Honestly this wasn’t good at all. I ordered the brisket, it was dry and not very good without the barbecue cause. For my sides I ordered sweet potato fries and corn. Both bland and had absolutely no salt. I won’t be returning.

This place nails it from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave. Friendly, welcoming, and professional staff make every part of the visit feel effortless and enjoyable. Everything here is top-notch — the food, the drinks, the service, even the little details like the ambiance. You can tell they really take pride in what they do. Walking out, you just feel happy and appreciated, which is something you don’t get everywhere. Big thanks to the team for making it such a consistently great experience. I’ll be coming back for sure, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place that does everything right.

Today we used the drive through. I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich w/mild sauce on the side, mac n’ cheese, and coleslaw as my two sides. The brisket was perfectly cooked. Tender, flavorful, crispy bits mixed with melty bits. Wonderful. The coleslaw was a bit more bland than usual, but it wasn’t bad. The Mac n’ cheese was cheesy and good. Our service through the drive through was polite, efficient, and everything was correct.

My wife and I stopped in off of the hwy for a late lunch. 3pm and food was still fresh. Brisket was amazing. Great service and clean atmosphere.

A great place for a quick lunch. With easy access off of 55 I’m glad to have chose this place for lunch. Turkey was as tender as it gets and steamed broccoli was prepared perfectly in butter and seasoning just as I would at home. Bonus points for having beer on ice as well.

Passing through town and decided to give this place a try. Brisket was so dry it was almost dehydrated. Even with the sauce, barely edible. The beans and cornbread were good. Mac n cheese wasn’t bad but definitely came out of a box. Overall, not worth the price.

Order was incomplete and had to return for missing items. Sliced beef sandwiches were half fat and gristle. Tukey was ok. Ribs were great.

Tried Hickory River for the first and last time. Ordered a little of everything to try and first off Brisket was so dry and the babyback ribs and Im not making this up when I say they smelled like an old barn that hasn’t been cleaned they were also over smoked and so so dry not sure if I got yesterdays ribs. The BBQ beans were chili not bbq beans. The cornbread was also dry and as dense as a brick. The pulled pork was decent and the only thing that was good. If you’re in the mood for BBQ in the area I recommend Smokey bones, Mission BBQ or TXBBQ at the rail yard all are way better.
