Dickey's Barbecue Pit, Wildwood FL

We tried to eat at this Dickey's location for the first time a couple of months ago, only to find the door locked during regular business hours in the middle of the day. Decided to give them one more try this week, this time they had signs saying "new management". It seemed that the changes were for the better, our BBQ sandwiches/sides were delicious and the service was fast & friendly.

The new owner has brought this business back & made it even better! The food portions are awesome & Alicia the new owner is very helpful & accommodating! Definitely will be back

Just had dinner here and it was delicious New owners have done an amazing job with the turn around. Alicia made my food quickly, with the most pleasant smile. I'll be back soon.

This location is nothing shy of the best! All the employees have smiles on their face and the food is always fresh & never fails to satisfy my bbq cravings. Truly the best bbq around!

A Friend recommended me to come here the food was great great manager she was amazing friendly great atmosphere looking forward coming back here

Thank you Alicia for the ribs they were great and very nice and helpful will definitely will be coming back again.

From what I understand they've recently had a change of owner and management. I've personally never had any issues with this location. They're open a bit later now which is nice.

The food is great and portions are decent. I usually order take out and everything is always quick and packaged nicely. In terms of correctness, presentation, and consistency of orders, you really can't beat this place, especially if you're wanting BBQ.

I recommend the meat platters as they offer some good variety.

I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here. I had heard they were under new ownership and management. Thank goodness! The service was amazing. Very pleasant attitude. She seemed to love her job. She was very good at her job as well. Dickey's is my favorite BBQ. So happy to see it back to what a Dickey's BBQ should be. Big hooray for the new people! Thank you!

10/10 recommended! Just tried for the first time. I WILL BE BACK! Absolutely awesome atmosphere and a great staff!

Just ordered 50.00 worth of food. Waited until it was picked up to say they were out of chicken. Advertise fresh cut fries but they are actually frozen, advertise green beans and bacon but they are just plain canned green beans. Refuse to answer when you call their number. Terrible service and terrible food for the price. Wouldn’t recommend.

This is by far the worst barbecue food I have ever had, and the customer service matched the quality of food. I ordered a 3 meat plate and a 2 meat plate, all 3 kinds of the meat we got were extremely dry, it’s the middle of lunch and they couldn’t be bothered to cook another Mac and Cheese which is ridiculous considering they close at 9pm. The one Mac and Cheese I did receive was hard and crusted like it had been sitting out, on top of having a weird chemical taste. The green beans were cold and unseasoned like the manager that hung up on me. I will admit the fries were very good, and the coleslaw was the saving grace for the dry overcooked meat. 10/10 would not recommend.

They claim to want to resolve your issues but I’ve emailed them twice since their response and have yet to hear from anyone another company that doesn’t care about customers

I honestly enjoy eating at Dickey's BBQ. However, this specific location does not reflect the standard of food quality and service I've come to expect. I've only left one bad review prior to this one in 10 years.

Pros
They were open?
The employee was friendly

Cons
- Most of the menu items were unavailable
- The items that were available had issues
-The Brisket was cold, I'm assuming it was left over from yesterday and chilled overnight.
-The green beans had no seasoning
- The employee hinted to being late for work and didn't have the time to prepare before opening.
- It took 15 minutes for the employee to even take my order.

I'm from Texas and have been cooking BBQ for 20 plus years, and Dickey's is normally a decent substitute while I am traveling. This location has definitely made me think twice about eating a Dickey's moving forward.

Showed up at 11 and they told us they weren't opening until 11: 30. Almost gave them an extra star for telling us. But, I didnt.

The bbq sauce was very good. The chicken was dry and the sides were bland. The soda machine was out. The one person working was friendly.
