Fast service, nice people working there and delicious brisket sandwiches! Different levels of heat in their various sauces from not hot to pretty spicy! Their fried okra is great, too. There are a number of sides you can choose from! Cute place... very clean . Enjoy! read more

Worst meat ever . Was turning rancid . Mac and cheese was 3 out of 5 but meat was horrible. Worst bbq ever and was dry . No sauce even though I ordered it. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. The floor and table were sticky. The only employee was sitting at a table with another woman. She hopped up to take our order. Prepared some of it by throwing it in a microwave or fryer then went back to the table. We heard the timer go off 3 times before she got back up to get the remainder of our order. The bbq was dry. The Nashville chicken sandwich was a fried square of processed chicken with a slice of cold American cheese on top in a greasy bun. French fries were totally unseasoned and stuck together in a pile. Even the sweat tea was bad. Bathrooms were dirty and someone was too lazy to put the toilet paper and paper towel rolls in the dispensers. She couldn't even look up or stop her conversation to acknowledge us when we left. read more

I ask for a combo #3 I was told their fry machine was down. I had options of anything but fried food. It was down for cleaning at 6:55 while the store closes at 9pm. The ice cream machine was cleaned out so we couldn't get our ice cream in the lobby . The teas were gone too. We were the only ones in the restaurant. It looked like they were already closed. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because the pulled pork sandwich was decent while the green beans looked like it was scraped from the bottom. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - This is the drink area. No tea and everything was picked up. - Barbeque Near Me - Farragut, Tennessee

Went here on Saturday evening and waited 30 minutes after the arrival time of when it would be ready. The brisket was the absolute worst brisket I've ever had in my life. The meat was old, cold, and dry. The Texas toast wasn't even toast, it was bread slapped with some butter. The French fries must've been sitting for hours. Everyone was in their teens and terrible customer service. Worst experience I've ever had at a dickies. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Terrible brisket and super dry - Barbeque Near Me - Farragut, Tennessee

I'm so glad I stopped in for a casual lunch at the Farragut location. Upon entering, the place appeared clean and I was pleasantly greeted by two lovely ladies behind the counter. A large menu board was displayed with all their offerings. Decisions, decisions....as I worked my way through the line to place an order, I noticed the "deal of the day" being advertised for $9.99, I thought to myself, I've hit the lunch lottery! The meal included a pulled pork sandwich, two sides, and a BIG yellow cup (I chose cabbage slaw and potato casserole as my sides). I found a nice corner table to enjoy my lunch, which was brought out by the smiling young lady running the register. The real shocker for me was, they offer UNLIMITED soft serve ice cream cones!!!You can't beat this deal anywhere in Farragut. The bread was fresh, the pork was tender and seasoned. The slaw was a little too sweet for my liking and potato casserole was not what I expected. Overall, the meal and customer service experience was exceptional, so much so, that I would return for another meal when I'm in the area. read more

Gave me some weird chunks of " pulled pork" and gave me an attitude when I asked for it to be ACTUAL pulled pork . Looked at me like I was dumb . Okra was over salted. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - " Pulled Pork" - Barbeque Near Me - Farragut, Tennessee

Came at 5pm on a Tuesday. Place was completely empty. Questioned whether it was open or not even with the open sign on. With it being dead inside I understand but this is what I observed: Ice cream machine not in service bbq sauce was not out and when I asked for some they put one in the "warmer" and it was ice cold. Suggestion: have some in the little containers ready to go to give to customers upon request. Soda machine was out of most of the drinks Deal of the day was brisket and pork, they were out of brisket. Customer service was ok. Forgot a few items, had to ask for them. Sad that they switched from the butter rolls to the Texas toast, they're not as good. Over all... Food tasted good. But room for improvement needed in the restaurant area. read more

