Dickey’s Barbecue Celebrating 84 Years

October 1, 2025 By Dayton937

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit started in Dallas, Texas, in 1941 when World War I veteran Travis Dickey opened the first location. The restaurant is family-owned and has grown into the world’s largest barbecue franchise, still serving authentic Texas barbecue using hickory. Dickey’s  84th birthday celebration kicks off today, with a full month of barbecue offers, deals, and contests. Let’s raise a Big Yellow Cup to the next 84! Here are the specials you can enjoy now:

$8.84 Combo – Pulled Pork Sandwich, Barbecue Beans, & iconic Big Yellow Cup for $8.84

Party Pack – 1lb. of Pulled Pork, Large Side of Barbecue Beans, & Texas Toast for $19.41

Ric and Carla Wren  purchasing the Springboro franchise in 2018, and  along with their son Chris, have turned their restaurant into a thriving operation that reflects their dedication to teamwork, quality food, and strong ties with the community.

“Our business operates like a three-legged stool,” said Ric Wren. “Carla, Chris, and I each bring unique strengths to the table. Carla and I run the operations together, with Carla also overseeing food quality—especially the meats—ensuring everything meets Dickey’s high standards. Chris handles day-to-day management. We rely on each other to keep things running smoothly—it’s truly a team effort.”
