    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Amber V.

    Let me start by saying it's more of a 3.5 stars but I rounded up. We hadn't had Dickeys in years but I had I remembered it not being that great. However, I had a sizable rebate for Dickeys on one of my apps and in looking over Yelp reviews, I thought I may have remembered our last experience incorrectly, so I decided to give them another go and placed an order online for pick up. Pickup was easy, my order was ready within 30 per the app. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff were very nice and the inside was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got their family bundle which consisted of 4 pulled pork sandwiches and 2 "shareable" sides for $33 + tax. I got regular bbq sauce, sweet bbq sauce and spicy bbq sauce for our sandwiches. All were tasty, but I do wish the spicy had more spice to it. The pulled pork was good, hardly any fatty pieces at all. The shareable sides were smaller than I expected. Each container would feed 2 people, so for us, you either got potato salad or baked beans but couldn't get both because there wasn't enough of each. The baked beans were very pepper heavy and not sweet at all, we were not a fan. The potato salad was mustard heavy, which we are a fan of. When I picked up my order, I also purchased a large soda, it was $5, that seemed a little steep to me. They also charge a renewal/recycle program fee, it's only a few cents ($0.39 in my case) but I have no idea what it's for. Overall, it wasn't bad at all. I'd definitely come back for this deal again. Just get a different side other than the peppery baked beans.

    Brisket

    Food: Brisket was great. We all enjoyed our food very much. Fried okra is amazing. Employees: Very sweet and hard working. Atmosphere: [[HIGHLIGHT]]AWFUL! They don't have a functioning AC.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We felt so bad for the employees.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Good eat'in!

    Purchased 1# sliced brisket and 1# pulled pork with the intent to save it for the next day Super Bowl. Well, we got home and started nibbling and just couldn't stop. The meat was cooked perfectly; the young lady and gentlemen were super friendly and attentive...Our salutes!

    Man I came here around 8pm with my little brother...i expected fresh Brisket and fresh smoked chicken man practically the only fresh item that was freshly made was the fries and even that was the taste of frost bite...keep this in mind I had this food before never did it taste like this! I'm very disappointed in the quality and quantity of the meat in this place. I really feel like this meat was microwaved or heated up from earlier today and this is disappointing and dry!!...no doubt nauseous what a disappointment.

    Mac & Cheese Hand-Cut Fries

    Don't ever order from here give us skimpy servings of lukewarm food and and house cut fries (right) is a large serving and the mac and cheese (left) is the next size up

    Stopped here after shopping at Belair. It had gone away before and came back to the same location a couple of years later. Still the same food. When you're in a pinch for some BBQ and don't have time to travel it will do . I got the 3 meat combo. The meats were moist and pretty good. I like the place and the staff are really nice.

    I got to try Dickey's once again after so many years. I remember going to this place when they first opened and they were on point. Fast forward a few years later and I decided to try them again. I got a BOGO promo sandwich and ordered the brisket sandwiches for pick up. The place looks the same under new ownership but the vibe is different. Service was actually nice and the wait time was minimal. The brisket sandwiches were okay but on the dry side. The sauce and the coleslaw did save it a little.

    Burnt and dry ribs spit it out as soon as I tasted it
    Coco R.

    IM SOOO UPSET! I ordered lunch for myself and my children and I'm DISGUSTED! the food is BURNT AND DRY & old looking like it's just been sitting! the bag was covered in oil & ribs are dry and old like they grabbed this bag from the garbage!! I'm sooo upset! I spent $50 and can't even eat it! Don't eat here !!!

    $7 sandwhich? (Pulled Pork Sandwich)
    Justin S.

    I drop by today because I had a free sandwich from T-Mobile Tuesday's offer. I chose the brisket sandwich yet 2 minutes before arriving at the store they told me they sold out so I got pulled pork instead. I took of 2 stars because I find it weird how they charge for sauces... even bbq sauce. This makes no sense why would you charge for bbq sauce for bbq sandwich? And honestly the sandwhich taste ok. I got the sandwich plain because I didn't want to pay for the sauce. I probably won't be back...

