Hickory Hollow Restaurant and Catering 8038 Fallbrook Drive, Houston, TX 77064

"Overall it was a great experience. The food was really good, and the quality was great - I would have given it a 5-star had the meat had flavor if the crust falls off. We knew that they season after it’s cooked - but the breading does come off when you cut it so if you get a bite with no crust, it is a little bland. However, it was delicious and a fun place to go with family. My husband and I shared the large and it was more than enough for two people. Our son had a large and three of his kids shared a small - and they couldn’t eat it all."

"Been going here for over 40 yrs and it's still just as good!! The BBQ sandwiches were a weekly treat in high school and the chicken fried steak is the bomb!! The photo is of the medium cfs I had for my bday"

"Hickory hollow has a cool country atmosphere with antique adding machines and country music memorabilia décor. View the menu on the wall and place your order at the front. You'll be given a number. We found seating for our party of five in the back. I ordered a two meat bbq plate with "fatty" brisket, ribs, macaroni and cheese and fried okra. There is a limited beer selection, I got the last Shiner Bock. They'll call your number to come get your food. I was reminded to get bbq sauce by the woman at the window and it was needed as the meat was dry which was very disappointing. The ribs had good flavor and came off the bone but were dry. The macaroni and cheese was like the Kraft box variety and the okra was good, typical. My cousin told me she only orders the steak and had never tried the bbq. Everything is self serve, drinks, condiments, salad bar, beer fridge. The restroom and dining room were clean. A lady came around occasionally to take away plates. We were able to sit for a while and visit which was nice. Not terribly impressed for my first visit though I am open to trying other menu items in the future."

"Come in, order at the desk. Seat yourself whatever you like and get drinks and utensils for your meal. They'll speak on the intercom for your order (number) Bought the 4 meat plate ($23.50) comes with 2 sides Sausage is generic, Ribs is very huge and tender, I recommend it Lean Brisket... taste like brisket, very solid but not enough smokiness and dry as usual... I would recommend the fatty instead. Chicken fried steak is also very good. Mash potato: potatoey with little chunks of potatoes, very good Mac n cheese very solid, What makes this place is the gravy... goes with everything Personally I would not recommend the sausage or lean brisket as their chicken fried steak, ribs, Mac n Cheese, and Mash potato are above average. What makes this food attractive is the gravy, not too thick but light and flavorful."

"Hello everyone. This is the second time I've been to this location. My sister in law just loves it here and to be honest it's pretty good. We did have the chicken fried steak and some brisket, also ordered the ribeye. You come in and order and just look for an empty table, basically seat yourself. Dibs on the corner table in the back. We didn't wait to long for our food, they call a number that you're given when you order. Just head over the the food window and get your plates. I was really hungry and I know myself, I tend to just devour everything, but I have to say that the chicken fried steak was really good. It was hot, tender, crust was crispy, crunchy and well seasoned. The gravy was good and did complement the steak, but it wasn't a milk gravy, not sure if maybe stock based but it was good. We did enjoy the food and after eating we just kind of sat there and talked for a while, just took in the atmosphere. I know I'm not focusing on the brisket and that's because we came to try the chicken fried steak. But the brisket was good, I would recommend you come in to try various menu items, I haven't had a few things but the food is good. Come by and bring the kids, friends and family."
