Dickey's BBQ opens today in S-Vegas...

[fishwater99]

It's not far from the Little Dooey..
Wonder how they will do..

The GM is a Bulldog Grad, as is the regional manager...

 

[Hump4Hoops]

I'll take a great local landmark over a national chain any day.

Not that I don't wish the best for the bulldog grads involved.

 

[hailstate19]

I tried to go there the day of the Kentucky game because little dooeys looked so packed. I wondered why it wasn't open on a Saturday.

At that time I didn't know it had not even opened yet. Now I know why it was closed lol.

 

[57stratdawg]

It's pretty decent. Honestly, if you did a blind taste test between Dickeys and Little Dooeys, you might be surprised at the results.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Kids eat free at Dickey's on Sundays. Just sayin...

 

[dawgstudent]

Westerner sammich with pork and the spicy cheddar sausage = Winner.

 

[hailstate19]

its good but not as good as dooeys.

dooeys is good but I dont think its the best in Starkville. I like the place with the bbq pits outside. The place im thinking of doesnt have inside seating at all. I just cant remember what the place is called.

Petty's

 

[57stratdawg]

Petty's?

Rondayvoo sux!!!1!1!!!

It's not an official SPS BBQ thread until it is spoken. And The Shed is overrated!1!!1!!!!

 

[hailstate19]

yeah thats it.

Petty's can kiss my ***. I've been an avid supporter since 1996. I used to drink Bud heavys with Old Man Petty at the Petty's (3) by the police station. I was his #1 fan. That ended about 3 weeks ago.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

I've never understood the Petty's love.

May be bad luck, but every time I've gone it's been a fatty mess.

this needs to be elaborated upon...

 

[FreeDawg]

I think it's the 4th or 5th fastest growing chain in America per restaurant news last month.

 

[aTotal360]

Nothing groundbreaking really. Let's just call it crappy service.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

We have dickeys here. Good luck.

I've been to a Dickey's not sure I will go back. The pulled pork was really fatty!

 

[ATL Reb]

Dickey's made it about 90 days by my house. Too much local competition here.

I wanted to be a fan since it was fast service, but the meat was always dry and even the sauce couldnt alleviate the dryness. Even the waffle fries were bad. Not sure how you can screw that up. Good sweet tea though.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Not a Dickey`s fan at all

 

[Bobby Ricigliano]

"Crappy" is a mild description.

I ate at the one in Hattiesburg once. Brisket could have been beef jersey and the portions were that of an appetizer. Don't plan on giving a 2nd chance

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

I used to go to often, here on the Coast, for the sliced brisket. Quality has slipped a little, but I'm not calling it awful.

 

[MaroonNation]

Too many cats

 

[MaroonNation]

The Dickey's in Flowood is some of the best in the area. And you get free ice cream.

Beef jersey? Is that a reference to Renardo?

 

[tenureplan]

I think its that big dude from Jersey Shore

 

[KurtRambis4]

All of the Dickey's

I've ever been to have been at least as good as Little D's. IMO, Petty's is better any way.

 

[crushing]

I always liked Sonny's (not the same sonnys out of Jackson) out by the MSU golf course off of 82. They had a spicy BBQ sauce that was great. I think it burned down, and they reopened under new name.

 

[drt7891]

What are your thoughts on Dreamland?

This...and if you don't get the "deal of the day" it can get expensive for the amount of food. There is one next to my office, in the same building, 2 suites down. I've been once.

 

[aTotal360]

Sux. Their ribs aren't tender and the meat doesn't pull off the bone. And serving white bread at the table is so 1995. Not cute anymore. Next question.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I hate predictive text

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

Genrally agree, but there are a few exceptions

Jim & Nick's is good everytime I go and it has survived here in Memphis. Famous Dave's has been good when i have gone to them while traveling. I don't think there is one in Memphis, but when out of town on business, clients will take us and no real complaints on it.

Morris's BBQ

I always liked Sonny's (not the same sonnys out of Jackson) out by the MSU golf course off of 82. They had a spicy BBQ sauce that was great. I think it burned down, and they reopened under new name.

Bobby and Shlyn (Sp?) Morris opened it back up several years ago. They slowed down their hours of operation, focusing mainly on catering. They sold it to family, I believe, and really limited their hours. I haven't been there in a couple of years, but it was hands down the best bbq in the area. Petty's service is beyond awful.

 

[Palos verdes]

Dickey's is fine. I just hope it doesn't add to the revolving door of eateries and bars in Starkville. Something closes every month it seems.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Anybody remember Al's BBQ truck?

Skinny little guy, best BBQ I've had. His thin spicy sauce was pretty much perfect. A sandwich was a giant hunk of pulled pork between two white bread slices, wrapped in aluminum foil. By the time you got home the bread was pretty much dissolved by the sauce. Pretty sure he put his two kids through State with that truck, really nice fella.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Sonny's triple cheeseburger dipped in spicy BBQ sauce FTW.

 

[dickiedawg]

I'm excited about it.

Yeah, another chain in a poor location. But another 'Q joint can't possibly hurt. Looked like they had some fair catering prices, too.
This is heresy to say, but some folks (gasp!) don't like little dooey. My in-laws won't eat there.
Me, I love it, and not just their pork. Their fried catfish is as good as anyone's and they have the best chicken tenders in town, plus their selection of side items is really good. Also, their Large Dooey Combo is about the best deal going for lunch.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Plus you can take that big yellow cup, fill it halfway with ice cream, then top it off with coke or root beer on the way out.

Not that I've ever done that...
