We were greeted with the most friendly faces and felt immediately welcomed. Jenn was so helpful and went above & beyond to make our lunch as enjoyable as possible. Andee & Liv were also behind the counter & made a point to make sure we had awesome customer service. The food was delicious & the service was outstanding! We will be returning, thank you ladies for going above & beyond! read more

The service was good. The food was not great. We had smoked chicken breast and smoked brisket. The chicken was dried out and stringy. The brisket was just ok but was less than the 1/2 lb we ordered and paid for. The baked beans & green beans were from a can and nothing special. We will not return. read more

Let me start with something great. The blonde haired woman behind the counter was so sweet and helpful. Now for the rest of the review. The restaurant was completely empty. The food was for carryout. Pulled pork sandwiches were bland and dry. Buns weren't fresh. Coleslaw was about 4 tablespoons in a cup with 3.00+ upcharge. Fries were greasy and tasteless. Green beans had to have been dumped from a can and never looked at again. No seasoning, no butter. The sodas were large and the ice maker makes pellet ice which we love. The ice cream machine was still broken from years ago and the meal was just short of 35.00 (I gave them a 5.00 tip even though I picked up the food and made my own sodas. I called to say the food was really lacking in every way and the said they were sorry but never offered to fix anything. We used to LOVE that place but I guarantee we will never go back there again. What a waste of time and money. Yuck! read more

I spent enough time in the Energy industry in Houston Texas to know really good Barbecue. Dickey's in Mechanicsburg PA is among the best you'll find in this area (of course they have TX roots). I had the most moist brisket there, on par with anything I've had in TX. Damien and Jen served us the other day and they were phenomenal! Friendly, helpful, kind! One comment for the Dickey's HQ people: BRING BACK THE ONION TANGLERS!! read more

The staff in this location are so friendly and polite. Ordered a chicken breast -- it was cooked perfectly and delicious -- very tender!

The young lady that helped me today.She made my lunch to perfection.Her name is Tyra. She was a very pleasant young lady and I would go back anytime to this establishment to eat.Just because of the way she handled herself in business read more

Ordered 3 brisket sandwiches and 2 pulled pork sliders, mashed potatoes and 2 drinks and cornbread. The only thing that was correct was the mashed potatoes. No sauce was provided on the side which lead to brisket so dry that it was inedible. The sandwich maker was correct that the brisket was "new" since she was taking it directly from a plastic bag to make the sandwiches. I was told that they were out of gravy and had a conversation about the Carolina sauce which I requested on the side. No sauce made it to the bag. No cornbread was available which I had paid for in my app order. The lemonade was also not provided. $45 for Father's Day lunch which was a complete waste of time and money. The girl at the register literally has one job. Called the restaurant and was told I could come back for the missing sauce. Not worth it to waste an hour on Father's Day. Pricey as Mission BBQ but not worth the money or a return visit. Wasn't even offered a refund or coupon. read more

Not only was the food amazing but Tyra was super nice & made the experience 10 times better!

First time lunch. Food was great, owner awesome and price very fair! Had loaded potato and could only eat half. Owner recomended bbq sause and it was great. Husband had platter and enjoyed it all. Will go back for sure. read more

I work in the area in manufacturing sometimes and this is always my go to for feeding my coworkers. The food is always super quick and fresh, and you literally can't get a bad thing. Even the fries make it still fresh. I love all the options, something for everyone, and overall an easy meal when you're feeding a big group. read more

My husband I have been to this restaurant several times over the years. We're two homesick Texans that moved to PA about 7 years ago and this is the CLOSEST to Texas BBQ you're going to get in the state of PA (much less, perhaps, the ENTIRE East Coast). We come for the brisket, okra, and jalepeno cheese smoked sausage. We appreciate that Dickey's doesn't serve the brisket pre-sauced. They leave that up to the customer as opposed to ALL of their competitors (in Pennsylvania) which do the OPPOSITE and heap on tons of sickenly sweet BBQ sauce on theirs. There is a saying in Texas that the sign of a BAD pit master is slapping BBQ sauce on everything and calling it BBQ. THOSE places are hiding something. Not Dickey's. The brisket can stand on its own. And the fact that they serve up fried okra proves it's legit. However, the reason for this review is to give mad props for the staff that waited on us today (Mother's Day), with huge props to Jenn. We came in and placed our usual order and Jenn offered both my husband and I each a free cookie for Mother's Day. She was so kind and personable. She made sure we recieved top notch service and our meals were PERFECT. So thanks to Jenn and the rest of the staff that worked today! We didn't feel so homesick after our visit. Thanks for the southern hospitality! We miss that the most. read more

