A Jewel in Spokane Valley! I have been to Dickie's Barbecue Pits in other locations and while I generally really loved it, they could be a bit hit or miss. I avoided this location because the reviews were lackluster. I finally tried it with my husband, who is extremely picky, and we were so pleasantly surprised. This is actually one of the best Dickies Barbecue Pits we have been to. They smoke their meat daily, all sides are made fresh daily, the help was cheerful, knowledgeable, and the dining area was clean as could be. We had the brisket (mouth watering!) and the smoked chicken (smoky flavor and moist) as well as the coleslaw (better than KFC's) and the mac & cheese (creamy)! I ended up speaking with the manager and told him that I had avoided his restaurant for years due to the old reviews. He explained that that was a different owner, and the franchise had been taken back by Dickies and re-sold to the current owner who pays close attention to how his restaurant is run. It shows! 5 Stars all around for this location. They also do catering so there's no doubt we will be eating Dickies at family events this summer. read more

Dry flavorless brisket, 3 bites of potatoes and a drink for $23. I was hoping for better for the price. I won't be returning there again I'm afraid. read more

Despite no one was there, the manager helped as he prepared our food. The service and food were excellent. However, the cost is a bit pricey. I highly recommend this business for great BBQ, coleslaw, Mac & Cheese, and the smoked chicken. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Barbeque Near Me - Spokane Valley, Washington

Food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back. Place was clean and I can't say enough good things about the food! Incredible!

I saw Heidi R's review on the spokane foodie Facebook page and absolutely had to have some BBQ. Excellent customer service, however, my ribs did not look or taste good at all! I was really expecting something "decent", it's not hard to taste better than longhorn!. Maybe I made the mistake of coming on a weeknight? I'd say stick to the brisket and sides. read more

We were looking for decent barbecue this weekend and decided to try Dickey's since we heard the Spokane Valley location had new owners. They did not disappoint. Ray, the new owner, made us feel welcome right away. He's got the place looking so great inside. Games to play, nostalgia on the walls, plenty of seating, and self serve sauces and soda (The original sauce was my personal favorite). Ray is a super cool dude. An Italian guy with a heart for true southern fare. He knows what hes doing and it shows. The ribs were fall off the bone and the rub on them was finger licking good. We also ordered a half a pound of brisket and it was just as tasty. The meal included Texas toast grilled with butter, mashed potato casserole, and creamy mack and cheese all of which were big hits with my family. It was such a great experience that we're already planning our next visit. I know Ray has a big job ahead of him repairing the rep of this place, but you will not be disappointed if you stop by here to treat yourself to some BBQ. We had a ton of leftovers and Ray walked us out to our car himself carrying the drinks, because that's just the kind of guy he is. If you are in the area.... Or even not in the area it's definitely worth the drive to eat here! We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!! read more

over 30 minutes for a 2 meat plate. absolutely ridiculous. dont suggest unless you have absolutely nothing else to do for the day

Just ordered and everything was cooked fresh and delicious. I had to pull up website in drive through to find what we wanted and guy at window made it easier! Very good and 30$ to feed a family of 4. Now I wonder why I don't come here more often. read more

We had outstanding meals at Dickey's Barbecue Pit on Sprague Ave in the Spokane Valley two days in a row. We tried brisket, turkey, chicken, pulled pork, ribs, and kielbasa. Everything was spot-on! The sauces are authentic and not overly sweet. The Carolina sauce has just the right vinegar kick. We also sampled a variety of their sides. The fried okra and the baked potato casserole were especially yummy. Grey and Corey were the ideal hosts. They were friendly and engaging but not intrusive. If you like excellent barbecue and friendly people, this is the place. read more

Honestly I love dickeys but when it's open. They have amazing food and the pit smoked backed potatoes are to die for but the last few times I've been it says they are open on google hours but they are closed I'm not sure what's up with that. read more

Friendly service combined with better food made for an excellent dinner tonight. We ordered the two-meat plate, which was served almost steaming hot. The baked beans and Texas toast were very good, but the cole slaw was the best that I have had in a very long time. The dining room and customer service areas were spotless. Thank you Spokane Valley Dickey's! read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Two-meat plate = yummy! - Barbeque Near Me - Spokane Valley, Washington

