Homegrown and Family-Owned
In 1941, The Dickey Family lit the first hickory pit in a small barbecue joint in Dallas, Texas, igniting a passion for authentic, quality Texas barbecue. What started as a humble family venture has grown into the world’s largest barbecue franchise, with 866 locations across eight dynamic concepts. Staying true to our roots while embracing innovation, we proudly deliver legendary slow-smoked barbecue, foster thriving communities, and create unmatched opportunities for our franchisees – all while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

In Better
Barbecue
You won’t find better barbecue in the industry. Thanks to eight decades of experience and more than 30 years in franchising, we’ve mastered the fast-casual barbecue scene. Our authentic, craftsman-style barbecue is slow-smoked in hickory-wood pits by experienced Pit Masters day in and day out. Our mouthwatering sides are made from original recipes developed over the years in our open kitchens. Are you drooling yet?
