Have come here many times over the years but finally now feel compelled to leave a review. The food has always been great, which is why we kept coming, but service in the last few months and the atmosphere has completely turned around. New staff?? New management/ownership? Not sure! But we had the BEST service from Rachel. Will def be coming back more often. read more

Waste of time and money. Spent $67 cash here, and the experience was ridiculous from start to finish. Their card machine was down, so I had to pay cash. Bill came to $67, I handed over a $100 bill, and they handed me back my change ($33) entirely in single $1 bills. A massive stack of ones like they were trying to empty their drawer on me. To top it off, almost every side on the menu was out. Half the menu was unavailable. I ended up paying $18 to $20 for a 2-meat plate that came out practically empty. Portions were laughably small for what they charge. Poorly run, bad management, and zero attention to customer service. Save your cash and go somewhere else that actually has food on line and proper change in the register. read more

Save your money and stomach. This is the first Dickeys we have been to that was horrible. It was $32 for two small sides (beans and overly salted okra), a sweet tea (really water with sweet and low), pulled pork sandwich and a chopped beef sandwich. We still don't know which sandwich was which. It was like mashed up mystery meat. Tried to drown the wonder in BBQ sauce, but no flavor. We both stopped eating when we bit into hard bones. HORRIBLE. Oh, and they are only taking cash. read more

The food was delicious, and the restaurant was clean, welcoming, and ready for customers. Joel was friendly, courteous, and provided excellent customer service. A huge bonus for our family was that my daughter got to eat for free! Every Sunday, kids eat free, which is definitely a plus for us. We had a great experience and will definitely be back! read more

Overcharged - menu says make it a plate with 2 sides, and they don't honor that. Upcharged on everything we ordered. Bbq sauce in crock pots that seems like it's been in the same pots all week getting reheated. Daughter went to the restroom and saw multiple dead roaches. Then on the way out noticed lots of dead bugs and roaches in the open counter space between the serving line and the tables. Yuck, thought re-opening after the"remodel" would be a good a thing, will never go back. Don't waste your money or stomach after all the bugs! read more

They are open again!! The barbecues was spot on! I had the 3 meat plate with brisket, ribs and kilbasa sausage. It was fresh and hot. The fried okra was out of this world! We met with our community group from church and everyone had a great time. The kitchen manager came out and checked on us and asked how we were doing and if he could get anything for us. Great service with great food gets a high recommendation from me. read more

Omg this place and the staff exorcism the manager, "Boss Man" are the try epitome of Texas Southern Hospitality! Since we've begun our recent across nation travels, Chase Bank had given us so much grief when it comes to paying. They decline every transaction at least twice and flash it as fraud. We have to can almost every time to get them to pass the sale. Well today was no different except the Chase tep we got apparently didn't know how to pass the transaction. After 20min in line holding everything up trying to order lunch, Boss man came out and kindly accommodated our issue. While I was almost in tears and my husband was at his wits end, Boss Man's kindness covered the multitude line God grace. In this crazy world his light shined brighter than any discrepancy that tried to shadow us. Thank you Mr Boss Man! You are a beautiful representation of Giod will at is finest! The food was Amazing to boot! read more

One of the best and affordable BBQ spots in town!Anyone know why is closed right now? (23NOV2025)

Thank you to the man behind the counter for your generosity. Dickey's is good food and a great place with good people.

I thought I'd try it since it was "under new management ". But NEW is not always better. They told me they were out of turkey and pulled pork so I got brisket only. It's over cooked and dry. It's not cut correctly so it's hard to cut and chew!!! It was soooo salty. I was told they were also out of fried okra, but yet there was some in my bag. However, I ordered green beans and i got none! I got everything in small paperbags as they were out of large plastic bags. ‍. I had to ask for the rolls. Sorry I did that, as they were flat and hard. They obviously didn't let them rise. It look longer than usual to get like 15 minutes longer. I was told by the lady at the windows that "we will have everything next time!" There won't be a next time. Sad sad sad. "Fingers to da Bone BBQ" for me. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - It's 101 - Barbeque Near Me - Waxahachie, Texas

When I'm looking for some fast food bbq , Dickeys is my go to . I love that the location over here by where I stay has a drive in, so for those times when I'm really not feeling my best and look how I feel I can always slide thru the drive thru for some good and fast bbq food . This particular location has some of the friendliest workers , they are always so kind and welcoming. I also appreciate that they don't put bbq sauce on their ribs , I'm kind of one of those weird people where i prefer to dip my meats into the sauce, because some places bbq sauce can be very overbearing. I got the two meat plate which came with your choice of two meats and two sides. I got some ribs and some sliced brisket with a Cesar salad and corn . The salad was so nice, fresh and green, and they weren't stingy with the Parmesan cheese either . I hate that the corn , which is something that is so easy to make was horrible . It was extremely mushy . So possibly over cooked and wasn't sweet or seasoned at all. Overall my experience was decent , I'm a regular at this location and plan to continue to be one . read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Two meat plate with corn and Caesar salad - Barbeque Near Me - Waxahachie, Texas

