Restaurant chain Dickey's Barbecue Pit has further expanded its presence in the US with the inauguration of a new outlet in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The company’s latest outlet is situated at 630 Creek Centre Drive, Suite A and B Baton Rouge.

Dickey's Baton Rouge location will serve its guests a wide range of pit-smoked meats accompanied by traditional sides.

Dickey’s owner/operator Scott Carlton said: “My family and I are very excited for the opportunity to serve our pit-smoked barbecue to the wonderful people of Baton Rouge.

“We’re looking forward to creating community relationships and offering quality barbecue to all our guests. We hope you’ll join us for our grand opening event this Saturday and we can’t wait to see you soon!”

The Dallas-based, family-operated barbecue franchise, Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, is known for its eight varieties of slow-smoked meats and 12 wholesome sides.

Established in 1941 by the Dickey family, the brand has seen substantial growth, now boasting more than 500 locations across the US and in eight additional countries.

Dickey's Barbecue is a part of Dickey's Restaurant Brands, which encompasses more than 500 restaurants nationwide. This includes a portfolio of brands such as Wing Boss, Trailer Birds, Big Deal Burger, and the online platform bbqathome.com.

In September 2023, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit re-launched Brisket Chili Cheese Fries for a limited time.

Brisket Chili Cheese Fries was rolled out across all Dickey’s restaurants in the country.

The limited-edition offering combined savoury, pit-smoked brisket chilli, melted cheese and hand-cut fries.

The restaurant brand noted that its offerings will serve as a side to any meal at Dickey’s, including classic sandwiches, meat plates and combo plates.
