    Perfect stop . Last thing to do in Georgia . 6 minutes away from Florida. The convenience Store is big and has a good variety of juices and cold drinks . The food at Dickies is good, the attendant was very pleasant and patient. The restroom was very clean . They even have showers . Very interesting!

    Welcome sign to a tri-restaurant area of the Kings Travel Plaza

    In business since 1941 and founded in Texas, Dickey's is about ensuring you enjoy your meal and visit. My encounter with them today settled my mind about the differences in the pits which seek to sell more at the cost of the customer, and those which create bettter food and treat their customers with respect. Twice employee's came to ask if everything was well and how we enjoyed our meals. Since this is a joint inside a Travel Plaza, I believe they certainly went above expectations. Dickey's has three sauces for customers. A sweet recipe, an original one and of course a spicey sauce. I chose the spicey which had seasons throughout. Not sure if they sell it by the bottle, but that will give me a reason to go back again. Dickey's has a web page and this is something you may desire to check out. I do know that this business supports more than the owners bottom line. Their support for firefighters and police who are sick or unable to work due to a disability means the more I frequent, the more support our first line has.

    This is the 2nd time I've eating here and it's an amazing place to eat!!. Its worth the money and time spend here.

    Love this place and 9nly been here twice. Amazing people and food. Very clean and money with spent on. I'd recommend this place to everybody..

    Macaroni and cheese, fried okra, ribs and chicken

    Cheese is fake on the macaroni and cheese, meat really dried out and how can fried okra have no flavor? Very slow service would not recommend this place. Even though I will have to say the furniture and atmosphere is new and nice, giving it 2 stars for that. Most disappointing meal ever!

    Ribs dry and tough. Small portions but more expensive. Advice: Go with the Mexican place.

    Don't waste your time or money. Bland pulled pork. Way overpriced! The sides were so-so under seasoned and flavorless. I won't be back.

    Went here for late lunch / early dinner on a weekend in the winter. The place is interesting…read morebecause there were no windows and the breeze was blowing through the building. Luckily there was a space heater right next to us to provide warmth. The outdoor seating had big heaters too, but they were reluctant to turn those on. The place had a really laid-back, country ambiance, like you would imagine a bbq joint to have. There were rolls of paper towels at the tables and your food comes in a plastic tray lined with aluminum foil and some plastic silverware. I had the centercut rib meal specifically because it comes with two sides and I wanted baked-beans and collard greens. The collards were but big unlike the chopped stuff I've had in the past and were good. The baked-beans were also good and I ate most of those too. The ribs (two) looked beautiful with the bark seasoning and they tasted good too. The meal came with some bread that did not taste good and I didn't want to eat all of it. The sweet tea was fabulous and you get free refills and already comes in a styrofoam to-go cup for the win. The service was excellent. The two younger waitresses were very nice, attentive, and helpful. No problems there. We learned from them that there is live music many nights during the week in the evening from around 5-6pm to close (I think around 9pm) Although I had a great experience at Captain Stan's, I unfortunately cannot say that the food is life-changing, which is what I am looking for with BBQ. The prices were fair and the portions were more than adequate. *tip - they offer a military discount.

    This is the real deal: a classic roadhouse with truly excellent barbecue. To make it even better…read morethere was a very good band "Midwest Riders" playing that night, playing mostly country from the 70s-80s, switching to rock with an emphasis of the southern genre on the second set. And a few of their own songs too, which were pretty good too. All the way from Michigan of all places. The specialty here is the ribs. They are heavily smoked with a substantial dark bark. Great flavor, tender, and meaty. They're served without a sauce; just the dry rub is sufficient. (Maybe there was sauce available on the side but I didn't ask.) The rib plate is a serving of 2 ribs with a choice of 2 sides. Also sliced pickled banana peppers, a nice touch. I thought 2 might not be enough so I upgraded to the half rack (5 ribs) and ate 3 and saved 2 for later. They were quite large so I probably could have made do with 2. My sides were collard greens and potato salad. The collards were kind of ordinary, but the potato salad? Wow, almost as good as my wife's, who makes the best! Potatoes not cooked down to mush, not too mayonnaisey, tangy, peppery, and crunchy from diced peppers. Good portion sizes for the sides too. No corn bread or hush puppies, unfortunately. Other barbecue items include chicken and Boston Butt. The menu makes it harder to order these as a meal (a la carte only for some reason) but it can be done. Also chili, peel&eat shrimp, oysters (when available locally) and a few things for non-barbecue lovers. I sat at the outside bar where I could easily take in the scene: the band on the stage, the cheerful warm fire in the center throwing sparks and a pleasant smoky aroma, the patrons, many of whom were in costume on this Halloween night, kids dancing to the music (surprisingly no adults), and dogs all over the place running amok and having a great time too. Speaking of the bar: don't expect craft beers or gourmet drinks here; it's all generic national brands. I had an Angry Orchard, a pretty bad cider from New York. Lingering a while to listen to the music I eventually finished with a slice of key lime pie. Adorned with nothing more than whipped cream from a can and a slice of lime it was nevertheless surprisingly good. 5 stars so far. Normally I give a pass on bad restrooms, especially in a place like this, but in this case, sadly they lost a star. I heard somebody mention the men's room needed attention and 10 minutes later I wanted to use it and found a toilet filled to overflowing, the floor soaked with water and presumably other liquids. Surprisingly no urinal (yes I was in the right room for my gender). So I decided to "hold it" and just washed my hands, getting enough soap from the nearly empty dispenser. A half hour later when I visited again the toilet was fixed and the floor mostly dry but the soap dispenser was completely empty. Isn't that something they would check at the same time they fixed the clog? This wouldn't stop me from coming back, but I sure hope the kitchen staff has access to better facilities!
