    Just got back from Dickey's Barbecue Pit at Murrayhill. I used to go here all the time, and the food is usually pretty good. However, the prices have gone up substantially, and I had some concerns about sanitary practices on a previous visit, so it's been a couple of years since I've been there. But I had a coupon, so I thought I would try them again. On today's visit, I ordered 1/2 pound of Chicken ($12.49), 1/2 pound of Pulled Pork ($10.49), 1/2 pound of Jalapeño Kielbasa ($11.49), and a "large" (less than a pint) Mac and Cheese ($7.99). When I got home, the portions seemed pretty small, and I wondered if I had gotten a half pound of each of the meats. Fortunately, I do a lot of mailing and have a postal scale. So, I weighed each of the meats, and they were all well short of a 1/2 lb. I assume most people know that a 1/2 pound is 8 ounces, but at least 2 of the 3 young Dickey's employees were not aware of that fact, so I thought it might need mentioning here. (More on that later). The chicken was 5.7 ounces, the sausage was 6.4 ounces, and the pork was 5.9 ounces. So I called the store. I explained the situation. I mentioned, "You do know a 1/2 pound is 8 ounces, right?" Dustin, the guy who answered the phone, said, "No, it's not. It's 6 ounces." I said, "No - a pound is 16 ounces, a 1/2 pound is 8 ounces." Now, keep in mind that Dustin wasn't the one who sliced the meat. It was a young lady with semi-bleached hair (I didn't get her name.) So I'm assuming that she also thinks a 1/2 pound is six ounces. I'm hoping this was an honest mistake, but I'm not sure it was. It seems odd that at least two of the three employees think a 1/2 pound is 6 ounces. I also tried to reach out to the owners to talk to them before leaving a negative review, but it appears that they now live out of state. The local business has let its business license lapse, and several other Dickey's franchisees have filed for bankruptcy, citing challenges with the franchise model. Combined with my sanitary concerns that I won't get into here (it was about three years ago), I don't think I'll be coming back.

    This is a hard review. The food is blah however the service is good. The staff is attentive, very helpful and was there to answer questions if asked. When we walked in we were politely greeted and had a good conversation with the guy making the sandwiches. Unfortunately, that's where the good stops. The bread on the sandwich is thick and dry. The beat had no flavor at all. I never encountered barbecue that could not have the smoke flavor. The green beans had some spices and were cooked nicely. The red beans were cooked soft however the flavor was in the juices, which means the beans were not slow cooked. Sorry, I will not be back.

    Did a takeout so can't really speak to the dining experience. Southern bbq food was bomb! Brisket, sausage, chicken, sides all full of flavor. Quick service from time we ordered to time we picked up.

    Food~We started with an appetizer Avocado Fingers (actually wedges) they were really good (w/a very…read moreyummy sauce). Menu has a lot of excellent choices (it was hard to decide). I got the Pork & Pineapple (comes w/ bacon and basil) (I substituted my bacon for fresh sliced tomatoes). It looked good enough to eat (but, I definitely didn't taste as good and, I wouldn't get it again and, the topping slid right off)! The way it was described verses the way it was prepared I give it a 0/5 (I thought if it set for a minute it would get better forgot the basil so it was thrown on after it was cooked)! The Beef Stroganoff was delicious and the chose of noodles really brought the dish together. Chicken Avocado Swiss (it should have been a veggie burger (literally) the chicken was so thin and, it was way too much bread. Their drinks were really good as well. Service~First Timers~I wanted to view photos and reviews but, my husband wanted to really try it anyways (but, for some reason they block your WiFi allow you to connect to theirs and, it still didn't work). Our waitress was very nice, attentive, and, helpful with recommendations. I should've created my own pizza but, I like to try it the way it's presented if It's my first time trying an establishment. Ambiance~It gives sport bar vibes (huge bar w/ seating and a few tvs) (It's a very clean, and a really nice restaurant inside and out. It's outside seating and, plenty of parking (it's located in a very large strip mall w/ tons of other shops and eateries). I would like to give this restaurant another try in the near future but, I do recommend it.

I ordered the barbacoa tacos and they were delicious! Substantial portions and came with a tasty rice on the side. I also had a beer on tap and was impressed by the diverse list of options. The best part of the experience was the service from Kennedy as a quality member of the Ridge team. Kennedy was very attentive and friendly throughout our visit! At one point, Kennedy offered our party an extra pour of spirits that was accidentally made by the bar staff. It was comped so that it wouldn't go to waste... what a thoughtful, very unexpected gesture! Thanks Kennedy I had a phenomenal first visit that left a very strong impression related to service and food. I'll definitely be back!

My reason for showing up was to sample their chili which, according to them is amazing. Meh. Talk is cheap. No stars off for the misleading marketing but if amazing chili is your thing, pass this place by. Scottys claims their chili is amazing. It's above average (average in Portland is disgustingly lousy) but far from amazing. It's spicy and has lots of meat, which makes it above [PDX] average. But it's served on a large but very shallow bowl so the portion is very stingy. It was also barely warm so a big minus for that. If it was served in a massive sized bowl, *HOT*, with a basket of saltines that weren't previously pulverized by who knows how many previous diners you might have a contender. Sorry Scottys but your chili is a long way from amazing. Other than that, bartender was fine. Prices were reasonable. No complaints about staff or the venue. Not especially my kind of place so doubtful I will ever become a regular. But it has dark, intimate corners to bring a date and a few large windows if you like it bright while you imbibe. They do run regular specials and the special today looked pretty good except that I was there specifically to sample their chili. Perhaps you should make mac and cheese your signature dish, Scottys?

Calling this place a dive bar would be a compliment.
