We were greeted by the very nice manager. Roderick took great care of us. My wife’s Bacon, 2 eggs, biscuit and gravy was just right. My Salmon Patties, I call them, were old fashion good. Over easy eggs perfect and half of my biscuit and gravy were good. I had Apple Butter and butter on the other half of my biscuit. We’ve been eating here since 1995.

This is a place with a nostalgic vibe—almost like something out of the 1980s—yet it’s still very popular. There were a lot of customers even though it was a little late for lunch. We ordered an original baby back ribs platter and a BBQ beef sandwich. For sides, we got fried okra, fries, and Brunswick stew. The Brunswick stew was the best I’ve ever had.

My brother and I went to this awesome Old Hickory House in Georgia. It was the greatest restaurant we’ve ever been. The reason we came here is I’m a huge fan of Smokey and the bandit and I’ve always wanted to come here and try Diablo sandwich.

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!

I had all vegetables today. They were very tasty. This is a great place to get home cooked vegetables and BBQ. The place is like what I remember from the one we went to when I was a kid, very rustic and nice smell of BBQ smoke in the air.

I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, I didn’t know came with pickles on; I didn’t like that. My son had, pulled chicken sandwich, green beans and mac & cheese. He said it was good. My husband ordered the vegetable plate, he said it was good and the cornbread muffins was REALLY GOOD. My husband and son said they would give Old Hickory House 4 stars

The fried chicken was just ok. Not a lot of seasoning or flavor. But was crispy and fresh. The vegetables were very good. Cornbread muffins may have been the best thing on my plate. I will give them another try. And maybe get the bbq.

We had the peoples platter and I had the chopped pork platter with macaroni and cheese with coleslaw. Rob had macaroni and Brunswick stew. We had garlic bread a coke and iced tea. We finished with key lime pie. The best is the Brunswick stew hands down. The chopped pork was good and so were the ribs. The portions are small. The key lime pie is not made there probably an Edward’s pie. No whipped cream added. Plain in appearance but good. Prices have gone up and portion size much smaller. I’ll be back for Brunswick stew next time. I have been going to the Old Hickory House since the early 60’s and the smell from the outside of the building draws you in.

Finally got to try Old Hickory House in Tucker, GA, after my friends Beth & Luis hyped it up. Got there right as they opened, and the parking lot was already semi-full. (Don’t worry, there’s extra parking on the side!)

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!

First and last visit, very disappointing.

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.
