If I could give negative stars I would! I placed an order for over $60 worth of food to be picked and to my surprise when I showed up at the restaurant the place was closed. Tried calling and it just rang and rang with no answer. If you're completely closed down or just closed for the day why would you accept online orders for that location. Now I have to figure out how to get my money back for the order they accepted at a closed restaurant! read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Order that I placed to pick up only to find a closed restaurant. - American Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Honestly so disappointed. They truly skimp and short you on portions. A $20 plate and they barely gave me any freakin' brisket and the "Texas toast" is just a piece of regular white cut in half. Truly not worth spending so much to barely get anything. Pathetic. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - I mean really, $20 for this?? - American Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Online order inaccurate. Pork ribs tasteless. 'Texas toast' was a slice of white bread. First time order. Never again read more

Everything was awesome! Got my catering on time for 400 people without any issues and it was awesome!

Let me clear: This five stars is for an EMPLOYEE at Dickey's. We ordered Dickey's via DoorDash and unfortunately, or order was wrong again. (Not just from here, this continues to happen when using Dash.) Anyway, we called Dickey's and explained what all was missing from our order and CHEYENNE not only was so sweet and kind on the phone, she remade the entire order and included our missing dessert plus a second one with a note. Thank you, CHEYENNE, for not only correcting our order, but improving our experience and our day. read more

Thank you Josh for being so friendly and over all just a great restaurant experience. Hope your Thanksgiving was a great one! read more

Been to a few of the Dickey's locations and not sure I'd come back to this one. Tables were very sticky and could use a better cleaning. Food was ok. Asked for moist brisket, un-trimmed. Brisket was so dry I couldn't eat it. One a good note, the green beans were on point. Not happy with this one. read more

First time here, got the pulled pork sandwich and a 1/4lb of beef brisket. Very good bbq read more

No Effs given at this place. But they expect a tip nonetheless. I think they cooked everything the night before and just left it out all day. I might even call the health department tomorrow. read more

Music so loud they can't even listen for the orders. Out of items and it's mid afternoon. Under new management. Yeah you lost my business

Picked up 2 minutes after ordering, still boxing. Absolutely the worst BBQ I've ever had at a dickeys. It was ice cold, the ribs tasted days old. Mac n cheese was a hard cold lump of mush. The only thing good was the Cole slaw, waste of money. Should have known when I was the only one there. Hire people that care about their job, your name is on it dickeys. Last time I make that mistake. read more

The service here was fast but the girl behind the counter was condescending when I gave her my name while picking up and online order. Like other Dickeys locations Ive noticed a distinct difference between ordering in the store and ordering online or on the app. When ordering in store the food size, appearance, and quality are much different. In store, when I order a pulled pork sandwich, the meat is piled high, the bun is fluffy and has a more pleasing look and feel to it. Ordering online or on the app the same sandwich appears to be less meat and the bun is squished flat. I have to pry the top bun off in order to add condiments and/or bbq sauce. Ive noticed this while ordered at home and driving to the location or even ordering from the location parking lot, waiting a few mins and then entering the store. Otherwise everything else is good and always love the free ice cream that everybody gets with every meal but the cones here tasted stale. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - the parking lot - American Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

This is my go-to bbq location simply for ease and that it is close to my house. I enjoy Dickey's as a brand, and the quality is always good. This location does; however, struggle with order accuracy. In store or when I order on Uber Eats, my order is wrong every single time. Either missing a topping on my sandwich, or missing sauce on a delivery. I always say something to the staff when something is missing, or leave a review on Uber Eats, but it's one thing that hasn't ever changed. I don't necessarily want a free meal, or a refund when something is missing, I just want management to make order accuracy a priority. I will update review if this changes. Good BBQ though! read more

