My wife and I happened into this place in a Saturday. Wasn't busy. The pulled pork was good. The bbq sauce was equally good. The staff was polite and courteous. Clean. I think we would return. read more

We had some really great food!!! The ribs were outstanding, ate plain as rub was all it needed. The pork and tangled bake (stuffed baked potato with pulled pork and onion straws) was also very good. We ate the pick three all brisket which was tender and juicy. We also had pick two. The sides were good but coleslaw was fair. We will be back. read more

See all

Good service. Mediocre to poor bbq. Food is affordable. Sides are decent, but probably a little on the salty side. I have trouble finding any smokey flavor lately in their meats. My pulled pork the last few visits was pure white meat, fat was rendered well but absolutely no flavor. Still, if you need a quick BBQ fix and don't feel like venturing off the beaten path, you might have a positive experience that was worth the money. I might give them another shot in the future. read more

Midday is best time to go. Really good BBQ. Fresh fries. Good Mac n cheese. And free ice cream!!!

The food is good BUT the reason for the five star rating was the crew working behind the counter. I went there on sunday with the family and it was pure chaos. By chaos I mean it was packed and loud and Christian, Aliya, and Kenny handled the the chaos in stride while remaining polite and attentive. We are definitely going back soon. Thanks for a good lunch experience crew. read more

I'm sorry, I would love to give this place a high rating, but I found the food just gross. That the food was kept warm in plastic wrap should have been the dead giveaway. It was just all dissatisfying. The half rack was fall of the bone done, the okras were too salty and what goes for baked potato was just mashed potatoes. I would love to give them a good rating, but I left grossed out. They did not even have towelettes to clean your hands. read more

I go here whenever I am craving pulled pork. My boyfriend never gives me a hard time about going either ;) He loves it all. The brisket, pulled pork, etc. Very good service every time. If the line is long, they do hustle to move it relatively quickly. Highly recommend....I think I just figured out what's for dinner! Oh and for the ones who want a vinegar sauce, they do have it behind the counter if it's not out with the other sauces. read more

I stopped in there for the first time today. I had a BBQ pork sandwich and it was really good. The pork was moist but not greasy or fatty at all. It was tasty and their bun was good too. I mixed some sweet BBQ sauce with the spicy sauce to put on my sandwich. It was a delicious lunch. I checked out the per pound price and asked if they sold their buns (which they do). I will definitely stop by soon for some take out after a busy long commute. read more

We were referred here by a family member who frequents the locations more up north, so we decided to try this one. I've given it a star for friendly staff, however the service was extremely slow, for having to stand in a line to order. $30+ for two people later, our meat was extremely dry and cold. The sides are your typical made-from-a-box or out-of-a-can quality, but I didn't really expect more from a barbecue place anyway. The ribs had a good smoke flavor, however, it tasted a bit too much; as if they used liquid smoke to bring it out or something. Everything just wasn't up to par with the price you pay, which is beyond disappointing. read more

Dickey's is now the best BBQ in town. The sides were ok (beans were salty, baked potato casserole was tasty, but the consistency was instant potatoes), but the meats were great. Brisket perfectly cooked, and pulled pork that was not a greasy blob. Really liked them. The sauces are warmed - nice touch - and delicious. Note: the "hot and spicy" is spicy! Try it though. Overall a great meal at a fair price at a Chipotle-style BBQ joint. I can't wait to come back. read more

One my favorite lunch spots. The brisket is always awesome and the portions are generous. You definitely will not leave hungry!

The food is very good as always. The service... not so much. I write this critique in hopes that the owner/operator changes some of the policies around. During the Sunday lunch time, when all of the church services let out, there were only three people working the front and one in the back. This was not nearly enough to cover the shift. Additionally, there was no one in leadership to be found. The place was full and the tables were not being wiped down and we watched several folks get the wrong orders. The young lady running the register was doing her best and she was very kind despite the lack of help from her other co-workers. The other issue which needs some improvement is the placement of the tables. There was no room to move between them. They had tables set up outside for over flow but, the umbrellas for shade were standing inside in the hallway for some unknown reason. I will eat here again but, I hope the management picks up and takes a close look at the current conditions and applies some much needed improvements. read more

Only four because it is a bit pricey, but the food is SO delicious! People are generally nice- I've been here a few times and can't say I've had an awful customer service experience. Did J mention the food is to die for read more

Just sad! I love Bbq and this was gross, the ribs tasted exactly like beef jerky. I was thinking it then my husband said it at the same time. "way too salty tastes like beef jerky" plus it was dry. the worst part was the staff and service, NOONE had a clue what was going on or what to do, how to take an order or greet a customer and the line took forever because of the poor service. Also they were out of almost everything and it was not even 6 yet. Stay away if u need bbq go to Shaines Rib Shack! read more

