Been awhile since we've ventured to Dickey's and apparently it's been a while for many people. Food is still decent, but the facility is very run down. The ceiling tiles look horrible. Staff was nice and food was served relatively quickly and it was tasty. Free ice cream machine was leaking and I didn't check to see if it actually worked. Doors, both front and back, we open letting a breeze and the bug in as my child said, but I didn't see any personal. read more

We haven't visited Dickey's in a bit. Appears it may be under new management these days. The restaurant was pretty empty. It was clean. Ordering was easy and food was prepared relatively quickly. Portion sizes could have been a bit bigger, but overall the food was good. Certainly not as I remember. We ordered the 2 meat plate with beef brisket and puled pork with brisket chili and barbecue beans and a chicken sandwich combo with a side of mac and cheese and a drink. The chili is way too spicey. read more

Yum! Yes, we'll go back to Dickie's. Many meat options. Several side choices. Welcoming people. Spacious seating. Three sauces to choose from: Original/Sweet/Spicy - all delicious. We had the pulled pork sandwich, Atomic chicken, Mac n cheese, and green beans. I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Not enough help at lunchtime. No one working at counter to take orders. Prices higher than dickeys in my hometown

Delicious brisket on a tasty bun. Perfect! Spicy sauce is my fave. Nice crispy well-seasoned okra, which is hard to find. Big baked potato was exactly as ordered. Nicely packed to go with lots of napkins! What a friendly staff! read more

This is the 10th time we have ordered dickeys since this inception in Kenosha, tonight 10/13/24 was first time they gave us a small portion on brisket and sausage in our large loaded baked potatoes. While we are waiting for our order at 615pm the employee's container had 32 oz of meat while our potatoes had 2.5-3 oz of meat. We are disappointed and we wont be back. At least hide your employees portions while you are open for business. $15 dollars with tax for a freaking potato with no meat!! Good luck. read more

I grew up in Texas and my first job was at a BBQ place. This is the best Dickeys outside of Texas and it is so nice to have a place where the food is actually seasoned. Completely worth the drive from New Berlin. read more

We popped in here one hungry wintery evening and we are happy we did. My SO and I each ordered a 2 meat plate so we could share and try a bunch of items. We ordered pulled pork, chopped brisket, smoked Turkey, and ribs for the meats. And for the sides, we ordered Mac & cheese, fried okra, baked potato casserole, and baked beans. All were good, especially the okra, which was delicious - crunchy& great seasoning- Yum!! The price per plate was around $15 and did some with cornbread. Overall, we really really liked it. The only suggestion I would have is maybe to increase portion sizes just a little bit - of even just the sides. I was still a little bit hungry and probably would have preferred a little more food. I would say for lunch, the portion was perfect. (I think during non-Covid times, they have free ice cream- this would have been amazing! But due to Covid the soft serve machine was not in use. Hopefully they can bring it back soon!) If you're in the area, and looking for good Smoked food, I would definitely recommend giving Dickey's a try. It's very conveniently located right off of 94 and would also make a good place to stop as you're transitioning through. Enjoy! read more

Friendly and delish! I was welcomed in, was checked by employees here if everything was good :) really good ribs and sides. Thank u, Dickeys! Yumz! read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - a man in a restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

I really like their ribs and potato salad, along with the option for a small cone on the way out. You walk up and give your order, but the cashier gives you a few options too, and they bring the order to your table. Not much in the way of ambiance really, but it is clean and quiet. read more

really good food good and friendly employees had a wonderful experience would definitely come back

