Dickey’s Barbecue agrees to pay $2.35M in class action lawsuit over customer data breach

Dallas-based restaurant chain Dickey’s Barbecue Pit has agreed to pay $2.35 million in a class action settlement after a data security incident took place involving customers’ credit and debit card information.

The lawsuit says “unauthorized actors” accessed Dickey’s point-of-sales systems, allowing them to obtain customers’ credit and debit cardholder information. The security breach took place from April 23, 2019 to Oct. 29, 2020.

Dickey’s customers who used credit cards or debit cards in that time frame are eligible to receive monetary compensation and credit card monitoring as part of the settlement in which the company agreed to pay $2.35 million. Dickey’s denied the allegations in the lawsuit but agreed to implement significant data security enhancements, according to the settlement.

Affected customers may submit a claim at DickeysClassAction.com to receive relief in the form of expense reimbursement, cash payment or credit services. Claims must be submitted by April 22, 2023.