The food was great, but the lady wasn't so great, she acted like she didn't want to be there. The guy behind the grills was nice, he took our orders. The menu says, make it a combo-add two sides, or one drink and one side. I wanted the combo with one drink and one side, and I guess that wasn't an option. The girl rudely stated it doesn't work like that. So I paid for two sides, one I didn't want, and extra for a drink that was supposed to be included in the "combo". Under new ownership, but maybe needs a new team too. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Brisket Sandwich Mac & Cheese - American Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Worst meal I've ever ordered and the worst part I had to pay for it. Ordered sliced brisket I received chopped it was so dry it was like eating sand no flavor. Pecan pie is just gross apparently no one samples the food . It's so disgustingly sweet with a horrible after taste . The sides were awful but to fill our stomachs edible everything else was tossed. Vert pricey for terrible lazy food. read more

I stumbled in during their grand opening by complete accident in search of a decent lunch. I was greeted by a very friendly staff and ordered up the 2 meat plate. I got the brisket, spicy cheddar sausage, fried okra and baked potato casserole. $12.50 without a drink, well I get a free one as part of their grand opening. Still pricey for lunch. And they couldn't accept AMEX. Sat down in their new, clean dining area and dug in. Heres what I noted. The brisket was good but nothing award winning, honestly it was really greasy which I know you are all thinking of course it is, it's BBQ! But this was excessive. I think they wrap their briskets in plastic wrap and then heat them which just renders all the available fat. The sausage was terrible, I mean to the point that I tossed it. It tasted like a Bar-S Brand sausage with chunks of government cheese embedded in it. No good. The casserole was also bad, tasted like it was reheated food service prepared food. The okra was, well fried okra. Unless it's over cooked it's always good. Overall impression is that this is a over priced franchise run by a very nice family. It's too bad they didn't start their own BBQ gig because I bet it would be a lot better. The place was swimming in marketing materials and just really created a fake homestyle atmosphere. read more

Service was good, guy at the counter was polite and professional. Food was warm and delicious.

This is my go to BBQ because it's close to my house. It's good barbecue the service is excellent. I have to eat Bbq at least twice a week and sometimes I don't have time to go check out other places. They have a friendly staff and the lobby is always clean the bathrooms were always clean. I like the spicy barbecue sauce and I usually mix it with a sweet because I like a sweet hot BBQ. You get a free ice cream cone after every meal the kids love that, it's self service at the condiment counter. So everybody leaves with a treat when they get done, I will go back and I appreciate their hard work read more

I love this place! The brisket is so delish. Tender and flavorful, juicy and fresh. So many sauces to pick from and they are all good. I cannot resist the fried okra, so crispy outside, soft inside. Ask for extra pickles and onions. Very good portion sizes. My husband loves the creamy, cheesy baked potato casserole and the barbecue beans. The daily specials are a good value and include a drink. We eat at the restaurant and the service is great. I'd post a picture but as soon as the food gets set in front of me, I have to dig in. read more

I just had my first bad experience fir Dickey's Barbecue Pit at the Thornton, Co Location. Called in an order for pickup. He asked me who would be picking up, then hung up before telling me the total. I did not think anything of it and not worth calling back (Or so I thought). Ordered 2 meat meal 3 Meat Meal 1 large Brisket chili Total came to almost $72.00 WHY: I received 2 Medium chilis (Menu Price $8.50 each) (But now I see they have changed their online prices since Thursday night) So IF i got actually charge for what I received the total price should have been around $ 55. When question at Pick up there was no explanation just as matter of fact that is what was ordered. But it is NOT what was received. There was no use calling when the front person appeared and acted as the Manager. Outside lights were off, and the inside lights were very Dim read more

I ordered Dickeys for delivery. My husband ordered the 3 meat platter. There meat came in a container about as big or computer mouse. I ordered the 2 meat platter (which came in the same size container) and had slightly more meat than my husband got. The sides were bigger portions! I ordered a gallon of sweet tea and I got unsweetened! We also ordered 2 slices of pecan pie and only got 1. I am so disappointed in this order!! Not that it wasn't good, but the portions were terrible for the cost! We will not be ordering from Dickeys again! read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - 3 meat platter - American Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

