This may be the worst Dickey's experience ever! Brisket- dry, buns-hard, coleslaw topper? Nope. Unless you love watery, then it's all yours. Tea? Perfect for a diabetic coma. Just blech read more

Just picked up my order (2) 2meat plates with 2 sides each let's just say both combined is (1) 2meat plate. I've supported this business for years and will now have to cut them from my rotation. read more

This was an order I placed on DoorDash. I ordered ribs with sweet barbecue sauce and the okra and beans. They didn't put any sauce in the order so they were dry and lacked flavor. When I called to get help they basically told me "it happens with DoorDash orders". One would think if that's true they'd be extra sure to check the order before it goes out. Terrible customer service and no offer to make it right. The ribs were dry, the okra was oversalted and the green beans with bacon had no bacon in them and were waaaaaaaay too peppery (and I like pepper a lot). Spend your money with someone who cares. After leaving the review I got this message from Yelp. Looks like the negative reviews are the only ones you can trust. They are apparently writing their own "positive" reviews. That says it all. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Message from Yelp - Barbeque Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

Compared to the BBQ establishment I went on Friday, Dickey's BBQ pit was a different level. There was nothing wrong with the food but it did not knock my socks off. I had the pulled pork sandwich meal which comes with a side. The sandwich was okay--and with their BbQ sauce it was better but just average. Likewise my side of potato salad was average---nothing wrong but it's not anything I said to myself that I need to return for their pulled pork sandwich or their potato salad. On the other hand I was on the road when I visited Dickeys and their service---both the nice lady who took my order and the young man who processed my order were polite and friendly---plus they got out my order fast so that's a plus. Also, Dickeys says you can have free ice cream---there's a soft serve ice cream machine--and but for I was on the road , I would have sample that. The dining room was clean and quiet but this was before noon Sunday so there's nothing wrong with the ambiance and indoor dining. read more

The only positive is the food was good. Service was terrible. My sandwich was missing toppings and I was told someone else would get them for me so I hate to wait again. Flies EVERYWHERE. Dirty tables, employee sitting ON the COUNTER by the drinks. I had to squeeze past him twice to go to and from the bathroom...he never budged... Looking at his phone. Customers seemed to be an inconvenience. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Dirty tables. Only see one employee and he's sitting on the counter on his phone. - Barbeque Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

See all

I'm a huge BBQ fan and Dickey's may have suffered the night of my visit. You see I was full from breakfast and lunch but still managed to take advantage of their Wednesday special, tacos. I went with chicken, and it was as juicy as if my Uncle Ray had spent 8 hours smoking it on his carport. The best part.............. free self-serve soft ice cream. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Chicken Tacos - Barbeque Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

I know that there are many more BBQ spots here in Mississippi, but none that come close to Dickies in the Meridian area. I have yet to taste another BBQ sauce that compares to Dickies. The thing about the sauces... I normally (regardless of geographical location) prefer spicy BBQ sauces, but only at this place do I prefer the original flavor. It's so good!!! It had a kick that makes you forget you need spice. The best part I think is that the amount of sauce is left up to you to determine. It's an awesome concept that other establishments should consider. They make it fresh every batch so even though it's a different batch the flavor might change, but so far it's been unnoticeable. Really good still! The variety of meats are perfect! The sides??? Holy crap! Yeah so in all my life of eating BBQ I've never seen the side of Baked potato casserole. Well Dickies has it and it's the best potato ever!!! It's pretty much mashed potatoes but it has a unique and amazing taste, that you know it's not mashed potatoes. Really good! Now, the Jalapeño Beans. They taste like BBQ Baked Beans only they have Been cooked with jalapeños! Do I like these? Um yes!!! I asked the meat server (they have stations for entree, sides, and register) which is better and she said I eat the jalapeño beans everyday... And she was this cute white woman. I'm yes please. Make my side some jalapeño beans!!! All day. So I know Mississippi is known for their sweet tea. I also know that Mississippi is this worst health state on the United States and I'm starting to believe this sweet tea is the freaking cause. It's so sweet, but so good!! Oh they have free soft serve ice cream too. What???!!!! Again, worst health status is Mississippi, but they sure do know how to eat. I think, I didn't see it myself, but I heard they have a drive-thru???!!! Crazy!!! The only negative thing I have to say is that the location and setup make it seem like a chain/franchise restaurant, when the quality of the food states otherwise. read more

