Smokies Hickory House BBQ

"3 meat combo. Very nice. Very tasty. Recommend highly. Many thanks"

"Some might argue that Smokies has the best BBQ in the whole state and I would agree! Super friendly service, the tastiest sandwiches you can imagine, and sides that will my you salivate! So good! A MUST if you’re in town visiting!"

"OK, this place is amazingly awesome, and they put out some delicious BBQ for such a small place. If you go at lunch, it can be a little bit of a wait. Plenty of park out back of a gravel parking lot. They do have an outdoor sitting area, but it's closed for repairs and is very dated. It's a seat yourself joint that is always filled with smokes, as their name implies. Please checkout the daily and monthly specials. I ordered the fired mushrooms as the special appetizers and the baked potato with chopped brisket as their Wednesdays special. Holy smoke was the potato super delicious and filling. It's served as a loaded smashed potato. I could taste a hint of smoke in potato as well. They have multiple choices of BBQ sauces, even though the meat is perfectly smoked and seasoned. The sour cream was a perfect final topping. The service is fast, friendly, and continuous. My waitress was honest about the large portions, knowledgeable about the menu and always kept my sweet tea glass full. I even was offered a cup to go. If you've hungry and are looking for no kidding great BBQ, then this is a must on your foodie list. Lots of innovative items. 10/10"

"Food highlights: exceptional ribs (tender and meaty) delicate/tender fresh fried okra, lean and flavorful pulled pork). Those are our favorite selections, but we’ve tried everything and the rest is good, too. Meats are sliced very thin, which was unusual to our (native Texas) palates. Many different sauces on the table and all of them are excellent. Service: friendly, chatty, responsive, and fast. Ambience: cozy, comfortable, friendly seat-yourself (small) dining room. Clean. Cost: Meal for four adults — including appetizer, three teas, and four meals —plus tip cost us $106 in April 2023. Portions are generous, so we always leave with leftovers. We are fairly frugal, and consider this meal worth the price. We only found this place, just driving by one day. We ordered their huge “Fat Boy Platter” and split it so we could try all of their different meats. We were NOT disappointed. Outstanding! The ribs were so good that we ordered extras during that same meal. We’ve returned several times in a relatively short time span and will continue to come back as often as possible. Highly recommended!"
