I always enjoy eating BBQ at Dickeys. I saw the other reviews about them running out of food items, but have never had this experience myself. I have visited this particular Dickeys four times at different times and they have always had what I was in the mood for, well Turkey and Spicy Sausage. Yeah, I order the same damn thing each time, I know what I like. I always add the macaroni and cheese and green beans with bacon. I have always been greeted as soon as I walk through the door and have received my food quickly. The eating area has plenty of elbow room, two TVs, and is clean. This location is smaller than others, so pick and choose your arrival time carefully. Their food is not cheap, but I have eaten worse BBQ and paid more for it. I will return again and again - keep serving chunks of meat! Oh, they have soft serve as well. read more

Look - I want to like this place. I've been here twice (and once in another state, which was a better experience). An immediate drop in rating is having flies buzzing around when you walk in, but I wanted BBQ pulled pork, damnit! The place just seems a little dirty. Huge turnoff. As for the food - I really like the sweet BBQ sauce. Can't get enough. The pulled pork is OK (I make better pork at my house), but the biggest disappointment is the baked beans. A bit on the spicy side for me, and just not very good. That's half the meal when you sit and eat BBQ. And it's not good. Aside from the sauce, the only other positive is burning a few extra calories shoeing away the flies the last time I was there. Probably will not return. read more

Great service! Personable staff very helpful. Love the frito pie and kids the brisket

We purchased a 3 meat plate to go. They gave us a to go bag and read off the contents. 3 meat plate. We get home, 20 minutes from the location, to find 2 pulled pork sandwiches instead of the 3 meat plate. We took photos of the wrong food and called them repeatedly but the phone line is constantly busy so I decided to write this review. read more

Well the good things to say will be short. TheGood: I am done and won't be back. Now the bad and ugly: I walk in at lunch and it's not very busy. 3 groups in front of me total of 10 people. It took 15-20 minutes to get to my order. The staff seemed very disorganized. There was very limited seating. So don't expect a seat. They did say that there is a plan to enclose the outdoor area but it wasn't done. The girl at the register was less then friendly. I finally get a seat and the area around the table and table it's self were filthy. The chairs move around like your on a cruise ship with 20ft waves. The pulled pork had way to much pepper on it as did the fries. I love pepper by the way. read more

My husband and I enjoy coming to Dickey's for bbq sandwiches. Always courteous, always delicious!

The young blonde kid was rude when we ordered and asked for more dressing. And our pulled pork was cold. Not coming back.

Very run down. Food was not hot. There was not one clean table at 2 pm. They were empty but dirty. No sign on the womens bathroom. Some of the menu items weren't available. The entire place was dirty and the ice cream machine was broke. The coke machine only dispensed water read more

It was fine, but nothing to write home about. Had the brisket, green beans and potato salad. The staff was personable and friendly and seemed to be having a good time. The best part about this place though is the self-serve soft serve ice cream. Life is short - eat dessert first! That's what we did anyway. read more

Ordered 1/2 lb of brisket to take home with baked potatoes. At least half of brisket wasn't even edible. Horrible food. Green beans (which I love under normal circumstances). Not worth your time or money. read more

Don't waste your time, money or gas. Poor customer service, poor management and less than poor food. Went to this location on 5/18/20. Ordered 1/4 pound of chopped chicken. Only to find out when I opened the box that it was cold, dried out, stale and not edible. Took it back inside to have a replacement with fresh chicken only to be told that "this is what the supplier gave us and just told us to sell it." The employee said he would get me something else so I chose turkey. Had one bite of rubbery, watery turkey and threw it away. This location used to be great, but will not be back. read more

I like this Dickeys and I'm from Wyoming so Iv been to many. The food is tasty, I really like their lemonade too! A couple of times Iv come in the mac n cheese has been a little cold, but today I came in and it was delicious! It didn't take long to get my food, and the guy who checked me out was incredibly nice and carried my food to my table because I was holding my baby. I would definitely come back, and mostly because of the guy who had such great customer service! He was so polite to everyone in there.. didn't catch his name but he was wearing a black shirt and told me he had a 6 year old son. read more

Just received out order via door dash. No BBQ sauce was delivered. Called and the person told us the manager packed the order himself and was certain the BBQ sauce was in there. It was not there! We believe in supporting the restaurants in our current situation however this is the third time ordering for delivery and not getting what we ordered. These restaurants need to pick it up and provide better customer service if they want to survive. read more

We stop by a few times a month after swim practice. The food is always great and the service is spectacular-friendly and helpful!

