Dickey's Barbecue Pit Menu Prices (2026)
Dickey's is the largest barbecue franchise in the country, smoking meat on site at every location rather than shipping it in pre-cooked. The menu covers the Texas barbecue standards — brisket, pulled pork, ribs, sausage and smoked turkey — sold as plates, sandwiches and by the pound.
Buying by the pound is where the value lives. A plate gives you a fixed portion at a fixed price, but a pound of brisket with sides for the table generally feeds more people for less. The free soft-serve ice cream in the dining room is a long-standing chain policy and a genuine extra.
