Dickey’s Builds Bigger Barbecue Flavor with New Smoke Stacks Menu

Guests Can Now Customize Their Own Stacked Creations of Slow-Smoked Meats and Southern Sides

/EIN News/ -- Dallas, TX, May 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is inviting guests to experience barbecue their way with the debut of its all-new Smoke Stacks menu—featuring bold, layered combinations of the brand’s most iconic flavors. Available now through August 31, this limited-time offering gives guests the option to choose from signature Smoke Stacks or build their own custom stack from a mix of slow-smoked meats, savory sides, and craveable toppings.

Already a fan favorite, the Brisket Mac Stack and Chili Mac Stack are just the beginning. The new menu expands on this concept by turning Dickey’s best-loved items into fully customizable stacked creations—perfect for those who want to take their barbecue experience to the next level.

“We’re known for our authentic, Texas-style barbecue, and now we’re giving guests a whole new way to enjoy it,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “Smoke Stacks are indulgent, filling, and totally customizable. Whether you're loyal to brisket or want to stack mac & cheese with pulled pork and jalapeño cheddar kielbasa, we’re making it easy—and fun—to build your perfect bite.”

Guests can choose from a list of curated stacks or start from scratch and build their own, mixing and matching from a wide variety of meats and sides. The combinations are virtually endless, and each stack offers a bold expression of Dickey’s signature flavors.

“Stacking our most popular ingredients into one hearty, satisfying dish was a natural next step,” said Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group. “This is all about giving people the freedom to experiment with flavor, without losing the authenticity and quality Dickey’s has been known for since 1941.”

Behind the scenes, the culinary team worked to ensure each combination delivers the perfect balance of flavor, texture, and satisfaction. “We designed this menu to be as guest-driven as it is chef-inspired,” said Chef Matt Burton, Vice President of Culinary Innovation and R&D. “Smoke Stacks are the ultimate barbecue mashup. Whether you go classic or totally custom, every stack is made with the same slow-smoked quality that defines Dickey’s.”

Available in-store, online, and through the Dickey’s app now through August 31, the Smoke Stacks menu is a limited-time opportunity to pile on the flavor—and make it your own.
