On a whim, I visited this new BBQ place to me, for some meat to add to my salad I had picked up. I was greeted immediately upon entering, and was treated wonderfully! I am exceedingly picky and selective about my BBQ coming from a BBQ family my entire life, prefer BBQ dry rubs versus any sugary sauces that seem to disguise and mask flavors to me of really good meats, so chose accordingly on both the turkey and brisket. When I got home and got a really good tasteful of each before adding to my salad, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Both were incredibly juicy (the turkey moreso), fantastically melt in your mouth tender, and the flavor was out of this world, just like I remember from living back at the East Coast and unlike most other disappointing BBQ I've tried in CA over the last 25 years (when I spot BBQ I have to try some). A bit pricey by the pound, but perfection is worth it. The sandwiches and rest of menu look reasonable. I'm a purist, watching my carbs, and the meat I had is just too divine to not be eaten by itself or flavoring a salad for me. BTW? It was the BEST salad I've ever eaten in my entire life if that gives you an idea! read more

Wasn't really impressed, food was cold and not very tasty. Dickey's used to be really good BBQ, we went to the one in Placerville, we were very disappointed. read more

I moved to the area recently and the closest Dickey's was 20 minutes away in Placerville. I ordered through the app and I looked online and it said that they closed at 9 PM. I ordered at 7:30 with a pick up for 8 o'clock when I arrived at 8:03 I noticed that the sign said closed and someone was running out my food, which was in a problem because I had curbside pick up What concerned me was that it was closed. I would've never ordered before closing. That's just not what I do I think it's rude. I paid almost $35 for two meats 4 small sides and I had ordered Texas toast, but I ended up getting cold rolls. The food was not good at all. I'm really disappointed because I feel I got the end of the night cold reheated and dry food makes me sad that I wasted my time and money to go all the way out there for this I ended up throwing it away. It wasn't even good. Bummer. read more

Excellent meal with my daughter and her fiancé. They are looking for a great barbecue catering service for their wedding next year in Apple Hill. This Placerville location was so good and accommodating! They gave us samples of everything and we were able to decide on our menu for the wedding. thank you so much for your outstanding service, and we will definitely be using you for our big event. read more

We ordered the salad with chopped brisket and the picnic pack w/ chopped brisket and it was ALL inedible fat for over $60.It wasn't chopped because the fat was too thick to chop threw. I called to complain and they said they could give us their managers number. I give 1 star because they allowed to drive the 30 minutes back there to return the fat and pick up actual meat. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - All fat, no brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Placerville, California

Ordered take out tonight and it was roughhhhh. First, everything was room temperature maybe even somewhat cool. We ordered two two meat plates and the brisket on both plates was nothing but fat, and again...cold. I searched everywhere for the two pork ribs I ordered but apparently they never made it in the bag, probably a blessing in disguise honestly. The mashed potatoes were so old and dry they had crusted over on the top and had crusty bits mixed through, like they just continued to mix old mashed potatoes from the top in to the rest of it. I ordered my son macaroni and cheese to go with his meat and it was so dry and rubbery it had started to burn in parts. I ordered onions for the meat and they were slimy and old and had a sour/pungent smell. This restaurant has continued to go downhill over the past 5-6 months...Now to the point of being really plain nasty. I tried to go back this evening one more time, one more try to let them "get it right," but nope...never again. It was absolutely disgusting. read more

Great food, hot fresh BBQ! The giant potato was delicious, fully loaded. The Mac n cheese is creamy and very cheesy. The jalapeño beans are spicy and full of flavor. Ribs were melting off the bone, so good. read more

Yummy every time we come in. There's always some sort of special.... Special of the day, kids eat free on Sundays, pit boss special for lunch. I highly recommend the creamed spinach if you like it. read more

EXCELLENT Just the whiff of BBQ meat when you walk thru the door deserves 5 stars. The food tastes great

Claire was amazing, quick and efficient behind the counter. Great personality. Food was delicious. Fresh brewed tea and/or sweet tea for your liking! New owners are great! read more

Food is AMAZING!! And the service was just as good! Amrit (the owner) even came over to check in on our meal and make sure it was up to par.

