Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Newark

My husband and I decided to try this place a few days ago and thought it was so good. Everything we ate was amazing! We spoke this place up to a bunch of people and decided to take a friend today. I'm not sure what happened between our first visit and today, but the service was bad to say the least. Our whole food was mixed and the person who brought us our food tried to get my salad from my husband's tray with her hand to put it on my dish. I stopped her from doing this because it seemed strange to me that she would take her hand route verses with utensils, but whatever... then we had all the right sides with the right meat before the right people.... the food was terrible!!! We were so disappointed about how amazing it was only days before. We even ordered more food as we were so impressed for the first time and this time annoyed $78.00 with 85% of the food in the garbage. Extremely disappointed.

I stopped in for a 1/2 rack to go. Please keep in mind I have traveled a lot. I don't think there ribs are for me! I'm not to sure about the other food they have there. I would not buy ribs again. They had a very well done layer on the top. The price's seemed expensive to me.

Simple and delicious menu! Loads of TVs tuned to sports. Fantastic staff, very friendly. Josh and Donna run a top notch BBQ joint.

Great food. Great prices. very clean. Great staff. Check the schedule for live entertainment. I will definitely be returning often .

We have been to other Dickey 's restaurants and was excited to see this new one open up. First of all this is the first Dickies to feature servers and a full bar. We were greeted by the hostess and seated at a booth. Our waitress was soon there to get our drink order. She immediately informed us that the restaurant was still in beta mode until the grand opening. We ordered sweet tea which can often be bitter and nasty at some restaurants but there 's is good. Okay passed the first test. They also have a flavor mix soda machine but without the machine in front of me I feel like I need a mix menu on the table or just order straight Coke products. Since they were still working on opening I mentioned how the menus are are small and hard to read. She agreed and said that the manager has already discussed that and it was a corporate menu that they put out and wanted to do something about it. Another thing I noticed about the restaurant was it had a dedicated takeout area. Unlike some restaurants were take out is an afterthought and you have to stand around people sitting at their tables awkwardly waiting to pick up your order. We gave our order and I set my timer 11 minutes later our food arrived. I got the pulled pork with bbq beans and green beans and the wife got the brisket with fried okra and potato salad. This of course allowed us cross sampling the each other 's plates. This stared a debate I liked the pork better than the brisket Butt the wife preferred the brisket over the pork. I will note however that while the pork was not cold it was not as hot as it could have been. This may be attributed to the dining area being so cold, it was 69 degrees outside and felt warmer. The bbq beans was good but a little one note so I remedied that with adding 1/3 cup of the pork. Boom problem solved. The green beans pushing the limits of pepper but still enjoyable. We both forgot about the table sauces until the meat was gone. With moist flavorful meat it is unnecessary. The wife enjoyed the potato salad and was glad it was not drowning in mayonnaise. The fried okra was fresh and crispy and the batter seem familiar and will drive me nuts to figure it out. Other items of Interest are that it is a spectrum Wi-Fi hotspot for those who have an account. Finally as we were getting ready to leave the waitress who has probably visited our table at least 8 times I was being a little intentionally needy just to see what would happen) told us that to keep our cups and get refills on our next visit. This would save my family $10 on every trip that 's even better than a coupon.
