I truly might need trauma counseling after going to the new Dicky’s Barbecue place in Canton, NC. It was the most horrid restaurant experience I believe I have ever had, notable because I’ve been to other Dicky’s BBQ’s and they were always really good. This was abhorrent. So, we go on a Saturday night around dinner time. I order the famous pulled pork. Sold out! No pulled pork in a BBQ joint in western North Carolina. OK, how about the brisket plate (with two sides. That’ll be significant in a moment) and a brisket sandwich. My WonderWife ordered something that looked good, we ordered two waters, like usual, and waited for a couple minutes. The nice lady rang it up and it was $45.00 and some change. Hmmmmm. A tad steep, so I asked if that was right. She assured me that it was correct. OK, if the BBQ is good, it’ll be worth it. I took a bite out of my sandwich and got a mouthful of slimy fat with a small amount of lean brisket on it. Yeesh. Interesting, but I was in Winston Salem Thursday night at the Camel City BBQ and had brisket. Meaty, lean, and thoroughly good. Now, I’m playing around with a mouthful of slime. I can’t swallow it. I take it out and try another bite. Same slimy feel. The whole sandwich has mostly fat. Can’t do it, so I wrap it up and try the brisket plate. Awful! Same fatty, slimy chunks of something. Never have I had as terrible of BBQ as what I experienced there. The slaw had that translucent look and feel as if it had been frozen, then thawed and served. Wife had no better luck. I do want to say that we both agreed that the beans were good, albeit rather soupy with not a lot of beans. Never have I thrown away 9/10’s of my dinner before, but I did tonight. I simply could not stomach it. Then, I looked at the receipt. They charged me for the cole slaw! The plate came with two sides (for me, beans and slaw) so why did she charge me for slaw. Then, I noticed that we were charged $4.00 for two little plastic cups so we could put water in them. Talk about insult to injury! So, I asked the nice lady (and let me be clear, she was very nice and apologetic and did what she could to make it right, but there was no manager there on a Saturday night at dinner time) about refunding me for the water and the slaw, and she said that she couldn’t without a manager there. She did offer to take my name and number, but by that time, I had absolutely had it with Dickey’s BBQ in Canton. I’m still sort of amazed and looking back at it all as kind of surreal, but Wife assures me that it all happened. I ended up going to Ingles, getting some burger, and I’m about to cook up some decent food for dinner. If you go there, you have been forewarned.