I'm a sucker for the fried okra and onion tangles. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich plate and my husband got the same. Ordering was different than most Dickies but we didn't mind it. Allowing inflation the serving size was smaller and not real consistent. While waiting for our food a customer ahead of us was very upset about the portion and total order. I would have liked to see them offer to remedy the order. The biggest issue was the smoke that was filling the dining room. I have asthma and had to step outside and eat fast. So that lost a star for me. Overall, I would eat there again. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Pulled pork sandwich plate, with fried okra and onion tanglers - Barbeque Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Hadn't been to a Dickey's in a while, but figured I'd give it a go since it was getting late and we hadn't had dinner yet. I was sorely disappointed by the entire experience. We stood at the counter for a solid minute before any of the employees acknowledged us. When we had questions about the menu, it seems like we were annoying the staff. The food was quick, but while waiting for it to be ready, I ran to the rest room. The smell in the bathroom was of putrid urine and body odor. I quickly washed my hands and left without even using it. The brisket and chicken were both dry to the point that even the barbecue sauce couldn't save them. The bagged Mac and cheese was edible enough for my kid, but had been reduced to mush by the time we got whatever was scraped up from the bottom of the container. The baked potato casserole was weirdly peppered with what seemed like sugar or someone else sweet, so we skipped that too. Even the rolls, which are no doubt the brown and serve type were only partly cooked, they were cold and dense to the point of inedible. Overall, I was severely disappointed, and to make matters even more annoying, I discovered they added a 20% tip to my order without me choosing that option. (We got takeout, and I don't feel the need to tip 20% for my food to be jammed in a bag) I do plan to contact the store today regarding the additional charge added to my order and will contact my bank to dispute the charge if they do not immediately refund the unauthorized amount. I always tip, and never leave bad reviews, but this situation was so over the top terrible, I had to say something. I hate that I'm left with no other option, I enjoy barbecued food and live 5 minutes away from this location. Next time I'll opt for something else, because nothing about this experience was positive. If I could leave 0 stars, I would. read more

I ordered the turkey plate with the creamed spinach and mac and cheese. I tried the turkey with sweet and original bbq sauces. Both were very good! Sides were yummy as well as the roll. I would definitely return. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - a variety of food items - Barbeque Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Oh my goodness! The food is FANTASTIC! I have gluten concerns and Dickey's told me..."No flour" on any of the meats!!! The wings....the meat just falls off the bones! The smoked Turkey and chicken...YUUUUMMMMMMM! The flavors are complex. The coleslaw is delicious and sweet but not too sweet...just right. The hand cut fries are a little salty but boy oh boy are they good. This was such a delicious treat!!! Thank you Dickey's read more

Not as good as I thought. Good portions, but the brisket had mega fat. I guess thats why its so expensive. A little humor. The Mac n'Cheese has milk products like cream cheese, milk and cream. If you are dairy intolerant skip this side forever!!! The onion side is good. Everything was good but it could be better as in, HOT! Ours was cold. The other issue was this... we ordered it online. Online has a tracking of the steps the store is taking like .... order in que... well our order sat in the que for 20 mins amd we were picking it up in 10 mins. We went inside and said we are picking up an order. They said grubhub? No, an online order. He says its not ready because we did not see it come in... in other words they are not paying attention to incoming online orders. So we had to wait another 20 mins. Well they forgot the pickles we paid for already. Other patrons were in the store NOT wearing a mask or spreading out for space. All the employess still had masks even thou the mask update was banned in Kenosha. But, really people will still possibly get sick as the vaccines are not 100% safe. Read the papers. Anyway, We want to live and be free... do it at home, please. This BBQ joint is just ok, but better then restaurants farther north. BBQ sauce was good if you like sugar. The kids will love it. We may be back to give it a second chance. We hope it will be better at that time. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Front door - Barbeque Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Over all it was okay. Price was about average for bbq places in the area. Biggest complaint was my husband pulled plastic out of his brisket. when I brought it to their attention the cashier acted like it was normal and said it was because they wrap the brisket in cling wrap before they prepare it. They did offer to give more brisket after cashier spoke to someone in back. Be careful if you come to eat here. We definitely won't be coming back here read more

Food was mediocre service was awful they told me to hurry the fuck up while ordering and the bathrooms had poop on the walls and the plunder was upside down in the toilet read more

How about this pandemic price. Went to Kenosha store yesterday to get ribs. They only had a half slab of ribs ready. So I said I would buy them. They ran my credit card, then came my surprise pandemic price. $13.70 for half slab of ribs. So that calculates to $2.74 cents per rib. If that's their normal pricing, I will never go back. I think Texas Road house sell full slab for under $20 bucks. And ribs were just okay good. :( read more