I am a self proclaimed BBQ enthusiast. I'm Texan. I worked at a top 50 (per Texas Monthly) BBQ restaurant in Fort Worth for 5 years. I know what good Texas BBQ is. We ate at Dickey's in Allen, TX for awhile a long time ago. It was good, had family coupons frequently and was closer. Not the best TX BBQ, but not bad. Then one day we showed up to find that they were selling fish, and changed the look of the kitchen to "hide" more from view. We never went back, That was maybe 12 years ago, I visited the Thornton location after moving to Denver and working near there. I came to expect $15 for lunch with a sliced brisket sandwich, two sides, and a 1/4 lb of jalepeno sausage. Always filling. Good portions. The staff is never over the top excited, but it's okay because I'm not expecting "flare" to be tossed around in a BBQ joint. What sets this location apart from the Westminster location that I was very disappointed in, is quality of food and presentation. Go check out the picture of what I ordered at Westminster vs. Thornton. Westminster gave me four pieces of sausage, which didn't even cover the bottom bun. Now see the photo I uploaded of my Thornton lunch. Shocking. Yes, I ordered something similar yet different, but the point is that Thornton gets that presentation is important. If you only give 4 pieces of sausage, be creative with said portion. Slice it thinner, hide the inadequacy of portion size with presentation. Thornton, I'll be back. In fact, already have been three times since my dismal Westminster experience. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Excellent presentation and portion. I leave feeling I got what I wanted and paid for. - American Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

we ordered 3 specialty sandwiches and brisket loaded baked potato. what we got was 3 random buns with meat on them not labeled tossed in a bag a half-cooked dry potatoes with to pieces of meat on it. I've eaten at different dickies and they were great this one not so much. the best I can say is the meat was smoked well and the grub hub driver was fast read more

I did a to go order that was delivered by UBER and I asked for and paid for 3 sauces, did not get any sauces at all. I ordered 1/2 a dozen corn bread muffins and they were all cold, straight out of the refrigerator and no butter provided. I also ordered a slice of pie. That was missing too. Very disappointing dinner. Won't order from them again! read more

Eight dollars for a few pieces of sausage and some mashed potatoes? Holy cow, I'm in the industry and this is more disappointing than most men I've dated. read more

If I could I'd put a big fat 0 as the rating I would. I ordered a baker with sour cream, butter, green onions, extra onions, bacon, chicken and spicy bbq sauce. This is what I fucking got. A barely baked potato with no sour cream, no butter, no green onions and no sauce, also smothered in cheese. I specifically said I did not want cheese. Spent fucking 20$ on this order for it to turn up like this and I only got refunded 3$. Don't go to this location they don't know what they're doing, nor do they care. Thanks for ruining my dinner. This is the most sorry location I've seen, I love the dickeys on 88th and Sheridan. Way better. read more

Placed an order online for a 3-meat plate with sliced brisket, chopped brisket, and pulled pork. They called me shortly after I placed my order to say they had no brisket left. That's fine, it happens, I know this all too well after having worked in fast food myself. The problem is that when I asked to cancel my order, they said they couldn't do that. They insisted that I had to cancel it through wherever I had ordered it from. In this case, I ordered it through their own website, which provided no cancellation option. They refused to cancel the order themselves and are going to "talk to the manager tomorrow" about it and "hopefully your money will get refunded." There should be nothing "hopeful" about it. How hard is it to cancel an order? This is ridiculously unprofessional, especially from a major restaurant chain. read more

Tried this place a few years ago and gave it a thumbs down. Thought I would give it another try and still thumbs down. Pork was cold, fries a little under cooked, and the floor was slippery in places. Probably last time I will eat at this location. read more

We ordered the family pack and it didn't disappoint. Their bbq was delicious. The site that I used didn't ask for vehicle information so when I called the girl delivers our food and rudely tells me I messed up my order. Well thanks but I live out of state and it didn't ask me for it but hey why not be rude to people. Thank god the food was good cause it the only reason I'll return. read more

Used Uber eats. This is NOT thier fault. Dickey's gave driver wrong order...he came back, and picked it up. Called the store. Person I spoke with said "oh, that was my fault, I'll send your order when driver gets back". Said driver returned 30 min later with correct order. FYI, this is important.. Dickey's package thier to go orders in a nice paper bag, like the ones from Chipotle. Driver pulls said bag from his warming case, hands it to me, and low and behold, the bottom of the bag was wet,moist, oozing from grease. ( I did order ribs). The entire contents of ribs,baked beans,green beans and potatoes fell through the bottom and all over my carpet, entry way and front porch. I cleaned it up, put in a trash bag and told the embarrassed,very sorry Uber driver to return it to the store. Ok. I'm still hungry. Mac and cheese it is read more

