Dickey's Barbecue Pit — Restaurant in Santa Fe Springs

Okay, soooo I NEVER take the time to write reviews buttttt this place and experience is just deserving of one.

My boyfriend & I came in around 7:30 PM-ish for a quick meal before picking up my daughter from soccer practice and right off the bat staff was noticeably, genuinely, SUPER friendly and very interactive explaining the menu to us and giving advice on what’s best/most popular.

Once we finally ordered after asking a gazillion questions, they made our food pretty quickly! Making sure to ask us if we needed any sauces, offering one of each so we can try them all (Spicy, Original, Sweet)

The spicy is not that spicy, but still my favorite. The pulled pork is really good, aswell as the brisket. I would assume the ribs are amazing too but I didn’t eat them since those were reserved for my daughter lol They looked very appetizing though

With that being said, food is also 5 stars.

Now I don’t have to drive further to Lucille’s and wait forever. Instead, we can just come to this local spot and enjoy a good bbq meal with good vibes!

After we finished eating, they helped us pickup our trays without hesitation, had a little discussion and off we went!

The customer service overall was definitely 5 stars.

The cleanliness of this place was 100%. It felt comfortable and everything was organized and stocked.

I didn’t get pictures of my food or anything cause I was HUNGRYYYYY but just go and check it out for yourselves (:

We will definitely be back and share this spot with our family and friends.

I didn’t get the 2 gentlemen’s names, but whoever was working the Night Shift on Thursday 11/02/23 around this time —- y’all know who you are!

10 Stars from us & my daughter lol (:

Thank you for delivering the exact definition of good food and...

I dont know if they're having hiring issues or under new management, but things have changed here. The first time I came here the food was cold. I gave it another chance and the food was amazing, so I kept coming back. But the last 2 times, it's was bad and gets worse. The employees look like they're about ready to quit and spit in everyone's food. They do not want to be there at all. They messed up my order twice in one visit. There's always that one guy who is training that looks like hes tired of babysitting. I guess they changed the roll to what they called Texas toast, it was just a regular slice of bread. And the food is back to being cold again. The staff always looks like they have no idea what they're supposed to do and its obvious there is a bigger problem here, and they're always out of the ribs (possibly due to bad timing, but it seems more because the team isn't meshing well and isn't staying on top of it). Maybe in another few months, it will get...

This is my second time having their barbecue. The first time, somebody invited me and I was not impressed. For Christmas 2020, one of my employees gave me a gift card so I ordered food today from the Santa Fe Springs location. First of all, I could not find the restaurant because it is squeezed in between Little Caesars pizza and another low rate establishment. When I got home, I was completely disappointed. I ordered the chicken and brisket plate. I ordered one rib on the side. All of the food was cold to the point that it taste like it was pulled straight out of the refrigerator. The chicken look like processed chicken. It reminded me of a chicken patty you would buy frozen in a bag. It was sliced up nice and neat. I ordered corn bread that was in saran wrap and look like it was store-bought. The potato salad looked and tasted like store-bought potato salad as well. This place really sucks! I would never go to Dicky...
