Dickeys Barbecue Pit

Came here for lunch today and tried the loaded baked potato! AMAZING! Service was wonderful, I was greeted when I came in and all the ladies had smiles on! Dickey’s has great food, service and they support local Nonprofits in the Kerrville community! They have my business!

I really wanted to like this. Let’s get the good out of the way: the ladies working here were terrific. I was welcomed the moment I entered, and they were quick and attentive. With tip, I paid $26.57 for my meal, a two meat plate with brisket, spicy sausage, Mac and cheese and fried okra. For price, the portion size was paltry. The food left me completely, well, just unhappy. The brisket’s flavor was average, but it was dried out with an unpleasant texture. The sausage was filled with processed cheese product whose flavor I can best compare to the worst ballpark nacho cheese I’ve ever had. It’s like it was a low cost filler. It left a terrible coating in my mouth. The Mac and Cheese was too thick with flavor similar to the sausage filler. The okra had an off note as if it had spent too much time in a freezer. The Texas Toast was tasteless and cold. Really hate to say this b/c the staff was so nice, but I didn’t even eat half of my meal. Kept me from overeating I suppose, although the portion size was on the same mission. Did I mention how lovely the staff was?

(This place is the McDonalds of Barbecue) I Purchased the 3 meat plate and what a skimpy, overpriced and disgusting disappointment! (See detailed picture) The brisket was lukewarm to cold, no seasoning, along with being tough, extremely dry and stringy. The chicken was a freaking frozen chicken breast that had been smoked, no seasoning as well and was like eating cardboard! What happened to getting a quarter, half, etc, of a juicy and tasty chicken?? (Cost cutting at the sacrifice of quality) The sausage was cold, dry, had a odd texture and taste, along with being full of gristle. (poor quality) Potato salad was as generic and tasteless as what you buy at Walma*t! French fries should have been called “burnt grease sticks” as they were cooked at the wrong temperature. The toast was okay, one success. The employees weren’t attentive or friendly, and they were preoccupied talking to each other. When speaking to them, they didn’t make eye contact or ask relevant questions about the order. (Great customer service) The bottom line is that this place is just another bad fast food restaurant and a mistake that will never be made again! I was in the restaurant at 12:00 noon on Thursday May 16th 2024 (National Barbecue Day) and you could hear the crickets, because of the lack of customers!
