NEW ORLEANS, May 16 — Just in time to celebrate National Barbecue Month this May and as travelers begin to hit the open roads for summer trips, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is debuting a convenient new location adjacent to the popular GoBears Texaco fuel station off highway LA-1 at 1501 St. Mary Street in Thibodaux.
Dickey’s first landed onto Louisiana’s dining scene in 2013, and since then has been introducing the bayou to the deliciousness of authentic, slow-smoked Texas-style barbecue. It didn’t take long for fans across the state to discover the delicious difference in Dickey’s craveable ‘cue.
The new South Louisiana location features a spacious dining area with complimentary WiFi and a convenient drive-thru pickup lane, making it easy for guests to order ahead and grab their barbecue whether they’re on the go or headed home. The opening marks the franchisee’s second Dickey’s location in Louisiana, following the debut of their first restaurant last year in Grand Coteau at 1672 I-49 Service Road.
“Since soft opening, we’ve been amazed by the community’s response and excitement!” said Jennifer Holder, Managing Partner. “We’re proud to bring delicious, convenient barbecue to Thibodaux and take pride in knowing that we serve something that the whole family will enjoy. Whether you’re just passing through or have time to stop in and dine with us, we invite you to come experience the Dickey’s difference.”
The Dickey’s difference starts with its approach to smoking premium cuts of brisket, pork, chicken and kielbasa sausage low and slow for hours over a proprietary applewood pellet blend. The barbecue brand, which has been serving smoked favorites since opening its first location in Texas in 1941, features classic American barbecue staples such as pulled pork, brisket, coleslaw, barbecue beans, and potato salad. In addition, longtime barbecue fans and newcomers alike can indulge their taste buds at the new Thibodaux location, which will also serve chicken wings, fall-off-the-bone ribs, giant loaded baked potatoes, smoked ham & cheddar sandwiches, and other rotating menu items.
Thibodaux’s new Dickey’s location is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Sunday.
