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 franchise with more than 500 locations. And we’re expanding in prime territories worldwide!

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for passionate franchisees who share our values and our love for great barbecue served with the hospitality you can expect from a Texas-grown brand. When you open a Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, you get an extra helping of benefits to support your franchise… and then some.