Well worth a short drive off south of 81 to cure your barbecue craving. Very friendly establishment that personally ensures that you don't go hungry. A small local business the way barbecue is meant to be! Five Yelp Stars! FYI - Walmart parking across the street from establishment for large commercial vehicle parking. read more

If I could give it negative stars, I would. The meat was dry (brisket and chicken) and the pork ribs weren't only dry, but the meat was no existent on it. I also ordered curbside, and after waiting 25 mins in the take out spot and watching one of the dickeys employees just hanging out outside on a bench with the subway girl for 15 of those minutes.. I decided to go in and make sure I wasn't supposed to just pick it up inside. I walked in and my ordered hadn't even been started yet, which was not due to being busy. I guess they just "missed" it. Though, the employee not flirting with the subway girl was just hanging out inside the store as if there were no orders to prepare. This was our first Dickeys experience and will certainly be our last. Good Luck with that franchise, "the McDonalds of BBQ". read more

My boyfriend and I visited this gem today. We had never been there before. The food was amazing! We were already thinking of going again as soon as we took our firsts bites. I got hot buffalo wings with mac and cheese and he got a pulled pork sandwich as well as a loaded baked potato. I have never liked barbecue. But I ate some of his meal and I loved it, and plan on ordering the most pulled pork sandwich in the future. They are doing everything right at this restaurant. The restaurant was very clean. The staff were amazing, they checked on us at least three times, gave us free ice cream, and gave us multiple menu recommendations as we had never been there before. We will definitely put this into our regular restaurant rotation. read more

Love Dickies in Camp Hill. Not been to this location yet. Good is very good. I would definitely recommend going there. Good flavor!!

The customer service was good! I ordered the 3 meat plate with 2 sides and bread. I got chicken breast, brisket, and ribs. I understand breast isn't the juiciest part of the bird, but the chicken was unbelievably dry. No amount of sauce could save it. The brisket and the ribs were tasty. I also enjoyed my beans and mac. Also the spicy bbq sauce I got was possibly the best sauce I've ever tasted. I wish I got two of them! The bread may as well have been a frisbee lol Overall, I would definitely visit again, but no chicken breast for me. :) read more

Always love the food, the smell, taste. Service was great as well. Need more and definitely closer to me

Website wouldn't let us place our order because there were no designated pick up times available, so we had to call it in. Something must have gotten lost in the translation because when we brought the order home, our sandwiches had no sauce. We ended up with a pit dip minus the dip and a dry pulled pork sandwich without the Carolina BBQ sauce I had requested. Sometimes meat can be tasty enough to be good without sauce, but this wasn't one of those times. The sauceless pork had little to no smoke flavor. The fried okra was kind of bland as well and could have used some kind of dipping sauce. Wings and pecan pie were decent, but that's about it. Disappointing. read more

This is my second Dickey's experience and I returned semi-begrudgingly, as my first experience wasn't that great. I ordered the polish kielbasa, a Caesar salad, and a sprite. My husband got the brisket, mac and cheese and sweet tea. The customer service was fantastic and my food wasn't bad. My husband's brisket was okay, but I much prefer Mission BBQ to Dickey's. I would return again but it wouldn't be my first choice for barbecue. read more

Had great BBQ. Pulled pork, ribs, kielbasa. So many good sides for the meals. From slaw and potato salad to onion tanglers and mac and cheese. Will return. But wait ... there's more. The management staff at this Dickey's was so helpful and friendly. It was truly the best dining interaction I have had in years. They explained the offerings and specials. They gave us coupons for future visits. There's even free ice cream. I had never been to any Dickey's before. Recently many places are short on staff as well as the food items. I think I was so amazed because they had the food available and the service was outstanding. I will likely become a regular customer. read more

Meats were good but brisket was not worth $8\# more than the pork. Beans and slaw were ok but rather generic. Spicy bbq sauce was basically the regular sauce with lots of red pepper flakes. Wouldn't get that again but all in all a satisfying meal. read more