If you served barbecue like this in Texas you would be shot. I'm not an expert but my barbecue experience has been far and wide and dickeys offering dinner want cut the mustard. To start they were under staffed for the usual lunch hour rush and I watched two potential customers walk out while waiting in line. A cashier is much needed so the cooks can concentrate on taking orders and prepping the food. I can deal with a wait if the food is good but it got a little ridiculous after I ordered the food The food was subpar at best. The brisket was dry bordering on jerky like tenderness with very little flavor. Chicken was Lukewarm and cut into chunks instead of shredded or pulled for a sandwich again not much flavor. The pulled pork had a decent tenderness to it, a little moist and little flavor. The sausage was the only stand out with good flavor and tenderness but a little spicy but good kick. Slaw and potato casserole sides were generic with a weird taste in the casserole which was not much more than mashed potatoes with toppings. Barbecue tastes range far and wide and some will enjoy this chain but foodies should avoid this chain the potential let down of a hohum meal. read more

I thought this place was pretty good. Better than some restaurants that specialize in BBQ in the area for sure. I took my 5 year old for a lunch date and we split a ribs plate with 2 sides. It was plenty for both and the best part according g to my girl was the free ice cream cone after. How cute is it that they offer this! Great way to get the kiddos there. I'll be back. read more

First time to a Dickeys. The people were nice. The meats were varied. The turkey breast was the best item we ordered. Pulled pork and biscuit were both fairly dry. Not horrible but not great. First main complaint is the BBQ sauce selection. There are three and in our opinion all three were not to our liking. Next is the plastic glasses for drinks. They don't have paper glasses or ones they wash. They are thick plastic glasses I guess they expect you to take home and keep. It seems like a huge waste to me. They have the good, Sonic-type ice and FREE soft serve ice-cream. Will go back once more to get another experience. read more

*** Celiac Friendly *** Dickey's has a published gluten free menu. It is hard to tell that this is a chain restaurant. The smoke in their BBQ is superb and the meats are moist and tasty. What is interesting about this specific Dickey's is that it is run by husband and wife Michael and Ingrid Jackson. Ingrid was an accountant and her husband has owned and operated a construction company for the past 20 years. After Ingrid suffered a severe head injury in a car accident five years ago, she found that bosses were unwilling to hire her - so she went out and started her own. This is a patient and loving couple that deserve the best. But getting back to brass tacks - the food and service are worth the trek, so check it out. read more

Wonderful service! They offered tastes of everything my husband and I werent sure about. The manger/owner? came out and made sure everything was fresh for us. They were having a deal on the desserts (pie slices for a buck) and when my husband got the apple pie, the owner told him to bring it back up after his lunch and he would heat it up for him. The food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant was super clean. The staff was so friendly that I really thought I was back in the south for a minute. read more

Food was served cold. Ribs tasted like they were boiled first and turkey was unusually stringy and chewey. The final insult was paying $18 for 2 meats, 2 sides, and a drink. Portion size was extremely disappointing for the cost. read more

Dropped by yesterday during their Grand Opening day. Got there around 11ish and there was a long wait, though that was to be expected. Anyhow, finally got to the front and was able to order. I got the two meat plate which comes with 2 sides, roll, pickles & onions. For the two meats I chose the Beef Brisket and Polish sausage. The sides I got to accompany my meal were Fried Okra and Green Beans w/Bacon. The brisket was moist and the sausage just as good. Fried Okra is what you typically get when ordering that one. The green beans were a bit disappointing in terms of flavor. Otherwise the roll was so soft I wanted another. Overall food was better than what I was expecting. It's nice to have a BBQ place in the area now so I don't have to travel so far when the urge hits. Price is fair with delicious food with an accommodating atmosphere to match. I will definitely go again once the hype of this one opening dies down a bit to try some of the other items on the menu. read more
