Ordered a two meat chopped brisket dinner tonight. When I got home more than half the meat was a slab of mostly fat un-chopped. I drove back to the store and asked to speak to the manage. The staff said they could not find him but he should be back soon. I'm not sure if he was hiding of stepped out, About five minutes later he came out of the bathroom. I showed him the disgusting piece of fat / grizzle. The piece of grizzle was uncut or sliced and was about four inches long and two inches wide. I asked for a refund and he said no. I said it looked like the scraps that get thrown away and he said it was mine and I was not getting a refund. Our talked got heated and I left without a refund. I've been a Dickey's customer for years and have been to this one more than fifty times. I've always thought the food and service were at acceptable levels and enjoyed being a customer. My first complaint EVER i was treated unprofessional and not given an acceptable outcome to some food that was obviously a mistake. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - a piece of scrap meat sold to me as Chopped Brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Southern Pines, North Carolina

We stop by most of our visits to the area. We've been eating at various Dickey's locations all over for years. This location is pretty good. It's clean, quick and the workers are friendly enough. I always get the brisket. Sometimes it's super fatty, other times it's better. Always has a nice dark char, which I love. The French fries and okra are really good. Bread is good. Baked beans are a pass for me. read more

Pulled pork was well cooked and tasty. The BBQ sauce was tangy and a bit spicy. Not bad. I should have picked a more flavorful sauce but that's on me. BBQ beans were baked beans from a can. Little disappointed. I normally get awesome beans from barbecue places and these were ok but they could and should do better. Fries were a bit soggy and undercooked. They didn't include ketchup nor did I see where you could ask for it. The gallon of iced tea was hot and not the store brand I paid for. So, have to chuck it in the freezer to have it chill down. I tasted it and it seemed ok but not what I paid for. All in all the food was ok especially the pulled pork. Don't know that I will order from here again as being in NC there are a lot of better choices read more

This is hard to accept as "two meat". If someone only ordered a one meat plate they might have gone hungry... I think we can do better Dickey read more

The staff was nice and we did come in late, but the portions of the food is just insulting

This is our first time in North Carolina and the lady making the plates was by far the rudest person we have seen here. The food, however was really good. read more

Love this Dickey's! Staff is friendly, food is delicious and the store is immaculate! They're super helpful and are great for catering too. Love coming to visit them! read more

Decided we would try again and at this rate not sure how much longer this place will survive. Let me start by saying we were looking for some where different for barbecue so we ended up here big mistake. There wasn't ten people in the restaurant on a Friday should of been my first sign but decided to order, We ordered a brisket plate (one meat) with potato casserole and a 3 meat plate rib, brisket and barbecue plate with Mac and cheese and chili. After waiting over a half hour (she did apologize for the wait) the food was awful we dumped most of it in the trash it was awful.... Even after putting sauce on it the food was dry and tasted bad.. we will definitely not return to this location... read more

This weekend my wife and I tried another BBQ restaurant in So Pines and their brisket could not be considered in the same league as your brisket. It was cubed, soaked in sauce and overcooked. Keep up the good work! You have the #1 brisket in town! read more

I have been to a lot of Dickeys around the country and they are usually great. I can not recommend this one. They barely talk to you and the food taste like it's been sitting around. The worst part about it is that the had a huge price hike and gives you half portions. I do mean really small portions. Don't waste your time or money at this place. read more

We ordered for takeout and it was fabulous. First time there and we will be back. Loved the brisket.

