We have noticed a turn around for a local barbecue restaurant in our area due to new employees and a commitment to better service and quality menu items. Located at the entrance to the Walmart Supercenter in Summerfield, FL on Highway 27 /441 is DICKEY'S BARBECUE PIT. The Texas Style barbecue there has become very popular with the staff having to work hard to keep from running out of popular menu items. One of the highlights of the menu is the Pulled Pork Sandwich for only $4.99 when ordered with their App. The sandwich features tender pit cooked barbecue with available onions, pickles and slaw on request. We believe this is one of the best values for Texas Style barbecue. Several excellent sauces are available. Noteworthy are the recent new employees who really provide outstanding service. We were pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant and witness the turn around. Best wishes to all.

Do they cook their food and smoke their meat on-site?

Their Mac and cheese comes in a boil in bag, so my guess is no onsite smoker

Yes, Dickey's Barbecue Pit smokes their meat on-site in hickory wood burning pits:

Dickey's smokes their meats low and slow for 12–14 hours a day in open kitchens where guests can watch the Certified Pit Masters.

Dickey's smokes a variety of meats, including beef brisket, pulled pork, St. Louis style ribs, polish sausage, spicy cheddar sausage, smoked turkey, and marinated chicken.

The flavor is authentic and not overbearing due to the 12-14 hours slow cooking over hickory wood.

We went to a Dickey’s here once. Now, the hub teases me with it saying things “if you don’t quit doing whatever, I’m going to take you to Dickey’s”. Enough said.

If you want real barbecue, go to Mission.

Interesting. We had the opposite experience. Have been to Dickey's three times (Brownwood) and thought the brisket was excellent. I can't speak for other menu items as we always go specifically for brisket. I will say that the atmosphere is somewhat lacking in there, but not enough to ruin the experience.

Dickey’s is a chain, and most of them are franchises. So the quality varies within the chain. There’s something about when they reach in to the warmer and pull out the brisket that’s wrapped in plastic. No bueno.

when my hubby was still alive, that was his fave place to go for bbq, -he said it was the best he'd ever had

Is the Summerfield location better than the Traverse Plaza location?

I recently went to Dickey's in Brownwood and I was very disappointed. First, my food was room temperature (at best). I asked for it to be reheated and the guy behind the counter said the ovens were off and it would take 20 minutes just to get it to temperature. Add to that, the ribs were a very sad excuse for ribs.

I would recommend Oakwood BBQ on 301 or in Fruitland park.

Unfortunately, Oakwood doesn't have brisket. Shocking, I thought brisket was #1 among BBQs.

As a former brisket judge in Texas I’d say your options are limited locally. The next time in Ocala, try Big Lee’s Serious BBQ. The brisket is superb and the pulled pork melts in your mouth. One of the only places around here where I found burnt ends too. After eating, we always leave with a pound of each to enjoy for the rest of the week. The owner started with a food truck and beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network channel. Also, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives did a segment on them a couple years ago.

IBBQ is good. Some of things they have are truly better than at Mission; they have fried okra for example. Mission has desserts that are better, and the decor is excellent.