    Dickeys

    I came to Dickeys for the first time looking for something different in the area. Ribs were tender and flavorful. They were truly the star of the meal. Brisket was well seasoned but a little overcooked. Loaded baked potato Casserole was seasoned well and had real pieces of potato but was very dry and could use more cheese and bacon. Green beans with bacon were cold but flavored well and had a slight spiciness to them. Bread was softer than I like for toast so I only took one bite just to taste it. Not bad. Overall I thought the food was decent and will most likely try them again.

    02.07.2026 - DQ Hawaiian BBQ | Elk Grove, CA **Broke da…read moremouth.** From the moment I walked in, the restaurant felt welcoming--clean, well-kept, and inviting. The cashier at the front was patient and kind as I placed my order, offering thoughtful recommendations. She suggested the Half & Half combo, which turned out to be the perfect choice, especially since I wanted to try their Kalua Pork with Cabbage. Whenever I visit a Hawaiian BBQ restaurant for the first time, Kalua pork is my benchmark. It's the dish that quietly tells you whether a place truly understands Hawaiian food and culture. ### First Glance The portions were generous at first sight, but as I ate, it became clear the balance was just right. The Kalua pork and cabbage looked moist and savory. The short ribs were beautifully cooked--charred just enough without being overdone. The macaroni salad immediately reminded me of what I used to eat back home in Hawaii, and the steamed rice appeared to be short-grain, (unsure) prepared with care. ### Taste Test **Steamed Rice** Perfectly cooked. Each grain was intact--never mushy, never dry. Moist, fluffy, and timed precisely. It tasted like it was made by someone who truly respects rice. **Macaroni Salad** Comforting and familiar. The flavors were exactly where they should be, with a subtle hint of umami that many other Hawaiian BBQ spots in the area shy away from. That small detail made a big difference and brought authenticity to the plate. **Short Ribs** Tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The charring added depth without bitterness, and the marinade tasted just like the plate lunches I grew up with in Hawaii. The meat was soft and juicy--not dry or tough. **Kalua Pork** This was the true test--and it passed effortlessly. Moist, tender, and infused with smoky juices. Too often, some restaurants in the Sacramento region, Kalua pork is served dry, but this one stayed true to its roots. One bite confirmed it: this was authentic. ### Final Thoughts I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. This visit sparked that familiar feeling--the one that makes you want to return, to taste more, to linger a little longer. The staff was warm and attentive. The waitress stopped by my table to check in, and that gave me the chance to ask the real question: *Are you guys from Hawaii?* She smiled and said her boss is. That explained everything. You can feel it when a local boy builds something with care, pride, and memory. Much respect. This is a place worth supporting. So there you have it--**ONO yah. Broke da mouth.**

    Service: 4.2 friendly Food: 3.7…read more Friday night and my wife lets me pick the spot, so I've been wanting to try this place and been craving Hawaiian food; so I guess it's my lucky night! When we arrived, I opened the door and thought there was no seating since all I saw was the counter to order food. But there's a few tables that sit mostly two or four people, which gave that hole-in-the-wall vibe. So that was also a sign for us to stay and dine-in. We ordered the BBQ mix (w/brown rice & salad) and the Seafood & BBQ combo with all rice. The young woman working the counter was kind and brought our order to our table, even though everything was packed in "to-go" containers. All the meat was served hot and the seafood fried & crispy. The piece of fish that was in my combo was lightly battered and seasoned which did not require any sauce (the highlight of my dinner). The shrimp tasted like from a packaged product, but it was fried to perfection and not greasy. The BBQ beef was thinly sliced and overly marinated since I can still taste the saltiness from the marinade even drinking several glasses of water after dinner. Oh and the nice young woman working kept checking in on us throughout our meal. And I will need to come back and try the other food on their menu to hopefully provide a more insightful review.

I tested it a few times and the lock did not work, so I had to have to my friend stand outside for protection. There are some Hawaiian vibes going on in there and television to keep guests entertained. While waiting for food, I saw people coming and going to pick up party trays, which goes to show how their food is yummy!
