Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

I eat at Dickies at least once per week. Great bbq sandwiches, mac & cheese, and coleslaw!

Ehhhh. BBQ is fickle, but it’s really not fun when it’s dried out and over-​priced. The food here was nothing special, but it was BBQ. The sides were average, but the waffle fries were pretty good. I thought the portion size was on the small side.

I enjoyed the food here. The Robb’s were flavorful. The price was right. On Friday they offer «Full Rack Friday» in which you can purchase a full rack of ribs for $ 15.

Officially, because of changes in your management style, this place now ranks higher than their neighbor across Hwy 14! Way to go Nixa Dickey’s – you’ve successfully wooed me back to your smoked meats! (See my tip below).

I am a bbq officianado, I live in KC and eat bbq multiple times per week, I like this place, I get the two meat plate. great brisket with whatever meat I am in the mood for, the creamy slaw and green beans both are very good! In general I am not a chain guy, but I think this place is good.

Pulled pork is excellent, doesn’t even need sauce. Guess this place is under new management and am happy to have a BBQ place in Nixa

I ate here with my wife for the first time a few days ago, and we both enjoyed it. My pulled pork was very tender, and just the right amount of smoke. I like that there are more than one sauce. There are plenty of sides to choose from. My green beans were delicious.
A couple of days later, I brought a friend for lunch, and he liked it just as much as I did. About 20 bucks each time for two, but it was good!

Great bunch of folks who truly support our community! They catered a meal for our church and gave us a great deal. Also, when a 9/​year old requested them for his birthday lunch, they let his mom pick up the order before opening so she could get it to school on time AND they comped it for the birthday boy.
Meat has good flavor. Dining area is low-​brow but come on, it’s a BBQ joint. Free ice cream is a nice touch.
Not the cleanest place in town but not gross.

New ownership in the last 3 months has made a HUGE difference. Great BBQ.

Kinda slow, but good barbecue.

First visit. 2:30pm on a Thursday.
We each had a coupon, buy a drink for $ 1.99, get a free pork BBQ sandwich. We showed her the coupon, she started making the sandwiches. Someone came out and said «we’re out of hamburger buns», so she made them on rolls.
We decided or order a side. 1 side = $ 2.00, 2 sides = $ 3.00.
She took us to the register, said «Your total is $ 9.76».
But (I questioned) $ 1.99 + $ 1.99 + $ 3.00 = $ 6.98.
She said it was $ 1.00 extra each for the roll instead of a bun. But they were out of buns. Then she proceed to tell us that the buns and rolls both have the same amount of meat. So why were we charged an extra $ 1.00 each per sandwich when THEY ran out of buns, and buns and rolls have the same amount of meat?
So our $ 3.98 drink & sandwich coupon deal, upgraded to $ 6.98 with sides, cost us $ 9.76 with tax.
But wait… I’d asked if they were busy today because the place was empty. She told me they’d had one birthday party earlier, about half a dozen women in their 80’s.
When we seated ourselves, I went to get BBQ sauce. The three canisters and the holder they were in were covered with dried on sauce (gross).
The pork BBQ had no smoke flavor. The waffles fries had no seasoning. About ¼ of the tables had empty paper towel rolls.
So what were they doing for two hours before we came in that they couldn’t take two minutes to wipe down the BBQ sauce containers and refill the empty paper towel holders?
Nobody asked how we were doing or if our food was ok. We left, there was no one in site or behind the counter. The door made a bell ring when we opened it, no one came out or said «thanks for coming in».
Extremely poor customer service. Food was bland, dry and unflavored. Seating area was dirty and no paper towels…
I’m really bummed that Bandana’s left. If you want BBQ, to go Buckingham’s. You’ll definitely be disappointed if you go to Dickey’s.
