    2 Two Meat Plate Special (Polish Kielbasa Sausage and brisket) with baked beans, slaw, and an extra side of creamed spinach.
    Tara G.

    We came in the day after Christmas for lunch. My husband and I have eaten at this location twice, and enjoyed it. Today we came with my adult son and daughter in law, who were in from Ohio, and had never had Dickey's (so they had a lot of questions), and my stepdaughter, who lives in Chesapeake, and had also never had them. Nevertheless, our orders were still quite simple. There were only two employees working. One seemed extremely knowledgeable (the male), but the other (the female), seemed completely confused. My husband and I ordered the 3 meat combo to share, with double brisket, pulled pork, fries and green beans. My stepdaughter ordered a 6 count of chicken wings and a green beans side. My son ordered the Old School plate with brisket, polish kielbasa, bbq baked beans, cabbage slaw, and an extra side (creamed spinach). My daughter in law ordered the pulled pork sandwich plate. with mac n cheese, and baked potato casserole (an extra side). Her meal was supposed to include a large beverage. We also ordered 2 small beverages, and I had a free 'Big Yellow cup'. When the total came out, I thought that it sounded higher than it should have been. It turns out, that the female, the one who seemed completely confused by our order, had put a 2 meat platter onto our bill, which we hadn't ordered ($14.95 plus tax). They got our order wrong, and plated a baked potato casserole on our platter, which I noted that we hadn't even ordered. She said that she heard me say something about it. Well yes, I did ASK the other employee about it. But I didn't order it. They didn't give my son any sauces for his platter, which he should have notified them about, but he didn't. My daughter in law was supposed to get a large drink with her pulled pork sandwich combo, but I had to argue with the female about it, because she had already handed me a big yellow cup... the one I was getting free with my app. She ultimately handed me another large cup, then said, "whatever". Most aggravating, the female rang up all of our meals with sides that we hadn't even ordered, because they're all priced the same. But it makes the receipt difficult to read as a customer, because the receipt doesn't reflect what we've actually purchased. She was just putting in random sides. Also, according to our receipt, most of us all got pulled chicken (when technically nobody got pulled chicken). Still yet, when I brought it to their attention that we were charged for an entire 2 meat plate that we hadn't even ordered, the male employee did kindly and efficiently reverse the charges for it. Since it appears to be a struggle for the female employee to accurately get the orders correct both on the plates, and at the register, I don't understand why they aren't writing down the orders. Even as she was ringing it in, she was so confused, we ran it back twice for her, and she still messed up. Also, as a customer, I would appreciate my receipt accurately reflecting what I ordered and paid for; not just random items, which again, makes it even more confusing for all involved. Overall, the man was efficient, helpful, and knowledgeable; the woman employee was argumentative, confused, and rushing us through. We were the only people eating at the restaurant, so they weren't at all busy. The quality of the food was excellent; the meat was flavorful, and we'll likely return again, with hopes that they can work on the customer service side.

    For a chain restaurant, meh it's ok. The meats didn't really have that much flavor or tenderness. Had to use their bbq sauces to mask how plain it was. Came in on a Saturday, ordered 45 mins to an hour ahead of time, came and had to wait an additional 20ish minutes. Low staffed, only had three people working and of course the lunch rush didn't help. Overall the food was alright, nothing popped out. They were out of pulled pork, couldn't order online because their place don't do online so I had to phone it in which was annoying. I paid extra for a cornbread and they forgot it :(

    Ate here for lunch at 12 noon by myself. Was the only one in the restaurant at the time. The pit 1 special was a fair price for amount of food and included a small drink. My food was fresh and tasted very good. Resting fairly clean. Bathrooms were fine but could use a remodel. The associates were polite. As well as helpful. Food prep area looked aged but still clean. I would return.

    I came here for dinner on the first day that I was in town for work as I was not in the mood for something unique and random. The restaurant was mostly empty and some of the chairs were already up on the tables. I had no issues with what I ordered as if you have been to one Dickeys, you have been to them all. The side dishes might change depending on region. There were no overall issues with my meal. Just nothing spectacular. I can't say that I would be back as it is a Dickeys but it didn't make it so I don't want to go to another. I will go to Dickeys again.

I got the bacon cheese…read moresteak burger and he got the Chipotle steak and cheese with all the works, and honestly... every single bite was ridiculous in the best way possible. We've been traveling up and down the East Coast for the last 4 days and have stopped at a bunch of places to eat, and this place absolutely blew every other spot out of the water, no competition!! Hands down the best food we've had the entire trip! I'm genuinely upset we don't live closer (from Massachusetts) because I don't think I can ever go back to a "basic" sandwich place after this We will 1000% be stopping here every single chance we get!!

