Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Offers 20% Off for Nurse Appreciation Week

Nation’s Largest Barbecue Brand Serves Up a Helping of Gratitude to Healthcare Heroes with Special Offer May 6–12

/EIN News/ -- Dallas, TX, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This Nurse Appreciation Week, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is firing up the pit to honor one of America’s most selfless professions. From May 6–12, nurses can enjoy 20% off their meals at all Dickey’s locations nationwide by simply showing a valid nurse ID.

“Nurses are the heart of healing,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “They show up day after day, offering hope, comfort, and strength when it’s needed most. Their service reminds us why it’s so important to show up for our communities with the same care and intention.”

The promotion coincides with National Barbecue Month, making it a perfect time to bring comfort and recognition to those who give so much of themselves. Guests can expect to enjoy Dickey’s signature slow-smoked brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and classic homestyle sides—all served with the brand’s signature Southern hospitality.

“When my grandfather started Dickey’s in 1941, it wasn’t just about barbecue—it was about service. Service to neighbors, to families, to the community,” said Roland Dickey, Jr., CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group. “That same spirit lives in the work nurses do every single day. They are the first to step in and the last to leave, and they do it with compassion and strength.”

The weeklong promotion is more than a discount—it’s a heartfelt thank you rooted in Dickey’s 83-year legacy of serving others.

“At Dickey’s, we’re humbled to offer a small token of appreciation—a warm, slow-smoked meal, served with all the love and gratitude nurses deserve,” Laura Rea Dickey added. “It’s one way we hope to make them feel seen, valued, and celebrated.”

Nurse Appreciation Offer Details:

“This is one of the most meaningful ways we can continue the legacy our family built the brand on,” Roland Dickey, Jr. shared. “We are honored to serve the people who spend their lives serving others.”

This is Dickey’s way of saying thank you the best way they know how—with barbecue, and with heart.
