Two meat and two sides and Texas toast, with a side of a rib
Violet H.

This is not the Dickey's I remember. I went to two locations in California years ago and enjoyed the food. But times have changed. The prices are higher, and the portions smaller. I'll start with the sides. I got delivery, which took a long time because of traffic, and I believe that affected the quality of the mashed potatoes. They were a gluey lump, but they still tasted okay. The green beans were bacon were terrible - the green beans were overcooked and the bacon was nearly non-existent. But someone dumped a ton of pepper on it, so for me, it was inedible. The baked beans were fine. It came with Texas toast but you get only half a slice these days. Now for the meat. The smoked ham was good but way too salty. One expects ham to be salty, but not this much. The rib was good. The sliced brisket was fine, although nearly to the point of getting dried out. I asked for original BBQ sauce and got nothing. I appreciated that the sauce was on the side but it only works if they actually pack the sauce. I also got a pulled pork sandwich. It was small and smashed down, and meh. They did have great 2-for-1 deals I took advantage of, so I saved a lot of money. But the quality just wasn't there.

As a self proclaimed BBQ judge , I've eaten my way through smokehouses across the country, and Dickey's in Kapolei truly stands out. The brisket here is competition level perfection, clean smoke ring, and tender with just the right bite. Ribs are textbook, pulling cleanly from the bone without falling apart, and the pulled pork is moist with just the right mix of bark pieces. Even the sides are dialed in, especially the green beans and mac & cheese. And don't skip dessert, the owner recommended the pecan pie which is rich, nutty, and the perfect sweet finish to a BBQ feast. He was right!! Service is top-notch: the team is friendly, quick, and clearly proud of what they serve. The Kapolei location adds its own island warmth and aloha spirit, giving it a family vibe that sets it apart from other chain restaurants. Consistently excellent, great portions, and fair prices....this Dickey's proves that chain BBQ can deliver the real deal when done right. If you're in Kapolei and craving authentic Texas-style BBQ with a local touch, this is the place.

Brisket, fried okra, bbq beans
Leila F.

Haven't come here in a long time but we always loved the brisket. Unfortunately my serving of brisket (which is $1.25 extra) was dry and needed sauce for flavor. I enjoyed the fried okra but the bbq beans that is supposed to have bacon in it had absolutely no bacon in it. The service was great though.

$20 for this?! Pictures on their menus are deceiving folks beware. And they forgot my bbq sauce.

I can always count on Dickey's for a delicious, filling meal that hits the spot every single time! Today I treated myself to the one-meat plate, and let me tell you... it did not disappoint. I went with double potato salad because it's truly that good and honestly one of my favorite sides ever. I topped it off with their sweet BBQ sauce (my go-to!) and that warm, perfectly soft corn muffin that just completes the whole meal.

3 Meat Plate
Ashley J.

Ordered take out and it wasn't the best bbq I've had. The amount of meat we got was ridiculously small for the price. 1 star for the extra bbq sauce they gave on the side and the fried okra. Plenty of okra given and it was good.

YES Dickey's is back and better than ever! The staff were friendly and food was Amazing! I ordered the half rack rib plate and the ribs were THICC and juicy. I couldn't decide which of the 8 bbq sauces to get so I bought extra for $0.50 each to try three of them (Original was my favorite). If dining in they have a nice open and clean dinning area. I saw online on sunday kids eat free with an adult plate so will be back then. So grateful to have an amazing Texas BBQ place on the west side again!

1 meat plate with chopped Brisket, Texas Toast, Loaded Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, and Mac & Cheese.
Natasha T.

Visited again and loved the food as always! Mac and cheese, fries and brisket never misses. Always a winner, and the staff were so kind and accommodating. Also tried the pecan pie this time and LOVED it! Will always be back :)

Bbq ribs

Originally from Texas so I'm picky on BBQ. Got the brisket and ribs. Both are amazing! Super tender and full of flavor. Had loaded potatoes also for the kids that do not eat meat. Bbq sauce was super good . I like that they have the drink machine with 100s of choices . Customer service was great. They had little strawberry ice cream cups for the kiddos for 85 cents so it's nice to see affordable treat for kids. On Sunday's they have kids eat free with adult entree so a great way to take everyone out ! The place was super clean also! Workers were very nice.

Sides
Mari T.

