Hickory's Smokehouse,

Victoria Quay, Shrewsbury SY1 1HH

"This was our first visit to Hickory's and we were very impressed. We booked online and were able to choose from different available times. We had to pay a £20 deposit to book, but this may have been because it was new year's eve. There was also an option on the booking form to add any special requests, such as specific seating requirements. We booked for lunch time, so they were still serving their breakfast menu, which is available until 2pm (according to the menu). The staff were friendly and efficient, and the service was pretty quick. We ordered both off the breakfast and the main menu, and all dishes arrived together and were very enjoyable. We asked for the bill and noticed they apply an automatic 7.5% tip, so be weary of this. We were happy to pay it, so it wasn't an issue for us."

"Great experience today. Son's birthday and he loved it. Staff were great and all said happy birthday (even manager came over to wish him happy birthday). Food was amazing. The only sad point of the day was that I couldn't leave the place with a bucket of that amazing bourbon sauce. They keep that secret and safe. Thanks a lot everyone. Amazing!!"

"Absolutely loved this place. From start to finish it was brilliant. We went in early afternoon midweek for a late lunch and do not regret choosing this venue. Colette, our server, could not have been nicer. She always had a smile as she checked we had everything we wanted. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was very nice, the milkshakes and other drinks were amazing and the complimentary water and popcorn whilst also being in the "movie theatre" was great for the kids. We all left happy and went back a couple of days later for an evening meal which confirmed what a great place this is. We recommended to some family to visit and they were very grateful we suggested they visit as they had an amazing time as well. All in all, we will definitely be back for more fantastic food and marvellous milkshakes."

"Fabulous burgers (we had a veggie one and the southern fried chicken one). The raspberry and mint lemonade was delicious. Great atmosphere, quirky furniture and decoration. Loved the drinks in jars! Noticed the blankets and hot water bottles for the outside seating area: an environmentally-friendly alternative to those gas heaters! Happy to recommend this place."

"Excellent BBQ. Nice “southern American “ atmosphere by the River Severn. The BBQ sauce is good and authentic. The brand Hickory boasts FIVE Generations of BBQ quality and perfection. They have signature drinks like their own Grape Soda and Lemonades and brews. You get complimentary water and sweet popcorn when you sit down. Service is good and quick. Staff is attentive, nice, and friendly. Recommend the BBQ platter if you have a big appetite or you’re with a big eater. The variety is worth it. It’s also a splendid place for a tea or lemonade or pint in the afternoon and brilliant milkshakes and desserts."
