First time at Dickey’s was pleasantly surprised it’s not what you’d expect from a small restaurant. The staff were very friendly, the food was great. We had bone in chicken wings French fries and okra two drinks. Not the smokiest meat but good, the fries were tasty and the okra. We will be back to try other dishes soon.
The food was done fast and it was really good! We placed a pick up order this evening, after driving for around 5 hours today and still having further to go. Me, my husband, and the two toddlers all loved it. There was a bit of confusion on my end about the Carolina sauce (in North Carolina where I’m from, Carolina sauce isn’t mustard based, it’s a vinegar base) but all 3 workers we interacted with tonight were super helpful and nice. Great customer service!! -Jasmine Thomas
Nice go to place for solid bbq. Wife her usual pulled pork sandwich and had plenty of choices for sauce. I tried the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and it breast was nice and juicy. It has a very friendly atmosphere with a decor that gives is a sense of history.
Excellent as always! I've been to a couple different Dickey's in different states and I've always loved the food and menu options. This location was exceptionally well! Service was fast, order was 100% correct. A little messy, but isn't every BBQ joint?
Me and my mom stopped here on our day trip to Rolla to pick up some flooring. We came from STL. The food was so good, the bun was toasted perfectly. I got pulled pork and she got brisket. The potato salad was amazing as well as the beans. The place was so pretty on the inside and I LOVED how decorated it is! Everyone working was super nice as well. They also have free soft serve ice cream which was also good. If we ever need to come back to this area we are going to stop by again.
Absolutely LOVE this place. The food and service is amazing everything I go or place an online order. And 8 have never gone in once and the bathrooms were dirty, Always clean!!
They don't serve the same quality every time I go there. I got very hard dinner rolls, to the point I couldn't even eat them. Sometimes I get plates full of meat and others I get a very minimal amount. Usually I get something missing from my order, so make sure to count all items before leaving their location. Overall, the taste is awesome despite that they are not keeping the same quality every time.
This is a good Dickie's BBQ Service was quick, and all of the food was tasty, including the sides. It's not cheap, but it is quick and a higher quality than most fast food restaurants.
