Vintage Dickey's Barbecue Cafeteria

Real Family.
Real Folks.

Homegrown and Family-Owned

In 1941, Travis Dickey began cooking up traditional, hickory-smoked barbecue in a small restaurant nestled in the heart of his hometown of Dallas, Texas. While we’re still family-owned, we’ve undergone some big changes since then. Today, what was once a humble barbecue pit has become an international BBQ franchise with more than 450 locations across the United States and eight countries. And we’re expanding our restaurant franchise opportunity in prime territories worldwide!
