Hickory's Smokehouse Chester

"Our second visit to Hickory Chester, and it was even better than the first! Great service, friendly staff to greet us, and the food was delicious. Brisket burnt ends and crispy chicken tenders to start, followed by brisket and pulled pork for mains. The meat was absolutely amazing, and the sauces just enhanced it all. Yummy It also sits right on the river, so when the weathers nice, outdoor seating provides a lovely view! Definitely recommend if your visiting Chester, you won’t regret it!"

"Absolutely loved this restaurant and there was always a string of people queueing to get in which is always a good sign of a popular venue. We were lucky enough to visit week commencing 21 March when the weather was fabulous so we could sit and have a drink outdoors. We visited again the following day and sat in the gorgeous beer garden and then had some food. The menu is just amazing, so many unusual and tasty options to choose from in a newspaper style menu. We sat in the beer garden part of the restaurant which was lovely and spacious, loved the atmosphere, loved the decor, Loved the food and drink, especially the amazing milkshakes, and the staff were really helpful and looked after us well. Would definitely visit again when next in Chester and would highly recommend, even if you just go for a relaxing drink in the beer garden On a warm sunny day!"

"Wow! What a place! We booked a table for 5pm and it was already pretty crowded when we arrived. The atmosphere is quite lively which can be a bit confronting and overwhelming if you have Autism or Sensory problems. The staff are extremely helpful and very friendly. The food is divine! We had a platter and it feeds 2-3 easily. The drinks are wonderful. Our favourite things were the corn dogs, the baby back ribs and the brisket. Would definitely recommend Hickorys Smokehouse! I would say that this is a special occasion restaurant rather than an everyday eat place, because the prices are a bit higher, but saying that, the quality of the food, the staff, the decor are all top quality so it's worth every penny. Can't wait to visit again!"

"Very helpful staff. Spent a lot of time with us advising what dishes contained allergens and what modifications could be made. They have a good gluten free menu. The food was amazing. We were even given samples of the food as my face must have looked far from convinced when they told us the brisket was delicious. And it was! And I don't like meat. Only down side was we found that the "magic dust" on the tato tots was quite garlicky which was a bit much for us."
