Victory Never Tasted So Good - Dickey’s Ribs Among America’s Best

We have some smokin’ hot news to share and it is a big one. Eat This, Not That just named Dickey’s Barbecue Pit one of the “6 Restaurant Chains Serving the Best Fall Off the Bone Ribs in America.”

That is right. Our ribs are officially among the best in the world. This recognition is more than an award. It is a celebration of every pit master who starts the fire before sunrise, every team member who serves our guests with pride, and every loyal fan who knows that real barbecue takes patience, passion, and a whole lot of smoke.

Why Our Ribs Reign Supreme

Eat This, Not That said what our guests have been saying for 84 years. Dickey’s just gets it right. Every single time.

Our ribs are not just good. They are legendary. Slow smoked until they are tender enough to fall apart, seasoned to perfection, and brushed with our rich, sweet barbecue sauce that leaves you wanting one more bite. It is that perfect balance of sweet, savory, and smoky that turns a meal into a memory.

This recognition reminds us what we have always believed. Dickey’s is not just America’s favorite barbecue. It is a leader in quality, flavor, and tradition.

The Six Hour Secret – Best BBQ Ribs

Our secret is no secret at all. It is simple dedication to the craft.

Every slab of our signature pork ribs is

• Smoked on site for up to six hours every single day
• Seasoned with care and a touch of Texas pride
• Hand brushed with our famous sweet barbecue sauce

That slow and steady process is what makes every bite fall right off the bone. Juicy, flavorful, and unmistakably Dickey’s. It is the kind of quality you can taste, smell, and feel from the very first bite to the last rib on the rack.


And that is why we are proud to be known as the most popular BBQ chain in America.

What the Fans Are Saying

National recognition is incredible, but nothing beats hearing it from the folks who come hungry and leave happy. One guest featured in the article said it best – “Always hits the spot. The ribs and the brisket were so tender and the Frito pie was so delicious.”
It is feedback like that that keeps us going every single day. From the tender brisket and smoky ribs to the crowd favorite Frito pie and all of our homestyle sides, every plate tells the story of quality, care, and a genuine love for barbecue.

Here’s to the Pit Masters Behind the Pit

This win belongs to the incredible Dickey’s teams nationwide. The pit masters, managers, cashiers, and crew who bring their passion, pride, and purpose to every shift. You are the reason our guests feel at home.

So let’s take a moment to celebrate. Fire up the pit, grab a rack of ribs, and taste what six hours of slow smoked love really means.

Because at Dickey’s, victory tastes sweet and smoky.
