Dickey's Barbecue Pit
We operate Dickey’s Barbecue Pit restaurants that serve freshly prepared barbecue-style meals featuring smoked meats, house-made sauces, spices, and side dishes. Our restaurants use a counter-service format, where guests order their protein first, choose sides along the way, and pick up their completed meal at the end of the line. We focus on serving food quickly at affordable prices in a comfortable, friendly setting. Most locations are in shopping centers or stand-alone buildings, and some operate in non-traditional venues such as food courts, stadiums, convenience stores, and mobile units. Our business is built around proprietary recipes, barbecue cooking methods, and a standardized system for food preparation, operations, and customer service.