I don't know if this is how they usually treat customers or if the virus has effected their spirt but the service I received was awful I have never received the attitude I received by the two male behind the counter. Hopefully someone can speak to them about this issue that has occurred several times read more

I waited in line for 20 minutes only to be told that they were out of ribs! I cannot believe that a rib place would ever run out of ribs that's like a bank running out of money. To me that's totally unacceptable, I will not be going back to dickies again. read more

The chicken is seriously so gross. I expected smoked bone in chicken. Instead the sweet girl pulled out a boneless skinless breast that resembled a "chicken breast" from a fast food restaurant with those pretend grill marks on it. I asked if it was really smoked and she said yes but I swear this is identical to what you would get on a fast food salad. The okra is very good. The potato salad is very heavy on the mustard for me. Wish I could have seen it before ordering. I would have gotten a different side as I like mine a little more half and half mustard mayo. Overall way overpriced for the quality. Would probably never come here again and definitely will never pay for this chicken again. Really want to go ask for my money back on the chicken. I'm not even sure it's cooked enough to safely eat. Any BBQ place worth its salt should have real silverware. Plastic silverware doesn't properly cut real meat. Ol' Dickey's doesn't need to worry about that though. Their meat is nasty. read more

See all

We have eaten here 5 or 6 times. Each time we were hoping it would get better. While the wait times have gotten better and they seem to have some trained staff the food is subpar. Dry BBQ and all the sides are always cold and tasteless. Their free "ice cream" is ice water with a few drops of milk and sugar thrown in. I feel sorry for the staff here they're always sweaty and harassed looking. We've been in a couple of times when the equipment wasn't working. I've been in other Dickies and the set up seems to be better as well as the food. I'd have to say that this is probably a result of the owner manager. No more chances. read more

I mean seriously, how hard is it to make a sandwich correctly? The last 3 times I have been to this Dickeys they have left the standard toppings off of my sandwich. I get home, open the bag, and there it is.... two pieces of bread with some meat slapped on it. Get it together Dickey's! read more

It isn't great but it isn't bad either. There fore, it is not a choice of mine when we go out. Portions are small, and I'm not a fan of their side dishes. My dad loves this place, but he's pretty easily satisfied when it comes to bbq. There are much better places to eat in CR. read more

Meh! The food was below average and i wouldn't return. Was pretty, pretty, pretty unsatisfied. The staff was nice but the food, not so much. Did I mention the food was meh? read more

My pulled pork sandwich was good, nothing to write home about. The mac & cheese is gross. Basically over cooked noodles swimming in velveta cheese. As someone else mentioned, flies are a problem. If the flies were gone, I'd probably come back when I'm in the area and want some quick BBQ. read more

I'm a big fan of Dickey's BBQ and their turkey is fantastic. Before they built one in Castle Rock, I would regularly eat at the Dickey's off of Arapahoe. After a long day yesterday, I decided that instead of going out of my way to get to the Dickey's off of Arapahoe, I would try the Dickey's down in Castle Rock. Big mistake. As mentioned, I'm a big fan of the turkey. Guess what they had ran out of. Yup, you guessed it - the turkey. Fine, I enjoy some of Dickey's other offerings, so after waiting about 10 minutes (there was literally nobody else in the restaurant), I walked out with a to go box of their brisket. Upon arriving home to start eating said brisket, I open the box and realize this meat looks pretty dry. So, with a healthy dousing of BBQ sauce, I take my first bite. I nearly choked on the stuff it was so dry. I really cannot emphasize enough just how dry the stuff was. I've eaten beef jerky that was more tender than the brisket I got from Dickey's! Needless to say, I will never be back here. read more

We decided to try Dickey's again and why not Sunday, since it's "Kids Eat Free" day. What a joke!!! We ordered the kids meals (they take the longest to decide, and have the "shortest" menu selection. When done, I began ordering mine - until..... I was told they have NO RIBS - they're all in the smoker!! Really? On a "Sunday", about 1 pm, no ribs and he said NO RIBS for the DAY!!!! How do you have a new restaurant that actually looks decent (compared to the Dickey's on Arapahoe - which really doesn't say much, since I've seen cleaner portable potties). that doesn't have RIBS to serve? We immediately canceled the kids orders and left.... Still can't believe it... Does the owner know he had NO RIBS available on a SUNDAY???!!! Anyway - we were determined and went to the one on Arapahoe - they had ribs. We should have been forewarned and just gone to Famous Dave's. Never disappointed there.... read more

We love Dickey's- great BBQ at a reasonable price, the staff is great, and kids eat free on Sunday!!

