My wife called and said a coworker of hers was the first customer of Dickey's Barbecue Pit on Round Lake Blvd in Coon Rapids. He received a coupon for a free sandwich and gave it to her. She asked if I wanted to take her out for lunch and off we went.
We were greated by Troy the store owner who opened the door for us as we approached. As we went in to order the national spokesman for Dickey's told us all about their sandwiches and other menu items. The server recomended the chopped beef sandwich so we tried that with a side of waffle fries and jalapeno beans. Now that was a good sandwich! The beans and fries were also very good.
We asked where the original store was located and they told us Dallas Texas. It is still their most popular store in the country and was opened in 1941. They brought out samples of their polish sausage and it was delicious. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and people kept coming through as we sat and enjoyed our lunch.
By the way, don't forget to grab your free ice cream cone on the way out the door.
