The Take
Order the brisket or ribs dry-rubbed at Dickey's Barbecue Pit and skip the sauce plus fried sides. The Slop Score is 68.
Smoked meats earn points for on-site cooking and responsibly raised claims, yet the original sauce loads in high fructose corn syrup while buns and beans scream ultra-processed.
The Verdict
Stick to dry meats and basic sides for a passable meal. The 68 Slop Score stays locked in by the sauce factory and industrial add-ons.
Buy the dry-rubbed brisket or ribs. Skip the rest.
