Barbecue is no stranger to Houston, especially slow-smoked meats.  After learning about the lack of barbecue in Richmond, Owner/Operators David and Regina Vese immediately hopped on the opportunity to become a part of Dickey's. "It's hard to not think about barbecue when living in Texas and we are excited to finally bring the one cuisine many Richmond residents have long desired," says David. In the weeks leading up to their opening, the mother and son are often frequented by members of the community who equally share their excitement in the store's opening. "Hearing all of the positive feedback from the community has not only made the process of opening a restaurant worthwhile, but reaffirms that my mother and I made the right decision in bringing a barbecue concept to Richmond," he shares. "The community has welcomed us with open arms and we get to return the favor beginning this Thursday."

Residents can find their newest Dickey's at 7850 W Grand Parkway S Richmond, TX 77406. The phone number is 713-623-1019.
