Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

I’ve been coming to this place for many times now, always great food and friendly staff!

This place can be hit and miss. When it’s good, it’s good. Good amount of meat and tasty, sauces are flavorful and warmed (bonus points) and side dishes usually fresh, you wait for anything fried because they cook to order which is ok by me.
When it’s bad, it’s bad. the meat is dry and flavorless to the point the sauce couldn’t save it. The staff get awnry later in the shift and start messing with each other or act out of line in Front of the customers. I don’t need to hear someone whisper scream lyrics while you prep my food, nor do I need to see you thrash around and throw your gloves on the counter and they put them on again and continue to prep food.
We returned out food the last time we were here due to the aforementioned issues and fortunately the manager was on duty and took care of the return quickly.
Well give it one more shot before make a final decision, hopefully it will be the charm

I went to this Dicky’s for the first time over this past weekend & I was very pleased! I ordered the brisket & pulled pork, both meats were tender & moist. All of the food was fresh & had great flavor. The employees were very nice & gave off a welcoming vibe. & who can beat the ice cream cone?! Definitely a must for bbq if you’re in the area!

Been coming here since they opened. Food is always good and well priced. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because we got a dry turkey once for Thanksgiving. Other than that. I love the BBQ sauce, ribs, pork, brisket, pretty much everything is good.

Service is fast, meats are fall of the bone soft, the only con I can say is that BBQ is bland

I was very surprised to see some of the negative reviews about the Dickey’s in Westminster. My family visits this location frequently, and we have never had less than a great experience with the food or the service. I, too, post a negative review when I have a bad experience with any business, but only after I have attempted to resolve the issue before leaving the business. In this particular establishment, I am pretty sure that if the ham or brisket was dry (or any of the other food-​related complaints that were noted here) had been mentioned to the owners, they would have corrected the issue right away. We’ll keep going back. In fact, I think I just decided what to have for dinner tonight!

I am giving this place 5 stars, and not because I liked it… actually, I found it quite good, but because my 18 month old LOVES it. I got some pulled pork with the sweet BBQ sauce and he ate almost my entire serving. I mean, he pigged out on that pork :) which is super rare for him. He is usually a pretty picky eater. Plus a free ice cream cone for him when he was done!
I haven’t had a bad experience yet here. We shall return. Loved the people too! Great services.

Excellent bbq. I’ve been here a dozen times or so and I’ve been happy each time. They cut the meat in front of you, and even ask you how you want it cut. The sides that I’ve tried are great, beans and mash with gravy. They have 3 types of bbq sauce that you serve yourself. Sauce is next to the FREE soft serve ice cream.

Brisquette is pretty dry and was kinda warm. Most of the flavor was in the bark and thats ok, but it did not seem like it was smoked.

I am a self proclaimed BBQ enthusiast. I’m Texan. I worked at a top 50 (per Texas Monthly) BBQ restaurant in Fort Worth for 5 years. I know what good Texas BBQ is.
We ate at Dickey’s in Allen, TX for awhile a long time ago. It was good, had family coupons frequently and was closer. Not the best TX BBQ, but not bad. Then one day we showed up to find that they were selling fish, and changed the look of the kitchen to «hide» more from view. We never went back, That was maybe 12 years ago,
I visited the Thornton location after moving to Denver and working near there. There’s a separate review there. I came to expect $ 15 for lunch with a sliced brisket sandwich, two sides, and a ¼ lb of jalepeno sausage. Always filling. Ordered the same thing at this Westminster location and wish I had not. The staff wasn’t overly excited about a paying customer. Thornton isn’t either though-​but the quality of food makes up for it. What I received on my plate was so sad. Almost like the girl serving me was mad at me for something and I don’t know why. See the picture and you’ll understand.
I ate quickly and left. I won’t go back to that location with Thornton just about the same distance in a different direction.

I really enjoyed my sliced beef sandwich with onions/​pickles. The brisket was really tender and moist. I added some of their spicy barbeque sauce onto the soft and buttered buns… delicious. I had the potato casserole for my side, it was good also. My only minor complaint was the sweet iced tea. It was not strong, at all. It almost seemed to be watered down. Other than that, everything was solid.

