" New York State is definitely lacking authentic barbecue and I'm extremely excited to be the one bringing more to the state," said multi-unit owner Reid Grubbs. "The response to our first Dickey's location in Queensbury has been great--we actually have customers who drive 30 miles to eat our barbecue."

Grubbs is a Virginia state native who now resides in Queensbury, NY near his first location. His previous career was in the finance sector. He was looking for a new career adventure when he signed on with Dickey's.

" New York has really embraced our barbecue concept," said Roland Dickey, Jr., president of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. "It's an exciting time to be a part of Dickey's and we look forward to serving our authentic pit smoked barbecue in more cities throughout New York."

Dickey's Barbecue is building momentum in New York. Currently, Dickey's has four locations throughout New York with a new location coming soon to Cortland in December. This new location in Clifton Park is located at 22 Clifton Country Rd. and the store phone number is 518-396-5844.
