Anthony Pimentel and Kenneth Robles with their new catering van in Santa Clarita.
Anthony Pimentel has a passion for barbecue and a desire to own his own business, which attracted him to Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. On Thursday, January 15 at 11 a.m., Pimentel’s dream will come true when he and his business partner, Kenneth Robles, open their first Dickey’s Barbecue in Santa Clarita. To celebrate their new venture, they are hosting a three-day grand opening with multiple prizes like three chances to win free barbecue for a year.
“I’ve always loved the art of slow smoking meats and it’s exciting to share this hobby with the Santa Clarita community,” said first time owner, Anthony Pimentel. “Santa Clarita is really growing right now making it a perfect time to open a restaurant– my location is near schools, shopping centers, and a movie theater, which will hopefully make it a popular destination.”
On Thursday, the first 50 dine-in guests receive gift cards worth up to $50. On Friday, guests can stop by for goodies with all day merchandise giveaways. On Saturday, radio station K-EARTH 101 will be onsite from noon to 2 p.m. and guests can feed their barbecue cravings with $2 pulled pork barbecue sandwiches. One lucky guest will win a $500 gift card and three winners will win free barbecue for an entire year.
Pimentel resides in Santa Clarita and currently works as a senior network administrator. The new location in Santa Clarita is located at 18742 Soledad Canyon Road and the number is 661.251.0840.

Jennifer Pimentel congratulations to you both…
Thanks! You should come by!
Didn’t the owners of the last Dickeys walk away from the location by Olive Garden
Ha, my first thought when I read this article is that there already was one and it went belly up after a very short time. And it also was always filthy filthy filthy. Although I have to admit the barbecue chicken I got or the other things my husband and son got were very good. I wonder if this one will also have that softserve ice cream machine that he can go up to as many times as you want.
I hope it’s better than the last one.
This’ll be the 3rd attempt by Dickies to open up in this valley, we’ll see how it goes, I don’t know why this town can’t hold down a few good bbq places.
Got one here in palmdale good eats little pricey
Craig Roach EX-QUIZNOS

Two other Dickey’s did not make it in Santa Clarita. What makes them think this one is any different? I mean, I love Dickey’s and hope they make it but history usually repeats itself.
So excited! Love us some Dickeys BBQ

Good luck to the new owners of this Dickey’s BBQ, might be 3rd times the charm. For some reason, the only BBQ places that have continually survived are Rattler’s and Stonefire. Not sure how well Lucille’s has done over at the mall but we do seem loyal to our local stars.

Love love love dickeys bbq !!!!! We usually go to the one in ventura. Also stop by the one in Arlington, Texas every few months when I am there. Can’t wait to try our local one. Yummy big BBQ sandwich with Xtra pickles and onions
Dickeys kinda sucks
They great we have them here in Denver
Is this by Everest? As I goggled the address I found, and it tagged it rt in middle of Soledad. Sorry I know not of the prior failed Quiznos.
This one is at a much better location, right by the Canyon Counrty theaters where there’s lots of traffic for more customers. Can’t wait to support at their grand opening this weekend. Sending nothing but positive vibes and best of luck to them.
