text: Why did I wait so long to try Dickeys nnMy husband and I visited Dickeys on Sunday afternoon for a late lunch The smoked meats on the menu are pretty straight forward pulled pork beef brisket sausage ham turkey and chicken all hickory smoked in their onsite pits Now I know I am in North Carolina where pulled pork is king but I cannot pass up brisket I ordered a meat plate with beef brisket The plate comes with sides and I chose the baked potato casserole and the fried onion tanglers Boy did I choose right You get a hefty portion of meat with a soft roll with pickles and onions You can also choose from a variety of sauces at the sauce bar My husband also got the brisket but got the jalapeno beans and fried okra He said he really liked his plate too The brisket was tender with a nice smokey flavor I chose the original bbq sauce and it was the perfect accompaniment And to top it all off everyone gets free softserve vanilla ice cream It is self serve and it was a great ending to a really great lunchnnThe service was super super nice and attentive I have been plotting our next visit We will definitely be back The bakers stuffed baked potatoes will be next on my list