Good food, and great service all around. I love how they do daily specials everyday! For the amount of food you get it is so worth it! read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Daily specials - Barbeque Near Me - Placerville, California

Taste just like the big expensive bbq restaurants with fast food ambiance. We go there ever chance we get. So good!!!

I've been here a few times and had a great experience but the man that prepared my food today was not the owner I don't think, and he treated me very rudely and barked orders at me as I was trying to order my food. Not a smile and just very unfriendly. I was very disappointed almost to the point of tears. When a customer is trying to patronize your location and give back to the local business owners. This looks and feels so wrong. I'm posting this so the owner knows how I feel as treated so others don't feel this way. If you contact me I'll change my post. Thank you read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Good food - Barbeque Near Me - Placerville, California

Had not been there for while. See their menu has been renovated and the ice cream machine/soda machine did not return after the pandemic . While the meat was good (sad to see turkey removed) the sides were poor. With the removal of a salad there are no "healthy" sides. Coleslaw nope. Green Beans are so spicy we could not eat them. Not going to go back. read more

We were warmly greeted and received great service. The chopped brisket was very tasty!

Food was delicious, employees were very nice, price was decent, and restaurant was very clean. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Yummy Brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Placerville, California

Food was delicious, staff were all friendly. My only criticism is that one of the male employees had a cough, and at one point in the food prep he coughed right in the direction of the chicken he was cutting up, didn't bother to cover his mouth at all. I am not a mask nazi by any means, and in fact I was not wearing a mask in the restaurant, but I would surely think that someone with a cold or flu would be wearing a mask. Right on schedule, 2 days later I came down with a cold with accompanying cough. The website indicates that staff wear masks, but on this day none were. Aside from this incident, food was excellent with good quantities at fair prices. Would be 5 stars if not for the "direct hit" coughing incident. read more

food was good. service wasn't up to questionable. I had problems with app and didn't get my discount. I tried to tell the person there and their response was " don't have anything to do with that. Don't know anything about it. Do you wan your food?" so a little disappointed. read more

The pulled pork sandwich is the BEST, as is the macaroni & cheese! The restaurant was sparkling clean and the staff was helpful with suggestions and they were kind. We will definitely be coming back soon! read more

FYI if you order just meat from them, please weigh it when you get home. I just ordered 2 pounds of sliced brisket and they only gave me 1 pound 13.5 OZ. read more

Great food, nice people, clean restaurant and restrooms!!!!! Also stop on the way to Tahoe. Outside seating for your dogs!

Great friendly service. It's been to hot to cook , so I go to this establishment to get dinner on occasion. I've never been disappointed by them. When you walk in the first thing you hear is a friendly hello. Supports this great place. Thank you for providing great food and exceptional service. read more

Wow what a place this was. The guy who took our payment probably had about 1 Brain cell hanging on by a thread. Idk what was going on back there but our food comes out and it looks just awful. We sit down and it was super cold and didn't seem like any of it was actually cooked or fresh. Not only was the food awful and the service interesting, but we had to overhear a family talking about how there sons don't shower and need to start showering everyday. Definitely what I want to hear while smacking on my cold sandwich. 0/10 I think I'm getting sick read more

Good prices if you choose a daily special. I liked the brisket, it was a bit dry and the slider bread was definitely 3 star, as was the mediocre jalapeno bean side. But I am giving them 4 star for the overall cleanliness and the concept for a fast casual place that shows some in-house pride, like doing the meats all in-house which is far better than any fast food burger place. Hog Wild has nothing to worry about, but for a chance to get AWAY from an In-n-Out or Carl's Jr, this is far better and only a bit pricier than that. Well worth it. Cool, shaded patio to augment the nice seating indoors. It's not a crime to eat at at a fast food chain, once in a while, at least not this one. Your body will thank you if you eat more proteins and less grains. read more

