    I live 50 miles away but we like to eat at Dickey's when we go to Lake Charles. Yesterday was awful! We ordered a pound of chopped brisket along with 2 sides to go. When I got home and opened the meat, I was shocked at the quality. There was more fat in it than meat and the meat that we could salvage was tough and inedible. I should have just thrown my $44 in the trash. The employee there was so friendly but she had to know she was serving substandard good. If she had just said they were out of brisket, I would have ordered something else. In this economy, where you are charging more for your food, you have to do better. You've lost a customer. ​

    1/2 lb of brisket and  1/2 lb of jalapeño cheddar kielbasa
    Nikki R.

    Dickey's has been a staple for me for well over a year. I bring all of my friends and family here to the point that some of them are burnt out on it (seriously, we eat here that much). I usually eat Dickey's at least once a week because I love the jalapeño cheddar kielbasa. My usual order is 1/2 lb of the jalapeño kielbasa and 1/2 lb of chicken or brisket (whichever I'm in the mood for). I always have leftovers and can spread this out over several meals. The chicken is always moist with a nice flavor, but the last few times I got the brisket, it was so dry that it had the texture of jerky. My boyfriend was in town today, so we stopped by Dickey's after leaving Target to get a to-go order. We ordered a classic chopped brisket sandwich and 1/2 lb of sausage. I should have known something was wrong when the woman asked what I wanted for my two sides. Sometimes the person fixing the sides will assume I want a side with my meat, which I usually decline, but I decided to get one today to give to my boyfriend because he was already saying it wasn't going to be enough food. We got back to my house and opened the boxes and I immediately knew something was wrong with my sausage. I have eaten here so much and been shorted on weight at other restaurants so frequently that I can easily tell when something doesn't weigh what it's supposed to. It came in at 6.25 ounces. We also didn't have a classic sandwich. We had been charged for a 1-meat plate instead of the sandwich (almost double the price, which I guess means we got $5 in sides) and my boyfriend had to eat his dry brisket on the hard rolls, which he wasn't happy about. Honestly, almost 2 ounces is a lot to miss for meat and this is the first time I believe to have been "shorted" at Dickey's, but the decline in quality over the past few months has really rubbed me the wrong way, coupled with the fact that they increasingly sell out of the meats I want, I don't know when I will be back.

    Turkey and coleslaw. $11.50. One meat plate.

    I like Dickeys barbecue. I've been to many different locations. This one was cleaner, newer, nicer than all others. The food was quite good. The turkey was prepared well. I will definitely return here.

    Just stopped for lunch. Food was good but lost appetite half way through sandwich when I noticed black hair on tray. Not mine, I'm 60 yrs old and full grey. Employees should wear hair nets.

    2 meat plate. Sliced brisket pull pork with potato salad and baked beans

    Tonight we decided to grab something to eat at Dickeys BBQ located in Lake Charles Louisiana right down from the Golden Nugget Casino in Lake Charles Louisiana we have eaten at Dickeys BBQ multiple times this is of course my first review for them the food is awesome I would have to say that Ive eating at a couple of barbecue places and I would have to say that Dickey's Barbecue has the best barbecue in town I usually always get the ribs with the mac and cheese and the baked beans the ribs or some of the best ribs I've eaten there really meaty they just fall off the bone My god this stuff is delicious. The barbecue sauce comes in a variety of flavors and is very good. This was awesome choice tonight for dinner. We both got the 2 meat plate with 2 sides and a drink. I decided to get the potato casserole and the jalapeno beans and everything was delicious and my fiance got the sliced brisket, pull pork with potato salad and baked beans. We usually always see the manager when we go in he's usually working right up at the counter smiling and happy as always but we didn't see him tonight. The staff is always wonderful and polite always greeting us with smiles. The place is really nice always clean. There was a nice crowd in there tonight but the device was fast and enjoyable. I think this was one of the best choices we could have made for dinner tonight so if you're ever in Lake Charles Louisiana please go buy Dickies BBQ you won't be disappointed