I would love to give this place a good rating because of the nice staff, but the food is nasty. The cook is grimy looking.. and watching him preparing my pulled pork sandwich had already ruined my appetite. I should have trusted my instincts because sure enough 30 mins after eating the sandwich, my stomach started hurting and I felt like throwing up. I still feel sick 4 hours after eating this nasty sandwich and ended up vomiting.. !! Gross!! Nasty!! Worst bbq ever ! read more

My smoked brisket is better. Hate to say it, but it's true. I went here expecting expertly crafted, quality barbecue. What I got was subpar. Any time I visit a restaurant and feel that I could have done better myself, then there is a problem. The sides were good, nothing to write home about. The beans could easily been Bush's, and the yeast roll wasn't even warm. read more

I've been here several times now. And every visit it has gone down a little for me. The sides are just not good. Why? I'm not sure, they don't seem to be consistent from day to day. I've had a few of the sides several times and sometimes they are good and some times they are poor. They also need to train their employees better. I had a pulled pork sandwich last time I went, and I'm slightly put off of pulled pork now. It didn't taste bad, but the sandwich maker squished a ball of pork on my sandwich. It had the consistency of tuna salad. Not appetizing. Not sure if I'll go back again. read more

Best fast food in Southpoint plaza. The food is fresh and delicious each time I have had Dickey's. A bonus is they offer a daily deal which makes it very affordable to eat there. read more

I am so glad I found this gem a few months ago. There are quite a few bbq places in the area but none of them are great but this one is EXCELLENT! I have been here many many times over the last few months and the food is always extremely fresh with a wonderful smokey flavor. I have tried the pulled pork, ribs, turkey, brisket and sausage and I was not disappointed in any of them. The sides I have tried are great too! My favorites are the pulled pork with cole slaw (cause you have to put cole slaw on your sandwich) and the green beans. Customer service is 5 stars too! The crew is always friendly and helpful and never lacking in the smile department. If you have not already tried this barbecue place, do yourself a favor and visit it soon! Highly recommended. read more

Really great barbecue. You get lots of meat on your sandwich and it is tasty. Could be a little faster service, but worth the wait!

I am very picky about VA bbq and I loved Dickeys! I have eaten all around the state and this was still some of the best! The pulled pork sandwich was perfectly done and the Mac and cheese was great! The baked beans were a little too spicy for my taste but probably wouldn't be for other people. Love the free ice cream in the store and the souvenir cups, would definitely go back! read more

Great food. Friendly staff. Great price on the pit boss special with pulled pork only $6.25 plus tax. I love the meat plates. The beef brisket is delicious. read more

Wonderful pulled pork and great tasting bbq sauce! Got the mac n cheese and the potato cassarole as sides and the bread is always so tasty and soft! Definitely recommend. It was a bit on the pricey side but then again, which bbq joint isn't? read more

The food is good..the service friendly..but...while I usually go during the day..several times Ive gone by at 8:30-8:45 only to find tables put up as if closed...closing time is supposed to be 9pm...Tonight I got there and they were stacking chairs on tables at 8:40...by the time I got to door (had to get wife and grandaughters order to go since tables were stacked)...lock had been turned and I was ignored...I was aggravated so I called store to complain but they ignored phone. If the hrs are 11am till we decide to close...the hours of operation on the door should say that instead of 11am till 9pm. This happened once before but the owner happened to come by and made them open a table up. Tonight another customer pulled up,walked to the door and then left...at any rate...Im not pleased with service! Don in Fredericksburg Va read more

Good pull pork and turkey. Get sauce on the side. Orig. sauce taste the best. Sweet tea real good. This is fast food. Service is oh, k. Entire Staff hide in the back. We had to go in back to get them to refill tea. This was a Saturday around 8pm. Staff is friendly. Girls(young ladies)aren't into customer service. Had to ask twice to get tea refilled. I would return if I'm in the area. read more

Excellent barbecue - especially for a semi-fast food environment. Spicy sauce is great and there was free ice cream. Definitely would go back. The only down side is that it seemed a bit high for the amount and environment. read more

Good BBQ. Pork was a little dry but the ribs were on point. Coleslaw was okay. Service was good

I don't care what these other people say....the pulled pork was great!!! an ohhhh the onion rings. The barbeque sauce was just right...and best of all, the price was right. If you crave barbeque, go there..mmmmmmm read more

Good meats and sides, reasonable prices, friendly staff, and free soft serve ice cream!

