A couple weeks ago we traveled to Chattanooga for the first time, and following your fortunate on-line advice decided to visit Hickory Pit Bar-B-Que. It's a small restaurant, but oh boy, do they have excellent bar-b-q! Our waiter was very attentive, and the owners were...More

Based on reviews here, we stopped on our trip from Atlanta to Nashville. WOW! Glad we did. We had ribs and chicken salad sandwich. Both very good. This place was so good, we stopped again on the way back home.

As others have done, we used Trip Advisor to find this place. It's easy to miss, the only sign by the road is on the side of their truck. We had to wait for a table, ultimately sharing with another couple. The food? Wonderful! If...More

Stopped by driving back home to Florida, saw the reviews on Tripadvisor and decided to give it a shot. Small joint, only about 5 or 6 tables but the food feels home cooked and is delicious! Well worth the stop.

Excellent service and food. Waiters did an excellent job keeping up with everyone's orders and keeping the sweet tea glasses full. Hometown friendly atmosphere.

The food was great and loved the fried pickles. The staff makes you feel right at home. Hope Mike continues to be successful with his business, cause I want to visit this place as often as I can.
