Dickey’s Barbecue Pit (Oviedo, Homestead & Miami Lakes)
Dickey’s Barbeque Pit
Dickey’s is a “fast-food” bbq joint…order at the counter/pickup at the counter. Dickey’s is a national chain with locations all over the United States. You can check its website www.dickeys.com for menu/prices/locations.
Lucky for us Floridians…Dickey’s for right now–only has 1-Florida location, that being in Oviedo, Florida. Last week I ate at a Dickey’s in Dallas, Texas and the food was borderline-horrendous. I tried the pulled pork, bbq ribs, bbq chicken…absolute crap. Not…going to bore you with the gory details, but just imagine a drumstick made of corrugated cardboard with the heaviest smoked-smell imaginable
Forewarned is Forearmed…Dickey’s website indicates that “new” Dickey’s Barbecue Pits will soon be opening in Homestead and Miami Lakes.
Wow, I don’t believe this at all! Dickey’s is a favorite here in TX and they’re popular for a reason – the food is good. It’s not 5-star cuisine, but it’s good. I’ve certainly never had ‘borderline-horrendous’ food there. Some of the franchises vary in quality, but Dickey’s doesn’t deserve this hate.
Kevin: Three weeks ago I was in the Dallas Airport. The gate I was leaving from was right near a Dickey’s location. I asked a Delta representative where to eat and she told me “definitely not” Dickey’s. Despite this warning I tried Dickey’s and boy o boy is Jeff right. The chicken was like eating a rubber chicken. The corn had no taste. I don’t know if the airport location is typical of what Dickey’s is all about but this was bad news. Based on that meal I wouldn’t go back to a Dickey’s in a million years.
I am surprised that a place like that can survive in dallas where they know good bbq when they see it! I think I have seen the sirport location. Kevins comments almost look like he is connected to the company. I wonder if you just got a bad meal. However the comments from beth seem interesting. We had a number of bbq joints flop here in south fl. That place in coral springs was supposed to be rolling out a ton of locations. Tony Romas and Bobby Rubinos are mostly kaput.
hey jeff, park ave ribs just opened a new store in boca where buckys use to be, same interior, but the food is great. hope they make it, but its a tough location at glades rd and dixie hwy.
