When we picture delectable grilled food and great memories, "barbecue" is a word that quickly comes to mind. Now an American pastime, this tradition had an early start that’s stuck with us since the country’s beginning. What makes the food—and the tradition behind it—so irresistible?

As America’s largest Barbecue restaurant franchise, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit doesn’t hesitate to bring the big, bold flavors of Southern Barbecue all the way up to Amelia, OH, where traditional favorites like savory pulled pork and slow-smoked meats have attracted families across the area. Perfect for parties and other events, this go-to Barbecue restaurant is also proud to offer incredible catering services that will bring the party straight to you. So pull up, grab a plate, and let Dickey’s help you discover the history and love behind one of America’s favorite traditions: 

• It’s An All-American Experience: Americans have been barbecue fans since the beginning. As a matter of fact, even George Washington kept a diary of the barbecues he hosted and attended, illustrating that the experience was about far more than just food. He even began the first presidential barbecue, with Americans nationwide following suit ever since.
• It’s Hospitality At Its Finest: It’s no secret that a great barbecue brings families together, creating lifelong bonds and memories to match. There are few meals that can boast this bonding quality.
• It’s A Flavorful Affair: Whether it’s succulent pulled pork or fall-off-the-bone ribs, the juicy flavors of a good old-fashioned barbecue attract hungry patrons with a wide variety of tastes. Take a heaping helping of Baked Potato Casserole, fill up with some barbecue baked beans, or enjoy the perfect slice of chicken straight out of the smoker. The selection of flavors that barbecue brings to the table, from sweet to spicy and beyond, truly attracts every appetite. Marinades, spices, and sauces help make every meal unique.
