Quality of food is beyond belief! Service is always friendly. I wish they'd get rid of the juke box but the best ribs ever. Love the relish tray and finger bowls. Highly recommend the "5 Rib" dinner! More

This is a family owned, out of the way business, that prides itself in the old fashion way of serving family meals and great service. Relish trays, homemade dressings with hand cut salads, fresh bread and great servings of meat, especially their ribs. They even sell their own barbeque sauce. More

I've eaten ribs all over this country. Hickory House has the best! Fall-off-the-bone, no visible fat, perfect homemade sauce! Excellent service in a casual, child-friendly atmosphere. More

The Hickory House has been our family's favorite restaurant for over 40 years! Having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area in California for many years now, where we are fortunate to have some of the world's BEST restaurants, I still look forward to my once-a-year visit to the Hickory House. I just won't even order barbecued ribs anywhere else... More

This place is one of those oldtime good food joints. They have been around for like 50 years. If you want HOT, good food, and don't want to leave hungry, then check it out.
