    Dickey's supporting the Fire Department
    Betsy O.

    Love this Dickey's! They did a fantastic job on a catering I did for the fire department. They love supporting first responders too! The food was great and the delivery was perfect. They even brought ice for my drinks. Harry is the owner and so great to work with. They are so awesome!

    We went to visit some friends for a social distancing dinner and hang out time. My friend had good experiences ordering from Dickey's in the past and saw that they had a family pack for four people, so since there were four of us we decided to try it out. The meal comes with your choice of meat, two sides, sauce, toppings, and buns. We opted for pulled pork, their Carolina BBQ sauce, macaroni and cheese, and Caesar salad. The food all tasted really good. The pulled pork had a great, smoky flavor on its own and tasted really great with the Carolina sauce. The macaroni and cheese was creamy and yummy, and the Caesar dressing that came with the salad was also good. The buns were small slider style and were soft and good with the pork. Really, our main complaint was that while the meat portion was fairly generous, the side portions were really small for four people. We all had to skimp on our amounts to make sure everyone had enough. It's good for calorie counting and probably more indicative of what an actual serving size should be, but when you have four hungry people that want to enjoy a splurge on takeout the sizes weren't adequate. I still opted to go with four stars because the food was tasty, but it's really standing at more of a 3.5 because I don't feel you get as much value for your money with the portions. I will try them again next time I'm in the area and see how the individual meals are portioned versus the family pack.

    Delicious takeout.

    Easter dinner for one during COVID-19 quarantine. First time in and they gained a new customer. The full menu was available for delivery or takeout. I got the family meal for lots of leftovers during the ensuing week. 1 lb. each of sliced chicken and sliced brisket. Both meats were flavorful and the brisket was wonderfully lean. The service was friendly even in this tense time. Green beans, mashed potatoes, cole slaw and rolls all delicious. Easy access off Colonial Drive in Ocoee. Highly recommended!

    Not sure what this message is saying.

    Ordered 9 ribs with their Carolina sauce on the side. The ribs are really good, but again the sauce was a let down. The ribs are super tender-fall off the bone and good smokey bbq flavor. The fried okra is a must do. I dare suggest even if you aren't a fan of okra. Not gooey at all and good seasonings. The potato salad is in the mustard realm of most dominate "note". Once was enough. $25+ lunch. Their six ribs could have been enough FWIWorth

    Dickey's Barbecue Pit is practicing social distancing under the Covid 19 restrictions. The dining room is closed and they are requesting that you don't use the outdoor seating area. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by an associate preparing food and the manager/owner met me at the door to explain the menu options. The cashier was super friendly and outgoing. There are lots of options and they all looked delicious. I decided to go with a brisket sandwich with beans and potato salad. I loved everything. I especially liked that the potato salad was very cold and that the beans were not gummy. The brisket was moist and tender. I appreciated that it was not over seasoned with salt and the bun was very fresh.

    Okay-ish. We've been on the hunt for a great bbq place and we're still looking. The food is bland without much flavor at all. I want bbq that you can eat with or without sauce but at Dickeys, you need the sauce because the meat is very dry. With a 3 item platter, they give a tiny sauce cup that was barely enough for one piece of meat. I ended up having to use a bottle of bbq that I had in the fridge to make it able to be swallowed. It was that dry. The sides are bland and I had to doctor them up as well. Not worth it. We'll keep looking for a delicious bbq joint in Orlando.

    The last time I came to this restaurant chain was in Nashville and the memories were positive…read more Honestly. This one wasn't the same. It was better. All of the food was delicious and our server was great. I wish there were more restaurants at this price point that delivered at this level.

    I don't understand the hate this place gets online from Orlando locals. We're new to the Orlando…read morearea and have had this on our list of must try spots for some time now. I know there are a few locations but we planned to stop at this location specifically during a last min birthday staycation (but not *on* my brthday) If you look online this routinly is on lists of date night and good group dining spots and there will inevitably be a ton of people in the comments complaining about it being "mid" or "basic" but that wasn't our experience at all. We had a great experience here. We initially booked for the first time of our staycation but called last min to push back a few days as I wasn't feeling very well. It was no issue at all and they changed our reservation without issue or complaints & wished me well. The space is really cool. MCM in design with a touch of California beach bungalow. We were seated in a back room with a view of the lake behind. It was a bit loud but most places are these days. I am deaf in one of my ears so one I told our server & she spoke up over the noise and it was a non-issue. Appreciated because that's not always the case. We ordered a glass of wine and the "Shirley After Dark" cocktail (I know it's a wine bar but I just felt like a cocktail) loved it. Would absolutely order it again. We ordered the house salad which was far from basic and delicious and fresh. Very light and decent size. My husband also aired the Cauliflower app which was massive. The hummus was delicious. I'm not a fan of cauliflower but he raved about it. We also split the Butchers Pizza and had them out the hot honey on the side. I can't do spice after destroying my stomach in college so they brought me a side of normal honey so I could hector full flavor profile within my dietary needs. We got to speaking with our server whose name I unfortunately can't remember (light blonde shoulder length hair if management reads this) & she was very knowledgeable about the wine selection. We're not white wine drinkers but the FL heat is a little too much for a glass of red most days so we're trying to get into it. She had 3 recommendations and brought me all three to taste. Unfortunatly I enjoyed was sold out by the time we ordered it (which at the height of tourist summer isn't beyond the realm of reasonability) We then ordered the affogato and olive oil cake. Both were delicious. It was my husband's first time trying an affogato and it has since become a favorite of his. It was mentioned in passing while chatting that we were in a last min staycation as it was my birthday week and we didn't plan anything in advance and made it clear it was not my birthday but she still comped my cocktail and the olive oil cake and wrote a lighthearted "sorry we were out of the wine" on our receipt. Which was a genuinely nice & unexpected gesture. The entire meal was quite affordable even before anything got comped compared with other options of the same caliber in the area. Portons are quite large as well. While I don't love communal tables typically, almost no one was seated at the same table and if they were it was quite far apart (see photos). I can see that being bothersome on a busy night but we were there on a summer night (busy enough to run out of a wine) so I can't imagine it being typically worse than that So I say again, I don't understand what people don't like about this place. We'll be back.

