I really love BBQ and I'm an avid smoke master myself. I really enjoy Dickey's bbq and what they stand for. Sometimes it's not all about the food but the people and reason behind the business and food. One guy was working this location all by himself. The food way really good the second time I stopped by. I had gotten a brisket sandwich earlier that week bc I was coming into town for a week. It was terrible and the bread was awful. I had to give it a second change on the way out of town. It was a great experience. Food was sweet tea was great. I really enjoy Dickey's vibe. They support the right stuff. Glad to see it. read more

The food was amazing, fast and kind service, clean place and good ambience. I recommend it

Don't tip here. The employees don't get their 100% of the tips at the end of their shift. The credit card tips go towards cancelled food not to the employees. The cash tips are not distributed at the end of the day. This is illegal for any company to do in the state of Florida. How could they do this? read more

Wow! I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where the ratings were SO HIGH and yet soooooo wrong. I'm from New England. We don't have many "real" BBQ places there, but any one of them would blow this place out of the water. The people were nice enough. The food was absolutely terrible. The pulled pork was DRY like nothing I've ever tasted before in my life. No flavor. Just sucked all the moisture out of my mouth. Brisket was not horrible but also dry and mediocre. The Mac and cheese was not great. The fries...this is what bothered me the most. The fries were scraps from the bottom of the bin. None of them was over 1/2 inch long. They tasted like they had been sitting there all day and were microwaved just for me. The place was clean. I'd never go there again, though, just based on how awful the food was. read more

Such a great establishment for some good down home bbq. The employees, especially Mohammed, who made it extra special for our family of 8, took the time to really talk to me and was so friendly. Will definitely be back. read more

The owner rang out our order. Gave us a coupon for a free pulled pork sandwich when we return the next time. He is passionate about service and cares about his customers. This is somewhere I will support again and again. He is middle eastern I believe as you can see in the photos yet I thought I was eating in Texas... Fries are seasoned well and oh so crispy. Fried okra just as good. All of their meat is tender and juicy. For $20 I got a 3 meat plate with two sides. Decent price IMO. Their sauces are smack in' read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - This pictures does the food no justice. Sorry - I got so distracted by how good it was. - Barbeque Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

My wife and I were staying on Panama City Beach and we took the mile walk to Pier Park and got a solid beer at a nice liquor store and picked up 1/4 pound of Brisket and 1/4 pound of pulled pork from Dickey's. The guys behind the counter were super awesome and they also threw in a spicy BBQ sauce, (Which was amazing!) The place is clean and has plenty of seating and just a neat little restaurant, pretty reasonable too. We brought my food and beverage down to the picnic tables down by the beach and pier. The meat was super juicy and I can't say I preferred one of the meats over another. Maybe the brisket was a little more flavorful with the nice bits of fat, not overly crazy though. The meat went well with my hazy IPA and the place is just super solid for a chain BBQ place. I have tried it in 4 or five other towns and Dickey's always delivers. read more

Watched some staff member named Sal demand ID from a 12 yr old girl to prove she couldn't have a discounted kids meal after refusing to let her father use a coupon. If you are that hard up for a few dollars, you should stick to retail sales and get out of the hospitality business. After watching this take place, we left and ate someplace else. read more

This place was recommended to me by several people. It definitely did not disappoint. Excellent service and excellent food. I got brisket, pulled pork, baked beans and fried okra. All of them were super good! read more

WE WILL BE BACK... The staff is really friendly and said we could try a sample of each meat. He was very nice. Spouse had the three meat plate. I had the brisket chili, it was delicious and has a kick, but I liked it. Bread was nice and fresh, with just the right amount of garlic butter. I have never seen a hookah in a BBQ joint, so now I can say I have. The portion sizes were not overwhelming but they were just enough so we were not miserable afterwards. read more

