Dickey's Barbecue Pit

Made a quick stop for a bite and while others in the car went to McDonald's, I ventured across the parking lot and chose to try Dickey's Barbecue Pit. The gentleman behind counter running the show introduced himself as Thomas and could tell I was a Lil overwhelmed by the multiple choices of the menu. He kindly inquired if I had ever been there or if I was traveling. After my response of traveling, he generously offered to help me with explaining some of the more preferred travel sandwiches, and then recommended his favorite. Now, this is the kind of service that invites you in and makes you feel like you belong. His pleasant demeanor not only directed me to the right choice for me, but made me want to by the meat by the pound so I could share this little taste of joy I experienced by choosing a local restaurant over the standard fast food establishment cookie cutter food. I ordered the brisket with cheese sandwich with onions and peppers. (He even cut the sandwich to make it more manageable while traveling) It is in the details of the person who serves you that seems to make the food taste that much better. The BBQ sauce was delicious !!!❤️🔥😎. I have a sensitive stomach and spicy does not always agree with me, so the gamble on visiting this establishment could have made a 17 hour drive even longer, but it was a perfectly seasoned balance of tingling spice to the tip of the tongue that mellows to a mouth watering sweetness. He was kind enough to put the sauce in a large enough container for easy access dipping while driving. As for the other three in the car, they were definitely glad I bought enough to share the love and embraced the flavor of the brisket, and sauce with the same impressed surprise I had. Thank you Thomas for making this quick on /off highway stop, one of the most satisfactory stops of this trip. Dickey's BBQ sauce is definitely a one-of-a-kind and should not be missed by travelers! ❤️🏐😎🌇💯

I don't eat BBQ but maybe twice a year and I was really impressed with the customer service I received at this establishment. I was greeted and asked what I wanted and I told the gentleman I wasn't quite sure. He immediately began to elaborate on the menu and along with some of his favorites, some of which he was quite happy to report he had made himself that day. I commented on how cheerful and knowledgeable he was and he apparently has been in the business over 17 years. That was enough for me to order what he thought would be the best thing for me to try. And he did not disappoint. My meal was great but the service was even better. So, thank you Tomas for your dedicated service with a passion you don't see everyday.