Horrific take out. Do not order from this location in my opinion. Slow. Cold. Small portions. Missing utensils. The food was delivered way under proper temperature. A significant intestinal disease may waiting for you here. read more

Was pretty fast service in the drive thru. For was pretty good. Hopefully they will have the dinning area open again soon.

Delicious BBQ! The food was reasonably priced, the line cook was helpful, and the cashier looked scrumptious. My sister and I both had the big BBQ pulled pork sandwich, with a buttered bun and spicy BBQ sauce. The meat was flavorful and tender. I had the baked potato casserole (which was basically mashed potatoes on crack) and the green beans with bacon (though I found no bacon); and she had the baked beans (with pulled pork) and the cole slaw (which could have been better). The sweet tea required a refill and they have free ice cream! We didn't leave room and had to pass on that. The only downside was an army of flies that tried to get our food. They failed. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - a chicken sandwich, pickles, and a side of pickles - Barbeque Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

Disappointing visit! We were traveling to Meridian from another state and had a taste for some authentic barbecue. We ordered two pulled pork plates with onion tanglers, baked beans and fries. The sandwiches had no smoke flavor at all and had the taste of a pork roast cooked in a crock pot. No flavor whatsoever! The onion tanglers were very salty, the beans very average like they came directly from the can. The only positive thing was the customer service. The young men behind the counter were patient and friendly. That is why I give Dickey's two stars. Please do not advertise "pit" barbecue if your product is not that. We felt as though we wasted nearly $30 on a below average dining experience. I hope my honest review will be used as constructive in your future business practices. read more

My BBQ sauce smelt like lighter fluid. It was so strong I almost fell out of my chair. The pork was so dry it may as well have been pork jerky. But man the sauce was terrible. I could have sworn I was being poisoned. Not to mentioned being sick for 2 days after eating it. My child enjoyed her kids plate. But that doesn't say much. She eats anything. Somebody needs to check in on the sauce. It was ordered on 12/17/18. They may have confused vinegar with lighter fluid. It was so bad. Very Very Strong. read more

Placed a 124 dollar doordash order. They didn't have it so they didn't send it or replace it or ask if you would something else. Didn't realize they closed at 9 so they rushed sent what they could and said oh well. Very poor way of handling my order. Never ever again. Completely disgusting the way I was handled. read more

I went there after I bailed on Chick Fil a. The customer service was good. I had the pork sandwich. It was delicious with a generous portion. The bathroom was clean and I was in and out for a to go order in less than 4 minutes. read more

Road trippin to Texas we stopped here to eat bbq! It was sooooo good! Adam was so nice, helping us figure out what to eat - we chose brisket, chicken, and ribs! Yummy! Katelyn was lit with helping us choose our sides! We ended up with potato salad, cabbage slaw, and the creamy spinach dip! Tayler came through at the end with the rolls! Such a good stop to our long road trip! Hope to stop by on the way back. Shouts to Big Krit and the Meridian, MS family! read more

These people who work here are total morons. After going through the line twice because they ignored me the first time they still got my order wrong. When I complained the person in charge insisted I'd ordered incorrectly. All I can say is that I've been to Dickies all over the country and this has to be the most poorly staffed, most poorly operated, and most poorly managed Dickies in the entire country!! read more