I was in town again on business and decided to try this place. This Dicky's location was a real disappointment. It was completely empty during prime dining hours. I soon understood why. Compared to the Dickey's back in Texas, the portions were very stingy. I ordered the three meat "Texas sized" meal. Ha! Pitiful portions and the food temperature was just above cold. I stood in line for a full five minutes waiting for the guy to look up and take my order. SERIOUSLY?!?! Look at this! Brisket is supposed to be sliced, not a chopped up mess you had left over. That's called "chopped" bbq!! The green beans tasted weird and maybe old. The bbq beans were awful and tasted like mustard instead of bbq. What the heck? The worst part? The staff didn't seem to care at all. I will never be back! read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Stingy portions, chopped instead of sliced. - Barbeque Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Best Dickey's I've ever been to! Food was fresh and moist as can be, the owner or manager was extremely friendly and talked with me and was very relatable and personable. Walked out of here with a happily full belly and a smile on my face, plus the FREE custard was a cherry on top. read more

I listen to 95 WIIL Rock out of Kenosha and hear about Dickey's Barbecue all the time. When my wife and I were in town a few months back, I suggested Dickey's for lunch. I'm very glad I did! Both of us absolutely loved our two-meat platters. The meats were amazing (definitely get some turkey), and the sides were fantastic as well! Anytime I am presented with multiple barbecue sauce choices, I must try them all! And I did. I would recommend each one as they all went well with everything I tried them with. I am really looking forward to my next visit to a Dickey's Barbecue! read more

My Wife & I have gone here several times. Pulled pork sandwich is very good. I love fried okra and theirs is very good. Also green beans are tasty. I've also enjoyed the burnt end too. I think it's a new owner. He is very friendly. Good barbecue. read more

It was a very unpleasant experience. I ordered the wrong meal and realized it right after I placed the order. I promptly called the restaurant and spoke with the manager (Shamim) where I asked if I could cancel the order and place a new one (which would have generated more revenue for the restaurant) he was very unhelpful with my request, and said I would need to call corporate to get the order canceled, but would not provide me the number. asked how come he can't just cancel the order; he said that the meal was already made even though I scheduled it for a pick up 30-45 minutes later. I then asked him how or where the meal sits for that amount of time before I pick it up. He said in a warming oven of some sort. I then asked him if this would be hot when I picked it up and not "warm/lukewarm". He assured me that it would be hot. He was wrong. I live not more than 5 minutes away. When the food arrived at home it wasn't hot but warm as I had suspected. I still don't understand how he was not simply able to cancel the order with 30-45 minutes lag time available? When we picked it up there was literally no one dining in the restaurant, we were the only customers. Which then I don't understand why the meal couldn't be made "fresh" for designated pick-up time (or 5 minutes give or take). The whole experience was just miserable (and dealing with Shammim, who obviously never heard or adheres to the "customer is always right" motto). Probably will not visit again. read more

Ordered the two meat plate and honestly for $18 I expected larger portions. The brisket was over cooked and shredded, the Turkey was ok, and the sides were bland. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I've only picked up to go from here once, but we liked it. Polish sausage and ribs were tastiest in our opinion. The meat had a thin outer crust, just fell off the rib bones, and was moist with good flavor, a nice hint of smoke, just enough, and not too salty. Probably some of the better ribs I've had. All the meats were good. The skinless chicken breast (which is the only chicken they do) was succulent, juicy and flavourful, really tasted good- but would not hit a BBQ mark for me if that was my craving. Brisket was also good, at least tonight. By comparison, we like RUB's brisket too, but sometimes RUB's can be inconsistent. So we try to remember that at BBQ places. Potato salad was excellent! Creamy, ever-so-slight dill, delicious. Good beans too, preferred the jalapeño beans (barely there heat) over BBQ but both were good. Oh, good waffle fries, nice crisp and soft on inside. The guys working there were super friendly and helpful in guiding my choices, and even threw in some free fried okra, which was good, assuming you like okra- which can be a hard sell. I'd call the interior, "picnic casual". :) We spent about $30 for two "2-meat" combo meals (including 2 sides of our choice), and a roll (which was only ok), an extra half pound of ribs ($6), and a large drink. A tad pricey? Perhaps, but they didn't skimp on our meals and it really hit the spot! They have 3 sauces (original, sweet, and spicy) and you can serve yourself those and load up! Our fave was the spicy, although the guy behind the counter likes his half sweet and half spicy. Sounds like a good call to me! I did not know about the free soft serve custard or ice cream though- probably a good thing! But I thought you should know for when you go. :) read more

