First time customer. I ended up going twice in one day. I bought my mother and I pork plates for lunch. I really wasn't expecting the portions we got for the price. Better tasting and more portions than the other BBQ downtown. I went back later that day and got the ribs to take home to my husband for supper. It made two meals each for us. My definite go to for BBQ on the weekends!! A+

Every single visit my husband and I are so pleased with the food we receive.The staff have always been patient, friendly, and very kind. The food here is GREAT! We have tried a variety of different options at Hickory Creek and they've all yet to disappoint. The price point is affordable, but on top of that, the portions served are large and ample enough to have plenty of left overs. In addition to the price and portion size, the quality of care in preparation is evident. Every spot has bad days, but we have yet to see one ourselves at Hickory Creek.The pulled pork sandwiches are hefty portions and the sauce accompanying them is absolutely delicious AND homemade. I believe we paid 8-9 dollars for a plate, and you get every penny's worth from this establishment. My husband and son have tried the ribs as well, they are tender juicy and succulent, with just the right amount of smokey flavor. My husband remarked that the potato salad is the best he has ever had in his life, and this guy loves potato salad.You can also purchase bottles of Hickory Creek's homemade barbecue sauce, you will not regret it. The regular sauce has a sweetness to it that meshes well with the mild smokey flavors and tangy notes in the sauce. If you get the hot barbecue sauce, the heat really enhances the flavors without being wildly hot, but adding just the right kick.The staff, the level of care in preparation of ingredients, and the location are all pretty great. If you haven't tried them, you should, they'll welcome you and make you feel right at home, then send you off with a full, satisfied belly.

Had the loaded potato, awesome. Came with a side of coleslaw, tasty. Had plenty of BBQ for the size of the potato (so many places skimp). outdoor picnic style seating was nice as long as the weather is.

The BBQ is excellent, the sides, however, are average. The pulled pork is tender and flavorful. We ordered potato salad, cole slaw, greens, and apples. They all tasted like every other place that under seasons their sides. When you go inside to order, the space is just big enough for 4 people. I do like the covered area they have for you to eat outside.

This didn’t share originally when I tried posting in JULY so reposting to make sure it’s seen since they ended up being closed for multiple days on end with no way of relaying that info here or on the business. Especially after going today and having it happen again, shows it’s a common occurrence.(Original post started here)Keeping hours updated on google is one of the easiest things a business can do to not waste a customers time. You can quickly do it even for temporary closings. 3:30 on a Thursday and not open as they claim to be, appreciate the waste of time.Edit: tried to go back the next day to give them another chance and still the same situation, now it’s just apparent these people don’t care about customers and will just close whenever. Hire people and stay open, or someone else will. Small town business monopoly will only last so long.

We stopped to pick up pulled pork BBQ and some sides. We were second in line in the drive through. The wait time was reasonable given the nature of putting custom orders together. The service at the windows was very pleasant, although I did not expect to be prompted for a tip in a drive through. We brought the order home and it was so good! I was disappointed that there was no BBQ sauce included in our two-pound order. I’m not certain if that was an oversight or if I was supposed to order/pay for it. Luckily we had some sauce in the fridge. As good as the BBQ was, I would have like to have tried their sauce… assuming it is made by them. We will likely give them another go, but perhaps eat inside so they can earn that tip!

I was really excited to try the BBQ here, the drive up line alone made it look worthwhile. After looking at pictures online my fiance and I decided on a pork chop and the fritter sandwich. As we were going to pay, someone from the back yelled at the poor lady at the window that they were out of pork chops and to stop trying to sell them. She looked at us and said shoot me now, seems like a hostile work environment. After all that, we settled on just the fritter sandwich. And here's the bigger disappointment. The pork had zero flavor, minimal bbq sauce, coupled with a stone cold fritter and coleslaw it was pretty terrible. I love the idea but it needs to be improved significantly.

Most people use the drive thru, the seats are outside, you walk in a small area to order if you're eating there, the service is fast, and you will not leave hungry, it's really good BBQ, their BBQ sauce is great