This place needs to close. No customers in the place. Demanded I wear a mask. When I have health issues. I will never spend a dime at this location again. Would not eat the food if you bought it for me. Place has went through several Owener ship changes. Maybe when the next owners take over they will appreciate people's business. read more

The food is good... not the Nc bbq.. not a fan... but the Texas BBQ is very good... the employees made me feel like I was a bother.. spent $60.00. They did not say thank you./ kiss my.. nothing. Won't go back... I'll spend my money someplace else. I will not be treated like That read more

I order a catering job from Dickeys for 75 people on 28 May for a 5 June party. Although it was to late for them to deliver I set up a pickup time of noon on the 5th of June. I arrived at 1156 on the 5th and they were packing it all up and I was loaded and driving away at 1203. It was perfect. The food was still hot when I set it up for lunch at 1245. Everything was in the order and tasted great. Thank you for the catering job. This was my 5th time having this party catered by Dickeys and the 1st time that I had to pick it up. It was a busy weekend and my lateness in ordering was on me but they easily absorbed the order into that day. read more

Ordered a Brisket plate an received a Pork plate. They tried to convince me that it was Brisket and I refused to accept that so they finally told me they had sold out the Brisket for the day. After apologizing they offered up some ribs. Everything else didn't really matter at that point. read more

We walked in and stood at the counter. No one greeted us A lady walks up and says she'll take our order and then walks off and never comes back. Another guy is standing there doing other things while the line backs up ignoring everyone. I finally ask him why no one is taking our order and he replies with a snarky tone "we're doing catering." So suggestion, don't take more catering orders than you have staff to handle if it means you ignore the people standing in your restaurant ordering. So rude. I will never go back read more

Excellent place for BBQ. The entire place was clean. The staff was patient and friendly once we decided what we wanted. The food was served promptly. Everything was served hot (pulled pork, chopped brisket, polish sausage, Mac & cheese and loaded baked potato casserole was delicious. The 3 sauces offered a variety of flavors and you could serve yourself so you could customize your preferences. You can get an ice cream cone for dessert. A nice option for delicious bbq. read more

If you want to have stomach pain, the urge to puke, by all means eat here. That's how I feel right now. We're in the middle of a road trip and I'm so nauseous and in such pain, having had to stop and buy Pepto to ease the upset. First they wrap all meat in plastic and put it in a heater, don't they know that it leaches the plastic chemicals into the meat? Then they take a big jug of liquified margarine and slop that on the bread, put some fatty, nasty meat on there and charge too much for crap that physically will make you ill. Why have they not been shut down? I'm sure they'd fail inspection. If anything, do your body a favor, walk over to the Olive Garden if you must. read more

Second time ever eating at Dickeys. First time was a very long time ago so I can't even remember it. We went here tonight. COVID has everyone at home so the restaurant was empty (lucky us). Clean and staff was very friendly. Food was delicious. Ill be back! read more

Well I have stopped a couple of times and never been to impressive but was just in the mood and pick and pig to far away . Saw brisket tacos and they said no shells till Monday. Sir food lion less than a half a mile duh. Lazy staff. Order the brisket sandwich a little dry a little Smokey flavor need a lot of save. Hot that is. Ordered jalepeno beans. No heat. And Luke warm. Just not a good day for Dickey's. Sat bu a family witH 3 kids. They ordered before I did. I received. Before the first got tHeres First two kids. Then The wife and then the husband. Meals came out In spurts so they did not eat together as a family They do have a 100 rating hard to gEt with the new girl in town doing inspections. They can do better. They had 6 people working with a table of 8. , 5. My self. And then a mother and 2 kids. Take pride in your work. Place was clean. read more

Excellent food and service!! Highly recommend stopping by for some BBQ and the fried okra was also great!!

First time here, the portions were very good; not too large. The meat was moist and tasty. I've been told the flavor is in the meat, sauce on the side. Excellent flavor to the pulled pork and brisket. Though I never get enough bark. Lol. We will be back. read more

Good Fast Food BBQ. Yes, it's a chain restaurant, but it's good. If you want the best BBQ in the area, go to Pik-n-Pig. But if you want a BBQ place that is open consistent and normal hours, go here. read more