The staff is great as usual. They are always very kind and attentive. The restaurant is very clean. The brisket, well it needs some work as it was wrapped in plastic wrap which made the meat tasted strongly of it, not even the BBQ sauce could cover that strong plastic wrap taste, nasty, It truly is not as good as it used to be, very stringy and for the price, it's really not a value anymore if one can not eat it. I am sorry, but my money may not be worth anything to you, but I worked hard for it, and expect respect as a customer in the way of a quality, editable product. read more

My first visit here was quite impressive. My wife and I walked in, studied their menu board, then got into a queue that moved quickly. We ordered from one of two employees that were staffing the restaurant. They promptly put the order to gather, and within minutes we were at our (self-selected) table. The prices are phenomenal! It was $10 for a pulled pork sandwich with two sides and a large (self serve) cup. AND, they offer complimentary small (self serve) ice cream cones, as much as you want. You can bring the plastic drink cup back for $1 refills. Speaking of $1, the have one dollar bottled beer Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 2pm to 5pm. We had the pulled pork with pickles and added their original BBQ sauce, the Cole slaw and the potato casserole. All the food was as good as any BBQ place I've been to in Knoxville. When you compare the value, it exceeds expectations. The restaurant theme is Country. The restrooms are private, but separated by gender. You bus your own table. We're coming back! read more

Well, DO NOT order today (2/29/24) the same thing you got 3 months ago and expect the same meal you had 3 months ago. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! We ordered the same meals we ordered 3 months ago and paid the same price, not the problem. PROBLEM is today's meals are less than 1/2 the servings as previous. A rib platter should equal ribs not 2 little burnt ribs. THIS IS OUR LAST ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. Neither meal was able to be eaten due to the overcooked meats. read more

first time going. ordered family pack online. Was bold doing so for a first timer. food I give a 5.5/10. just wasn't something that made me say yummm but not only that I didn't get my order correctly! ordered a kids nugget and fries ontop of my family pack. didn't get it the nuggets or fries. I was told they was out of nuggets but they will slide some extra chicken to accommodate. well didn't get the fries with that accommodation that I paid for. paid for extra pickles and onions for our SANDWICHES didn't get that. didn't get BUNS for our SANDWHICHES they promote on their family bundle. kids apparently eat free on Sunday, they should of just took my kids meal off or refunded me but didn't offer. tried calling but they send you to voicemail and no voicemail box. read more

Giving 2 stars is generous. Just ordered a half rack to go. Half of which were burnt and inedible (well, by humans anyway). Service was good and the staff were friendly. They should've just known better and not served something so bad. The other half were very good and the sides were okay. I'll probably go back but I would definitely eat in the restaurant so as to give instant feedback. read more

This place seems to go through phases. One time the food was great the next time ugh what happened.

First off: 100 on the health score on the wall as of December 2016. That's awesome and let me take a deep breath and relax about my food! I enjoyed the sauces that came with the meal I got; so whether you are a sugary sauce type or a bitter type they have the spectrum that covers your palette. The meat was good quality and how could you argue with free ice cream?! Out of all the BBQ I've had in the US I'll give this joint a 4/5. If you're on this end of town do give it a try! read more

This is solid BBQ, for a good price. They have lots of choices for sides and even when there's a line it moves quickly. The meat is all cooked well and all the staff is friendly. They have a good kid's meal and my boys LOVE the free ice cream afterwards. It's also always clean! And they have good family style meals too. read more

Ordered last night, and they forgot an item, and we didn't notice until we got home 20 minutes away. I called, and no one there knew how to process a refund, so they told me I could come in and get the missing item for free. I accepted that since I work nearby and figured it'd be my lunch. I'm sitting outside right now at 11:52 and they should be opened according to Google, Apple Maps, their website, and even the sign on the door. They're closed. I called, and someone actually picked up. I asked if they were open, and they said, "we're closed until 4:00 today." I told them their door and website say they open at 11:00, and the person I was speaking with just kept saying "we're closed until four," with no apology or explanation. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - pulled pork in a paper bag - Barbeque Near Me - Farragut, Tennessee

Went here for lunch three people. All of our meals were cold unsweet tea was full of water only food tasted horrible would not recommend ! and very expensive for the quality of food they put out read more

The staff was super friendly and attentive, the restaurant was extremely clean and well kept and the food was beyond terrific.

