Dickey's Barbecue is coming to Orland Park. |
Southland Savvy
About the only thing missing from Orland Park’s cornucopia of restaurants is a smokehouse. And that’s about to change.
Brothers John and Joseph Bak hope to open Dickey’s Barbecue Pit the week of Jan. 16 at 15110 S. LaGrange Road, in the former Fatburger space.
“We’re about 98 percent sure we’ll open on that Monday,” said John Bak.
Dickey’s Barbecue started in Dallas in 1941 and has been franchising the brand since 1994.
Bak said the Orland location will be the third Dickey’s in Illinois.
“Dickey’s is known for its slow-smoked meats,” said Bak. “We’ll be offering beef brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken, smoked turkey, smoked ham, pork ribs and sausage.”
“My brother discovered Dickey’s when he flew into Dallas while returning from Mexico and loved it. He introduced it to the rest of the family and the rest is history,” said Bak.
The Orland Park location is about 2,600 square feet, said Bak. “We’ll have seating for about 55 at tables and booths.”
The restaurant will have 10 employees besides the brothers, Bak said.
The brothers, who hail from Oak Lawn and Lemont, plan on a second location in Oak Brook once the Orland location is up and running.
The restaurant will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
