Reviews for Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Alexandria, VA
The food is good but the service is just aight and for the love of God please train your employees how to cut a brisket. It's... supposed to be cut across the grain but they cut it with the grain and it makes the brisket all shredded and weird Read more
I really enjoyed the Brisket sandwich. However, they did not have any onions or lettuce to go on the sandwich. Service was... great! Read more
I hate to leave this review cause this Dickeys has always been my favorite go to as well as my daughter?s fav. However, owner... needs to know that my hubby and I attempted to go there about a week ago for dinner. I say attempted only because we ended upleaving before we even had the to opportunity to place our order. Upon entering we were surprised to find that most of theseating inside was still not set up for customers (post Covid). There were about 3 people ahead of us waiting to order. Therewere 3 employees running things that night. We are not sure why everyone in line was waiting to even place their order? Notreally sure what the employees were doing either? It did appear there was one online order picked up while we waited. As wecontinued to wait in line just to place an dine in order we noticed one female employee with very long hair appear to bechecking the food being cooked and her hair was literally hanging down in and around the food that was cooking. She did nothave on a hair net nor were her pretty long locks pulled back in a ponytail. That turned us off from eating there more thanthe slow service. Although it was very slow service that night, only one of the 3 customers ahead of us had been helped as westood in line for at least 15min just to place an order, it was the hair hanging around the food that we decided we did not wantto eat there so we moved on to a different restaurant that night. Sorry Dickeys. Will try again later. Hopefully the restaurantwill be back to enough seating for all and employees back on their game. Just wanted you to know. So it?s been 5 months now? Iemailed the social media group at the email address given about my experience? they have been unresponsive too. Still waitingfor a reply!! Guess no one from This business really wants to work or fix problems. That?s too bad. I haven?t been back tothis restaurant since and probably will not return since no one cares to make improvements even when notifi Read more
Great bbq! I love the pulled pork and brisket, and the sauce is a big hit with the whole family. The sides are delicious too,... especially the baked potato casserole! The staff is very friendly. This is our new go-to for bbq. Read more
A decent restaurant with decent food. There wasn't a line when I went there but the service was slow. The employees did not seem... to work cohesive with each other. As for the food it looked good but the sandwich came out with cold meat and the pulled porkwas slightly under seasoned. Could have been the day but a decent restaurant for a decent price. Edit to reply: Employeesshould be more attentive to customers instead of being on personal phone calls. Meat should be warmed up coming out of plasticbins. If bread can be toasted then meat can be warmed. Read more
One of the best pulled pork sandwiches I've had. It was so tender, not dry at all! Love their bbq sauce as well. Waffle fries... were perfectly cooked n seasoned. I will be returning!! I will remember pics next time. It was just so good, I ate it before Icud remember to take a pic **Edit: Remembered pics this time. We had coupons for a free pulled pork sandwhich with a purchaseof a large drink. Last time I tried the mild bbq which is good if u don't like much heat but I wanted more kick so I got thespicy bbq sauce this time and it was delicious. Its about the same level of spice as Louisiana hot sauce, so not over poweringfor me so I cud still taste the food. There's outdoor seating available as well. Read more
Tried the Beef & Cheese, Fancy Pork, Beefy Mac, Chicken Spinach, and Chicken & Cheese tacos and then the Original Westerner... sandwich. The tacos alone were okay but tasted better with a little bit of BBQ sauce. The Original Westerner sandwich on theother hand was an impressive mix of brisket and Kielbasa that was the perfect balance of both flavor and moisture; not too sweetand not too salty. The service was pleasant and the dining area was clean. Only so much country music I can do with at a time,but the atmosphere was good overall. Read more
I really like this place, the owner is the nicest man. It's a shame that Mission gets all the love, because IMO Dickey's will... always be the best bbq! Read more
