Dickeys Barbeque - Bradenton

What a pleasant surprise to find a family-run tasty grill restaurant! The owner, Dan, met me at the door and welcome to me what I thought was very nice! He explained the difference there many types of grill, but I chose my all-time favorite pulled pig. Boy, I was surprised to see the beautiful bunch of meat on this sandwich for less than $5! The barbecue beans I had with him were excellent and so is the homemade iced tea. All-in-all, a wonderful experience and I will definitely be back! You are the first place winners in the Herald Tribune 2018 best Barbecue Prize, and now I tasted why! As Dan told me, let them talk the meat!

This was our first time eating at Dickeys and we had a great experience. We came after a long day of visiting family about the holiday and near the closing time, the staff was nice and friendly. The location was clean and the food was delicious. Our children love BBQ and enjoyed eating here so we went north before our flight. Thank you for good food and service. When we returned to the north, we went to another Dickeys and the service was not even close to what we experienced at your location, still great.

We hired Dickey's for the full service catering for our wedding with 107 guests on May 6th, 2017. They were fantastic! We met the owners Pam and Dan for a tasting and creating the menu. They are the sweetest people you will ever meet. They made everything so simple for us. They were on time and very professional. The food setup was very beautiful and matched with the theme of our wedding. They were very clean and organized. The beef brisket was cut on site which we loved. The hot foods stayed hot and the cold food stayed cold throughout the dinner service. They cleaned up and packaged the leftovers for us clearly labeled and dated. Our guests loved the BBQ as much as we do and are still talking about how good it was. Thank you Dickeys for helping to make our day special!!!!

Loved the meats and the sides I chose, I had the ribs, sausage, and chopped brisket with the potato casserole and Mac and cheese. My husband had pulled pork sandwich as well as baked beans and Mac and cheese and all of the food was magnificent. The ONLY complaint I would have is the sweet tea is the gold peak sweet tea which if I'm expecting southern I'm expecting some real fresh brewed dark tea but besides that I loved it all!

I love BBQ, but it's always a bit of a game room that tries a new place, sometimes it's good, sometimes not so good. Dickie was good. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich plate with two sides for $9.59 plus tax via their website. My order was ready when I arrived and the staff was pleasant. The pulled pig was very good. No unexpected hard pieces or chew pieces, just well pulled pig. The sides were decent and the containers were full. I chose Bbq beans and Mac Cheese, neither exceptional, but acceptable. The Mac Cheese tasted more like Power Deluxe in a box than something I would expect in a restaurant. The beans had a hint of spices. Overall, I was happy with my meal and will visit again.