Make yourself a soft-served cone while you're waiting! This was unexpected! We heard about this place but had never been. The bbq is stellar and the friendly staff went out of their way to explain us about the menu and specials. We were warned about a 'line' but today, there was none. Everyone's food is prepared to order. The meat is ready, but not prepackaged, this is what's usually causing a hold-up and a line. Call ahead if you're in a hurry, call ahead. read more

I've been itching to try out this BBQ joint for a while and today I finally got my wish. I ordered the 1 Meat Plate (pulled pork) with Fried Okra and Baked Potato Casserole as sides. My son got his Sunday kids meal for free which made me a very happy camper. I mean a Beef Brisket Hoagie with Waffle Iron Fries + Drink for free -- that's a great value. Imagine if I had 4 kids! I picked spicy BBQ sauce and he picked sweet BBQ sauce. I loved the spicy sauce -- just the right heat and the right kick. This was also the first time ever that I tried fried okra. The texture that it added to the meat was, quoting another reviewer, "out of this world", reminding me of trying out the New Orleans Gumbo for the first time. Oh, here's icing on the cake: everyone got to help himself with a free soft serve ice cream!! One word of caution: I came in at off-peak hour (2:45 pm on a Saturday). I had just one person in front of me. But quickly as I went though with my order, the line suddenly piled up. The assembly line could break down if just one side dish (in this case, my son's Waffle Iron Fries) is in shortage. I could easily imagine how the order line could go out of control during peak hours. Anyways, I must say we had a fun meal. I felt this place served justice for my living in this geographic region! 5 stars hands down! read more

Tried this Dickey's location after new ownership and management. Ambiance: Looks the same like before the new management took over. There were no flies flying around like before. It might be due to the cold weather. Food: Same as the other Dickey's locations except this location has fried sides and soft serve ice cream. Service: We went into the restaurant and were not greeted at all. We saw a male Hispanic with 2 braided ponytails employee at the counter of the Order line. He looked at us and then ignored us completely. There were no customers in front of us or behind us. We stood there for over 5 minutes and there were 3 employees at the counter and no one asked what we wanted to order. I noticed the Hispanic guy greeted everyone else who arrived after us. He finally had to acknowledged us because he saw a long line was forming behind us. But then he quickly walked away. Someone else had to take our order to get the line moving. In other words, I think they would have kept ignoring us and kept us waiting if there were no line waiting after us. The saving grace was the manager who was the only friendly and courteous person working there. The rude and poor service made this restaurant visit an unpleasant experience. The food was not memorable since the bad service overshadowed the food. The Dickey's in Camp Hill is definitely much better for ambiance, food and service. read more

My dad had a heart transplant yesterday and is NOT doing well. My mom is caring for him at the hospital, but just got out of the hospital for the third time herself 2 weeks ago with hiatal hernia surgery and can barely eat. She has lost 30 lbs in the last month.I live 6 states away, so I ordered Dickeye's for my mom on GrubHub. TWO different drivers SAID they delivered her food but didn't. She is starving! I called the Dickey's at 2525 Wycliff in Dallas. The General Manager, Mercedes Washington personally delivered her food to the hospital for her! I offered to Venmo her $ for her kindness, but she refused. I will love her forever. (And hate GrubHub forever!) read more

Let's be honest. Dickeys was never the best when it came to bbq but it offered a quick casual fix. Oh how this location has fallen though. From closing early, to constantly being told they are out of items, the McDonalds might be a better place for getting good food. With a little good service this place might be able to shine again but for now I have to give it a hard pass. There are better bbq places out there. read more

Did not disappoint. My son loved the loaded mashed potatoes. The brisket was pretty good.

4 stars cause this is a good BBQ joint and there arent many on the west shore. We went for a sunday lunch. Kids eat free which is a major plus. Their menu is quite extensive and they have a pretty well thought out selection of sides. The prices are reasonable for the portions. I ordered the 2 meats. It came with two sides, a dinner roll, raw onions and pickles. I took a box home that was enough food for the husband and I to dine with later on. The service: It was good. They greet you upon entering. You make an order, you can see them cook it up and serve it and then you pay. Every employee acknowledged patrons. What was cool: They offer three warm bbq sauces (spicy, original, sweet) and soft serve ice cream in the back for free. Their soft drinks are served In cool reusable and personalizable cups which I thought was nifty. Overall: I haven't seen any bbq joints around the silver springs and hampden township areas. So this will definatley be my go to bbq. Not that I will sing praises in its name since I have had better at a non chain establishment. I still think that it's a nice option for this part of town. The cons: The only draw backs I saw was that it has very limited seating, also they cook their meats in a wood pit once a day, so when they sell out, that's it. Also, my brisket was not hot, but warm. Still the flavor was good, so it was forgiven. read more

