“ American southern BBQ food, so a lot of meat! The staff were genuinely welcoming and pleasant, we're very fast with drinks & orders. The food was brilliant if you enjoy BBQ meats the selection you can't really get anywhere else as with some of the drinks root beer floats & grape sodas, a unique dining experience, 10/10 would go again. ”

Tried the popcorn brisket for the first time compliments to the chefs as the food was absolutely divine, the waiters/waitresses are so welcoming and friendly too. Thank you for making it really special worth every penny ”
“ First time going for a meal with friends. The small touches make your experience rememberable, fresh cold water in glass bottle served on the table. Pop corn in little tubs. Movie/cinema room, There are too parts that I noticed. Pub like area as you walk in with a bar and then to the right is the restaurant area. Spacious, not feeling like I'm sat on someone else's lap. The staff were all accommodating and welcoming. The food is unbelievable, beautiful and fresh! For 7 of us all had starter main and dessert with drinks cost us 230 Around 30 each! BARGAIN ”
“ Our first visit but it won’t be our last! Excellent food, it is on the expensive side BUT it’s quality rather than quantity for the meat portions. My husband selected the brisket 20.99 for his main & we did think the portion size would be bigger. He did say the brisket “melted in his mouth” so it was tasty. Such interesting decor! When we finished our meal we sat in the drinks side, it had 2 televisions with sport on. The staff were fantastic! The atmosphere is fab we would definitely visit again! ”
“ Have been here a few times and couldn’t recommend it more. Took my mum for the first time for her birthday she absolutely loved it. The staff were amazing and so friendly. The food was delicious and went down well. ”

“ I recently dined at Hickory's with a friend and was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. Upon entering, the restaurant's well-executed American theme immediately stood out, showcasing thoughtful attention to detail in its decor. Our server, James, was prompt and attentive, greeting us shortly after we were seated. We appreciated the complimentary popcorn and bottled water provided for the table—a nice welcoming touch. To start, we opted for the Tuesday daily special: Popcorn Bites and Prawn Tacos. Both dishes were excellent, with bold flavors and high-quality ingredients that set a strong tone for the meal. For our main courses, we ordered the Brisket Sub and Skewers. The brisket was exceptionally tender, and the skewers were perfectly cooked, demonstrating the kitchen’s skill in preparing quality meats. After settling the bill, we enjoyed a relaxed moment at the bar, where we sampled Hickory’s signature *Driftaway* brew—a smooth and satisfying choice. The cocktails, expertly crafted by Reece and Jamie, were equally impressive, rounding out the evening on a high note. While Hickory's may be considered slightly upscale in pricing, the exceptional food, outstanding service, and inviting atmosphere justify the cost. I highly recommend it for those seeking a memorable dining experience. ”
“ We visited on Thursday night for mine and my boyfriend’s anniversary meal. My boyfriend had put a note on the booking saying this and our server John went above and beyond. We were treated to complimentary prosecco, and a beautiful desert with strawberries, marshmallows and dipping chocolate all on the house. The service was absolutely second to none. Couldn’t recommend the place more ”