I do not recommend this place! My wife and I stopped there for lunch today. I ordered a brisket Mac bowl and a turkey Mac bowl. It came out ok. My wife ordered a kielbasa sandwich with no cheese and fries. She specifically ordered it with no cheese because she can NOT eat cheese! The young man that took the order recommended the westerner because it was like a Kiel hot dog. My wife said ok but no cheese. When we got down the road and opened our order they did not put our fries in the bag at all and they put cheese all over my wife's sandwich. We immediately called when my wife told the young man what happened he offered to give her a free fry and a free drink. Well that's bad since we had paid for the fry and never received it. It was his mistake about the sandwich but he would not replace it. So ,they cheated us out of our fries and my wife's sandwich! I would not recommend them at all! Terrible customer service! read more

I'm not sure if this is the location. I ordered through a delivery site. Anyways I got half pound of pulled pork, brisket and their ribs. Sides too. This is by far the best and most like real bbq you can hope to find in the area. I got all the standard flavored stuff. The pork was great and didn't feel super greasy like other places. The brisket is what I noticed the most, cut well and taste great. I've tried brisket from the other chains or places that sell it and this is the only one that looks and taste like what brisket should. The ribs were in good shape and not tough. The sides are tasty but not a set of options you need. Flavor is there and that's fine. If I had to choose, I'd go with the mac n cheese and coleslaw. I don't remember choosing a sauce but it came with one. The flavor was a little unique but it mostly tasted like a store kind with a slight difference. It reminded me of bullseye bbq sauce. Which isn't great imo. The rolls aren't great imo, shape doesn't help is the main reason. A yeast roll would be better way to go. I'm glad I tried this place. read more

Very disappointed. The food was excellent, but I will not order from this restaurant again. When we got our order, several things were not delivered (extra Texas toast, slaw topping for loaded baked potato and extra sauce. When I got order, I called to let restaurant know. They offered $5 off next order. I said this was not okay. They did offer to bring things to us. I was happy about this and thought this is great service. However, when the owner, manager or employee delivered items, I met on porch to say thank you ( because I thought it was great customer service to deliver it). When I met the person to say how much I appreciated it, a look of disgust was on that person's face. I was handed the food with the person saying "Here." while I tried to thank them. Terrible customer service. read more

Prices have gone up a lot lately. Even with coupon/deal you pay as much for a nice steakhouse dinner! Ridiculous.

Dickey's. Texans already know what to expect. Non-Texans, listen up. Dickey's is a barbecue chain out of Texas specializing in Texas style BBQ. For those who don't know, this means beef brisket, as well as different types of sausage, and generally a greater variety of sides than the standard coleslaw beans and potato salad available at Tennessee BBQ restaurants. I did not try the pulled pork. That's a Tennessee specialty, and there are plenty of places in the Knoxville area that knock that one out of the park. I came here for the brisket. Here is the low down. If you are in Texas, Dickey's is nothing to write home about. It is a chain. Similar to how to Chuy's is nothing special in Texas. If you are outside of Texas, especially if you are a Texas expat, OMG Dickey's! Brisket! There is no one else doing brisket Texas style in the Knoxville area, so this is your only option. The brisket was pretty decent. No, we're not in Texas, no, it's not Franklins. Ok. But it's pretty good for Tennessee. Especially good for East Tennessee. The original sauce was my favorite, we tried all three, the spicy wasn't that spicy. I didn't care for the sweet sauce, although Texas sauces tend to be a bit thicker and sweeter, the sweet sauce tasted like an ice cream topping to me - very strange. We enjoyed the green beans and okra, again, not the best green beans or okra I have ever had in my entire life, this is a chain restaurant here. But they were pretty good, and it was just nice to have a BBQ place that actually offers those options as side. Overall, anytime I am homesick, I will be hitting up here or Chuy's. I highly recommend it to anyone who has never tried Texas style barbecue and is curious. But obviously, if you're going to Texas soon, hold out for the really good stuff. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Two meat, double brisket and turkey. Okra was brought out fresh later. - Barbeque Near Me - Farragut, Tennessee