Me and a few friends met for lunch the World Cup on multiple TV's as we sat talked and had a great meal. The ambience was friendly,clean, and perfect. Based on the Staff recommendations we had the Blue Cheese, brisket, and Bacon Burgers. We also got the burger loaded fries and some wings with the Brave sauce. Everything was fantastic the Brisket & Bacon burger were the stand outs, fries were really good however (and this is why it's a 4 not a 5), the fries were supposed to be the star. They were beef tallow fries and I may have let my expectations get too high. I had some fries aka chips in England at the Borough Market, they were fried in the beef grease from the hamburgers that were made daily. Best fries I've ever had in my life. These were good fries, but not what I hoped for. Go in expecting good fries, but that's all they are. Overall this was amazing with really great burgers and we will be back again!!

    This reads less like a sincere tribute to Native American history and more like a marketing…read moredepartment's fantasy of what Native American history looks like. The opening paragraph is historically simplistic to the point of being misleading. Thousands of years of Indigenous history across two continents are compressed into a cartoon narrative about tribes "taking over" America and earning their place through bravery. Entire civilizations, languages, governments, trade networks, spiritual traditions, agricultural innovations, and cultural achievements are reduced to a generic story about warriors and conquest. The text repeatedly treats hundreds of distinct Indigenous nations as if they were a single culture with a shared identity and experience. The Apaches, Cherokees, Navajos, Cheyennes, and countless others are mentioned almost as decorative references before being blended into one vague idea of "the Indian." Modern scholarship, Indigenous historians, and Native communities themselves have spent decades pushing back against exactly this kind of flattening of Native identity. The deeper problem is that Native Americans appear to function here primarily as a branding tool. Indigenous peoples are introduced, their history is briefly summarized, and then the narrative immediately pivots to selling hamburgers. The text essentially argues that because Native Americans were brave, a burger restaurant can inherit that "warrior spirit" and use it as a brand identity. That connection is so weak that it borders on absurd. The repeated use of terms like "warrior spirit," "warrior cooks," and "bravery" relies on some of the oldest and most overused stereotypes applied to Native Americans. It presents Indigenous peoples primarily as warriors, hunters, and tribal figures rather than as diverse, living communities with rich and evolving cultures. While courage and resilience are certainly part of many Indigenous histories, reducing entire peoples to warrior symbolism is not respect--it is stereotype. What makes this especially concerning is that there appears to be no meaningful connection between the brand and Native communities. Is the business Native-owned? Does it partner with Native organizations? Does it support Indigenous causes? Were Native people consulted in developing the brand? Is there any authentic Indigenous influence on the menu, recipes, sourcing, or business mission? The text offers no indication of any such relationship. Instead, it appears to borrow Indigenous identity, imagery, and symbolism while giving little back to the people whose cultures it claims to celebrate. As a result, the branding can feel less like appreciation and more like appropriation. Native American history becomes a backdrop, an aesthetic, and a source of marketing language rather than something treated with care, accuracy, or depth. The story invokes Indigenous peoples not to educate customers about them, but to create an atmosphere of toughness, adventure, and authenticity around a burger. From a branding perspective, the concept is surprisingly self-defeating. The story spends so much time romanticizing a vague and stereotypical version of Native American history that it never establishes a convincing reason why any of this relates to hamburgers in the first place. The connection feels forced, contrived, and ultimately unbelievable. Rather than strengthening the brand, it raises questions about why Indigenous identity was chosen as the foundation of the business at all. If the goal was to honor Native Americans, the brand should begin with historical accuracy, specificity, genuine relationships, and respect for the diversity of Indigenous cultures. Instead, it presents a romanticized and commercialized version of Native history that exists primarily to make a hamburger sound more exciting. Ultimately, the most difficult question this brand story fails to answer is also the most important one: Why are Native Americans central to the identity of this restaurant? If the answer is simply that concepts like bravery, warriors, and tribal imagery make for compelling marketing, then the brand is not truly celebrating Indigenous cultures--it is using them. That distinction matters, and it is why many readers may find this narrative not only historically questionable, but deeply inappropriate as the foundation of a modern business.
