Franchise Owner Reviews
Hear from our Franchisee Family
Many of our franchise owners fell in love with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit as guests first, but it’s not only our hickory-smoked meats and specialty sauces that attract Dickey’s franchisees to the barbecue business. Our comprehensive corporate support, various revenue streams, and scalable business model prove to potential owners that there is even more to love about Dickey’s. Don’t take our word for it, though. Hear it straight from our franchisees!

I am new to the Dickey’s system, having opened my first location in December 2016. I chose Dickey’s because it is a growing, energetic brand. My family has been in restaurants my whole life, so I have experience with several other franchise concepts. So far, I can say that I appreciate how Dickey’s invests upfront in its business and its people. Communication has been great as we have settled in with Dickey’s. I have been able to get any questions answered by the home office, and now we have an online forum to talk with other Owner/Operators, so I feel that I am heard. I’m looking forward to opening several locations in my home state and am proud to be a Dickey’s Owner/Operator.

I first joined the Dickey’s system in 2000, and now I own three stores. I really love the Dickey’s franchise system and I am always reminded why. Dickey’s has grown a lot, and with that growth has evolved its communications. I am very happy with the two-way communication we have now. Dickey’s has changed a lot in 16 years, but the best change has been our marketing. I’ve noticed that we reach more people now with the way we do our marketing. Overall, I’m very happy with my decision to join and stay with Dickey’s. I’ve been successful with this concept because of their ongoing training and reinforcing the standards. Any Owner/Operator can be successful with Dickey’s model – stay engaged, work in the store and do catering. It’s a great recipe for success and happiness as a business owner!

The thing that excites me the most about being a Dickey’s Owner/Operator is the interactions with our guests. Regulars who have now become family.

I started as a Dickey’s customer first. I was passionate about the brand, loved the food and the family atmosphere, so I was immediately drawn to the opportunity to partner with Dickey’s when it came along.