DO NOT go to Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Panama City Beach!!! We went today for their kids eat free Sunday deal and were treated so horribly by a man named Sal that I'm still in shock. It was humiliating, hostile, and flat out unprofessional. Here's what happened. We had never been before, but we went because kids eat free on Sundays and wanted BBQ. My daughter is still 12 (her birthday isn't until September 12), so she qualifies. My stepdad went first. He had a coupon for a free sandwich, so he ordered two sandwiches for himself. I ordered meals for me and my daughter, plus a couple of sides. Now before you read this next part just know I've asked myself the same thing everyone is probably going to think. "Why didn't we just leave?" and honestly I have no idea why we didn't, we should have. Maybe it's because we already ordered the food and were in shock of what was happening. Anyway. When my stepdad handed Sal his coupon, thats when things turned ugly. Instead of honoring it, Sal snapped saying "I'm not giving you both promotions. You can either use the free kids meal or the sandwich coupon." My stepdad calmly explained that we were paying separately, but Sal immediately accused him of trying to scam him, saying things like "Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not a fool. You're trying to get over on me." My stepdad was completely blindsided and tried to explain he wasn't doing anything wrong. He even said, "If I need to just pay for the sandwich so they can use the kids meal, that's fine. I'll save the coupon for another day." He Just didn't understand why he couldn't use his coupon on one of the sandwiches. But Sal wouldn't let it go, making it seem like we were trying to steal from him over just a couple of dollars. My stepdad ended up paying full price, but when he asked for his coupon back, Sal tried to keep it! When I said "Hold on, why are you keeping his coupon if you didn't let him use it?", he finally tossed one back at us but it wasn't even the same one. It was a signed, already used coupon, basically useless. Then came my turn to pay, The first thing Sal said to me was, "I'm not giving you the kids meal. She's not 12." I explained that yes, she is 12, and I even gave him her birthdate. He sneered and demanded ID from her. I told him, "She's 12, she doesn't have an ID." Now, yes, my daughter looks older than 12, but the fact is she's still 12 until September 12. Instead of honoring their own promotion, Sal was accusing me of lying and trying to cheat him. To make it worse, As he was denying us the kids meal, he starts bragging about his 5,000 5 star reviews and he points to a sign behind me that literally said something along the lines of, "If you're short on cash, don't worry. God wants us to help each other." The hypocrisy was unbelievable and the irony was almost laughable. I told him, "I'm not trying to get over on you. I'm just here for the promotions you advertise. You're the one refusing to honor them." Eventually, he agreed to give me the kids meal, but told me to never come back asking for a promotion again. By this point, I was shaken and embarrassed, and instead of sitting down to eat like we had planned, I just wanted to leave and asked for takeout boxes. As I went back up to grab lids, my stepdad began talking to a customer in line about what had just happened. I chimed in and said, "Yea, he almost refused my daughter the kids meal." That's when another employee jumped in and rudely said, "She's not 12." At that point, I was so mad, I went to my car, grabbed my phone, and pulled up a baby picture of my daughter with her birthdate to try to somehow prove to them that she was 12. Instead of looking, he said he was calling the police, said to never come back to his establishment and started VIDEOING my 12 year old daughter! The way this kept escalating for no reason was insane to me!! We waited outside for the police, because honestly I wanted them to show up so I could explain how we were treated. But no one ever came. Still, we were left completely in shock, humiliated, my daughter was embarrassed and uncomfortable, This whole experience was just strange and absolutely unacceptable. Sal belittled us, accused me of lying, humiliated my daughter("because she doesn't look little")and then threatened to call the police because we "talked to his customers in line."We literally did nothing wrong for us to be treated the way we were. If Sal is the owner, I cannot understand how this location is still in business treating costumers like that. read more

Great foods. Good services. Convenient location. Must try when you visit PCB I tried some port ribs and they are delicous. read more

0 stars. DO NOT do business with this location. They are extremely RUDE! Me and my family ordered food for 15 people, door dash delivered food for 2 people and then the restaurant blamed door dashes and accused them of stealing our food when they gave us someone else's food! DO NOT go here, they will scam you! took $200 from us and we received no food and door dash did nothing wrong ! read more

Be eaten at many Dickey's from Ohio to here in PCB. I'm a brisket man. Their brisket is average at best. I m just an amateur at best but mine is always better. I have 10 books on cooking brisket so I'm not stupid. Maybe I'm used to cooking it. This is average at best... read more

Being from Oklahoma where we know our BQ we decided to give it a try! We were greater as we came in. My husband got a sliced brisket sandwich and I got a chopped brisket loaded baked potato. The dinner was great! The meat was tender, no fat and had good flavor. The sweet BQ sauce is really good as well. Definitely will eat here again read more

I took my grandson there for lunch and the food was old and disgusting. After I complained, I was given a whole new plate of freshly cooked ribs. I will never go back to that place again!!! read more

Our family stopped by to get some lunch before heading to St Andrews Park. Got a family pack with the brisket, chicken, and ribs. Great service and very helpful. Meat had very good smoked flavor. Enjoyed our picnic at the park. read more

