Dickey's Barbecue Pit

"This is a review of the Catering service at the King George, VA location: Bottom line up front: Worst Catering experience ever. Not recommended under any circumstances -- you will be disappointed. You've been warned. Details: Decided to cater Christmas Eve 2023 dinner for the extended family instead of the traditional many-hour grind in the kitchen, and choose Dickey's due to convenient proximity and family preference for BBQ. I met with the store Catering expert in-person, reviewed the menu, and placed a $300+ order. Food was supposed to be picked-up pre-cooked, but cold (reheat for ~1 hour at home needed was what was explained at the time of order -- this was acceptable and factored into our dinner plan). However, at pickup, the store staff attempted to give me the order, minus 3 main entrees, and the Turkey was uncooked (3-5 hours needed to fully cook it at home). Further, the staff was disoriented, unsure what was supposed to be in my order (despite having the receipt available), and much discussion amongst themselves on what condition the food was 'supposed' to be in at pick-up (i.e. cooked vs. uncooked Turkey, for example). This is a painful review to author, as I do enjoy Dickey's BBQ, but clearly their head is not in the Catering Game. Business process help needed in this area, from a professional catering service. Needless to say, these circumstances wrecked our holiday dinner plan for Christmas Eve, and I won't be trusting Dickey's with my Holiday plans in the future. ~Former Dickey's Fan"

"I highly recommend no one going here anymore. To preface, I have always enjoyed dickey's since I first had it in MS. But this past time I have been turned off to this specific location. I went and got a #4 couple days ago. That is a brisket sandwich and a side of okra with a drink. That came to around 18 dollars when I signed the receipt, however, when I checked my bank account when it posted, they charged me $42.60....so while the sandwich was good and okra was burnt.....It was not worth this nor this is not what I paid. I'm not hurting for money so whoever did this you need it more than I but I will no longer provide this business with my support and recommend others do the same. Thank you but no thank you."

"Gotta say… This place has stepped up their game! The great review is easily because of the super friendly and welcoming STAFF! You come in and they greet you, they offer the special. And incredible value for 12 bucks! I had the pulled pork and jalapeño kielbasa! Fantastic flavor! Great job to the Dickies team!"

"Barbecue chicken and turkey were good, the sauces are tasty too. Great service too. I brought some brisket burnt ends home for the next day and they were great even without sauce. Back again and great again."

"Loved this Location!! My husband and I were driving through on our way back home and wanted good BBQ. I had the Polish sausage, chicken breast, and ribs. (3 meat platter) I also had Mac and cheese, coke slaw, and green beans. Everything was great!! I even got a second helping of sausage to go for my dad I loved it so much. One last thing. The people who work here, (the guy and girl) fixing the food orders/taking orders were wonderful. The lady was in a great mood and talked to everyone like they were her friend. Loved her!
