Being the first time there I made the mistake of ordering over $130 worth of food. Oh did I regret it. Though most of that order was brisket and sausage, it still took over an hour to get my order (brisket and 3 hamburgers plain) and we were the only ones in there. Really hope that this isn't typical, but I can't say that I'll be back to see.

We had the chopped brisket sandwich, coleslaw and a rack of ribs. The brisket was excellent, moist,…read morewith the right amount of smoke ring and fat. The sandwich was on a nondescript bun, but that didn't take anything away from the meat. The sauce provided on the side was mild but flavorful. The coleslaw was delicious, and was a good compliment to the sandwich. The pork ribs weren't that bad, but seemed a bit dry, and were more expensive than I thought they'd be. I'll be back to try their sausage and potato salad next time. This is. Take out only place. And they do take credit cards.

This was my first visit to Rickey's and it was off the chain good. I had some ribs, smoked sausage…read moreand their baked beans and it was amazing. The ribs were fall off the bone tender with a visible smoke ring, the glaze had a hint of spice, I guess from the BBQ sauce. Both the ribs and sausage had a good smoke flavor but not overdone. The baked beans have a slight sweetness and it pairs very well with the meats. We do not have anything near this good in Longview I will definitely be back.

We ate here prior to going to our boat tour on Caddo lake. The restaurant is in the heart of…read moreJefferson City. There is free street parking and on a Sunday it was not hard to find. The restaurant is very simple. There is nothing fancy about the ambience at all. It's just downhome country. You order at the register and then grab a table. We got there just before the after church Sunday rush so we were able to find a table easily. Shortly after we got our food, the line was out the door. The food came very quickly. They call your name and bring the food to the table. I had a two meat platter with turkey and brisket. The turkey was tender and just slightly smoky. The brisket was excellent. I forgot to ask for lean like I usually do but the brisket was not overly fatty. The meat was very smoky, very tender, and very flavorful. The portion was generous for $18. I would guess half a pound of each meat (?) The sauce on the table is a bit sweet and tangy. The BBQ beans were excellent. The potato salad was good but needed salt. We all enjoyed our meal. Even the kid, who is super picky, ate a bunch of brisket. It was a good choice and I definitely would eat here again if we came to Jefferson City.

This place looks fun from the outside and a bit dicey on the inside, but the line told me I was in the right place. It was almost back to the door when I walked in, but it moved quickly. Seating is pretty limited, especially for a party of one or two as most tables have 5-6 places. Everybody was so friendly. I think I could've asked to sit down if I wanted to, but I went ahead and got my order to go. The menu seems pretty reasonable with baskets and platters between $10 and $18. A lot of reviews seem to talk about the Swamp Fries, so I had to get a small order of those. I also got the sliced Brisket sandwich with a side of onion rings. The brisket barbecue is served dry but has a good smoke right on it and good flavor by itself, but they give you plenty of barbecue sauce to add to it. That's exactly what I did along with some pickles to make my sandwich taste just right . The Swamp Fries are wonderful with fresh FF, smothered in chopped brisket, shredded cheese, and sliced jalapeños. There's no way I could've eaten a large so I'm glad even though it was just two dollars more I decided to opt for the smaller portion and still had leftovers to take home. Overall, really good food definitely worth a stop in.

I feel I owe it to my fellow barbecue enthusiasts to say that this is NOT the place to get barbecue. Support local business by stopping by for a bite, maybe a burger or fried chicken, or the excellent crab cakes -- just don't go here for barbecue.
