I first started buying from Dickey’s Barbecue Pit a few years ago, not because of the taste, but because I could buy complete Thanksgiving ham dinners at holiday time. I would donate the purchases from Dickey’s to Soroptimist or the Exchange Club of Tacoma. Since then I’ve bought pre-cooked items for a Rotary meeting at my home, and a deck party. For most people BBQ means ribs and the ribs from Dickey’s are “fall off the bone” good. They don’t have a lot of sauce on them, but Dickey’s offers three types of sauce in their restaurants. They differ in spiceyness. You can add as much sauce as you like to any of the BBQ selections. The ribs are my wife Peg’s first choice. She can buy a rib plate and have enough left-overs for breakfast.
We recently had lunch at the Sixth Avenue Dickey’s with our son Del and his wife Johanna. They both, along with their kids, love Dickey’s. I broke out of my mold and ordered something completely different: a baked potato. The baked potato is huge. Once cut open the server put two ice cream scoops of butter into the middle of the spud, followed by three scoops of sour cream, a sprinkling of cheddar cheese, bacon, and then topped it with the meat of your choice. You can ask for more butter, more sour cream, more cheese, more bacon . . . it goes on and on. For me the final topping meant chopped up Brisket . . . and a helping of onion “tangles.” I could not eat the entire potato. I did eat all of the Brisket, however...
They say the best BBQ brisket comes from Texas. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is a family-owned American barbecue restaurant chain based in Dallas, Texas. Locally, they have restaurants in Tacoma and Puyallup. The meat is good, the prices reasonable, and the servers are friendly. Y’all come!

Legit. Texas. Barbecue. Authentic Texan flavours are coming to heat up the UAE fast-casual dining scene. Abu Dhabi, 10th September 2018: It’s official. Real, true Texas-style barbecue is coming to the United Arab Emirates. Dickey’s, the long established, family operated Texas barbecue restaurant have undertaken their first international expansion into the United Arab Emirates. Renowned for their slow smoked, melt in your mouth, meats and home-style, wholesome Texan food, the first store is set to open in Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi in October 2018. Identifying a gap in the UAE market, for American Barbecue, F&amp;B industry heavy weight, Youssef El Habbal, CEO of Serenity Hospitality, explains that this is the type of food that the UAE customer has been looking for. “Our menu, based on the tried and true recipes of a 77 year old Texan heritage brand, that has nearly 600 stores across the US, has been slightly tailored for our market. We are proud to introduce slow smoked beef brisket, beef ribs, beef sausages, smoked turkey and chicken with an extensive range of home style sides from barbecue beans and mac &amp; cheese to creamy spinach and waffle fries. It’s all the food you want from America, but easily accessible right here at home,” explains Youssef. Recognising that barbecue has various meanings in different cultures. American Barbecue focuses on slow cooking meat in specially designed smokers using special hickory wood, which allows the meat to slowly tenderize and capture the delicious smoky flavor.

Make no mis-steak: owners of a soon-to-open barbecue restaurant are excited to bring the chain to Bozeman.
“Food and beverage has always been close to my heart,” co-owner Laurie Zabawa said. “I’ve always wanted a restaurant.”
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is slated to open in January, Zabawa estimates. The Texas-style barbecue chain will be fast casual, with customers able to order at the counter and have their food ready to go by the time they get to the register.
There will be a drive-thru, indoor and outdoor seating and fire pits. Zabawa said she chose to open a Dickey’s because she liked the modern industrial design. She said it’s important to her and her fiance and co-owner, Mark Jones, that the restaurant be affordable.
“I think a lot of the businesses coming to Bozeman are fine dining,” she said. “We’re lacking something a little more casual.”
Dickey’s will serve almost every kind of barbecue meat you could think of, with slow-smoked brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken and turkey. Every meat plate comes with a buttery roll, and side dishes include baked potato casserole, mac ’n cheese and green beans. Meat is smoked on site every night for the next day.
Dickey’s has more than 500 locations in 45 states, with restaurants in Billings, Laurel and Kalispell, and this will be Bozeman’s first location. Between Zabawa and Jones, the two have managed or owned four businesses in the Bozeman area, and they said they’re optimistic opening a new business, considering the growth. The city can sustain a lot of new businesses, they said. They might even look at opening locations in other cities in Montana down the road.
The restaurant will be located at 1040 Fowler Ave., Unit 107, on the corner of Fowler and Huffine Lane near Rosauers. With a large rotunda and patio, Zabawa said it stands out. She’s excited to be at the quickly-developing part of town, she said, with good access to the university crowd.
“It’s just going to have great exposure,” she said.

Hip-Hop, family fun, boxing, marching bands, fashion, a heath pavilion, dancing and, yes, even cotton candy and double dutch all in one place?
