Dickey's is good barbeque albeit Texas style. I usually hit one of the Dickey's in DFW airport when I'm flying through there for a good, quick meal. The brisket is what they are famous for but the barbeque turkey is good too.

You can take your big Cadillacs and your big words back home! Texas BBQ in NC? Surely they jest.

This place really is awful. They opened one in Winston last year. I'd appreciate a good Texas-style joint, but this is just another chain. Everything tastes frozen.

I think Dickey's Barbecue Pit should have some of our Boar and Castle Sauce. Texas and North Carolina, that's a great match!!!! Try the brisket with B&C, it's really yummy! I take my bottle of Boar and Castle with me everywhere, I wish they would open that up again!
