Dickey's Barbecue Pit

Slow-smoked Texas-style barbecue is the main draw at this West Prien Lake Road location, where house-smoked meats, stuffed baked potatoes, and classic Southern sides are served up in a casual counter-service setting. The menu centers on brisket, pork ribs, and mac and cheese, with roots tracing back to original recipes developed in Dallas, Texas in 1941. Guests can dine in, pick up, or take advantage of drive-through and delivery options through platforms including DoorDash and GrubHub, making it a practical stop whether heading home from Prien Lake Plaza or catching a meal near the Wingate by Wyndham Casino Area.

Dickey's Barbecue Pit also runs a full catering operation suited to events ranging from birthday gatherings to corporate seminars, with menus tailored to the occasion. The Lake Charles location sits off Highway 10 near Nelson Road, putting it within easy reach of the surrounding Prien Lake corridor. With over 500 franchise locations across the country, the brand brings a consistent approach to slow-smoked barbecue, and this Southwest Louisiana outpost delivers that same menu to dine-in customers and catering clients alike.