I do not like complaining, but this was ridiculous. I had heard a lot of really great things from a coworker about Dickey's and was pretty excited to try it. I have honestly never been so disappointed in a restaurant. The meal was $30, and the order consisted of 1/4 lb f pulled pork, 6 ribs, 2 caesar salads, loaded potato casserole, and was supposed to have 5 dinner rolls in total (paid for 3 extra). - The ribs were inedible. There were more bones and cartridge per bite than actual meat. We had to spit out pellets constantly. - After paying extra for 3 extra rolls in addition to the 2 that were supposed to come with it, we received one tiny roll. -The pulled pork was not honestly not bad, and pretty standard for anywhere, but definitely nothing to write home about. - Ordered 2 caesar salads and only received one. - I ordered curbside, and the woman who brought my food out did not say a single word, even in response to my talking. Honestly, I will never go back. There are so many BBQ places out there, and Dickey's was not up to snuff. read more

Friendly staff and well deserved rating. They did everything to make it cheaper on us.

Came to visit Knoxville for a week and stopped by here. Great food and good for large parties. Nice customer service and very timely. I ordered the pork ribs, baked beans, and macaroni. Loved the BBG sauces. There's also free ice cream. read more

I really enjoyed their bbq! The staff was so friendly! They were ready to help with any menu questions I had. They have a bbq sauce station, so you can try their three variations and choose your favorite. You can't not love their complimentary soft serve ice cream when your done with your meal! The owner in the Turkey creek location is an Air Force veteran, and it's always nice supporting those who supported our country! Go try them out! You will leave full and happy! read more

Best bar-b-q ever! Great food, great service, clean dining room, clean rest rooms , and friendly service. We will stop for this everytime we drive past on I40. So good! read more

They best chain BBQ place in that it embodies everything the down to earth places do. Excellent food and atmosphere. The Beef Brisket and ribs are some of the most authentic tasting I've had. The BBQ sauces are made in the standard three flavors, original, sweet, and spicy. The spicy which is what I get is a great add on to any dish. Just wish the side dishes where spiced better (green beans and jalapeño beans are just okay) Highly recommend you go for the daily deals and don't forget the free ice-cream on your way out. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - 1 meat plate with sliced beef brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Farragut, Tennessee

I had the worst customer experience I have ever had at this location. I placed an online order and my wife picked it up. It started with the staff forgetting to include 4 of the fried okra sides that were part of our order. To their credit, they did try to call me to let me know it was missing, but I didn't have my phone on me. Once my wife got home and we realized what happened, I called back to try to find resolution. The first guy I talked to tried to work with me on this matter and we settled on a refund of the sides since it is a 15 minute drive to their store. However, then we opened our entree plates to realize that 2 of them had the wrong meats. I call back but the same guy, says they are busy and will have a manager call me later. We decide to eat what food we have anyway because we have hungry guest. Then the manager calls.... he proceeds to tell me how there is no way the entrees could be wrong because he check them personally. He was suggesting I was lying to him and he could never make a mistake. At some point early in the conversation I called him 'man', which is what just what I say when I refer to a male when I can't remember their name. He absolutely lost it and started going off on me about how I should be calling him sir and how disrespectful I am. I didn't use any vulgarities nor was I even trying to be offensive. He continued to tell me off for the next 5 minutes and really offered little in the way of concessions for messing up my order on multiple accounts. No manager should ever act this way. The food is over priced and mediocre at best and the service is absolutely HORRIBLE!!! Don't waste your time or money at this place. read more