    Random wood stacked on the wall gives it a nice southern feel

    I came in during what I assume would be mid to end of rush hour, the line was a little long but they got us through pretty quick. I didn't have time to do the whole sigh and roll my eyes thing which is always a plus! We got through the line ordered a Holy Kielbasa, Fancy Pork, Brisket special which came with 2 sides (we chose potatoe casserole and Mac n cheese) a drink and a yeast roll we added another drink and we ended up spending a grand total of $27. Taste - the Holy Kielbasa was very good! I have never had kielbasa so my husband ordered it for me, of course it tastes better with the bbq sauce they give you, the fancy pork was pretty great also I kind of liked the Cole slaw on top of the pulled pork it have it a new level of flavor! The brisket was pretty flavorful and fell apart while I was playing with it with my plastic fork which is awesome! My husband did say it was a tiny bit on the dry side but that was his only complaint for the brisket! The Mac n cheese was really super cheesy and it was pretty generic like Wal-Mart's but it's the South you know some of us like our Mac n cheese peppered some of us like it plain some of us eat it with tonies ( wink wink that's all me ) the potatoe casserole was decent not slap your momma good but not bad at all. Appearance - when you walk in you know it's a bbq pit, I mean there is a giant picture of the parts of a cow in the wall which is so cool! The walls are black which really makes the white writing on the walls pop, its really nearly decorated in there. When you finish looking around and walk up to order you see a gigantic smoker behind the people who are cooking along with a huge fridge of meat tons of meat! The people in there all look genuinely happy to be at work which is weird, unless you know the people who work there are paid well which is awesome for our community and for guests who come in. Cleanliness- this place is ridiculously clean y'all. Even the bathrooms! Overall I was happy with my experience and will probably be going back!

    A little sample of the food they have and they have a great online service as well! I'll definitely be signing up.

    I went there and through the mist of everything that's going on in Lake Charles dickeys was just awesome! Great food great service and super friendly! I'll be ordering memorial weekend food for sure!

    Dry and hard

    I don't know what has happened to Dickey's, but this place was no a good experience. For $16.00 I got 1 slice of brisket, 2 small ribs, 1/2 piece smoked sausage, beans and potato salad. I ordered Jalepeno beans and got sweet Bbq beans. I ordered the baked potato casserole and got manufactured mustard potato salad. The brisket, ribs and even the smoked sausage were so dry. This is a waste of time and money. I have never had Bbq this dry

    Ooweee what amazing treats! First off they had a spread of cooked meat to choose from…read more I had the Fried Ribs, Fried Catfish, and Pepper Jack Egg Rolls. They also had Fresh Made Pork Rinds, no worries one day I'm leaving the pork alone I decided to get the bag of Fresh Pork Rinds. They had frozen meats to go and gumbo to go. We did not grab meat because we still have a whole before we head home, they do have you a frozen bag on sale right next to the freezer and Fridge for your convenience. You should definitely stop by while visiting Louisiana! The Service was quick and easy and the Ambience was casual and comfortable with outdoor seating. Parking Ok, if you fear trucks do not come here

    Since meeting my boyfriend, I've heard nonstop about In-Laws. From day one--right after I mentioned…read moreI went to college in New Orleans--he's been hyping this place up. So after performing at New Orleans Jazz Fest this past weekend, we finally made a stop to see if it lived up to the praise. Pulling up, it honestly looks like a simple gas station pit stop--the kind of place truck drivers frequent (and judging by the steady flow of trucks, that checks out). But stepping inside was a completely different experience. It was clean, open, and surprisingly welcoming. Before even ordering, we found ourselves in the frozen section grabbing items to take home--boudin, deer sausage, gumbo... you name it, they had it stocked and ready. It already felt like one of those hidden gems you're glad someone put you on to. Then came the food. My boyfriend has been talking about their fried ribs for over a year, so of course we had to order them. He also got chicken wings, while I kept it light with Cajun boudin balls and green beans. First bite of the boudin ball? I was pleasantly surprised. Flavorful, slightly doughy, but still really good. But let's get to the star of the show... The fried ribs. As someone who's lived in Texas for over 20 years, I had never even heard of fried ribs. But baby... these were it. Perfectly seasoned all the way through, incredibly tender, and honestly--you could barely even tell they were fried. Just juicy, flavorful, and done right. This review is really just to say: fried ribs are real... and In-Laws does them right. If you're ever driving between Texas and Louisiana--somewhere around Lake Charles or Lafayette--do yourself a favor and stop here. 10/10. Highly recommend.
