    Pulled pork sandwich w sweet barbecue sauce
    Nikki B.

    I had placed an online order for a pulled pork sandwich. I walked in... looking all around for a To-Go station... I didn't see it so I went to the end of the counter and asked an employee who didn't have a customer in front of him where it was? He came towards me, through the little half door to open a warming cabinet not three feet away from me....where my bag was and handed it to me. It wasn't labeled and honestly, just kind of blended. Thank you to the fella for quickly handing me my order and sending me on my way.

    I was so sad when the Burnsville location closed because it's really hard to find a location that cooks the fried okra well, but this one does! I ordered a double order of okra and got SO much!

    Decent BBQ joint in Eagan if you can find it. It is kind of off the road in a more industrial part of town which makes it an odd choice to find in such a place. Because of the location though, it is not super crazy busy during the lunch or dinner hour so that you can get in and out fairly quickly. Staff are always on point and serve you quickly and efficiently. Dickey's always gives you plenty of food for the price and their sides never disappoint. I especially like the waffle fries and loaded smashed potatoes. Their chopped brisket is great and is always a good first option for a meat platter. Of course, nothing beats free ice cream which you can find at this location as well. Dickey's isn't my favorite fast casual BBQ joint out there but it fits the bill when I am craving some good Texas brisket and BBQ.

    Way to execute some good bbq! Folks working are awesome. I was on on business from Texas and this place felt like the Dickey's I'm used to. Met the owner so awesome to see franchise owners involved. Just makes me feel like there's actual care put into here and the employees are valued. All that leads to me having some good bbq and Mac n cheese that's not dried out :)

    Just came here from the Saint Paul location sorely disappointed and still hungry. This location showed me why I'll keep going to Dickey's! Ordered the one meat platter with brisket and double onion tanglers. Everything was amazing! The roll came out fresh and we were brought an item to the table that was still cooking when we ordered. Full drink menu and free ice cream cones. This is definitely a great location and will be back for sure

    Free soft serve vanilla ice cream with cone too.

    This place just has really good barbecue. It's located kind of in a small strip mall but it's well worth getting the three plate meal.

The brisket sandwich, ribs, chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, and baked beans were all perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Justine helped me over the phone while I was trying to figure out lunch plans. I was actually headed to another restaurant when I found out halfway there that they were closed on Mondays. I had to switch gears quickly, and that's when I found Smokestack Express. Justine was extremely helpful, friendly, and patient. She made the ordering process easy and was genuinely pleasant to talk to. The food would have been enough to bring me back, but her attitude and professionalism made the experience even better. I can see why this business is successful. Great food combined with great people is a winning combination. Thanks, Smokestack Express, for saving my butt today. You've definitely gained a new customer.

Most places dislike when someone walks in at almost close. Well these guys were great. The guy up front asked if I was picking up or looking to do a sit down order. I told him just wanted to get a little takeout. He said if you know what you want I can get help you out or if you need a minute go ahead and look at our menu board. After looking at the board, I got a half a pound of brisket point half a pound of sausage half rack of ribs and a small container of mac & cheese. I also noticed that they had smoked sausage too. You pulled everything out of the warmer cut it fresh and asked if I wanted any barbecue sauce on the side. He also mentioned that they had an ice cream machine behind me if I felt like having an ice cream cone while I waited, not many places have soft serve ice cream twist cone so I got one. After forgetting everything home, it was still very warm and tasted good. Only complaint I had was. I like a traditional Texas style brisket.

Ever since 2020, the climate surrounding the George Floyd Square has changed dramatically, and this establishment has become an even stronger integral part of the community as the square itself had represented how the community thrives with its people. A lot of respect for the establishment from that perspective. In terms of food, I would say the soul food, which contained mostly sides, were the main highlight for me. The mac & cheese was salty enough. The fries were solid in a "you can't really go wrong with it" type of way. The candied yams had enough sweetness. The collard greens could taste better but standards must be lower when they're not homemade. I also enjoyed the catfish fillets as they were fried to preserve enough hotness and softness. A lot of what they served, they made on the spot, which was what may be causing longer wait for some. Meat-wise, a lot of items could use further improvement because they were too dry, such as the smoked wings and the beef brisket. The wings were dry to the point that they condensed and got extremely salty. The brisket relied a lot on the sauce and the existing fat on the meat for juiciness while the meat itself didn't have a lot of flavor or juice. As for the ribs, they had some seasoning, and tasted just fine, and weren't as dry. But I have had ribs in Texan barbeque places before and knew what "seasoned" ribs were like and therefore concluded that the ribs here were not spectacular. With all that said, however, I still will return here as often as I can because I love supporting this business. The person serving me was very hospitable and patient. I still got some pretty solid barbeque even if it's not Texas. Besides, outside just the barbeque food, the soul food was solid, like I had mentioned above.