I have to take this moment to compliment Dickey's BBQ* on Hardin Valley Road. I am a 65-year old Son of the South, therefore I know that we "have" to eat Pork BBQ. However, Dickey's is Texas BBQ, so it is made from beef. My wife and I enjoyed the most wonderful meal from there today and, if I can convince her, I would go back for dinner tonight. Let not your heart be troubled as they offer the traditional local BBQ sauces to pour over the meat. When we lived in South Carolina for a while, I became a fan of the mustard-vinegar BBQ sauce that is native to the Carolinas. For the first time in over 20 years, I was able to savor Carolina BBQ Sauce. Dickey's is a chain of stores that has been around since 1941 and it is easy to tell that the grill masters are well-versed in their training. Take it from a connoisseur of BBQ, Dickey's is the place to go for a break from Pork BBQ. *- This review is written with no compensation before and/or is expected from Dickey's BBQ. I am using my own free will to pen this commentary. read more

I have tried to order carry out here twice. The first time using the app there was nearly an hour wait. I tried again today at 2PM with a 45 minute wait. Since I was nearby I drove to the parking area and called to place a phone order. The parking area was almost empty at 2 PM. I was told they didn't take phone orders. I'm immunocompromised so I don't do sit down dining. read more

I had to drive almost 2-hours to pick something up at Best Buy & happened to spot the Dickeys next door. We had never heard of it (& have been SO disappointed with the BBQ here in TN!) but I told hubby to go order us something to take home & I am SO glad I did! The ribs were smokey, succulent, fall-off-the-bone perfection & (as a retired chef, myself) the sauce was delicious & the creamed spinach (which nobody else offers) was superb. I will happily make up reasons to go to Knoxville JUST to get more Dickeys BBQ!! read more

We went on a day when kids eat free and I have to say its favorite now. The meat was fantastic, cooked perfectly, and the sides were awesome. Added bonus was the soft serve ice cream machine afterwards. We all left full and happy. We will definitely be doing back, even if the kids meal isn't free. I recently used them for catering as well and everyone loved the food. They showed up a few minutes early, and the food was perfect as it was ordered. I love supporting local veterans, he runs a great establishment. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit is located in the Turkey Creek Shopping Center off Parkside Dr near the Campbell Station exit of Interstate 40/75 and is next to Best Buy. The Knoxville area was introduced to Dickey's Barbecue Pit in March of 2015, when a 25 year veteran of the United States Air Force began a new career in the BBQ bidness. Dickey's Barbecue Pit opened in Dallas TX over 75 years ago with the simple idea of serving authentic slow-smoked barbecue to the Lone Star State. The restaurant broke out of its shell in 1967 and spread throughout the DFW area. Then in 1994 franchising opportunities became available, elating Dickey's ravenous devotees of hickory-smoked barbecue and the iconic "Big Yellow Cup." Not much has change since its humble begins, Dickey's Barbecue Pit has a modest and simple goal. "Be passionate about the art of great barbecue." I was first introduced to Dickey's Barbecue Pit when I was working for PFSweb at the Elm Street location in downtown Dallas. In the bowls of the skyscraper I found a bbq treasure trove. I have sampled various eats from their menu from time to time. Each in turn was deliciously smoked and satisfyingly scrumptious. On my recent visit I dropped into the Knoxville location and dinned on one of Dickey's Barbecue Pit's Texas Frito's pie (corn chips, beans, chopped beef brisket, topped with cheddar cheese, white onions and sprinkled with rib rub). Unfortunately, I was a little under whelmed by my choice. The beans tasted bland and left me craving a little more flavor. The corn chips were crunchy and not soggy in the slightest. The beef brisket was moist and possessed a wonderful smoked taste. The beef brisket was well trimmed and mouth-waveringly delectable. The meal was filling but not the best that Dickey's Barbecue Pit has to offer. The price was reasonable and under ten dollars. The interior was very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was family friendly and was filled with smiling faces enjoying the complementary ice cream. read more
