If you're in downtown Frederick, this place is a must-visit! It's right in the heart of the main…read moredowntown area, and before we even walked through the door, we could smell the incredible smoky aroma of the meats from outside. That alone had us excited. We were greeted immediately, seated right away, and had plenty of time to look over the menu. There was a huge variety of options, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. We started with the pickle fries, which were a great appetizer. I was also thrilled to see they offered a non-alcoholic drink menu. I ordered the Peach Mule, and my husband had the cream soda, both were excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food came out quickly, and the portion sizes were enormous! I ordered the Turkey Ranch Bacon Mac & Cheese, and it was absolutely delicious. I could barely finish a third of it, so I had plenty left over for dinner later. My husband ordered the brisket plate, and he loved every bite. Everything about our visit met, and honestly exceeded, our expectations. From the food and service to the atmosphere, it was an outstanding experience. We left completely stuffed, very happy, and we'll definitely be back! Our only regret is that we forgot to order banana pudding to go.

After reading all the positive reviews I was excited to try this place. Haven't been able to find…read moregood bbq here like we had in Texas. Went for lunch today with my son. Ordered onion rings for an appetizer. Reading the menu I couldn't find brisket anywhere. Not on the nachos, one two or three meat plates, or sandwiches. All I ever get is brisket and sausage. Finally found the brisket. It's in small print under each item for an upcharge of anywhere between $5 and $10. For example the sandwich is $19. They are happy to sell you the cheaper meats at a premium but if you want brisket you have to pay even more. If we wouldn't have already ordered onion rings we would have left. Son ordered a burger and I ordered fries. Ate almost all onion rings and one was raw and still had powder on the inside. Fries were good, son's burger was good, but we can get burgers anywhere. I did bring the onion ring issue to the waitresses attention just so she could let the kitchen know. When she brought the bill, they had taken the onion rings off. I did not ask them to do that, but they did it anyway.

This place has become part of my travel routine. It happens to sit perfectly on the way to one of…read morethe sites I visit for work, and it's also down the street from the gym I like to stop at when I'm in town. So naturally, I plan accordingly. My usual strategy: fly in early, stop here, order the big meat platter, eat about half of it, go lift, and then finish the rest on the drive to site. Balanced lifestyle, right? Last visit I had turkey, brisket, sausage, and ribs, and every one of them brought something to the table. Great smoke, great flavor, and plenty of sauce options if that's your thing. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was easygoing, and it had that comfortable, family-run barbecue feel that you hope for when you walk into a place like this. If I'm anywhere near the area again, this will definitely be one of my stops. Hard to beat good barbecue that fits perfectly into the travel-and-gym routine.

Some of the worst BBQ I've ever had. I ordered pork ribs and received beef. There is no way these…read moreribs were cooked within the past 24 hours: they tasted old, like they've been sitting around for a long time. The sauces (conveniently packaged in Little plastic cups) just tasted like any average jarred sauce from the grocery store and couldn't help these ribs. Loaded mashed potatoes were a thick glob of fake potatoes that were a gluey, sticky, tasteless mess. I took one bite and threw the rest away. The only thing I was able to eat was the coleslaw. What's worse is the check-out process forces a minimum tip. There is no sense of pride in this food. I cannot recommend and I'm sad that I spent $16 on such a waste of food.

We had Dickey's about a month ago at a different location and the brisket was some of the meat we…read morehave ever had. We live close to this one so we decided to get it again, but to our disappointment it was some of the worst meat we have ever had... The brisket was no way in any means true brisket. I would classify it as some bad jerky. It was so dry and not slices, but just small pieces of meat. This really tarnished our experience with Dickey's and we don't plan to come back.

Posted to Google already deserves to be shared here as well since I'm at it today…read more.. Smokin Dave's absolutely delivered last weekend. We ordered the Not So Teeny Wahine platter to share and added an okra appetizer, and everything that hit the table was legit. The meats were exactly what you want from a good barbecue joint: smoky, tender, and packed with flavor without drowning in sauce. You could tell the pit did the talking. The okra was a great starter too, crispy without being greasy and a perfect way to kick things off. Sides can make or break a BBQ place and Smokin Dave's nailed them. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, the mashed potatoes were comforting and buttery, the collard greens had that slow-cooked depth you hope for, and the red beans and rice brought a little Southern soul to the table. Overall, just a really solid barbecue experience. Great flavors, generous portions, and the kind of meal that makes you want to come back and try the rest of the menu.

Love the welcoming, casual, and authentic BBQ atmosphere along with everything else this place offers! I don't know if you can go wrong with how you order but my favorite is to get Dave's Smokin Platter which can come with one meat ($18), two meats ($22), or three meats ($26)! Any of these come with choice of two sides and cornbread. My go-to's are the brisket and pulled pork for the meats and fried okra, red beans and rice, or baked beans for the sides! If you are a first timer and want to try several meats- the Pitmaster sandwich ($16.25) is a great option as it comes with brisket, pulled pork, and jalapeño cheddar sausage!
