined with the high quality beef into some delicious brisket.

You can choose muffins or coffee cake (only $1 extra!) instead of toast, which I love by the way, but I really appreciated that she asked if I had tried the coffee cake because it's not what I thought it was.
