Dickey's Barbecue Pit

Had lunch here, looks like a back in time place. Nice and clean which I appreciate very much. The staff so friendly and help us bring our meals to the table. The meat was a little dried but overall was good. I’ll say the ribs were my favorite. My sister order the chicken and that one was too dried. Also order the brisket plate with green bean and slaw. My dad liked the brisket plate as well with the corn bread.

The good things - service was great, mustard potato salad was good, the bread product they give you was delicious. Now the bad thing - I ordered a brisket meal. The aforementioned extras were as I said. Only about half the brisket was edible as there was a lot of fat in what I ordered. I hopefully will be able to include a picture. The brisket it's self was pretty good. My wife is from Oklahoma and recently we spent 6 months in St. Louis working. If you ever eat barbecue from those areas, you will realize that barbecue in the west will never measure up. We have tried a multitude of places here in Washington and Oregon. I don't hold this establishment at fault for that. It is what it is out here in the west. I felt a 4 rating was a little lenient as only one thing was wrong, albeit the main thing we went there to eat. I felt they deserved better than a 3 though. I would suggest when they prepare a diner's food to watch how much fat is in the serving. A little fat is fine, but not half the meat.

Ok i had a 5star now oh no. Sat in drive through 20 min. After being told once "one min ill be rite with you" then ordered the simplest thing. A fretos pie with pulled pork and sweet BBQ. And what is given. I have no idea. Meat. Fretos. Bacon. Green onions. Sprinkle of cheese. And thats it. What the.... its just fretos beans cheese and meat..... told "we are really busy inside" no ones inside. Ill post pictures. TRAIN YOUR STAFF OR QUIT AS MANAGER!

Let me start by saying the FOOD is beyond amazing. I come here about every 3-4 months when I make it anywhere close to Spokane. The prices are decent, and you really can't find better food! We load up every time we go just to make sure we have some for the next day! The only thing I will say, the staff is subpar when it comes to friendliness or service. This has been the case the last year or so. No "Hello, Welcome, How are you? , etc." They barely acknowledge customers until they are ready to help them. The male cashier had no table side manners whatsoever and seemed to be irritated he had to cash us out. Over half the tables were dirty and needed to be wiped down, the ice-cream cone stand had chunks of cone all over the counter and floor. It just all needed a good wipedown/sweep. If they had been really busy, I could understand, but there were only 2 other families in there. Maybe we arrived right after their lunch rush? Either way, if you want GREAT food, this is absolutely the place to go. Just maybe get it to go?

Food was fine but nothing else was. No ice in the machine and when my wife asked the lady behind the counter she was pretty snappy, soda machine wasn’t ready and we had to wait 5 min after we got our food to get something to drink, ice cream was just liquid, and the place was so hot inside. Definitely don’t think we will be back anytime soon.
