“I am looking forward to serving great Texas barbecue to the Rock Island community,” said franchise owner Bradley Emmert. “We offer a family friendly atmosphere, free ice cream and kids eat free on Sundays – I know it will be a big hit.”
The party continues Friday with merchandise giveaways including t-shirts, koozies and sunglasses. On Saturday there will be $2 Pulled Pork Barbecue sandwiches and radio station 103.7 FM will be on site from noon to 2:00p.m.

Dickey’s Barbecue was founded by Travis Dickey with the goal of authentic slow smoked barbecue. More than 72 years later, the Dallas-based family run barbecue franchise still offers a quality selection of signature meats, home style sides, tangy barbecue sauce and free kids meals every Sunday. All meats are slow smoked on site in each restaurant. The fast-casual family-friendly concept has expanded to over 300 locations in 40 states and holds the title of the world’s largest barbecue franchise. This year both Technomic and Nation’s Restaurant News named Dickey’s “Fastest-growing restaurant in the country” and they were also named “Best Franchise Deal” by QSR Magazine.
