Southern Hickory Barbecue

"Came through for lunch got a 1/2 slab of ribs chips n potato salad. The potato salad was good, but the ribs tasted old. Plus faty with super greasy. That was the worst 15 bucks I spent."

"Usually my chicken is great But today it was so so dry and their sauce for their potato has just gotten so runny. But my biggest complaint is the blonde head that wears her hair in the braids. The piggy tail braids that works on Sundays... She has the worst attitude of anyone of ever seen in a restaurant. She acts like your bothering her. If you ask for extra sauce or something. Maybe y'all need to rethink who works in the window and put one of those other young ladies that are in the back at the window that actually have a good attitude!"

"I visited here last Monday for lunch while working in the Hartselle area. I had planned to eat inside but when I got there I realized it was much more of a drive through vibe so I went through the line and then drove to a nearby large lot and ate in my car. I'm honestly not sure if there's any indoor dining or not, but it worked out fine for me. They were reasonably busy at around 1 PM - maybe 3 cars ahead of me. I got through quickly enough and was able to place my order probably in less than 10 minutes. The menu isn't super easily viewable from the line so know what you want beforehand! The lady at the window was pleasant enough. I ordered a pulled pork potato and a large (they mean it when they say large!) sweet tea. I thought the price was VERY reasonable - I got out for only around $12 for a plenty large lunch. As far as bbq taters go, this isn't the monstrously large kind you'll find at Lawlers or the nearby Pigskin BBQ, but it is certainly big enough for a filling meal. The potato was cooked nicely. I was pretty happy with the pork, too -- good consistency/pull, and I could actually taste the smoke! My one complaint is that the sour cream and whipped butter spread (not real butter) came on the side. I very much prefer restaurants to apply those ingredients themselves so they can melt into the potato beneath the hot meat and cheese. Also, real butter would've been my preference, lol. Overall though, very solid potato and bbq for a very reasonable price. I would certainly return for a tasty local lunch."

"I went here while going to a wrestling event next door and I was like they got a drive thru let’s check them out and I must say it was a great visit.. Their bbq is very different it’s really good their corn is sooo juicy and good lol … Their ribs are great I didn’t have any sauce it was good with out . Then they are reasonable their not expensive I see y their be so busy .. I will return when ever I’m back in town."

"The food was good. Getting people to understand the difference in barbecue sauce and just something with some vinegar and spices in it is another. Also when you send somebody out to take orders at the car the least they could do is smile. And not act like they really hate to be there. I won't be back at this one. I'll stick to mine at Cullman. The picture at the bottom is what y'all call barbecue sauce. It tasted like pure vinegar with a little pork grease added to it and some spices. Thank God I ordered a pint of white sauce."
