Owner Robert Dunning says one must-try dish is their finger-licking pulled pork sandwich. Dunning the says he keeps the sandwich simple, but the pork’s rich, hickory-smoke flavor is the real deal. He also says it’s important to put the time into barbecue to make sure it’s flavorful and tasteful. “Barbecue takes an art. You have to take time and effort to make it that good product,” Dunning said. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit still slow smokes all meats on-site at all three of his Dickey’s locations in Metairie, Harahan and Gretna. The menu features the classics like beef brisket, pulled pork, ribs, polish kielbasa sausage, jalapeno cheddar sausage, smoked turkey, and marinated chicken breast.&nbsp; The spot also offers a selection of homestyle sides from baked beans to macaroni and cheese. Buttery rolls are served with every meal along with complimentary ice cream. And here’s a good scoop for parents: Kids eat free on Sunday. Dickey’s also features their pulled pork in a “Tailgate Party Pack” for tailgate parties or events. Created in partnership with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit

Abilene Reporter: BLOG: We're not pulling your leg with this one

View the blog post <a href="http://lakesandlattes.com/2017/10/11/exploring-columbus-dickeys-barbecue-pit/">here</a>.&nbsp;We were busy running errands around Lewis Center when hunger hit. We needed something fast and delicious and a quick Yelp search led us to Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. And we’re so happy it did because it was really yummy! We thought it was the perfect spot to take the little ones so I couldn’t wait to share our experience. We were greeted with a warm welcome and the first thing I saw was the “Deal of Day” board. I made a mental note of the KIDS EAT FREE Sundays – what a deal! The menu is pretty large and featured BBQ favorites like brisket, pulled pork, kielbasa, turkey, and ribs. The choices ranged from a basic meat plate, to tacos, sliders, sandwiches, and even “smoke stacks” – Frito pie, bangers &amp; mash, or brisket-topped mac &amp; cheese. They also had a variety of kids meals to choose from for $4.50. Since it was our first time, we wanted to try as many things as we could and settled on splitting a 3-meat plate. Our little one picked a kid’s plate and we made sure to get a good variety to sample. We selected: pulled pork, beef brisket, and jalepeno-cheddar kielbasa. The plate came with two sides, and we chose their mac &amp; cheese and potato salad. The little one selected turkey with a side of green beans. Both meals came with buttery rolls and PICKLES! IT WAS A TON OF FOOD! (How does one person eat the 3-meat plate!? We couldn’t even finish it and we split it!) Seriously! Look at how much food we got for less than $20… I loved that they served their bbq sauce warm. There were three choices – original, sweet and spicy. I got a bit of each to try and I really loved the spicy barbecue sauce! It definitely had a kick. Also – they have FREE ice-cream! Can you believe it? Soft-serve style and you can help yourself. I’m not usually a huge fan of soft serve, but this one was really good. It tasted like frozen custard! Between the free ice-cream and the free kids meals on Sundays – Dickey’s is definitely a fun and affordable choice for families. &nbsp;

Barbecue Masters for Disaster, in partnership with the American Red Cross, set up shop in Houston early September, serving over 5,000 meals a day to Hurricane Harvey victims in the area. "We found people that haven't eaten for three days, and we gave them a hot meal... it's not race, it's not a color, it's not a creed it's nothing, it's not a religious thing... it's about people working together... we're all human beings, and we have to reach out the help each other," said Gene Martin of BBQ Masters for Disasters. The congresswoman put on her gloves and apron, jumping at the chance to serve meals alongside volunteers. "I come up here everyday, because I don't have the money to survive to eat everyday, so I come up here to get meals. it's like God sent angels up here from all around the world," said Michael Baines. I guess it is true what they say-- the best way to the heart is through the stomach. And we see no exceptions when it comes to BBQ!
