For those who can’t get enough of that delicious BBQ flavor, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit (founded in Dallas, TX in 1941) seems to be moving in on BBQ Country in California. Santa Maria is famous for its Santa Maria style BBQ, but there’s plenty of room to share the BBQ love, according to locals, who recently greeted the opening of the newest BBQ joint–Dickey’s, located at 2212 South Bradley Road, Santa Maria. The restaurant chain is franchise-based, so you’ll probably be seeing one come to your area in the future. For now, here’s where you can buy their smoked ribs, chicken, sandwiches, and sides such as salads, beans & slaw (dickeys.com):