First they only accepted cash. Ribs were so burnt they were inedible. Chopped brisket was all fat. Rolls were tiny, hard, and dry. Jalapeño beans tasted like canned beans. Macaroni and cheese was dry and mashed up. This place used to be good but we were told under new ownership. Will not be back. read more

I ordered a potato with turkey breast ... smh turkey so light and tasteless the turkey is like chewing on something fake I can squeeze it like a marshmallow... this can't be real turkey no bbq smoke or flavor I had to dr this up never again will I ordered the fake turkey from here ... Food quality I asked for extra green onions they smell like they been sitting up for weeks in the refrigerator I asked for a kids traditional 6p wing they sent chicken nuggets with baked beans they taste like they straight out the can....Last time ordering from this establishment.... read more

So gross. I should have walked out when I saw how gross the food was. It looked like it had been sitting in the nasty trays for days The turkey was excessively pink, the beans were seriously gross and the potatoes were a weird color and texture! To top it off the coat was $50 for 2 people to eat nasty food. read more

The food was different this time around. The brisket was dry and burned the bread was like a rock. The bake potato was burned. Our meal was just a no. As much as you spend you would think the quality would be better. read more

Just moved to Waxahachie and thought I would try this place. Bad idea. They were arrogant to a fault and the meat was overcooked and tough. Told them I wouldn't be back. read more

The rolls weren't cooked all the way. The baked beans taste terrible, mashed potatoes have something green in them and it's not green onion. The ribs have a foul taste. Stay away from here. read more

This was the worse BBQ I've had. The bread was undercooked, the Mac and cheese was tasteless and runny, and the meat was not fresh, it was dry and cold. The serving try had food on it and it was wet like it was rinsed off and not dried, it was disgusting. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Hear me out- I've never stepped foot in this establishment, nor have I placed an order from Dickeys in Waxahachie- but I recommend this place 100% over Red Oak Dickeys. Why? Simple- customer service you can depend on, thank you especially to Raul! I ordered Thanksgiving dinner from the Red Oak establishment and I got a call on the night of the date I was supposed to pick it up telling me they had to push up my pickup time due to insufficient materials (cool, I understand). I called close to the new pickup time to make sure I had ample time to drive and pick it up after holiday shopping in North Dallas- which they confirmed the 9pm close time. Well- sure enough they called me back at 7:30p saying they were closing at 7:45pm and I had 15min to pick up the order. I was on my way already, stuck in traffic and they said the manager had told everyone to go home. Anyway, fast forward- I called Friday morning after thanksgiving and NO answer. I drove to the red oak establishment and found no one when they said they were going to be OPEN. Instead I found The manager parked outside, who promised me a refund that would take 7-14 days to process (I was ok with that) but 18days later, nothing! Anyway, I've called Red Oak Dickeys- no answer. Then I called Waxahachie Dickeys and they did. In fact, Raul answered and although he couldn't do much for me, he listened, guided me and got me to the right place. Thanks Raul! You're the real one! read more

We enjoy this restaurant. The gentleman who cuts the meat has always been very nice. I'm like others with the comments about the sides looking old sometimes. They will fry you up a fresh basket of okra or onion strings, just ask. What happened to the worker who walked around passing out hot rolls btw?? I always get the tater with brisket, no complaints. I like the bbq sauce. Ribs and Turkey are good. Complimentary ice cream if you have room in your belly. Oh and they have good ranch. I'm a ranch connoisseur. read more

If I could leave no stars I would. I am absolutely livid. So it's a Friday night 7/11/20. We order three two meet specials. We had 5 people who were going to share that. We start eating like we normally do we split up some of the food among ourselves. We've been to this location dozens of times. Well about 3 minutes into eating I go to pick up a fork full of brisket and I see a thick hair like follicle protruding. Initially Im a bit grossed out but thinking it's maybe a hair but then my common sense kicks in. This hair like follicle is really thick thicker than even a beard hair and it's pretty long. In utter shock I show my family and at that moment I knew this was not a hair but in fact a what looks like a cockroach antenna. After further investigation and showing the family, there is no other explanation other than what it is. We all stand up immediately and start gagging my wife is now running to the bathroom to throw up and we are all just unbelievably grossed out. We have obviously stopped eating and I start to call the restaurant. I ask to speak to the manager. (My first Karen moment) I tell her what just happened, all she say is, "oh, really?" " Do you want us to switch out the food?" Honestly at this point we have all lost our appetites so we don't want to even eat. I tell her, "no we just want a refund." She says "ok just bring us the food." So we pack up as much food as we can get ourselves to and leave. This is where the story gets worst. They start examining the food and come back and In a laughing manner say where is "all" the food. I tell her that we packed up as much as we could quickly. At this point I really don't understand why we're even being questioned instead of being begged for forgiveness and being apologized to. The butchers in the background are laughing. I ask her can we just get our refund and go. She says no you can talk to my manager. THE MANAGER ISNT EVEN TAKING CARE OF US. Finally she calls the manager and she comes to the window and tells us that this cockroach antenna is a sausage casing. So now brisket has sausage casing like WTF. Anyway we tell them we want a refund regardless. And she says because we didn't bring all the food and because that's "not a cockroach antenna" we will not get a refund. Well we say ok well you can either get our refund and leave peacefully or we will leave reviews online with pictures to let YOU the internet decide. Well sorry to gross you out but here are the pictures you decide if we're crazy. Oh and we didn't get refunded. Instead we got laughed at and argued with. So Dickeys here you go. read more

