Dickey's Barbecue Pit
St. George branch of a Texas barbecue chain founded in Dallas in 1941 by Travis Dickey.
Slow-smoked brisket, pork ribs, kielbasa and Southern sides remain the format eight decades on.
Worth knowing
Travis Dickey was a First World War veteran who opened his pit in Dallas in 1941, and the chain that grew from it is one of the older barbecue businesses in the country. Kielbasa on the menu reflects the Central Texas tradition specifically, which came out of the Czech and German butcher shops of towns like Elgin and Lockhart — barbecue there began as a way for meat markets to sell what they had not sold fresh, which is why sausage sits beside brisket.
