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.