Ok for a chain BBQ joint. A solid 2.5 stars for me but will round up. Think Chipotle for BBQ. I got my usual first time visit to a BBQ place meal of Pulled pork sandwich and mac and cheese. I also got baked beans and after realizing cole saw was not included I went back and got a side of it also. Pulled pork sandwich was very good with great flavor, bun mated very well with the meat. It is served with two pickle slices and raw onion slices and unsauced with your choice of three sauces (original, hot and spicy and I believe a tangy....the label was gone) all of which are ok. Sides are $2 for a decent individual serving size. Mac and cheese isn't really what you expect from a bbq place...same type of mac and cheese you find on a buffet, I was a bit disappointed. Beans were ok with their own distinct flavor and a bit of a bite at the end....not great, not bad though. The cole slaw in my opinion (that is what this is all about right) was just not good. It seemed almost to be watered down and not creamy. It did hold together well, and seemed like it would do well topping on your sandwich...after tasting the slaw and tasting the meat, I didn't want to ruin the meat with sub-par cole slaw. My wife got the beef and cheese baker. She enjoyed it and felt the beef had a little spice to it. She did wish she had a bit more margarine, but otherwise had no complaints. We got a chicken nugget kids meal with mac and cheese. Surprisingly, the nuggets were pretty good. I think they excel at their meats and really miss the target with their sides. I plan on trying their sausage next time and likely just skip the sides. read more

This was my fourth visit to Dickey's -- and it was a bit disappointing! The barbecue was OK; however, the slaw did not taste fresh or look appealing. Also, I have concerns regarding the cleanliness of the work station where the meat is handled -- especially the scales where the meat is weighed. The staff seemed rushed and the cashier spoke so fast that it was difficult to understand him. The restaurant was not busy -- one table of customers and one person in line behind me. However, on this visit, the quality of the food/service did not measure up to the cost we paid for our meal. read more

Didn't care for the BBQ to be honest. I felt like it was pretty mediocre and the taste just wasn't for me. I couldn't even finish what I got. But the reason for 3 stars is the prices are pretty high. Combine very high prices with mediocre BBQ and I just can't recommend it. read more

On 12/1 I posted a review of my BBQ experience at Dickey's of Fredericksburg. I purchased a to-go order of ribs; once home I found the ribs totally inedible. Combined with the long commute and an exhausting day at work, the prospect of returning the ribs simply was not gonna happen. So I turned to Yelp to express my disappointment. Shortly after my post, Dickey's customer service sent the following note Hi Greg, Dickey's B. sent you a message on Yelp: "Subject: Your Review: "Very sorry about this Greg. Our ribs are smoked overnight, every night. Could you send us your email address so we can make this right for you?" I was encouraged by their perceived responsiveness and concern, I promptly delivered my email address per their request. Silly me, two weeks have passed and "crickets" from Dickey's. No I'm convinced that there is a direct correlation between Dickey's of Fredericksburg's poor food quality and their customer service. To be honest, I'm not concerned about the 20+ dollars spent for charred ribs; but, am disappointed that management/ownership thinks they can send empty messages to consumers, thinking if will improve their status and perception on social media. read more

Unbelievable incompetent staff. Sat in line for about 30 minutes while 3 kids served about a person every 5 minutes. If you want a 3 hour lunch, go here. read more

We were here on a travel through enjoyed it so much we revisited on the return trip...very tasty and fresh...friendly and efficient service...great selections of smoked meats and choices of sides. The bread is good quality and they give free small cups of ice team...kids (and my husband) would love that!...no alcohol but great casual meal..also cater with some great choices of meme for a large group. read more

Quick service BBQ - good but not great. I will go again and bring my kids. Free soft ice cream is a nice touch and the prices are reasonable. read more

loved this place! Great atmosphere and the ribs I had were falling off the bone.Much better alternative to the other fast food joints where you dont know exactly what your eating. read more

The food here is really good. I love their pork barbecue. The soft serve ice cream machine is awesome too. Their staff members are helpful and friendly. read more

Just ate here. Food was good, employees were awful. I went up to order and wanted to try many varieties of the food, so I ordered the 2 meant plate and also a half of rack of ribs. They told me the ribs would take 10 minutes so I said that was perfectly okay because I could eat and then they could bring them out when they are ready. Well, I ate my entire meal and saw a man who ordered much later than me walk to sit down with ribs on his plate. So one employee told me they would be right out. The man who had ordered his ribs much later after me had by this time finished his food so I figured I'd wait 10 more minutes. After the time had passed and still no food I decided to go up and check on it. I went up to let them know and merely asked why a man who ordered ribs way after me has already eaten his ribs and yet I still haven't gotten the ones I ordered. The response from the employee I got was "Well, do you want the ribs or not?" I asked where the manager or owner was and was told they were out at caterings. Needless to say, I won't be back without the owner or manger there. Food was good, service was awful. read more

This is exactly what you'd expect from a QSR barbecue place except better! We had the ham, pulled pork, seasoned waffle fries, and mac & cheese. Everything was excellent. I honestly wasn't expecting anything beyond average, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pork was moist and tasty. The ham was also perfectly prepared with an excellent taste. For those who don't like sauce, most of the meats are served without it and you can choose to use it if you want. They had 4 standard choices available: Original, Sweet, Hot & Spicy, and Carolina. They were all very typical of the names and fit the food just right. The mac & cheese was a rock star and the waffle fries might be my new number one for fries. The price was certainly reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food and the staff was very friendly and courteous. I'll definitely be adding Dicky's to my to-do list whenever I'm in Fredericksburg. PS - FREE soft serve ice cream! read more
