If you’re looking for a solid BBQ fix in San Diego, Dickey’s delivers a reliable, no-nonsense plate that hits the spot for a first-time order. Here is the breakdown of the one-meat combo.
The Main Event: Brisket
The brisket arrived looking like a proper Texas-style cut—well-presented and served at a comfortable, warm temperature. The taste itself was great, though the experience was a bit of a tug-of-war with the sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. While the sauce has an excellent kick, it’s a bit over-enthusiastic and tends to mask the natural smoky flavor of the meat. If you’re a purist, you might want to ask for it on the side to let that brisket shine.
The Supporting Cast (Sides)
Fries: Easily the star of the sides. They were seasoned well and offered a great crunch.
Mac n Cheese: Pretty good and creamy—exactly what you want to balance out the savory meat.
BBQ Beans: Met all expectations for classic BBQ beans. They provide that familiar, hearty comfort you look for in a pit-style mea

The taste was great however the fact that I paid over $80 for 10 regular chicken nuggets and barely any meat in my plates is ridiculous.

LOVED the boneless wings! I appreciate the amount of flavor & sauce given especially compared to other places.

Not bad. The beef is tasty. The turkey is a little dry. But overall, it's delicious.

Food was tasty but took forever and they didn't include silverware, napkins etc and the portions are small for the price