I ordered a two meat plate, Jalapeño Sausage and Beef Brisket. The meat was cold and had very little flavor. The rolls we hard and burnt on the bottom. The okra was good but the portion size was a 1/4 of what you get from other Dickey's restaurants. The ice cream, just stay away from it unless you like soup cream. The bathrooms are what I would expect to find in a dive bar. The staff was friendly with the exception of the man cutting the meat. Find another restaurant to eat at. read more

Stopped by otw to the in laws, they were out of the menu item we ordered (smoked turkey ) and of all things bread?? Also we weren't able to get fries because they turned off the fryer in anticipation of closing in an hour. We were going to cancel our order and head to the Chili's next door, but didn't . That was a mistake! Staff was smoking and joking on the haphazardly placed tables directly in front of the restaurant, once called inside were loud and oblivious of the customers trying to eat with their families. I heard this was a franchise, its sad that the owner entrusted his investment to folks that lacked the basic professionalism to run it. Hope he realizes his mistake and adjusts his team accordingly. read more

Overall, not really satisfied. not the worst, but def not the best. Flat iron fries and onion tangles were WAY too salty. brisket was too fatty. chicken was very dry the pork was ok, as well as the sausage. mashed potato casserole was not good either. the BBQ beans were only OK. read more

Had the 3 meat platter. Asked for Turkey breast, Jalapeño-Cheddar sausage, and pulled pork. Sides were coleslaw and baked beans. Pulled pork was dry and in chunks, sausage was greasy and was very mushy, and the turkey was good. Baked beans had no flavor, and coleslaw, well it's kinda hard to screw up coleslaw. Sweet tea was hardly sweet, at first I thought I'd gotten unsweetened. WORST part of my 25 minute experience was trying to keep the flies off of me and my food. Constantly was swatting at them. For $16 I WON'T be back! read more

The bbq was very delicious. Sauces are on the side original, sweet & spicy. The thing that impressed me the most about this place was everyone who walked in the door was greeted with a smile & a genuine hello! When leaving, the employees thanked everyone for eating there in a personal kind of way, with sincerity. read more

Where do I begin? Open sign wasn't on, so we had to spend our first moments wondering if we could eat here. Walk in to "I'll be with you in a second!" ...4 minutes. Ordered what we wanted, got to the register, had to ask four times for one bun. My dad was given waffle fries and asked for onion rings. When he asked for the right thing, the woman behind the counter said "well I asked you which one and you said fries." Excuse you? Just fix it. Out of three people involved in that verbal exchange, she was the only rude one. Newsflash: we're here making your paycheck possible. The girl at the register was apparently multitasking in cashier/food prep positions, as she went straight from handling money to putting onion rings down to fry with NO HAIRNET, NO GLOVES. The woman in the dining room went straight from doing a terrible cleaning job (the entire interior of the restaurant was disgusting, fly ridden, etc) to refreshing the sweet teas with sugar... With no gloves, no hand washing, and a cup she handled with bare hands and threw right back into the bucket. I've worked in restaurant business and had a health inspector been in that restaurant, things would've been a lot worse for them than a Yelp review. read more

This is the worst establishment I have been to. Not only are the workers completely ignorant and lazy, but I ordered a Mac Stack and picked it up in the drive thru. After leaving I opened the box and instead of a Mac Stack, there were 10 rolls and no brisket inside. Very disappointed! read more

This was the worst food ever. And I love Dickeys!! The staff was very friendly and carried on great conversation . I tried the brisket sandwich which was very disappointing, The brisket was very dry and not well seasoned .i don't think I will try it on the road again. read more

First time going to a Dickey's BBQ. I would say it was mediocre BBQ. I got the 3 meat platter (chicken breast, ribs, and jalapeno sausage). I thought the chicken was dry and kinda tasted like something you get in one of those Oscar Meyer smoked chicken packs. There were only 2 ribs and they were also kinda dry. I thought the sausage was the best of the three meats, but the cheese was not fully melted and was semi cold. Like I said it was mediocre. My sides were baked beans which were also mediocre and okra which was nice and fresh, but only because they had to cook it and bring it to the table. The rolls are Sister Schubert rolls from the store. Now after knocking them, I did like their BBQ sauce, especially the spicy one and I thought it was neat that they had soft serve ice cream cones to go as you walked out the door. read more

Some of the best bbq we've had anywhere. What a surprise. Can't always go by appearances. Will go back next time we're through here.

