The family run Old Hickory House restaurants have been an Atlanta institution for more than 60 years with 4 family members operating their stores in Atlanta before closing and retiring. The old Forrest Park location was the one who had a scene in the movie “Smokey & The Bandit” filmed in 1977. This scene at the Old Hickory House had Jackie Gleason and Burt Reynolds in it. Gleason ordered a Diablo sandwich which we now serve at our location in Tucker, Georgia. Elvis Presley was another celebrity among other’s who frequented the Old Hickory House’s in the Atlanta area. The Tucker location that opened in 1974 is the only Old Hickory House standing. We plan to be serving our customers for another 60 years. Come join us and “Put Some South In…

In my whole life I’ve never seen the kindest waitress. I ordered Diablo sandwich and an Ice Tea and the waitress saw be wearing a bandit custom from Smokey and the bandit, he kindly gave me a glass of Dr. pepper for free. Thanks for making this dream come True!
This place has strong old-school diner vibes, with great service, a massive menu, and tasty food at a great price. I tried:
Barbecue Omelet with Beef: Loaded with beef and paired with thick, non-watery grits – perfection.
Short Stack with Bacon: Pancakes were tasty, but I wish they had some crisp edges. The bacon was thick, crispy, and just right.
Country Chicken & Gravy Biscuit Platter: The real MVP here! Perfectly battered chicken with flavorful gravy on a biscuit that’s crunchy on the outside, buttery on the inside, and doesn’t fall apart. All this for just $5!
The atmosphere is lively with families, and there’s a bar-style seating option if you’re dining solo. Nicki, my server, was amazing and made sure my drink never hit the bottom.
Highly recommend for a solid breakfast experience. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
1. The coffee was served out of a styrofoam cup.
2. We ordered French toast with bacon and a salmon croquette, pancakes “Kid cakes”, and a Country fried steak dinner with collards and fried okra. Once the waiter put the ticket in, the food was already prepared and sitting for at-least 10 minutes.. the gravy developed a fat cap. Collards were tangy and tasted like they were canned. The salmon cake tasted like it was precooked and refrigerated. The cornbread was dry and the garlic bread was extra buttery with no garlic.
3. When it was time to pay for the bill, the waitress over charged us for multiple things. She charged us for a kids meal, we ordered pancakes. Then she charged me for a cowboy size country steak dinner but i asked for a regular size. The manager “corrected” the mistake but it was still wrong. On the bill the manager charged me $4.99 for Kid cakes but on their menu it specifically states $4.49. This is why it’s so important to look at your check thoroughly because businesses try to take advantage of you.
The lady at the front doesn’t have much enthusiasm or hospitality, very rude.
Overall, we enjoyed the fried okra and pancakes. The atmosphere was calm, and quiet.
Due to this experience, we will not return nor recommend to anyone.