Tried to order online. Found it quite frustrating. Unable to follow through with it. So I called it in. I was ordering for all adults but didn't specify. Ended up ordering XL Family because it's for 8 people. Was going to order from catering menu. But XL family was a better deal. The sides are medium and smaller. Wasn't expecting how small they were. Not enough for large adults. I called back with my disappointment. Spoke to the manager. Grateful for the explanation of their menu. And had two trays of sides delivered to make up for it. Thank you for taking the extra time to deliver the extra sides. It was greatly appreciated. However I will order differently next time. read more

We recently visited Dickey's for our first time ever on a trip to Kenosha even though there is one that isn't too far from where we live. It was kind of random, but I enjoyed the experience. It was a solid choice for quick service barbecue. The brisket was good as were the fries, and the prices weren't too bad. I liked the variety of sides that they had as well. The employees at this location were very friendly and the customer service was excellent. We were disappointed that the ice cream machine was broken when we visited, but it is understandable that those things happen every once in a while. If you want something fast that will taste good I would recommend Dickey's Barbecue Pit. We would return! read more

Before people say Im being rude. I went in fully thinking I would love this place. Now I love all BBQ and its super hard to screw it up. But its also hard to have GREAT BBQ. I judge bbq places fully on if they can do brisket even decently well. This place can NOT this is the worst Brisket I have ever had (and I've tried white castles brisket sliders) lol it was dry and chewy and felt like it was sitting out al day long. I did however think the potatoes and macaroni and cheese were good which is the only reason they get 2 stars. Maybe the other bbq is better, but to not have even remotely good brisket is a HUGE turn off sorry! read more

We had the best service today. Apparently my ex husband brings our son in often. Our son is 20 and is severely autistic. I brought him in today for the first time in a while. Desiree greeted us and reached over the counter to shake my son's hand. My son is loud, hops a lot, and has some behaviors that are not appropriate for a restaurant. Desiree remembered him AND remembered his order. Not only that, she helped us and carried the tray out to the table! She also came out to see if we needed anything else! I attempt eating out often and I'll tell you it's a rare occasion when someone looks at us and thinks, "hey, that mom can use a hand"! You have my business here on out! Give that girl a raise! read more

I'm from Texas so BBQ is important to me. I know GREAT BBQ. Even chains have good BBQ in Texas. Now I understand I'm in WI and not all places have the same dedication to BBQ as us Texans do but good golly this place is just disgusting. That's all I have to say. I won't eat here again. Also I tried to phone in an order and I was told brisket was already out and would have to wait a few hours to get some. It was pretty early in the day and I could not understand how they were already out. I'm embarrassed I ate the food here. Never again. read more

Looks like this location is closed. I came for dinner tonight and the restaurant is totally dark and all the furniture has been removed. That's too bad... read more

Honestly. The greasiest bun on the worst tasting barbecue sandwich I've ever had. I wish people could come up with sides that are a little more tasty than soggy mac and cheese or canned beans. The waffle fries were gross. Not even sure why I was even eating waffle fries with barbecue but whatever. The meat was dry and had zero seasoning. Everyone has their own opinions but that was by far the biggest waste of money on food in a long time. Food in general just keeps getting worse and worse as these needless chains keep taking over retail space. Does anyone even have a home cooked restaurant anymore ? read more

good food and good service, good overall vibe to the store and not to busy where you feel there's no free space.

Really awesome combo special today. Smoked brisket with kielbasa sandwich, choice of 2 sides, and a drink for under $10. The Mac n cheese is out of this world good! Brisket so tender and juicy! Really clean and the staff cheerful and courteous! Kudos! read more

Got the two meat plate and it was horrible. Paid an up charge for the briskit and ribs and they should of paid me to eat it. The ribs were dried out and shriveled up looking. The briskit was mush, would of rather had a manwhich. Would have sent it back but I got a carry out and didn't know how jacked it was until I got home. read more
