Hickory House Bar B-Q

MAIN FARE

  • Rib – Best tasting rib of the day.  A bit of a conundrum here:  It is a bit dry (as if overcooked), however the meat doesn’t come easily off the bone.  Maybe cooked a little too hot & fast?
  • Brisket – is moist on the plate.  Fatty is falling apart… However, you somehow you can’t chew through this stuff.  Lean is worse.
  • Sausage – Eckrich.

OTHER FARE

  • Potato Salad – Salty.

    OTHER FARE

    • Potato Salad – Salty.
    • Cole Slaw – is very good. Creamy sauce with a vinegar tang, and a bit of spice on the finish.
    • Pintos – Plain.
    • Baked Beans – Chili beans made into baked — doesn’t work for me.
    • Sauce – Heavy worchestershire.
    • Hot sauce – Chili spices with plenty-o-kick.
    • They serve true Texas Toast here — that’s a bonus!

    ATMOSPHERE

    • This place has a "drive-up" feel to it… I almost expect waitresses on roller skates to come out and take my order.
    • They do have a drive-thru window
    • Eclectic interior; a hodge-podge of different rooms, each with a separate look & feel.
    • Been here for 34 years – "Dad" opened in 1975