Decided to give this place another try tonight and it was a huge mistake. The employees inside didn't know the menu. I asked how many sides I would get with the meal I ordered and they didn't know. They tried looking it up in the computer but I found it faster online. The one employee didn't know how to use the card reader. They were out of baked potatoes, beans, ribs, brisket, and sweet tea. All of my food was lukewarm at best. Potato casserole was dry, Mac and cheese had no actual cheese on it. Sausage was okay but definitely not $20 worthy. (How is a 1 meat sausage plate the same price as a 2 meat plate??) The overall facility was gross. There's weeds in the parking lot, someone was sleeping in the back in their car, a bunch of random handwritten "notices" all over. There were also a TON of flys inside which makes me hope that I don't get sick from the food. I definitely will not be back and highly recommend that you don't go either. read more

We ordered some okra to go, two large servings and could not believe what we got. We got 2 orders for large with about 10 or 15 pieces in each bag, and burnt on top of it. the order for two large bags of okra turned out to be 22.00 dollars and it was so mind boggling, $22,00 for two supposed to be large but look small and burnt. Don't shop at the Sprague ave Dicky's. They are super expensive. read more

The food here is great and the employees are super nice and the place is way better with the new ownership and management the last ones were kinda bad read more

Awful. There was one poor employee working the whole restaurant. They were out of beans, out of potatoes, out of iced tea. The soda machine was broken. The food was terrible. There are weeds all over the parking lot, sidewalk and drive way. The cash register was broken. The tables were dirty. I have been to other locations and they were great. Corporate would lose their minds if they saw this place. read more

Ordered $80 in bbq. Over half pulled pork was fat. Wings were old and not sauced at all and there was no sauce at all on the side for wings and pulled pork. Called in and the owner said he was going to make it right and we would get another meal the next day. When we called the next day the owner refused to do what he said he would do and did not make it right. No refund no food replacement, and honestly no integrity. The manager tried to get into "legalities" of the situation because his family members have attended law school... Aside from that, The last few times I've ordered the food has been inedible and/or no sauce. Who wants to eat bbq and wings with no sauce?! It should be pretty simple to put sauce in the bag. Also pretty simple not to put a huge 1/2 lb chunk of fat to make a 1lb order of pork. read more

Did an online order for pickup. I sent my daughter to pick it up, when she got there she was told they had no pulled pork or Mac and cheese so what did we want instead. You have my phone number with my order so why wouldn't you give me a call to let me know? She then ordered her a chicken sandwich instead, the bun was hard as a rock and no sauce on it, the pop she ordered had no carbonation in it. So we had to throw her meal out. I ordered a Beef brisket sandwich with bbq sauce on it. There was no sauce on my sandwich and the brisket was very dry. I gave mine to the dog. We won't be coming back her anymore! read more

The brisket and sausage is very tasty, smoked to perfection the only thing is the sides are very small in portion to the amount of meat you get. Customer service was excellent and dining was very clean and to top it off the bathroom was also clean. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Sliced Beef Brisket, chopped beef brisket, spicy nacho sausage, baked potato casserole, and baked beens - Barbeque Near Me - Spokane Valley, Washington

The food was okay, the employees working didn't seem to care at all and were really rude. They were more worried about getting back to eating their own food which was just sitting out on the table. There were flies everywhere, completely disgusting. I would not recommend to anyone. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Employees just left all there good sitting out here. - Barbeque Near Me - Spokane Valley, Washington