The food is average BBQ. The prices are way over the top. Honestly, the best things here are; 1. Kids eat free Sundays...2. "Free" vanilla ice cream...3. Big yellow plastic cup you can take home and use. read more

Expensive. This place charges twice what most BBQ joints do and the food is half as good. The meats are dry and the sauces are runny.

Not impressed with Dickey's. I love barbecue chicken. They only have chicken breast. No pulled chicken or chicken on the bone. At 7:30 on a Monday they were already out of chicken so I did not get to try. I ordered the pulled pork, potato salad and beans. The pork was not hot at all, about room temperature. The bun that came with the meal was warmer than the pork. The pork tasted ok, but nothing special. The beans were half beans and half pulled pork. It looked like a lot of the fatty pork pieces were added to the beans. The potato salad was like mashed potatoes with chucks of potatoes. Probably the worst potato salad I ever had. The sauce was very watery and bland. I prefer a thicker sauce with some kick. Overall, not impressed and will not go back. read more

I had the smoked turkey, husband had the chicken breast, both with 2 sides. Mine was to be a baked potato but it was soooo over cooked, it was dark brown. 2nd one wasn't any better. I opted for mac/cheese, also over cooked. Husband had the mashed potatoes which were also brownish from being over heated. Cole slaw was okay for us both. The turkey and chicken were very good though. The drinks were made with water that seriously needed to be filtered. We've eaten at many Dickies and each is different from each other. This one wasn't very good.... read more

I have always been pleased with my food from this resturant. I had take out today and it was just as good when i have eaten in.

Staff sucks! They acted like they didn't care that customers were in the building. Will not be back.

Food was descent; however, after traveling all day could not really enjoy the meal with all of the flies buzzing around the establishment and your face. Could not really tell if they were open and when I opened the door there were no patrons. For a well known chain nationwide this franchise could use a serious upgrade. Meat plate was warm at best not hot/fresh off the rack as others. Very disappointed. read more

Friendly staff. Decent BBQ. After a long drive from Montgomery, this was a welcome stop. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - the dining area - Barbeque Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

1st time at this location : meridian ,miss. In April 2016, for dinner , ordered barbecue pork , mac & cheese , and fried okra. Place was very dirty and had some hard pieces in the barbecue pork. The staff was not so friendly either , and didn't look interested in working. Also bad problem with the flies, dirty floors, lots of tables with trash left on them and the floor. Disgusting flying bugs when trying to eat. Gross ! Ps. Very old table covers with holes, old tables & chairs & floors , needs update & big cleaning. Thought maybe they fixed it or changed ?? Second chances ... 2nd time : Walked in today, Nov. 5 , dinner time. Same problem with many flies , walked out , didn't order. read more

For what it is, we really enjoyed it. We both got a 2 meat combo plate. The brisket was pretty darn good, just don't tell my Texan brother in law that :). The pulled pork was just right! The staff was friendly and joking around. It was a nice stop on the first night of a long trip! read more

This place is good. The meat is tender and the BBQ sauce is delicious! Apparently, it's fashioned after Texas style BBQ, but not sure if I can tell the difference. Free soft serve when done with your meal! read more

Go with either the brisket or the cheese stuffed smoked sausage!

Food is good enough, but the staff don't seem real interested in the customers experience. You have to ask very specific questions to make sure you are getting what you want. read more

We all had the pulled pork and it was very good and tender. Sauces are served warm and on the side. Waffle fries are yummy. Slaw and mac and cheese are average. Clean, friendly staff, real souvenir cups you can take home, and a free vanilla ice cream cone when you're all done. I'd come back :-) read more
