Dickey’s Barbque

[perrjojo]

Has anyone tried it yet?

[alwann]

Had the pulled pork sliders, which was actually chopped pork. Enjoyed it, but I've had better. Tasty Cole slaw. Overall, perhaps a little over-priced. Don't go there lunchtime. It's a small place and gets mobbed with people from the construction site, car dealership and medical offices.

Has anyone tried it yet?It's a chain. Several have closed in Green Bay and Sheboygan, Wisconsin (where I live part-time).

I am not a fan of chain restaurants. Hard to compete with Oakwood around here...

Agree, it's ok, not great, not bad and works for a quick meal. Haven't tried their ribs which I will next time but I'm also a fan Oakwood. We also like Artman Country Smokehouse for Briskets and Pulled Pork.

I tried them back home. One visit and I had to rename the potato salad "mustard pudding". Nuff said.

So what did you think about the meal you had at Dickey’s down here?

Chain restaurants are that way. The food tastes the same at each location. It's designed that way.

I went to Dickey's recently. The place is very very small. You walk in and there were a few tables on each side very close together. That was it for the tables. The line to order goes in between the tables and out the door. They had a few tables set up outside. I thought maybe there was more seating in the back and when I asked was told no. Then the sides of sauce, utensils, napkins and drinks are literally right behind the chairs people are sitting in so it is very difficult to move around to get your drinks, etc. It was very hot outside and I did not want to sit outside but had no choice due the few seats inside that were occupied. When I lived in GA, there was a Dickey's and it had ample seating and the line was against the wall so you were not right on top of people sitting and eating their food. They were out of pork ribs, the ice tea container was empty and counter for getting condiments was messy. They were very busy. I felt bad for the owners who maybe are first time franchise owners? They were trying as hard as they could. My food was very good though. I think the owners will regret occupying such a small space. When the snowbirds come down and it gets even more busy, people will literally have no where to sit. Out of curiosity, I peeked in next door to Flippers (never been there yet) and they had ample seating, large and you weren't right on top of people when ordering your food. I actually saw people who walked into Dickey's, saw the chaos at the condiment counter and the line almost out the door and decided to go to Flippers instead.

You may want to try Artman’s Smokehouse Rt 42 in the Mulberry Grove area. They are open limited days and hours.

Based on one visit, I think these owners are going to struggle.

The counter help yesterday didn't have a clue. The brisket was cut in a large, fatty slab WITH the grain. That makes for very tough brisket. They need to cut thin AGAINST the grain. I told the owner and while he offered a replacement, he seemed surprised when I told him how to slice. The meat didn't remotely look like the pictures on their menu. He was so pre-occupied playing with his baby on the patio. When we left, he said, "how was everything"? Didn't even remember our discussion from 10 minutes earlier. The mom was in and out numerous times to play with the baby.

They need to get a babysitter and focus on the restaurant.

The kid on the serving line looked like a thug with his caps on sideways. He was training a girl and both were deer in headlights.

A customer asked for a menu and the only adult on the line said "they are over by the register. Help yourself". Required the customer to snake through the line when he could have taken 2 steps and grabbed it for her.

I really hope they succeed because I have been in other Dickey's and they are not bad. Not great but definitely acceptable. I think these kids pushed all-in before they were ready.

We'll give them another shot in a few weeks to see if they make any progress.

Tried Dickey's, IMHO doesn't hold a candle when compared to M&M Smokehouse- rte 44 behind McDonalds @ I-75--FOOD WISE

[mmac321]

Not great. The sauce is not good and the free ice cream even worse. I went the second day it was open and the line out the door was so bad that I left. I returned two weeks later, no line and few people.

It's just a chain franchise restaurant. Don't expect much

Oakwood is a chain. Have you tried I Barbecue in Fruitland Park.

I don't think of Oakwood as a chain. They have four locations and the new take out place.

I think it is the best ribs and sides ever. I love the lima beans, and slaw, and corn salad, and slow cooked green beans with ham and baked apples. The excellent servers have been there for years. We go to the one on 441/27 YUMMY!

I know this is about the new Dickey's Barbecue place, but Y'all should try Oakwood. Half rib, falling off the bone tender and wonderful sauces. I like the Southern Sweet one.

Thanks Gracie, I'm gonna give this place a try next time in Leesburg.

Bingo.

Most tender ribs and brisket I ever had. M&M.44th&I-75 behind Macdonald’s. Better than oakwood.

Yeah M&M is great, but it's 10 miles away.

[Chatbrat]

On rte 44 you're looking @ 10 t0 12 minutes--M&M Smokehouse is hands down the best barbecue in a 50 mile radius--don't count on dining, its a super take out place--Blows away Dickey's ,Sonny's, and the Oakwood--well worth the ride unreal barbecue--look at the reviews--feeds truckers off of I-75, must agree truckers know good barbecue and they flock to this place

Sure. I stopped there today for takeout, on the way back from Inverness. I just would not make the whole round trip.

Well, you could stop at Russell Stovers for dessert!

[Chatbrat]

Got to M&M Old Hickory Smokehouse, today, brought back 2 rib dinners , with collard greens, beans & coleslaw--cost was $30.00--round trip from our house was 18 miles-IMHO--the best ribs we've had in the state of FL--not baby back-, St. Louis style fab

Today I drove 86 miles to shop container store, marshals, Best Buy, and joes. 10 miles is a drop in the bucket when I am up north. I am in a burb and closest grocery or gas is 8 miles one way. But I am still comfortable driving multiple miles. But that might be due to younger age, and a comfy car, that stops on its own, won’t let me change lanes if there is someone next to me and let’s me know I am parking too close to a pole. Besides if you aren’t out exploring, there is always sitting in front of the tv or just watching life go by. I am enjoying a chocolate cupcake and a really good almond sparkling wine from joes for my efforts today