Such a disappointment. We spent $46.00 on lunch for 2 people. 2 meals, 2 sodas, & tip. I ordered the "burnt ends" plate. What should have been crisp, glazed and mouthwatering, was so dry that no amount of BBQ sauce made it moist enough to swallow. The coleslaw was made with, what seemed to be, only onion. It was so much onion it was inedible. The mac n cheese was good but cold. I ate the mac, the rest got trashed. A chainsaw would have had trouble chewing this stuff up. I kid you not. My boyfriend got an order of wings. They came dry- no sauce, served in a bag. When he dumped them out on the tray, it was laughable. They were tiny. These wings were so overcooked that they had shrunk to miniscule specks. As he pulled them open, they actually splintered. The waffle fries were soggy. The BBQ beans were cold but tasted ok. On to the free "ice cream". I don't know what this was. While dispensing it into the cones, watery liquid came out first. The frozen stuff eventually started coming out. It tasted alright but it was a weird translucent looking stuff. What is it?? Seriously. I have to say, the soft drinks were amazing. Sounds weird, I'm sure. But really, they have the awesome crushed ice, like the hospital has. I was happy about the ice. I thought we would end up in the hospital trying to swallow the dry, splintered meat. The ice would have been great there too. I don't know who owns these places but if I were the owner, I'd be horrified to learn that this terrible quality was coming from my store. read more

Food is actually really good, prices aren't bad anymore, they are way better. Manager ray is super chill. Cool dude. I came by myself but if you were to come with a family they have all sorts of board games. The place gives off good vibes, and is overall one of the nicer places I've been to 10/10 would recommend. Place is worth it 1000% read more

Under new-new management! People tonight were friendly, but understaffed. Can't wait for the ice cream machine to return!! read more

We ordered it online for pickup. When we got home, every single item of our order was wrong. It wasn't anything we ordered at all. Just random stuff, that was all cold and soggy, but it had our receipt on it and stapled closed! We tried to call the store, and the number doesn't work! It's out of service. We tried to call the "catering" line to see if they would possibly be able to transfer, and that line just kept ringing with no answer! This is the second time this has happened. They need to get it together. read more

I ordered a 2 meat plate, ribs and turkey. Food was cold. I was told they don't have a food warmer and it get cold as soon as the take it out. Wife ordered baked potato with brisket, but got no brisket. The sweet tea I was told to put my own sugar in it. And the pans they had in the warmer were absolutely gross.. Last time I come here. read more

If y'all don't want to service delivery orders then just opt out. Quit wasting people's time. Every time I go there it's disgustingly dirty also. Would never eat here. read more

The service was very friendly hardly anyone in there when we went in only one customer food was good a little pricey for what you get will be back. read more

Great food Had takeout for family dinner plenty of food loved their coleslaw. I would recommend this to other people

To be clear, my only experience with this travesty of a restaurant is as a delivery driver picking up orders for customers. After everything I've seen all the times I've visited the Spokane Valley Dickey's Barbecue Pit, I can most assuredly tell you I would never eat here of my own accord. The children employed to work behind the counter are not at all instructed in ANY level of workplace professionalism, proper customer service behavior or frankly proper food service handling. Multiple times I have witness the overwhelmed lead/shift supervisor barking orders and yelling at the lackluster kids who are quite literally just standing around with their thumbs up their asses with facial expressions that would make a corpse look excited. I've seen the employees get in arguments behind the counter, I've heard highly inappropriate remarks and jokes, you name it... And then there was my last visit.... I didn't want to stomach standing in the dingy dining room watching the unprofessional melodrama of an apathetic staff of cherubs prepare the delivery order I was waiting for. So I went through the drive through. After I was greeted at the speaker and told to pull to the window, the gal told me they were "just bagging the order up and it will be right up." I sat there in my car at the window for 18 minutes and NO ONE came back to the window. Meanwhile, that whole time I'm staring at a whole tray of UNCOVERED MEAT sitting in the back of their facility on a table, open to the elements! read more

We received a gift card two years ago. Finally decided to try it. All of the reviews are 100% accurate. Terrible food, completely inappropriate workers, needed cleaning. Food - I thought, it would be impossible to screw up a baked potato, right? That potato had been sitting on a steam table literally for days. It's supposed to be white and fluffy. It was very dark beige, mealy, soggy, wrapped in aluminum foil that had been slit. There were specs of aluminum in the potato. Ew. The "butter" was just oil, and they put a small shred of cheese on it, not even visible. No bacon, had to ask for that. And the gross disgusting flavor was like they doused it in liquid smoke. It was truly the worst potato I've ever had in my life. Partner had meat, he said it was mostly fat. They were out of French fries, so he had "potato casserole" which is just boxed mashed potatoes. Workers - they were BLASTING Christian music and one of the guys was singing along. Loudly. Like an American Idol performance. It was so loud we couldn't talk so we just got out of there ASAP. Please don't subject me to your religious shit or amateur performances while I spend $40 to eat. Cleanliness - disgusting. Everything. I bet the person who gave us the gift card regifted it to us because he was too smart to eat there. read more

