While Dickey's Barbecue Pit may be known for its barbecue meats, which are slow-smoked on site, now the chain is offering a different kind of comfort food with the addition of grilled cheese sandwiches made with Texas toast.
Dickey's new grilled cheese sandwiches are the latest addition to the chain's line-up of kids' menu dishes. The sandwich itself consists of slices of gooey cheddar cheese stuffed between two slices of buttery Texas toast. The sandwich can be enjoyed by itself or as part of a Kids Meal.
However, its not just kids that will get to enjoy the chain's tasty take on Texas toast. Adults can also enjoy a slice of Texas toast or a cornbread muffin as a substitute for the Dickey's classic buttery roll.
