Dickey’s Pit Barbque

I used to love eating at Dickey’s at other locations around town. I’ve even used them for catering parties. I guess times have changed. I went in looking forward to a nice sliced brisket meat plate and got a big glob of gooey, fatty meat. I told the kid preparing it that I preferred the leaner part of the meat and he told me they «pound out» the meat to break up the fat. What happened to the nicely sliced pieces of brisket that they use to offer???
It was such a disappointment and I don’t know if this is standard now in the franchise to serve cheaper meat that is all fat with just a taste of meat or if this new store has their own way of reducing their costs by giving a cheaper quality meat. Either way, this Texas-​born girl will have to look for a new place for good barbeque.
