Hickory

Not the usual BBQ

Average Rating

100

We were getting together with friends for dinner and wanted a nice dinner, but not something fancy. I'm not a fan of bbq joints, because they normally have cafeteria type service and I don't like that at all. Hickory is a nice sit down place with a bar and a very good wait staff; don't confuse it with your typical...

Smoked by a Chef

You can smell Keith Rathbun's smoked meat restaurant from the parking lot! Delicious! The surroundings are definitely upscale for a barbecue spot, and service is excellent. I had the brisket and my companion had the tacos. Both were very good. Sides are extra. Don't pass up the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer or the chayote squash and apple slaw...

Upscale BBQ

Average Rating

Comfortable area for happy hour with large flat screen TV's. Service slow when crowded and can get noisy. Somewhat difficult to find. More expensive menu and drinks that standard BBQ's. Not for families or budget mined. Large parking area and easy to enter and exit.

I was staying in Hilton nearby and the concierge recommended this place. It looks small from outside but the inside is large and upscale. I ordered brisket with charred jalapeño corn and grilled Brussels sprouts on the side. It was served on wood which gave a nice presentation. The deserts are also highly rated. Skillet cobbler was out of this...

The Hickory menu will feature several burger options—from your basic cheeseburger to more creatively topped fare like the Farmhouse Burger with pepper-crusted apple wood smoked bacon and fresh farm egg—as well as Texas-style barbecue, including smoked brisket, ribs and honey mustard-crusted pork shoulder. Diners can also look forward to a plethora of comforting sides, as Rathbun and his...
