Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Watkinsville

Let me start by saying that the service here is great. The people working here are always so and have gone out of their way to provide great service. Unfortunately the food is pretty underwhelming. For the price, I was expecting something much better in quality. The only meat out of everything my family ordered that was any good was the brisket. Everything else was not great, lukewarm, and just not that great in taste. The sides were also not enjoyable; my wife's bean tasted like a can of Bush's beans that we'd make at home. All in all, disappointing.

This can be a very good place for BBQ if you make the right choices. At the moment, that would be the beef brisket and mashed potato casserole. Most everything else is quite average. The pulled pork is lame, no bark. Most of the sides seem like they are from cans. Beef brisket and potato casserole. That's it.

We had the voucher to buy a record free. A fair deal. The chicken and pulled pig is great. The Mac

Awesome sides, sauces and brisket is pretty good. It could use just a little more chare. But it is definitely juicy and tender. All the flavors were there. I will definition stop here on my way back from the AT!

The food was outstanding with a fantastic variety of BBQ sauces. The macaroni was creamy, served hot, and very flavorful, while the baked beans were excellent. The corn on the cob, dipped in butter, was absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch, with a wonderful staff who greeted us with smiles. Unfortunately, the ice machine was down during my visit, but I was pleasantly surprised by the best pecan pie I've had in years, which made up for the lack of ice cream! There was a wide selection of meats and sides available. Overall, it was one of the best briskets I've had in Athens, and I had a great experience. I will definitely be returning!
