In addition to these sandwiches, Dickey’s is also introducing new giant baked potatoes, including the Crispy Chicken Baker—packed with warm butter, sour cream, fresh green onions, and melty cheddar cheese, topped with crispy chicken and your choice of sauce.

"This year is the perfect time to reflect on the amazing journey the brand has had since my grandfather opened the first Dickey’s in 1941," said Roland Dickey Jr, CEO of Dickey’s Capital Group. "At Dickey’s, we continue to grow while staying true to our roots, and this new menu showcases our dedication to both innovation and tradition. We’re bringing even more Southern flavor to our guests, and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come."
