Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Folsom

This is truly 'good food fast ' vs. 'fast food '. It is a little more expensive than many fast food options, but the food quality is on par with any full-service BBQ restaurant I have visited. My favorite is the two meat plate with pulled pork and brisket, with mac cheese and beans as sides. Not only is it the best around, the portions are generous. By the time I enjoy the meal and the complimentary ice cream cone (or 2), I always leave full or take some home. The service has been exceptional, which I attributed in large part to the young man who cuts and preps the meat. First of all, he has been there a while. Secondly, he preps the meat like a real chef (vs. an average fast food worker). He is thorough and efficient, and goes beyond his primary job... on one visit, someone didn 't show up to work, leaving them shorthanded. He and another person behind the counter really stepped up and keep the quality and service at a very high level. Of course, the food is amazing, especially for a chain/franchise. I met the owner one a couple of occasions, which explains why this location maintains good help and high quality food, even in his absence. I highly recommend.

Great service. The two young ladies behind the counter the day I was there were so nice! BBQ is very tasty and tender. I can't review the sides, as I did not partake. First timers would do well to look at the menu online as the list of combinations and sides can be overwhelming looking up at the board (this is a Cafe counter type restaurant). Google maps had a hard time getting me there. It is nestled in the Walmart parking lot across from Kohl's and hard to see from the street.

Delicious BBQ and sides. Sometimes a line, especially Friday at noon. Decent portions. Excellent pulled pork, spicy cheddar sausage, brisket, chopped brisket, ribs, and other meats. Waffle cut fries, fried okra, creamy cheddar spinach, two types of beans, salad, potato salad, baked potatoes, etc. Free vanilla ice cream cones for dessert. Reasonable prices, but not cheap.

I like the ribs. They have several sauces to choose from and even free ice cream cones for a treat. The brisket is always juicy and they have good side dishes. Portions could be a bit larger for the prices.

We came here because of a buy one get one coupon in Folsom Style magazine. My husband and I had combo meat plates with brisket and pulled pork. They were both pretty solid bbq. We also enjoyed their spicy bbq sauce which went really well with the meats. Oh and you also get a free vanilla soft serve cone with your meal. Kinda pricey over all, but you do get a lot of food.