We ordered through Grub Hub... we specifically asked for napkins and utensils because we are staying at a hotel...and nope.. it's really hard to eat with out utensils. Thank goodness the hotel has some. Now let's talk about the food... thumbs down overall. I ordered the pit dip sandwich, Mac n Cheese and potato salad. My granddaughter liked the mac n Cheese. My sandwich was very fatty. Potato salad is mustard style. Hubby had the 3 meat plate... what a joke for the price. The BBQ sauce sucks... Over priced way over priced... do not recommend. Now the grub hub driver was very nice and quick to pick up and deliver. I didn't take pictures because there was nothing worth taking pictures of. read more

They were out of ribs at 3:00 in the afternoon on a Tuesday!! I said isn't this a Rib place? No we are a meat place Second time in disappointing both times!! Won't go back. read more

Incorrect orders, out of most items, meat is dry, signs not clear if you go in or not, there is an RV living there in their parking lot, run without adults read more

I tried Dickey's location in Sammamish and thought it was great, so I figured I'd try this one. The experience was not the same, they had limited options, and the meats I ordered were dry and bland, and so was the Mac and cheese. read more

On the plus side, the girl behind the counter was fairly friendly and the place was much cleaner than when I tried Dickey's in the Valley previously. Prices seem to have gone up, which I felt were too high before. Rolls are worse than before, dry and taste frozen three weeks ago. Brisket also dry and fairly bland. I can see why the girl at the counter made a point to remind me to get some of the barbeque sauce before I left. I could get better barbecue at so many places in Spokane, and for cheaper. Not saying the other places are good, but for the price I am paying I expect brisket to not be dry and grainy, and you would think the rolls would be made in the same day period, not 30 day period. I have heard this chain started in Texas. Just like the Roman Empire, the father you get away from Rome, the less like Rome things are. What I can't understand is the location up north does a really good job. What exactly is going on that two locations in the same general area are so different. Guess I will go back to driving really far north or making the brisket myself. I gave you another chance, Valley Dickey's. Not again. read more

Dining area was totally forgotten about. Asked about long hair/no hairnet, dangling over my meal being prepped and he laughed...no ice tea and ice cream machine apparently has been broken out back, and employee said they wont fix it... Lastly brisket was dried n burnt... Bummer, never again... read more

Awesome all around sure much better.you will get your moneys worth. Sense December the new mange ment is so much better than it was. I am so impressed read more

I wanted to love this location as much as I fell in love with the one in Dallas. Sadly, lunch today was a huge, and slightly expensive, flop. I ordered: Full Rack of Ribs- they were fall off the bone tender, but the flavor was not it. 1/5 Side of Coleslaw- This was delicious! 5/5 Side of Mac n Cheese- Great texture, not much flavor. 3/5. Soda- PERFECT 5/5 for mix of carbonation to flavor syrup. It was absolutely refreshing and so good. Service- I only had contact with the girl in the drive through- she was delightful. 5/5. I was craving BBQ so so so much and this was kind of a let down. I may go back to try a different meat option in the future. read more

the food, well, if that is all that matters... it is the best barbeque in town. the ambience, it has a very small papa shop vibe. service, while not busy as it seems to be a neglected TREASURE Of Spokane Valley, it' service is wonderful. but, i cannot comment as to when it is busy. i have never seen it busy. but i can tell you, coming from Texas where beef is cooked to perfection in most establishments, it's the best brisket in town. sorry longhorn bbq, they just do it better. they had me taste test their chili... i went back for seconds. and i will be recommending this place highly from now on. read more
