    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.

    Stopped at Uncle Tony's Backyard BBQ, and for $16, and great service this might be one of the best…read moreBBQ deals in Orlando. I ordered the 1 lb. Rib Nuggets with the house Sweet BBQ Sauce, a side of mac & cheese, cornbread, and a Coke. Let me start with that sauce... it's the bomb. Seriously, I could drink it through a straw. It's so good that I found myself dipping every single bite into it. The rib nuggets were tender and flavorful. Every bite somehow tasted even better than the last. The cornbread was incredibly moist and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. The mac & cheese was good, but I'll admit I'm a little biased. My old lady makes an incredible macaroni pie, and since I don't get it nearly as often as I'd like, she's set the bar pretty high for my belly. That's a tough standard for any restaurant to beat. Two complaints... First, the "moist" towelette they gave me after I demolished my food was anything but moist. That thing was drier than an 80-year-old woman's taco in the middle of the coldest night in Alaska. I think it actually absorbed moisture from my hands. Second, after a meal that good, I have one question for corporate America: What exactly do you expect me to accomplish this afternoon? Between the rib nuggets, mac & cheese, cornbread, and that Sweet BBQ sauce, I was one recliner away from a full-blown food coma. Pro tip: Order extra Sweet BBQ sauce... trust me. You might be tempted to drink it through a straw too.

The young lady asked me what was wrong with the cornbread and I told her im not a fan of cornered things like cornbread or brownies etc. So she then said oh the portion you have they gave you 2 slices etc .. I told the lady I am not a fan of cornered corn bread. It's a diner preference. So this whole cornbread thing was a chaos. She got the boss lady involved now because the young lady before she went to the back and got the boss lady she told me if I were to switch to a middle piece of corn bread I will need to pay another $1 for a new slice while she takes what I have on my tray. WHO DOES THAT?!!!! WHO CHARGES ANOTHER PIECE OF CORNBREAD WHEN YOU ARE TAKING THE ONE FROM ME IN THE FIRST PLACE?!!! So then i had to clarify with the young lady LOL I asked her - " So you want me to pay another $1 for you to take the corner cornbread from my tray for you to replace it with a middle piece ?!" Now mind you this young lady had a fork and a to go container in her hands removing the cornbread from my tray LOL WHO DOES THIS TO A NEW CUSTOMER WHILE THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF EATING THEIR FOOD ?!!!! Removing food thats been exposed from the diner and you as a employee removing food in front of a diner's face?!!!!! WOW. It caught me off guard cause I have never experienced that while dining out. Ever. So the boss lady came back with her asking me why and this and that about the cornbread. The boss lady asked me why I didn't mention it earlier to request a middle piece etc .. I assumed most cornbread are served in middle pieces and not corner ends. She mentioned the young lady was new when I had mentioned being asked to pay another $1 to replace the cornbread. The boss lady then said she had no problem replacing the cornbread of my request. Now get this. When they took my cornbread from my tray I thought to myself - a customer pays extra for this cornbread and after it being touched or exposed from me and mouth etc - they had the audacity to still remove it from my tray LOL most would leave that cornbread and handed me a new one right?! Nope. They took it away and the boss lady said upon giving me the new piece - " of I cant afford this and that etc" she pretty much stated she cant afford to leave me what i had on my tray and also give me a replacement. LOL This establishment must be struggling financially for boss lady to say that. Also when she handed me (boss lady) the replacement of cornbread - her long nails were touching my cornbread wearing NO GLOVES serving diners food with her long acrylic nails!!! The young lady asked me how was everything after a few minutes of me eating the food and I told her - The lady handed me my cornbread with her long nails touching my food. Let her know if the health department ever see that - thats not good. The taste of the food - Tad bit salty on the greens and brisket. Collards were fresh greens not canned i barely saw smoked meats in it but it was piping hot when served. Tender greens slight bitterness, tad salty - the collards were kind of similar tasting with Ms. Kims - The portions of the greens were ok. Enough to eat with the meat and mac & cheese. Mac & Cheese - it was dry tbh there was a cheese taste factor but I figured they close at 7pm? And I probably got the end batch of the day? It was not creamy or any cheese pull factor. Ms. Kim's or Homecoming or even Chick-fil-A mac and cheese is better imo. The Brisket - this was the one I was looking forward to trying and was slightly un impressed. Like I said maybe I came in probably towards the end of the day but no excuse if you are known for this in your menu. First of all the portions here for a BBQ place the portions are not big portions. Its "enough" LOL - For me they sliced it to 3 slices with it being each piece size of my palm. It was soft tender in the fatty centers but dried out in some areas of the meat it had a hard jerky type texture on some areas of the brisket. I didn't see a smoke ring on the meats. The meat was tad bit salty for my taste. I had to drizzle the house sweet bbq sauce to balance the saltiness. It was not the best brisket imo. It had a slight smokey flavor but the bits of pcs of hardened meat threw me off. The house made bbq sauce had a vinegar note in the end but for me it wasn't a sparkle sauce. I can get the same taste with Sweet Baby Rays. Banana Pudding was more a trifle than pudding. The sweet tea with lemonade tasted homemade - too sweet for me though. I should have gotten unsweetened with lemonade instead. I asked for a to go of their house lemonade. For me it tasted like country time with added fresh lemon juice - too sweet not necessarily tangy. It was ok. I have no plans coming back here just on the experience and the food was salty a mediocre for my taste. Mohawk Smokehouse will be my next BBQ spot I will need to try!

The red velvet cord near the entrance was a nice touch - made us feel like royalty walking in. There was a nice-looking outdoor seating area, but it was 98 degrees out and not shaded, so even my lizard-as* couldn't do it. There was a separate seating area inside though. You order at the counter. Everyone we encountered was super friendly. We got help with the menu and some suggestions on options. I opted for the rib dog and side of mac and cheese. I also got a sweet tea. My husband got the brisket with fries and a (canned) Diet Coke. The rib dog was pretty impossible to pick up and eat, but was very tasty. The mac and cheese maybe top 3 I have ever had. The brisket my husband ordered was quite tasty, pretty smokey (not my fave, but he loved it). Meat was moist and tender. It was about $42 total before a tip for the two of us and we both had leftovers for another meal. This place is a little out of our way, but we would definitely stop in again if we were in the area. If I was really craving good mac and cheese might even make a special trip (being honest - I love bbq places for the sides. Its shameful but true.)

It began in 2004 as a "Barbecue Ministry" when he hosted a backyard cookout fundraiser to help a local family whose daughter was battling cancer. In October 2009, he opened the first official 4 Rivers Smokehouse location in Winter Park, Florida. The restaurant gained a loyal following for its smoked brisket and Southern sides. Fast forward to today, when the chain has grown to around 15-23 locations. It is still family-owned and continues to expand while staying rooted in its community-focused origins. I have visited 3 different locations and like atmosphere, food, prices and style. This location is to the northwest of the SR 50 and Vineland road intersection. There is plenty of parking. The inside is a counter where you order your food moving from left to right and pay at the end. There are three sets of seating: by the counter, in the next room and outside on the patio. They have serve yourself drinks in the second room along with to-go containers. The food is a mix of barbeque beef and wings and various sides. I got a pulled pork sandwich, fries and tea. It came out quick and was excellent. The place was very clean and the staff was super friendly. I definitely recommend for anyone wanting a good meal, at a decent price, in a pleasant atmosphere in the Ocoee area.