First of all, I am not a huge meat fan, so take my review with a grain of salt. I walked in for the sole purpose of getting a couple sides of fried okra cuz they're Taylor's fave and left with over $50 worth of food. I LOVE sides. Potatoes are my favorite food. I also love mac and cheese. I saw they had a veggie plate where you get 3 sides and texas toast so I knew that's what I wanted. I then went to their website and there was a coupon for signing up for the mailing list. Then when you make a rewards account you get a free sandwich! The coupon was for min $45 purchase so I got 5 veggie plates with an assortment of sides. Unfortunately they were out of Texas toast so I got rolls instead. They also forgot to put my fries in the bag but were very apologetic when I called and luckily I was still in the area so I could go back. Highlights were the mac n cheese (reminds me of a bagged one we had at Disney that was so processed but so good) and potato casserole (like mashed potatoes with bacon). Green beans quite peppery were ok. Fries ended up being a bit overcooked but I like the fresh cut texture. Beans had good flavor, mash also peppery but good. Everyone loved the fried okra. Can't wait to go back and try more items! The menu is very extensive and the rewards program is great! Plenty of parking right in front (cuz Kapolei dats why)

Ask the Community - Dickey's Barbecue Pit

Do kids still eat free on Sundays?

Do they have the free soft serve ice cream?

yes

Do they serve rice?

Yes

Does anyone know if their phone works or if they take phone orders? Tried to call numerous times and it rings and rings...then it says "Remote Access code needed at the end."

Late October 2018, I have personally witnessed the phone ringing while workers behind the counter winked at each other saying, "I don't hear anything, do you?"

So is there table service or must I order at a window after standing in line?

You would order at the window and then grab a table :)

Just had my mom's surprise bday party here in their upstairs mezzanine area and it was amazing! I…read morebooked with Tessa and she was very helpful (and patient because I reply very slow lol). The booking was very straightforward, they don't charge a space rental fee as long as your party spends at least $1000 on food and drinks altogether. It doesn't have to be on one check, as long as it all adds up. We were able to decorate the area a bit for the party. Of course if you plan on partying here be wary of making too much of a mess or damaging things. Kiki then helped me preorder all the food for the party, and she also assisted with the surprise. Ashley was our server for the night and she did amazing! I was bothering her and Kiki and asking them questions all night and they were so nice and patient the entire time. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, it was as if they were family friends :) the speed of service was great too. I know we put the bartenders to WERK but the drinks still came out in such a timely manner. Finally, the food and drinks were BOMB. I've only been here a couple times before this, so I got to try a lot of items i haven't before at the party. Everyone was raving about the food! So many people who haven't been to DB grill before said they found their new spot. And if you like to drink, they have something for everyone. My grandma kept asking for more soju cocktails . The only thing I would warn about is that the AC is poppin upstairs, so bring a jacket. I would give 10 stars if I could. We love the DB grill crew!!!

**DB Grill was a mixed experience for a get-together with friends.**…read more The food was actually pretty good overall. We tried the wings and poke nachos, and both were solid. The portions were good, the prices were decent, and it's the type of menu that works well for sharing with a group. Service was okay. The staff wasn't overly friendly, but they were efficient. Parking was good, and the overall vibe was chill, though it did get a bit noisy. The biggest issue was the condition of the restaurant. The place felt pretty run down. The floors were very dirty, the seats were torn and patched with electrical tape, and the windows were so dirty that we actually thought the restaurant had shut down one day when we were walking by. The bathrooms were also pretty gross, even for a casual bar/restaurant. I wanted to like it more because the food itself was good, but the cleanliness and upkeep really took away from the experience. They definitely need to do a better job maintaining the place. I'd probably only return if I heard they had cleaned up and refreshed the entire restaurant.

Very positive, upbeat, and attentive. She has great servers intuition. For example, i was going on a soda fast and she could tell that I didn't really care for the lemonade. She was quick to help me find another option. I ended up going for just a plain green tea as their tap/soda machine wasn't operating properly. Second time, same issue with soda machine, but I did get to have the Li Hing Lilikoi Daiquiri that did not disappoint! I will be back for this! I do wish they fix their soda machine though. The food is always why I come again and again. The main things to highlight would be... Umami Scallion Rice, Shio Negi Tofu, Garlic Shio Cabbage. Yaki-Shabu beef, toro beef, umakara Ribeyes are definitely a must too! Scallion rice is definitely underrated, imagine scallions mixed with rice and a light semi-sweet and savory sauced flavored rice! I could eat like two and be good, but you wouldn't want to stop thefe. The negi means green onions so that with tofu... what can go wrong? I do like all the marinated meats and such! I do really enjoy the Umakara as it's rich deep flavor really brings an umami punch as well! I definitely want to come back already. Overall, a great place to come after work and enjoy some great service from Rayce. Everyone else there is super nice. The bartender, ciara or ciera? Drinks were really good too! Aside from the soda machine being down, I have noticed sometimes the menus aren't the cleanest. But, as a whole, I would definitely not let that stop me from coming!

Taste was great, especially when you add some of the Watah to it. I ate as much as I could, but probably ate only three quarters of the dish. Later in the evening I was still full, skipping dinner. It's a good spot to go in Kapolei for some Filipino-Hawaiian Grindz!
