HICKORY STICK REVIEWS

From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the sweetest staff. Asked for recommendations on what to eat. We were told about the ribs and sausage. We tried them out with a side of Cole slaw and baked beans. And let me tell you…..They did not disappoint. Then we tried the pecan pie and lemon pie, man o man there was nothing there they we could have one bad thing to say about. Then as we were leaving we met the owner and she was just the sweetest lady. They have been in business for 47 years! Stop and give them a try you will not leave hungry or disappointed.

Delicious smoked meats and barbecue. Plates, sandwiches, poboys, burgers and more available for lunch and dinner. Sides include potato salad, Cole slaw, baked beans and chips and fountain drinks. Everyone was very friendly and hospitable.I got the sliced beef poboy and it was delicious.

Anthony was fantastic and was very kind to our kids. This is one of our favorite drive through places that serve yummy, consistently tasty food. Highly recommend if you're in the area and want some good barbecued food.

JACK'S BAR-B-Q REVIEWS

This barbecue was so good. Had a 2meat plate which also came with 2 sides. The brisket was very tender and the sausage had a ton of delicious Smokey flavor. The vibe was a fun hole in the wall and the servers were so kind.

The place was packed and I was surprised how fast they got through the line. Food was amazing and reasonable prices. I got a variety of things. Look forward to going back and trying more things on menu.

Super friendly, welcoming and efficient folks. Brisket and ribs are so good, moist, juicy and hot, extremely flavorful.

PODNUH'S BAR-B-Q REVIEWS

Great food. Loved their chopped brisket and their Podnuh's baked beans. Friendly staff.

Absolutely loved the female manager! felt welcome, food was bomb, place was clean.

Super friendly staff and some damn good southern BBQ.