Sure, would I go back again and again because I want NYC style food? No. The pizza tasted like typical boxed pizza...if they actually toss the pie dough I'd be surprised because the texture and tear of the dough suggests commercial dough balls rolled out. And the cheesesteak....Pats & Ginos is what we are talking about...which are not the places people go if they want authentic cheesesteak. Just cause there is cheese whiz on it doesn't make it authentic. It wasn't terrible but I'm looking for a more thoughtful cheesesteak. The bread was a 1, too much bread and it was cumbersome. I didn't finish it but it was at best a 3...I've definitely had worse in this area. Service was great the cashier was friendly and helpful.

    While Firebirds is a chain, the food, service and dining experience are all very good and this…read morelocation is no exception. For a steakhouse, the prices are relatively reasonable but by nature it is a bit more expensive than average. The service has been consistently excellent and the staff are friendly. There is a nice bar and some seating in the bar area as well. In the cooler weather the bar area seating enjoys a well placed fireplace. I recommend the double black diamond martini. The steaks, chicken and salmon dishes I have had I enjoyed. I think the NY strip is my favorite and I like to get the port mushrooms and a baked potato as the sides. I tried the Tomahawk pork chop recently and it was delicious and a generous amount of food. Most steak places also know how to properly cook fish and the Salmon is always very good here. The three course meal deal is a good value if you are hungry and the dessert is a full size. My one complaint is that the last two visits, the air conditioning did not seem to be working properly and the restaurant seemed a bit uncomfortable. Please fix your HVAC!

    Came here on a Friday night with a group of friends. It was relatively busy, but definitely not…read moreslammed. First thing we noticed was how incredibly hot it was inside. It genuinely felt like there were some kind of air-conditioning issues happening, which already made sitting through dinner uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the service didn't make the experience any better. Our server, Diego, seemed annoyed from the very beginning. Maybe he was overworked or having a rough night, but he came across as unfriendly and irritated by fairly normal questions. We ordered a good variety for the table, including the deviled eggs, ranch onion rings, meatloaf, penne with steak, and chimichurri shrimp with mashed potatoes. When I asked whether the quinoa that came with a possible dish I was looking at, could be substituted for something else, Diego responded that it was "good for me" and that I should get it. That wasn't what I asked, and the response felt unnecessarily snarky. Then there was the margarita. Why are we putting regular table salt on the rim of a margarita? It may sound like a small detail, but at this price point and level of restaurant, the details matter. It just felt sloppy. The biggest issue, however, was my chimichurri shrimp. After cutting into one, I realized it was raw. Not slightly underdone. Raw. Eventually Diego came back around and I let him know. He took the plate away, but it took roughly another 30 minutes for the replacement shrimp to arrive. By that point, every single person I was dining with had finished their meal. I essentially sat there while my friends ate and then received my food after dinner was already over. What shocked me even more was that the meal wasn't comped. There was no meaningful attempt to make the situation right despite serving raw seafood and then taking another half hour to replace it. Mistakes happen in restaurants. Kitchens get backed up, servers have bad nights, and food occasionally needs to be remade. What separates a good restaurant from a disappointing one is how those mistakes are handled. Serving raw shrimp, leaving a guest without their meal while the rest of the table finishes, and then charging full price as though nothing happened is not good hospitality. Between the uncomfortable heat, dismissive service, questionable attention to detail, raw food, and the way the situation was ultimately handled, this completely put a damper on what was supposed to be a fun Friday night out with friends. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark in too many ways for me to overlook.

It makes you feel like you are at a locally owned artist's studio that also serves food and has a bar everyone looks forward to seeing their friends. The staff and servers are extremely friendly and helpful and the place seems quite busy with regulars who love gathering together. Almost makes you want to be a local... The food is well cooked and served hot. I wished I could have tried a lot more of the menu... but it was a quick stop on the way home from a beach vacation. For such a small restaurant... there are a lot of seats and looks to be able to even host a large party of 15-20 on a long bench. The Gus burger was hearty, beef patty was thick and delicious... the fries are interesting... like a hybrid between a fry and potato chip. The onion rings are large and seem to have a funnel cake coating! Crispy and well fried. The French toast is thick and fluffy and the bread density is amazing! My daughter also enjoyed the bagel and cream cheese... The BLT is filled with beautiful pieces of ham and turkey... it's so hearty! If you live in the area or are driving through... make your way here!

    This is a true definition of a hole in a wall. Very clever decor and cozy spot. Service was great…read moreeven though they were under staffed during a lunch hour. Ordered the Reuben based on the feedback from the waitress. Best Reuben I have had in a long time. Meat was tender and and flavorful. I would order that anytime I go back. Onion rings is what brings my review down. Heavy batter and a very slim onion. Onion needs to be thicker and juicier.
