Dickey's Barbecue Pit
Fast-casual barbecue restaurant
America’s love affair with barbecue shows no signs of slowing, and Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is there to soothe the craving. The first location of this Texas-based company opened in Dallas in 1941; today, Dickey’s Barbecue is still owned and operated by the Dickey family. The full-service restaurants offer a range of barbecued meats, home-style sides, and desserts, as well as catering options. In keeping with the chain’s down-home traditions, each Dickey’s location slow smokes its own signature meats overnight.