We went for dinner at this Dickey's. Both brisket and turkey was cold., along with the turkey being dried out. They served pork and beans, not baked beans listed. We've been to this Dickeys's before, it was better back then. We will not be back. This meal was not worth the $$ we paid! read more

Brisket is amazing!! Staff is friendly and extremely helpful, gives great suggestions! Price is good and atmosphere is perfect for a large family or dinner for 1. Toni is amazing and checked on me to make sure I was satisfied with everything. Highly recommend!! read more

Stopped at dickeys on our way through waxahachie because we were craving bbq. The brisket I ordered was very juicy and tasty. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich which looked delicious drowning in sauce. I tried the mac and cheese and green beans on the side and they were pretty good too. read more

The customer service is always willing to help. The environment is also very family friendly.

Food was delicious , outstanding, service was fast and excellent, would definitely recommend family and friends friendly atmosphere , thumbs up read more

Perfectly acceptable barbecue and a wide array of sides. It's cafeteria style, which is good because I would have hated to tip the bored teenagers who work there. If you want barbecue in Waxahachie get to Leon's or Harris barbecue. This isn't bad but there are two great places just down the road apiece. read more

Went at 2 on a Monday. Meat was cold, out of "free" bread, out of "free" ice cream, out of jalapeños, got the dregs of barbecue sauce. It may be good at lunch time, but apparently when lunch is over it's over. Sad. Had heard good things. Won't be back. read more

We will only eat at this Dickey's if we use their buy one get one coupon. The beef is just ok. Many times the vegetables and sides are old looking like tonight. Could be a good place to eat if the ownership would start looking after the restaurant and the food. read more

Good food. Always have very good service. A nice place to take your family to a filling dinner.

This is THE worst Dickey's ever! I've been to many of their establishments across Texas, and if you like Dickey's, bypass this one, or it will ruin your whole perception of their service. Worst food and service I've ever received from a Dickey's and I've been frequenting them for over 20 years! Extremely disappointed and the employees didn't seem to interested in making it right. read more

Arrived just before scheduled close on our way to Waco. We, being from Missouri, were attempting to meet up with my Brother and his wife who were on the way to Waco as well and had landed at DFW from PDX. The team offered to stay open for us, and proceeded to provide first class service that almost surpassed the food and the variety of offerings. Excellent service, food and hospitality. read more

The Catfish is the S#%t! I'm telling you it's probably the best I have ever had! Being a Catholic I have been eating fish on Fridays during lint for quite some time and have become accustomed to mediocre catfish, however this is most certainly the exception. Thanks Dickeys your hand battered, house made fish fry has made my day! Rock On!! read more

We eat at this Dickey's a lot because it's a good location to meet up with friends, and the food is ok. We like the half-chicken but it's not available often. The regular chicken has too much BBQ sauce on it. The sausage is good, but the brisket can be iffy. NEVER get the chopped brisket or it will be nothing but fat globs and hard edges. The baked potatoes are usually big and there is an assortment of toppings for them. They are nearly always out of fried okra but the workers will make some if we ask and they always bring a big basket to our table. The cobbler is good, if you can get a scoop with peaches in it. Often it's just crust and filling. The rolls used to be wonderful, but the Dickey's corp. changed the recipe (in 2013 from what I gather from a news release) and now they are a little tough. Probably keeps people from eating more than one though. Most of the people working here are friendly. read more

Great friendly service and good quality food. Good for the family and great place to hang with friends and watch the ball game.

Great melt in your mouth pulled pork sandwich and sides. The BBQ sauce has just the right kick. Realized I didn't have my wallet when I went to pay and the staff was very, very gracious and allowed us to enjoy our meal before we ran back to the hotel to pay. That's great service and a reason to return! read more

Great place to get good BBQ! friendly staff, quick with a nice selection of side item to serve yourself from. Seat wherever you want, nice booths or long family tables. A complete meal with drink for less than $10. Bring the family or enjoy a quick meal while on the road. read more

Went one time in my lunch break food was cold bread was hard I wanted a dr pepper and I had to change my drink out cause it was flat. The customer service wasn't the best.
