Compliments to the BBQ chief. We live in St. Louis and have great BBQ but this tops it. Try the brisket sandwich. Excellent.

Last year, the manager of a hotel were staying at recommended this place. It was great then, and still amazing now!!! Every time we drive through Kansas we make this one of our pit stops!!!

During our pit stop in Salina on a two-day road trip, we had dinner from the take-out window here. The bbq ham and the brisket sandwiches were excellent, with good size portions. The fries are so good that I could just have had those for...dinner. And the cole slaw was one of the best I had. The window service was quick, and the server was friendly. Despite the fact that they were out of pork (so we had second choice for our sandwiches) it was some of the best BBQ I've had.More

On our way home on the final leg of our vacation, we found ourselves famished and looking for some great eats. Based on their no. 1 rating in Salina, KS, we chose Hickory Hut BBQ. Sure glad we did! We each chose the rib dinner...with plenty of great ribs, 2 great sides, TX toast and a drink for only $15.99 each. We both chose a side of BBQ baked beans. They were special. She chose their slaw and shared it. Awesome. I chose the O'rings and would pass on that choice. Toast was super good. As we approached Hickory Hut, we were worried about being the only car in the lot at 4pm on a Friday. Not to worry. Went right in to what appeared as a Covid safe dining room. We were immediately greeted, checked in and then served quickly at our table. Their drive through appeared to be busy the whole time we dined. Since we could not eat all the fabulous ribs, we took them back to our hotel for a snack and reminder of how good this BBQ place is/was.More

Everything on the menu rocks! From the juicy ribs and variety of barbecue meats to the Santa Fe Party Potato (which is amazing) and beans and sausage, you cannot go wrong with the options to choose from. This barbecue is high quality and you can...taste it from the first bite. Come hungry. It's clean, with quick friendly service, won't break your wallet and easy access from I-135 or I-70. Seriously, this is Kansas barbecue at its finest!More

The portion sizes were very generous. The flavor and variety of food was very good. There were also "specials" to choose. There were plenty of tables and all were adherent to the social distancing recommendation. Very clean inside.

Great food and atmosphere! I like to visit unique places and Hickory Hut BBQ is certainly that! Must stop!