So amazingly awful all the way through. Overpriced, lousy service, crappy atmosphere…
And let’s talk about the food, shall we? The ham was dry. The brisket was even drier. The beans were almost cold. The fried okra was largely flavorless.
Skip it. Just terrible.

I have only ordered take out from here. I think the chicken and pork is amazing, they cook the meat really well. There is not too much fat hanging off of the meat also, which is nice. They serve it with warm soft buns, yum. I haven’t dined in yet, I’ll let you know when I do!

After returning here a few times, mostly because the next closest BBQ place is 20 minutes further, I’ve taken more of a shine to this place. The food in general is probably worth about 3 stars but the friendly staff earns another star.

Awsome BBQ. We have been looking for some good BBQ and I’m telling you this is the real deal. The smoked meat was juicy and flavorful to perfection, and the sides were also awesome many to pick from and some are very original. I will defiantly be back. The prices are great for the portions size. and the people that work here are friendly and helpful.

Ugh.
Disgusting way overpriced food.
I would be better off cooking for myself. That’s not pretty either.

Been here twice already and loved it both times, will definitely be back soon! The turkey is fantastic, and some of the best ribs I’ve ever had — when you say «fall off the bone», this is what you mean.
We are so happy to have another choice in food along Sheridan to break up the terrible drag of «do you want pizza, Taco Bell, Burger King or McDonalds again?»
It’s very family friendly, especially when you get to have a free vanilla ice cream cone at the end of your delicious BBQ meal. I am very much looking forward to bringing our family back here soon.

How funny that I have to go to a whole other state to try a restaurant that’s sitting in my own backyard!?!
I’d never even heard of Dickey’s before some work associates took me to this NW Denver location. They said it was BBQ so I pictured something like famous Dave’s. It was nothing like that. This location was small, with little tables throughout. You walk in and you can just smell the BBQ sweetness! The staff was friendly and the service was quick.
You walk through and they make your order right in front of you, similar to Subway or Chipotle. I went with a recommendation from my colleagues and ordered a one meat plate which includes 2 sides and a hot roll. I opted for the Honey Ham as they happened to have it as a new menu item (other options were normal BBQ offerings like brisket, pork and chicken). I tried the Green Beans and Bacon and the Potato Salad, although the side options were many. Everything from Cold Slaw, to Fried Okra, to Mac & Cheese. My dinner was $ 9.99 and I felt it was reasonable for the amount of food I got — the serving of Ham was more than I could finish!
The ham was delicious! Funny enough, I didn’t try the BBQ sauce. You add it yourself. It smelled amazing but the meat was so yummy, I didn’t need it so I skipped the extra calories. They smoke all their own meats and I have to say the ham was perfect! I didn’t even have to cut off any fat, just thick tasty pieces for my pleasure. The Beans were not great, the potato salad was awesome!
Now that I know about this place, I’ll definitely try it again back in Vegas. Dickey’s… it’s great BBQ! Who knew?

I think this might be more of a 4 star place, maybe four and a half… I hate when people rate on experience, service, appearance, or other inconsequential things… RATE the goods, folks, come on!!!
I’m from the South, and this just might be the closest thing to Home, aside from Famous Dave’s. I’ve tried Brothers, Southern Hospitality, Yazzoos, and this is #1 or #2, for sure.
The place might look a little divey, but I was pleased with the food. You get what you pay for, right? The prices are reasonable ($ 8-​$ 10 bucks a plate or so…) and I think the portion you receive is fair. They had some sandwiches and some other things that were priced lower, and I think they have daily specials, too. The sides were really tasty and well made. We had the okra, mac and cheese, and the green beans. Delish! The meat was flavorful and tasty. I personally like their BBQ sauce… a thin peppery sauce is what makes for a good meal. I don’t get too much into the sweet sauces. Try it!

I want to say I travel around the country eating BBQ for fun. This was my families first time here. Our fist impression was an amazing smell as you drive up. My second impression is why do they have three people watching one guy take and make orders when there is a line out the door? After a short wait we got our food and it smelled awesome. We were surprised by the good amount of portions we got. We ended up ordering too much. While we were eating the building got kind of smokey, little to smokey for my taste. We did like the fact the owners were there walking around checking on people, same ones standing around watching two people do all the work.
Although I did like the sauce and the food. It’s not Moes. I will definitely be back though considering it’s location to my house.
