My wife and I were walking around town and looking for a place to eat. We came across Hickory and I am glad we walked in for lunch. I had the Quatro ( Burger, Brisket, Pulled Pork and slaw). It was awesome. Just the type of sandwich I would make at home, just it tasted much better. Owner operated and... More

Traveling quite a bit in the South, Mid West and Texas you learn what very good BBQ is about, so I am basing review against a tough standard. My daughter loves Hickory and particularly the pulled pork. She persuaded me to give it a try despite my unsubstantiated skepticism and BBQ snobbery. Really nice staff, a high quality indoor Restaturant... More

I love good bar b que and had to try Hickory Kitchen when I saw it was open. The place smells great and is also responsible for the great smells throughout the neighborhood but I digress......After reviewing a robust menu I settled on the Brisket sandwich with BBQ sauce and pickle. There is actually some good brisket in this area... More

I stop in at Hickory Kitchen regularly. There is a wide variety of selections - barbecue, vegetarian, burgers, salads, soups, great desserts and more. Friendly staff, nice casual atmosphere, and good prices. What more could you ask? And it's BYOB. Try it!

I wish I lived closer to this place - because I would literally be there every night. Very low key place - Owner is laid back - and has a great sense of humor!I had a cheeseburger and it was great! My husband had the Pulled pork with coleslaw sandwich and he thought it was amazing! We actually thought we... More

We stopped on a rainy afternoon for an early dinner. The place was empty at the early hour, but we had great food. Starting with the fried pickles followed by a burger and turkey sandshich.

The brisket and pulled pork are just wows in this modest cafe, that gets crowded at lunch. Fun service and great food ... what else would you want?

Let me start off by saying that my inlaws live in Texas and we go down there quite a lot and never pass up BBQ. With that said, hickory kitchen is comparable. We usually share the 3 way platter, which comes with 2 sides and a biscuit. All the meats are delicious. While the sides are good, we have been... More

Great sandwich and tasty extras; lots of variety for a small place. Priced right. Owner/manager has designed the menu and built the recipes, takes orders and his able assistant whips up the food. Simple, quick, and tasty.

The mention of vegetarian fare got me in the door and they do have a nice selection. I had Brigitte's Vegetable Wrap and it was good. The place is small, friendly, efficient and has good vibes. I would return.
