I have eaten a lot of different BBQ and this place is a go-to for lunch. The service is prompt, and the food is served quickly. Had the brisket which was moist and not dry like a lot of other spots in the area. The green beans are very peppery. Staff is hit or miss as far as friendliness, but we all have our days. Overall they have been pleasant. The restaurant is small, but we have not had any issue finding a place to sit. read more

We are fans of the Dickeys franchise and always stop if we see one on our travels. I have to say, this location wasn't as good as most. The meats just weren't the same. The brisket especially just wasn't really cooked correctly. Tasted more like roast beef than brisket and was cut in thick chunks which was odd. Pulled pork was pretty good but had no bark at all. Also, no fryers for fries, okra, etc. No ice cream machine. Huge tears there. On the plus side, the interior is one of the nicest Dickeys I've been to and the people were nice. read more

The ambiance and service was great. But the food was just okay. The beef brisket was okay nothing special. The jalapeño cheese sausage good, the collard greens good but the Mac and cheese wasn't good it was kind of flavorless. The cornbread was good. The restaurant was cute with a good selection of sauces. Everything was good about except for the Mac and cheese really. Prices were decent also. I say still come try it out. read more

My wife and I have eaten here many times. I have always considered the food and service to be very good. Two weeks ago we had take out. I got my normal 3 meat plate. All the food was so salty we ended up throwing it all out. At this point we are reluctant to go back again. read more

My family and I stopped by Dickey's in Albemarle yesterday for lunch after a road trip to visit my great-grandmother's grave. We were pretty hungry and couldn't wait to see what was on the menu. Let me just say that we definitely found a place that knows its barbeque. The pulled pork had a good temperature & was very tender. The sweet BBQ sauce tasted so good! I would absolutely recommend it. The mashed potatoes & Mac n' cheese were tasty. I wish there had been a few healthier sides available for those of us watching our weight, but these were still good. The flavor of the Texas toast was a little disappointing, but the bread was well toasted, if not somewhat under-whelming. Should we find outmrselves back in Albemarle, we'll be back! read more

My family and i traveling and spotted this place. I love some bbq so we stopped. the inside was cool. just not what i expected. the wait wasnt long at at. Actually the food came out while we was getting our drinks. That really surprised me because that was pretty quick. Now lets get into the cold food that was served. My Brisket was a bunch of scraps. Only Thing that was good was the Jalapeno Sausage even tho it was very spicy. Then it had the nerve to be 76$ read more

Had a small catering order. Ordered at roughly 11:30am to be picked up at 4:30. The food was almost inedible. They had stuffed everything in a food warmer and it tasted like it had been there since 11:30. Brisket was dry, pulled pork was crunchy. We had 20 guests and they were all disappointed. When I walked in to pick up the order, a female (manager I presume) was sitting in the corner with headphones on. Nobody else was in the store and it took her a minute to actually come to the counter. I told her I had a catering order. She just started yelling at all the workers to find my food. It was a young man's first day and she continued to yell at him and bark orders for things he had obviously not been trained for. She was rude and completely incompetent for her position. The guy whose first day it was had more of a grasp than her and was very polite. I run a grading business and considered offering him a job on the spot because I couldn't work for that dreadful manager. Dickeys, you guys can do better. I don't expect much but this food and experience is below sub par. You only get 1 star for the new guy. read more

Just had Dickeys BBQ for the first time with 3 others. I had the pulled pork plate with 2 sides. It was delicious! Everyone enjoyed the food they ordered. Iced tea was fresh! Really fast and friendly service. A great place to eat! read more

Great spot in Albermarle area... food was fast and service was friendly. I seem to remember them having banana pudding but that is no longer on the menu. Would definitely go back! read more

Hanging out with my cousin. I ordered the three meat plate and chose chopped brisket, smoked turkey, pulled pork, with two sides of baked beans and a yeast roll. It's barbecue is very mediocre, if that. The brisket was decent. The seasoning on the brisket was good, a tad to much salt but was still good. The sliced turkey I could have done without. It almost tasted like bologna. The pulled pork was overcooked. The pork wasn't pulled but rather smashed together in clumps. The baked beans taste like they was right out the can. Luckily they have a special spicy sauce that was actually really good. I took the spicy sauce and mix it in the baked beans and they turn up pretty good then. The yeast roll was soft and good. read more

Fantastic food and staff!!! Great restaurant. Best BBQ in Albemarle The management is top notch! Always a great dining experience each and every time we go! read more

