The kitchen slow-smokes all meats on-site daily. The brand began in 1941, when World War I veteran Travis Dickey opened the first Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Dallas, Texas, with his wife, Miss Ollie, serving sandwiches while he manned the smoker. Their sons, Roland and T.D. Dickey, took over in 1967 and grew the business across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Franchising began in 1994, and the brand has since grown to more than 400 locations across 33 states and around the globe. Catering has been part of the operation for over 60 years.

A Big Yellow Cup Rewards program lets members earn 10 points for each dollar spent, and gift cards are available in restaurants, at retailers, and as e-gift cards.

Its 4.10 rating reflects positive feedback from the customers who have reviewed it, and its track record rests on a large base of 585 customer reviews. For Star, that means a barbecue option with a long-established smoking tradition behind it.
