text: Dickeys is a small but clean restaurant located in a strip mall next to the Factory Outlet Center You walk in order your food and have a seat They will bring it to you if you are dining in or call your name when your takeout is ready to go They serve Texas BBQ with the traditional accompaniments dill pickles raw onion and jalapenos if you choose nnI find the brisket to be good It is very tender and juicy That is no small achievement with brisket One odd thing though I have been to Dickeys several times and never experienced the smoky flavor the other reviewers describe I am not complaining because their meat is really good The outside of the meat is black and you might think it is what BBQ fans call bark Not so Even if you eat a small piece of it with nothing else there is no smoky tastennYou can help yourself to a small selection of BBQ sauces Their standard sauce is good It is not as sweet as typical Texas BBQ sauce It has a little sharper tastennThe sides are ok I have had most of them and cannot say they are particularly remarkable The do have fried okra which is a nice choicennThe Great Mystery ContinuesnnAnother trip to Dickeys and still no smoke It is bizarre The sign on the wall says Big Yellow Cup And Hickory Smoke They have a smoker And yet the meat is not smoked It is not bad but why not smoke it The brisket is more like roast beef that the fabled Texas BBQ brisket I have no idea why this is the case
