Dickie's BBQ

Looks like they are going to open a Dickie's BBQ in the Arlington Marketplace in the old Crave space. Any of you ever eaten at Dickie's and how is it if you have?

Its ok. Not great. But ok for ‘on the go bbq’.
The one in Metairie on Causeway & Vets has a lunch special for a bbq sandwich, big drink (yellow cup), 2 sides, and all you can eat soft serve ice cream for $11, which is a good deal. Not sure if this is done at all locations.

I like it just fine. Meat is usually good, nothing bad to say. Sides are also good especially the onion strings.
It’s not mind blowing but good for what it is.

There are a ton in DFW and as said, it is ok. If you go off hours it is not good at all but during rush hour times like lunch it's not bad.
If you go on your birthday and sign up for their app you get a free pulled pork sandwich

3.2 out of 5. Good not great. Nothing to get excited over. The menu is what you would expect from a BBQ joint. Nothing stands out but it's not the worst BBQ in Texas.

I like Dickies just fine. If you gauge price vs quality and perceived value, IMO it would rate higher than many of the well-known places, where the prices have gone sky high.
I know many here never consider food cost at all when they eat out. If you are one of those, your opinion likely differs on the value of going to one place vs another.
Not saying that is wrong or bad, Just saying that is close to fact.
added comment - 95% of the time, I get my BBQ from my Pit at home. I like it as much and often more than the best places I have ever eaten. Maybe that puts me in the "doesn't count" opinion group.
edited again: Most of my Dickies experience is buying a bulk order and sharing it with my wife to control carb intake when we were Keto dieting. DOing that, you can buy a half pound and eat it in the truck with no sauce, for almost no carbs. Doing that works great for us.
I buy ribs pretty much the same as pulled pork (NO sauce - boxed to go) I do not buy them at dickies, but from a local gas station that sells them cut and sold as however many bones you want. When I want whole racks, I cook my own and find them superior to restaurant offerings.

There is no appreciable difference between Dickie's and Crave. Basically prison or cafeteria food.

Our company used to cater lunch from a nearby Dickies. I always thought it was decent, especially the chicken. Not spectacular, not so great I spent my dime on it, but better than say, Sonny's.

I've bought the baws that work at the paper mill in Canton, NC Dickey's bbq more times than I can count. Would spend a grand or so each time. They tore that shite up. It's pretty decent at that location, but in my experience Dickey's varies wildly depending on which on you go to. Some are really bad...

Ate at a Dickies BBQ in Tulsa and one I think it was Houstons airport a couple of times. It's always been good.

The company I retired from used Dickie's several times for company employee events. They always did a good job.

This isn’t true at all. Dickie’s isn’t the best BBQ I’ve ever had but like someone said earlier it’s solid for the price. I’ve used them multiple times to cater work lunches and have had no complaints. I have no idea how Crave stayed open more than a few months.

I ate at the Metry location once when they first opened and I was like, ehh. For the purpose of science, I ordered a 3 meat and will update later today.

1/5
everything was dry. Not sure how long it was pulled. Their website says they use am offset but I asked and it's an indoor electric.
Ribs prob the best thing.
I ate about half and threw it out.

It's very mid. It's ok if you don't have other options
I only go there if I'm out of state traveling for work and want to grab a quick breakfast at DFW or in the middle of nowhere Texas

I had Dickies twice once was fine for what it is. The second, inedible. And I am not picky.
