Hickory Barn Barbeque

I went in on my way home from work on Father's Day and picked up 9 lbs. of brisket, a gallon of mac & cheese and 2 qts. of fried okra. I only waited about 10 minutes even though they were fairly steady with other customers also picking up to go. I took it home and added some of my own sides and easily fed my group of 10 including 6 men with hearty appetites. It was a hit with the guys who returned for additional servings throughout the evening. We still had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. The brisket was tender and juicy, the mac & cheese very filling and the okra was devoured. I would definitely recommend getting your barbecue from them. And if you have a big group to feed in short notice they've got you handled.

The catfish plate is good. The tartar sauce, is a new one for me. Has a small hint of cinnamon in it which comes in towards the back end, after you’ve taken a bite. I came here a couple days ago with a fair number of people after planting some trees in the median for a volunteer event. I ordered the catfish plate and unfortunately, my catfish never came out. After an hour and a half, someone at my table went to speak with the staff and they felt horrible. Well, they offered to refund my money and still provide me with a catfish plate to go. I didn’t ask for a refund but I did take the meal to go. All in all, the ladies working the register and taking orders, were professional and did all they could and it was a good experience.

I had not been here in several years but was on this side of town and wanted to see if they were as good as I remember. Hickory Barn did not let me down, chopped beef sandwich was the perfect blend of lean and moist, okra was not too crunchy and the links had just the right amount of flavor. Great choice when you are on the SW side!