Worst BBQ I have ever had, my neighbor went to pick up a 3 meat meal for myself and a neighbor due to my health I b was unable to go, I got chicken, beef and pork, the beef was dry and I mean dry, the pork was ok, the Mac and Cheese was ok, but for $40 you would have expected better, no I don't suggest you or anyone that want a good BBQ meal to visit here, maybe because of the COVID-19 theirs quality of food have slip, fo hope they improve for with my health being handicap I hate wasting money and with some of the issues I got medically I got be careful of my choices of food but that it for me at this location read more

Nice food they have it out fast and the staff are really friendly totally recommended

So I've never been here before today. As a matter of fact I don't even eat BBQ that often but this place was great. There aren't a whole lot of options around for BBQ and this place was great. I read some other reviews and honestly I have no idea if they are reviewing the right place. My meat was tender and not dry at all (read a review that said detest ever but mine wasn't even dry a little no idea where that came from), the Mac and cheese was delicious. Fresh and hot, almost as good as baked lol. Definitely coming back read more

Very good flavor on the meats, and their BBQ sauces well prepared, highly recommended as another option of fast bite!! read more

Excellent Brisket, tender, juicy just perfect! Excellent customer service too! Great find for our family! read more

Good barbeque in Albemarle. Nice friendly service. Would have given 5 stars, but they had a limited meat selection due to being out of chicken, turkey and pork and out of spinach. Who comes to a barbeque restaurant to order spinach?! Me, of course, I have a knack for ordering items not available. The brisket was very tender with execellant flavor and the jalapeno cheese sausage was very good and not too spicy. The ribs were fall of the bone tender and already sauced. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy. Another good point, their health score us 100! read more

Terrible!!!! First of all, don't expect them to have ribs cooked... The brisket sandwich was served to us cold... The Brisket Frito plate had maybe 2-3 tablespoons of meat on it--cold as well. When you pay for your food, the cashier waits for you to choose a tip..:A TIP FOR WHAT? You couldn't hear us...you didn't even have ribs...You brought our food out without the sides....Won't return to Dickeys in Albemarle and if you're smart you won't bother either..We left hungry---unsatisfied and very disappointed. read more

Probably not bad if you are in an area with little competition. Definitely second seat to Whispering Pines or Log Cabin. Portion size is small and overpriced. The selection of sides is good but their quality is average. read more

Ordered to go and gave me 3 water cups that were the tiny clear plastic ones with no lids and than said they ran out of sweet tea handing me a big yellow cup which was already paid for only filled half way up. disappointed! read more

While a little pricey, Dickey's is one of the best "meat and sides" type of restaurants I've been to! I always get the sliced chicken breast and it's marinated perfectly, juicy and flavorful. Feeling extra healthy? Get it as a topper for a Cesar salad! The sides are also amazing! My husband loves their mac & cheese and the green beans taste like what your grandma makes! All in all, we are never disappointed after a trip to Dickey's! read more

Food is meh, would not recommend if you want good bbq. Sides taste like they are pre made instead of made from scratch, and the bbq is flavorless. If you do happen to come, I would recommend the chicken because it is the only thing that has any taste read more

My sweetheart and I ate a meal here fresh cooked and fresh cut meats with mac and cheese and i cant even remember what else OH I KNOW WE HAD SWEETS & sweet TEA met the owner he was awesome and very informative. Thanks for the YELLOW CUP ! Truly enjoyed our visit. read more

I will start by saying the pork ribs were very tender and almost fell off the bone. The brisket was above average and is typical Texas style brisket. The pork bbq on the other hand was in my opinion, nasty. It was mushy, and had absolutely no taste. The bbq beans, mac n cheese, slaw and potato casserole were basic and institutional. Don't know if I would ever bother eating here again. read more

Excellent food and great service. Enjoyed the variety of sauces ad my side's were delicious.

Clean and nice modern decorated restaurant. Staff was friendly. However the food was terrible. Tasted like it was smoked on cheap industrial wood scrap rather than high quality hardwood. Had a metalic and bitterness to the smoke flavor. Meat did not have the proper texture, nor flavor like it was smoked way too fast. I would not recommend anyone wanting to eat barbecue to try this place when you are in the heart of good barbecue country. read more

The food is good! It's just not the best barbecue place in Albemarle! I would definitely still go eat lunch there just wouldn't be my first choice. The variety of their barbecue is what draws me back... read more

this place is amazing and very underrated. their food is great and the place is very clean. the workers are extremely nice and just hands down a great place to eat they will not disappoint you. Baked Potato Casserole was my favorite it was so good and the smoked chicken sandwich was awesome as well. and me personally i do not like barbecue but my boyfriend loves it, so they were awesome about having other things besides barbecue! read more
