Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Watkinsville

I placed my order in advance, giving plenty of time, but still had to wait 15-20 minutes for my food. Once I got home, I discovered that one of my sides was missing. The food itself was only average, at best, and wasn’t worth the price we paid. I can now remove this restaurant from my BBQ list. The only positive about Dickey's is that they are open on Sundays when our two favorite spots, G Brand and Tamez, are closed. If it had been any other day of the week, I wouldn't have even considered trying this place.

I recently picked up an online order that included an XL Mac & Cheese and a large baked beans. The Mac & Cheese was well-wrapped with a lid and saran wrap. However, when I placed the bag in my car, the lid of one cup of baked beans spilled all over my car. How was I supposed to know I needed to check the lids on the cups? That situation was frustrating enough, but I was also surprised to find that the “large” order of baked beans was actually just two small cups. Really?? I left feeling quite disappointed.

Overall ratings: Food: 4/5, Service: 5/5, Location: 5/5 for Watkinsville. The restaurant is located on a corner near a strip mall with a grocery store and a small Mexican restaurant next door, so the traffic can get quite busy. However, there's plenty of parking available both in front of and behind the building.

The BBQ sandwiches are outstanding, and we really enjoy their fried okra.

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.
