About
Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants
Dickey’s
Barbecue was founded by Travis Dickey
with the goal of authentic slow smoked barbecue. More than 72 years later,
the Dallas-based family run barbecue franchise still offers a quality selection
of signature meats, home style sides, tangy barbecue sauce and free kids
meals every Sunday. All meats are slow smoked on site in each restaurant.
The fast-casual family-friendly concept has expanded to over 380 locations
in 43 states and holds the title of the world’s largest barbecue franchise.
This year Technomic named Dickey’s “Fastest-growing restaurant in the country”
and they were also named “Best Franchise Deal” by QSR Magazine.
