Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Reopens Richardson Location Under New Ownership
The smoker is fired up once again on North Coit Road as Dickey’s Barbecue Pit officially reopens its longtime Richardson, Texas, location on September 16. The restaurant, located at 2160 N. Coit Road in the Lennox Center shopping and dining destination, is returning to the community with its familiar lineup of slow-smoked meats, classic barbecue sides and Texas-inspired hospitality.
The Richardson restaurant has been part of the local dining scene since 2014, establishing a connection with families, students, workers and businesses throughout North Dallas. Its reopening gives longtime customers an opportunity to return to a familiar barbecue destination while welcoming new guests from the surrounding community.
At the center of the restaurant’s next chapter is Abdelqader Bin Tareef, who has officially taken on the role of Pit Master and owner/operator of the Richardson location. A Richardson-area local, Tareef is bringing his enthusiasm for barbecue and hospitality to a restaurant with an established history in the neighborhood.
For Tareef, taking over the restaurant represents more than operating a barbecue business. It is an opportunity to become more closely connected with the local community and build relationships with customers around a food tradition that has deep roots in Texas.
“I’m excited to be here and grateful for the opportunity to serve the Richardson community,” said Abdelqader Bin Tareef, Dickey’s Richardson Owner/Operator. “Whether you’re new to Dickey’s or coming back after some time, we invite you to stop in, enjoy the food and get to know our team. We’re proud to be part of this neighborhood and look forward to welcoming everyone in.”
A Familiar Richardson Barbecue Destination Returns
The North Coit Road location has served the Richardson area for more than a decade. Its return under new local ownership is designed to maintain the restaurant’s connection to the community while giving Tareef an opportunity to establish his own presence as the neighborhood’s new Pit Master.
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has built its identity around traditional Texas barbecue, with meats prepared through slow smoking to develop the flavor and tenderness associated with the brand. The restaurant’s concept centers on what Dickey’s calls “Legit. Texas. Barbecue.™,” combining smoked meats with a casual dining experience.
For customers who have visited the Richardson restaurant over the years, the reopening provides a chance to revisit a familiar location. For residents who are discovering the restaurant for the first time, the reopening introduces a new local operator who is focused on building connections within the surrounding community.
The Lennox Center location also places the restaurant among a popular mix of shopping and dining destinations along North Coit Road. With Richardson continuing to serve as an important part of the North Dallas area, the restaurant is positioned to serve a diverse customer base that includes local residents, families and nearby businesses.
New Pit Master Focuses on Community
Tareef’s arrival marks an important transition for the Richardson restaurant. As the new Pit Master, he is taking responsibility not only for the day-to-day restaurant experience but also for developing relationships with customers and other members of the community.
His approach is centered on hospitality and accessibility. Tareef is encouraging both longtime Dickey’s customers and people who have never visited the restaurant to stop in, share a meal and meet the team.
The emphasis on community is particularly relevant for an established restaurant reopening under new ownership. While the Dickey’s name and barbecue tradition provide continuity, local ownership gives the restaurant an opportunity to develop a renewed relationship with the people who live and work nearby.

Tareef said he is looking forward to welcoming returning guests while also introducing the restaurant to new neighbors. His goal is to create an environment where customers can enjoy familiar barbecue favorites while getting to know the people behind their local restaurant.
Slow-Smoked Barbecue at the Center
Barbecue remains the centerpiece of Dickey’s menu and restaurant identity. The brand is recognized for its slow-smoked meats and Texas barbecue traditions, offering customers a casual setting in which to enjoy barbecue meals with family, friends or colleagues.
The Richardson reopening keeps that barbecue-focused identity at the heart of the location. For customers returning after an absence, the restaurant offers a familiar food experience in a newly renewed setting. For first-time guests, it provides an introduction to the style of barbecue that has helped establish Dickey’s as a recognizable name in the Texas barbecue market.
The restaurant’s focus on smoked meats also reinforces its connection to Texas food culture. Barbecue is deeply associated with gatherings, celebrations and community occasions throughout the state, making it a natural foundation for a restaurant seeking to strengthen its local ties.