Slow!!!! Half an hour late with my call ahead order, with no end in site. The family that walked in after me just left- it would have been faster to walk up and order. Not sure what the point of calling ahead is... I'll try it again when management takes a six-sigma class. read more

Well, I was anxiously waiting on this restaurant to open since I'm familiar with the concept from having lived in TX. I even gave it a couple of weeks to get the "kinks" out before finally arriving for a much anticipated great experience. Well.....much to my disappointment, it was not a good experience. We arrived at 3:30 in the afternoon, hoping to avoid the evening rush. There were only 3 people in line ahead of us and it took forever to order. Very unorganized, not friendly or attentive and the restaurant was very dirty. The meat was good, the baked potato was hard and undercooked. Even the "free" ice cream was not good. Terrible flavor....threw it away.The potato salad was tasteless. They should have trained longer and made sure they knew what they were doing prior to opening for business. We will not be back...... read more

Pretty good food. Quick service. Not a whole lot of seating. However this place needs a good cleaning. The floors are slick in areas and sticky in areas. The drink area is dirty and the ice cream area is sticky with melted ice cream. They should probably move the trash receptacle away from the drink area as well. read more

If this restaurant was in the swing of things in March (per reviewer Megan), they swung back out of in May. I have eaten at a couple of Dickey's BBQ's in the Denver area and found them to be a good meal for quick BBQ. With that in mind, I was pleased to see they were opening on the ever crowded Founders Parkway in Castle Rock. We went last week for dinner and was very disappointed. The line was out the door, the staff was not in any particular hurry and didn't seem to realize they should be. I don't mind lines, when the service is reasonable and I understand getting slammed out of the blue. But that didn't appear to be the situation at all. The chopped brisket sandwich was adequate, and the sides were luke warm. I've their sides to be pretty unremarkable when they were hot! There is just too much competition in the restaurant industry, particulary on Founders, to not be at the top of your game at all times. read more

Now this may not be fair but it is what it is, we just moved here from Austin, Texas where you have world famous Franklin and Salt Lick (not to mention Smitty's, Black's, Kreuz and Chisolm Trail in nearby Lockhart) so we have pretty high standards when it comes to BBQ. However, Dickey's is huge in Dallas so we were fairly confident we'd get some decent fare. We entered Dickey's about 45 minutes before they closed so the fact that they were out of ribs, chicken, both sausage options, and jalapeno beans is not in any way affecting my review of this establishment. In fact, I would be wary if they still had a full selection (a lot of places sell out well before closing anyway). I will first say that the staff is friendly and cheerful which is a huge plus, especially so close to closing time. We purchased the baked beans, brisket, turkey, ham and coleslaw. The highlight of the meal was the baked beans. These are exactly what you'd expect from a seasoned BBQ joint. Deep flavor, sweet and creamy with a hint of smokiness. The spicy BBQ sauce is delicious. I didn't even try the regular. The second best thing we ate was the turkey, it had great smoke flavor and was very tasty, even though it was a bit dry, but again it was the end of the day. From there everything else was very sub-par and disappointing. Shockingly, the brisket was very tough and chewy and the ham was just sad. The slaw tasted like any packaged slaw you can get at a local grocery store, heavy on mayo and sugar. Any righteous Texas BBQ joint has got to nail the brisket, and Dickey's simply missed big time. We will give it another shot so as to not solely judge on one visit so close to closing time so if we are surprised then this review will definitely get updated but so far as GSP would say in his loving French Canadian accent, "I am not impressed with your performance." read more

the quality is average, although i will admit they seem to have either improved their initially long wait times. Grand opening was a disaster but on my most recent visit they seemed to have their act together. Keeping them as a back up to old west (just up the street) for now. They are a little pricy most most bbq places are for some reason so i would consider them inline with the competition read more

Randomly stopped in here for a late dinner on a Tuesday night. Got a turkey sandwich, mac n cheese, fries and ice cream cone. I enjoyed all of it. It's a fun lil touch to get the free ice cream cone. I wanted to take home a plate for my husband and they were out of mac n cheese and potato casserole. read more

I love Dickey's but this one is disappointing and gross. The pulled pork was really fatty and didn't taste fresh like it does at other locations. And the guy who prepared our food didn't remove his gloves to swipe our credit cards, so he got our cards all greasy AND transfered any germs on those cards back to the food he was working on. Ew. read more

neither of the staff members there were wearing masks and were cooking and serving food

I was surprised to find such low ratings for this Dickey's when I looked it up. We went a couple weeks ago and I thought it was very good. The atmosphere was very welcoming, and it smelled like bbq and wood, very comfortable. read more

Good food. Good service. I have never had a problem with them being out of food. My only real complaint is the lack of indoor seating. Kids eat free on Sunday's. read more

As far as BBQ goes they have that down pat! The sides need some work. I like lots of flavor in my mac n cheese and other sides and these seemed a bit bland. But the BBQ pork is spot on! read more

My wife picked us up some their supposed BBQ today and I have never had worse. The brisket was so over cooked and dry. The sauce was just okay but couldn't help that almost jerky like brisket. She also brought home sausage that must be seasoned with MSG as I have felt horrible ever since eating it. We will never make the mistake again and just make the drive to Rudy's in Manitou Springs. read more

Not impressed. Used to frequent the one on Arapahoe, but this one came up short. Food wasn't great, service was mediocre, the drink machine wasn't fully working.... Just not good and definitely not worth the wait... read more
