Brett and I continued the Friday lunch tradition of BBQ, and the opening of a new BBQ restaurant within reasonable driving distance intrigues us no end.
Dickey's Barbecue Pit opened in Overland Park at 7284 W. 121st St a week or so ago. After entering, we were in a line to order that was Oklahoma Joe's-esque, just not as long. Big menu seems like decent prices, but remained to be seen.
I ordered the Rib Plate, which came with 5 beef ribs, 3 slices of pickle, 2 slices of onion and a roll. Added to that was a large iced tea and a side of jalapeno beans. Ended up at about $10 all up.
Brett ordered the Two Meat Plate, with pulled pork and sliced brisket, also with iced tea and the jalapeno beans.
The ribs were good. Smoky, a little spicy from the rub, and tender. They were decent sized, I got the short end of the slab and was rewarded with an extra rib. The beans were red beans with some kind of jalapeno addition, but I just couldn't taste it. The sauces were allegedly original, sweet and spicy, but in the end I couldn't really tell one from the other.
Brett's pulled pork was good, but he wasn't at all impressed with the brisket. It was very dry, which may or may not be a hallmark of Texas beef bbq.
Nice touch was the big dill pickle jar (free) and the soft serve ice cream (also free) available. All in all, I probably won't go back. The portion sizes were good and the ribs were good also, but in the end, I'm pretty sure I would go to either Jack Stack, OK Joes or Broebecks in preference to here.