I hate to give the place a bad rep, but everyone there seemed so inexperienced, and that was hands down the worst pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. The Mac and cheese was ok but nothing special, and the potato salad was more like mashed potato salad. I was very disappointed especially since there are so many better BBQ places in the area. I won't be back. read more

This place is a family favorite for sure! With 8 people in our family it's always a hassle ordering food, but they take time with me to make sure we have everything we need and make suggestions to make it easier. They are the best. And are great with the kids!! We LOVE DICKEYS!!! read more

Wow. Got to say this was some good BBQ. Had the pulled pork picnic meal. The texture and tast was really good. For a corperate company This is a real southern roadside BBQ experience. Its a small store with few seats. But the food... man. Really good BBQ. This place is child friendly. Sunday is free kids meals. They cater and the prices are good. The amount of food is a lot. The staff was super friendly and assisted when we asked. Definitely stop in, if your in the area. Impressed! read more

I now hate this place. I hate the new prices, I hate that they're always out of key items, I hate the staff. I'm starving but I couldn't bring myself to eat dinner. I cannot justify paying over $13/lb for just kielbasa I can buy for half that price across the parking lot. I'll just sit and watch my family eat. I'm finished. Never again. I just heard the guy behind the counter rattle off about half a dozen items they're out of to the guy that just came in. Someone needs to build a Mission BBQ on this shore. I'll gladly invest. P.S. My daughter confirmed my assumption. The kielbasa she had was dry and leathery. What a rip. This is a mere shadow of the Dickies that originally opened in this spot. read more

Great tasting BBQ! Had the Beef Brisket & Chicken breast both tasted great! Free Ice cream too! read more

I ordered about $80 worth of food. When I went to pick up my order, the place was dark inside, open sign off and when I called no one answered. About an hour later, after they were now closed, I received a call that my food was ready. I explained what had happened, I was told they would refund my card the following day. I still have yet to receive a call back. I have called several times and am told every time I must speak to the owner, who is either never in or unable to take my phone call. Very unhappy! read more

At 1205 today, I called in a full rack of ribs. I was told by a young lady that was being rude, they were no longer taking orders because they were busy. This is yet another reason I stop placing orders at this location and started going to the capital city location. I spoke to Andy as well who didn't help the situation. read more

Not a bad deal. The daily specials are a plus, the fries are good but I wasn't too impressed with the beans. Souvenir cups are a nice touch as well. read more

Excellent customer service! We decided to do a large online order, kind of late in the evening. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with friendly smiles and excellent customer service! Our order was ready on time, done correctly, bagged neatly, and delivered to the counter with service we've never experienced at any other location!!! We are very pleased with our overall experience this evening! We will certainly be back to visit this location again! Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

I have been eating at the location regularly for the past 2 months. I really enjoy eating lunch or dinner at this location. The owner has been working onsite a couple of times. He seems like a very nice man that really cares about his business and keeping his customers happy and coming back for more good food. All the employees I have dealt with have been very customer oriented as well. The restaurant is clean and comfortable even though it is a smaller dining room than most of the other locations I have visited. Unfortunately as with every business, the supply chain is causing shortages that no one is happy about. So please don't take it out on the owner or staff. The owner and employees couldn't apologize enough for certain items not being available. I understand and just make the best of it. I do appreciate the apologies and I am sure others do as well. I do feel badly for the way people are treating the employees that have no control over the supply issues. It really isn't fair. Back to the point. If you like barbecue and are looking to support a locally owned business I highly recommend a visit to this location. Enjoy. read more

Missing items in order. No dinner rolls even when ordered as a special item. No Carolina sauce despite two separate requests in the order. No cornbread despite side selection. Disappointing. read more

Upon walking in there was only one couple sitting down eating. I went up to order and I waited 10 min before someone took my order. I could see in the back that their were two guys just hanging out talking. I asked the guy at the counter when I would be waited on and he said in a just a minute I have to do something. This place is disgusting. The floor has trash everywhere and my feet kept sticking to the floor. I will def be taking the drive to Lancaster from now on to eat at the Dickies there. I would not recommend this place at all read more