We ordered food for about 40 people over the weekend and what great service. We questioned whether we got enough meat for everyone and the owners assured us we had enough.....boy were they right! Everything came hot and ready to serve. They provided everything we needed and man was it good. Great food and great service, please support you locally owned businesses when you can. read more

I called and placed an order due to the app having problems. They were completely out of brisket. The lady on the phone was exceptionally nice. I picked up my order and they brought it out. When we got home they had forgotten the salad. One of the meat plates only had two ribs. We love the mashed potato casserole. read more

Stopped here in the way home from Apple Hill and it was the best Dickey's I have ever been to hands down. The restaurant was clean and the decor was perfect for this BBQ place. The staff was friendly and inviting and the food was on point as well. We order 2 jumbo loaded baked potatoes with brisket...top notch. Tried their original, sweet and spicy BBQ sauces, all three had great flavor. Also ordered a brisket sandwich and a three piece order of their ribs with Mac and Cheese. Definitely gonna make this stop a tradition when we are out in the Placerville area! read more

Great service and food. The owners were really sweet and service was fast. Everything was clean and tidy. Great place for a fast lunch .

Went here on a Sunday with the family. The food was really good. However the staff looked like they were miserable. The primary reason for only two stars is that 3 out of 4 of us who are the pulled pork were sick afterwards. After eating half of my meal I was really nauseous. Thankfully a little activated charcoal helped a heap. This isn't the first time we've felt yucky after eating there. We won't be back. read more

Ann has asked for my home address, I gave it to her and never heard from Dickey's again. I have not returned since. read more

Terrible service!!!! Just ordered a $120+ dinner online. Get there to pick it up and the lady is complaining that I ordered such a big order online because she felt rushed to get the order ready and she had to use all of her dinner supplies. I have never heard of a restaurant complaining because I want to give them money. We ONLY ordered from here because HOGWILD BBQ was closed. Never again will we be ordering from Dickey's again. read more

the food is amazing! my mom and i do some lunch dates here and ben is excellent and always so helpful to us! they're under new ownership and the new owner is so sweet and welcoming. highly recommend placerville dickeys bbq! read more

Friendly staff, great brisket with spicy BBQ sauce, great baked potato side. What's not to love!

Best bbq and cleanest in placerville. Family ownwed and operated. I eat here atleast once a week. I have never had anything, i didnt like. read more

This place is amazing. I work right around the corner from them and couldn't believe how much I've been missing out. My fiance and I ordered sandwiches here last night and they were so good, I had to come back today. When I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome. I ordered 2 brisket sandwiches, 2 sides, a drink and a brownie. You would be hard pressed to find a BBQ place with a better price, it just doesn't exist and the quality of the food is KILLER! The spicy BBQ sauce and the Carolina sauce are both great. You can't go wrong with this place. Good quality, good service, good price and fast. read more

I wanted to give a great shout out to this Dickeys and their customer service. We were headed back from Echo Lake and I was looking for a place to have dinner. In the midst of this pandemic, all of the local restaurants were closing early or did not answer their phone at all. The exception was Dickeys. We already knew we would be 5-10 mins past their closing time. I was willing to order and pre-pay for the food so we could at least eat a non-fast food meal. The gentleman who answered the phone was so kind and was willing to allow us to pick up our food after their closing hours. Who does that these days? Come to find out this location is owned by a family who is more than accommodating. We were so grateful for their flexibility and the food was great! The turkey was moist and smoky just yummy. My salad and veggies were also very good. My partner had the brisket and pulled pork, also both excellent! We never felt like we got the "end of day food". Thank you to the owners who were so kind to us. You are a rare find and anytime I am in Placerville, which is often.. I will make sure I come and see you! read more

They neglected to include sides that coat $15+ in total for a family of five, after being made to park for 30 min. Arrogant and inept leadership that'd rather enjoy some smoke breaks and doesn't enforce COVID-19 mask rules (so I'll be reporting then to the state, like that matters without any enforcement). read more

Still coming here, so just an update. Tonight we had the rib dinners. Food was great, reasonably priced, fast service, restaurant was super clean (which is something we don't get from other places much anymore). Always enjoy our stops here. Thx. read more