Yesterday Dickeys catered our NC 7 on 7 event. And they fed so many kids their delicious slow cooked bbq and mac n cheese. Their bbq had chunks of slow cooked pork not the typical stringy stuff. They fixed us a hospitality table and their ribs and smoked sausage was to be celebrated. The sausage seemed to have sizeable peppercorns and cheese. The ribs were cooked to perfection and that sauce was great. I wasnt really into the mac and cheese, but being outside in 100 degree weather. I couldnt ask for better. read more

This location was very good for the regional chain. My ribs, brisket, and spicy cheddar sausage were tasty. The jalapeño beans and onion tangler sides were flavorful. The roll was fresh, and you can't forget the FREE ice cream!! :) read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Brisket/Ribs/Spicy sausage plate, with roll, onion tanglers, and jalapeño beans. Very good for a chain!! - Barbeque Near Me - Southern Pines, North Carolina

It's not John's BBQ, but I can go to The Pik N Pig for that. However, guess it'll do in a pinch. If you're a transplant, you probably think this represents NC BBQ. My apologies. read more

My sons and I have eaten here many times. Food can be great, if it's warm. Our experience is that some items will be warm while others are not. I love the baked potato dish..and fries. Nothing to really write home about. Farrrr too overpriced for the small portions they give you. They also will buckle and dime you to death over small things such as rolls. Not worth the price, especially when you're feeding 3 children who eat far less. read more

We had Dickey's cater our group function last Friday night. They did a great job! The food arrived hot and the delivery person set everything up for us perfectly. We had had issues with Dickey's catering a couple of years ago so we had stopped using them, but I think this Dickey's is under new management, so if you haven't used them for awhile, give it a shot. We were definitely pleased with the service and what we got for the price. read more

I have eaten in this restaurant for YEARS without issue. Suddenly, post remodel, apparently under new management (they have a bunch of new staff faces at the meat service counter) I CANNOT (now in three tries) get PULLED pork barbeque despite PULLED pork barbeque being the only style of pork shoulder offered on the menu. Each time, while giving SPECIFIC instructions to leave the meat as intact as possible, I have received CHOPPED barbeque even though neither CHOPPED barbeque, nor SHREDDED barbeque is on any menu in the joint. If I wanted chopped barbeque I would go to Smithfield's or Stubb's (I NEVER go to Smithfields or Stubbs). But further completing the personal insult they deleted the vinegar style barbeque sauce--what it'd kill you to keep out a squeeze bottle or two of vinegar sauce? Years of my patronage will be lost to inattention to detail and an inability to follow instructions. My loss, but I have a STRICT three strikes policy. (Actually most places only get the one chance.) read more

Arrived at 6:00pM ON Friday night and was told they were out of everything except smoked sausage and chicken. No beef, pork , ribs, or turkey. Couldn't understand why they stayed open. read more

Sometimes it very good other times not so much. The free ice cream has deteriorated used to be good now it's lacking in flavor and has ice crystals in it. Seems not to be as clean as before. Very iffy. read more

Good selection on the menu. The food was plentiful and decent -- a bit on the pricey side for what it is offering. My experience was pretty much what I expected of a chain. If you're craving barbecue and aren't willing to make a 20 - 45 minute drive to a few of the truly authentic and amazing BBQ joints in the region, this place might help get you through. read more

I stand corrected. The smokers for the BBQ are inside the building. The product is NOT delivered by truck.

First time at this location. Overall restaurant not bad. I've eaten at several locations and this one had the worst beef brisket very dry. Pulled pork was good. Food was ok all over. Might give it a try again read more

Best BBQ in our area....just my opinion. The Pulled pork is amazinnnnng!

I had been looking for some decent BBQ in the area for years and finally tried Dickey's in June and have been back a few times since. It is very good. Little expensive but the ribs and chicken is top notch. The sides are good as well. Love the unlimited sweet tea and ice cream. read more

Great little BBQ place. Pulled pork was delicious. Clean-97 health rating! Friendly staff, reasonably priced. I have eaten at Dickeys locations in other states, and this one is by far the best. Kids eat free on Sundays! read more