The owners/staff were very friendly, and they even let us select 3 meats instead of 2 for the family pack. The sides were great, we got the mac n cheese, fried okra, and baked potato casserole. The fried okra was extra crispy and fried perfectly, and the baked potato casserole was like mashed potatoes with yummy seasonings. As for the meat, the brisket was definitely the best. If you're more of a chicken person, the marinated chicken was also very good. Surprisingly the ribs were the least favorite. You help yourself to the BBQ sauce bar, which has original, sweet, and spicy flavors. read more

This was in my "Finish My Reviews" pile. This place used to be amazing. Cannot recall the guy working the pit (long-hair, shorter guy) was super nice and always steered me towards the best proteins that day. Well, the owner/franchisee sold the business to a group of people that appear to have no interest in continuing that tradition. Ever since they took over, the smoked chicken--which was first class--never tasted good again. Man, this place used to have killer smoked chicken. I am being generous with 3 stars. read more

We were at Pier Park and looking for food. Saw this place close and online looked amazing. Got there and they had no corn on cob like they did online. We were not greeted at all, the guy was almost rude when I was ordering like I was bothering him. Portions were small for $15. My wife's baked potato was hard and not cooked at all! She wouldn't let me take it back since the employees were already unfriendly. The pork was good and the corn cakes were amazing. But otherwise huge waste of money! read more

I ordered the pork sandwich. The bun was rock hard I would have taken it back and complained but it was a to go order. I do not recommend. Not worth the price which was high. read more

Best barbecue around! Great service and clean dining. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with fries and drink. It was amazing! Their sauces are original, sweet and spicy and they were all really good. The owner is there making sure you have a great experience. I will definitely be back before I leave town. read more

If I could leave "0" stars, I would. Never been to this establishment or franchise before. I've never been so embarrassed. I ordered online. When I walked in I told the man I had an order to pick up. He yelled at me that I was too early, I had to come back at 12:30. I said: I I ordered online and it was for 12:15. The two men were totally confused. Then he says: Door Dash not until 12:30. Come back. I said: I'm not Door Dash. I put in an order online and it should be ready. (Chatter between them) and he says they'll make it now. I said: that's fine. I go to the end of the counter to wait and after a bit, I see the bbq sauce is help yourself. I go to get sauce. Come back and he's waiting on another lady. With ANOTHER order sitting there. He asks if it's hers. No. So he gives her the sandwich he was supposedly making for me. In the meantime, I see a rack with a paper bag on it with my name on it. ‍ I take it and open it to put the bbq sauce in and the other lady leaves, shaking her head. I wait and wait and wait and there's literally 2 men in there eating (at lunch time!) and I finally say: can I have my cup please? I go over to the drink area and the first man gets VERY upset and tells me I cannot have a drink I didn't pay for. I tell him for the THIRD time that I ordered a combo ONLINE and paid for a drink. It MAKES you choose a drink. He argues with me. I said: PLEASE look at my receipt, it's PAID for!! He says: it's ok this time, get a drink. I took the receipt TO him and said: I paid for this meal. That's ME. He looks at the receipt, looks at me and says: it's ok this time, next time you ask him for your cup! (That's exactly what I did and the other guy handed it to me!) There will NEVER be a next time. The sandwich was the size of a small one at a burger franchise, the fry bag was only about a 1/3 full. MAYBE 20 fries? I have never had this bad of an experience. I'm still trying to figure out how this man stays in business, but I guess being empty at lunchtime in high season in PCB says it all. Do NOT waster your time at this place. As you can see it was horrible and I was mortified at the way I was treated and spoken to. read more

I ordered a 3 meat plate and a loaded pull pork baked potato. The 3 meat plate was supposed to be Ribs,Brisket and pulled pork. I got a bone with some hard burnt meat in it and little pieces of "rib" meat that was burnt and hard as a rock. Then I try and eat my bake potatoes the pulled pork is dry ass hell and choked on a piece of plastic. I have always had great food from here but they obviously have someone preparing food that doesn't a shit about customers or quality of the food. read more

You would think that at a time like this cleanliness would be a priority. Not here. They're only using four tables and none of them were occupied when we arrived. None of the tables were clean. I had to go get a rag out of their sanitizer bucket and wipe a table off before sitting down. I would understand if they were busy but with an empty restaurant you could at least wipe the tables down. During this pandemic you are supposed to be sanitizing between guests. But even worse than that, TEACH YOUR EMPLOYEES THE BASICS OF HAND WASHING AND GLOVE USE! I've seen this on multiple visits here. Using the cash register and then put gloves on to serve food without washing hands. This time they actually have a large Rubbermaid trash can in front of the hand sink. But I really like the food here. They obviously have terrible management and training but the food is great. read more
