I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and instead got a sliced brisket with peppers and onions mixed in it not worth it to me. Also ordered a loaded baked potato with chopped beef on it and instead received a bland baked potato with sour cream and cheese that’s it. I don’t think I’ll be back there anytime soon. More

Slow cooked homemade food, made fresh all day! Been here since 1952. The service is always great and they treat you like well. If you go once, you’ll be coming back! George the morning cook is amazing and everyone asks for him by name. You just feel like everyone is family❤️ More

My coworkers and I eat there often and it's delicious! The service is fantastic, the prices are fair and the portion is really good. I always get the chopped beef sandwich and it never fails. Lastly they offer extra sauce for free! Best hole in the wall hands down.

I've been eating here for over 40 years. Little seems to have changed. This is how a BBQ place should look. The sweet sauce is how sauce should taste. This isn't gourmet or designer BBQ. It's BBQ done the way Dallas has done BBQ since way before I was born.

  • Just Julia

Nice place and it has sports decor. The staff super friendly. We ordered ribs hot links and pulled pork. Everything was perfectly cooked. Oh and BBQ sauce not spicy or strong but just right.. we definitely will come back eith friends yum yum

  • Robert Hodge

We were a little worried when we rolled up under the bridge to this hidden gem that was populated with only regular patrons who were confused what a bunch of people from New England were doing walking into their “hole in the wall” bar. They

  • Alexander Blankson

When I walked into this location, I did not know what to expect. I was driving in the area and the sign read “best burger”. And ironically, that is what I was in the mood for a Hamburger…. Walking up you think the place is just some hole in

  • Andrew Merfalen

First time here at Hickory House. This is a definite go to for some great southern diner food. It is an old building and have been in business for 72 years. Very unassuming from the exterior but it has a awesome down home feel. Their daily

  • Nick Richardson

Location may be an issue and the exterior needs a complete overhaul, but the food was fantastic! I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and while it wasn't loaded like you would typically think the taste was phenomenal. the company I dined with

  • Jack Axton

Place was fairly empty when I visited, but that suited me fine. Service was very quick and friendly, and it had all the hallmarks of a true BBQ place. Outdoor seating, wooden 'down home' feel, ancient tv in the corner, napkins by the roll

  • The Nice Nurse

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. No wait at all. Very home grown feeling, inside and out. Nice waitress and cook ( I think he was the owner) . I ordered cheese burger with bacon and egg and tots and my girlfriend had the same but with onion

  • Keara Waters

We truly enjoyed our experience here! The food was good and truly a hole in the wall with food that taste like I was back home in Alabama. I got the rib sandwich and okra. Only thing we didn't enjoy was one of the waitress mouth. She was

  • Adam Burnett

Amaxing, amazing, amazing food! The place has a very laid back vibe and some of the best Texas BBQ. This is the (and I mean this in the nicest way possible) "hole-in-the-wall" place you are looking for. The ribs fall off the bone and the

  • Tony Murphy

I just came here for lunch only reason why I came cause I eat breakfast at the one in Lancaster and have all my life. For the first time i tried this one on riverfront and im in disbelief I ordered a Rib sandwhich that was mircowaved dry

  • Joseph Passe

I'll start by saying the ribs tasted good. The line cook seemed to be the only one that kept his area clean and organized. I would not have eaten here if I had looked around before hand though. Everything about this place was unsanitary.

  • Josh Tovar

After the zoo, my zoo critters were hungry and needed to be fed. Looking for a BBQ place so we landed at this place. As you arrive, you can see its a throw back to the old drive in burger joints from the 60's. Parking is located under a

  • momo morris

Went with a small group at lunch. Bought a burger. Very delicious. You can walk up to window to order, if you choose to do so and there's a large, screened patio available to sit. ...Seating available inside too. We sat inside. More

  • Matthew Bell

Classic barbecue joint vibes. The Wednesday lunch special is ribs - not a bad haul for under $10 after tax. If your expectations are set for a typical off-the-beaten-path BBQ offering you will be happy with what you find here. More

  • Christian Lutzky

Fantastic BBQ! The location looks pretty seedy from the outside, but the job they do on the inside is just perfect. Food and service were just wonderful. But do not expect an upscale place...you go to Hickory for fantastic food!

  • Cam-Mar Swin

Look, I came hungry and praying the reviews were on point…. And let’s just say I all but licked my plate!!! Homemade burgers fresh and made to order!!! Would have taken a picture, but before I knew it, I was done!!! More

  • Raku Ichijo

I am Texan, born and raised. I eat beef for breakfast lunch and dinner. My dessert is sausage. My snacks are mashed potatoes and chilli. To say I know BBQ is an understatement. It is my life. I am nothing without BBQ.

  • tom condon

Only place in Dallas that still serves good portions, great food at reasonable prices. Prices so low you should be motivated to TIP your waitress the cost of the meal ! They work for it,earn it and deserve it! More

  • SIXX FIGGAZ

Another great gem, hidden under the freeway a old great vibe feel soon as you pull up. Bbq sauce was amazing and the brisket was awesome!! If you see it dont pass it stop right in and get you some good food!!

  • Ed Arvizu

I stopped here because I wanted some BBQ, and I was close by at the time. Time has not been good to this place. It looks rundown, service is slow, and the Rib plate was more like rib pieces. More

  • MikeVero Mendoza

I had the lunch special, 1 entre and 3 sides. The brisket was dry and not enough smoke taste. The sides were all out of can even the bake beans, really its a BBQ place. Don't recommend it. More

  • John Vaughan

Food was excellent! Chicken fried chicken was outstanding, juicy and tender with good breading. Baked potato was just perfect and not dry. Can't wait to do breakfast here.

Had the Steak and Eggs for breakfast. Loved the atmosphere. Just like when I was growing up. Good food to boot. Restaurants need to get back to this old school feel.
