Excellent service and even better barbecue. I worked out my order over the phone with suggestions from Drew. The food was hot and ready at the time we agreed on and everything went off without a hitch. I was on a tight schedule so this was very important to me. Everything went off without got was outstanding. I could go on and on about each item. Brisket, ribs & sausage - perfectly cooked and seasoned. I didn't need any sauce, but of course the sauce was tasty too. The Mac & cheese, baked beans & street corn were so great. The desserts - peanut butter, pecan and banana pudding - all beautifully prepared and delicious! Y'all crushed it Drew! Thanks. Easy to find in downtown Maypearl. Their restaurant is a classic old building converted to a bad ass barbecue spot. Parking may be a problem, but find a way. Make a way. You can walk it off even if you have to park outside of town. I'll be back this weekend! Worth every penny!

Not our first rodeo to Drew's BBQ. A bit out of the way for our lunch but was craving some good…read morebbq which seems to be harder and harder to find. My wife and my office manager both ordered the stuffed potato. They enjoyed it. I had the two meat plate which came with three ribs and Fatty brisket. My two choices of meat. The ribs were baby back as I was told they are normally spare ribs but they didn't have any spare ribs today. None the less the ribs were tender, moist and very flavorful. Did not need any sauce. The brisket was moist and tender with a mouth full of flavor as well. Needed no sauce. But, the sauce on the table was an extremely thin almost watery sauce that had bland flavor to it and a slightly thicker and sweeter sauce that was acceptable. I would give 5 stars to the BBQ but the potato salad which consisted of large chunks of red potatoes and yellow mustard with absolutely nothing else gets a 1 star at best. I will have to point out as well that I asked not to be served the end pieces of the ribs as end pieces are always dry. They obliged but what was strange is I was served two slices of bread, both in which were the butts of the loaf. Go figure. Was this a joke or what? Would I come back? Probably but after $63 lunch bill It may be a while. 3 total stars: Price too high for two potatoes and a two meat plate. Terrible potato salad. The butt of the bread.

It has has an out side sitting area. We walked up to the self ordering kiosk. We ordered the 1lb burnt ends, $24.99, but it no way looked like the container was an actual pound. The burnt ends were very tender, well seasoned and the sauce that came in was awesome. We also got two side orders a medium cream corn which was well seasoned and very tasty for $7.99 and a small brisket beans which were spicy but very tasty. We also got two drinks half sweet/unsweetened tea, $2.25 and HEB Dr. B half liter $1.00 total $43.00. We sat at the outside sitting area and when one the female employees came around asked how we were enjoying the food my brother asked why they did offer any paper plates she acted like he was speaking in a foreign language. She didn't even try to answer his question but just kept on walking away. Overall it was a good experience I would back again cause I really liked the food. Not the best and not the worse. The outside sitting area was very clean but it was communinal style sitting.

I can't tell if they changed the recipe or if I somehow never noticed before, but either way, it's a no-go for me. Overall, this spot is still definitely worth experiencing...maybe just bring your own BBQ sauce.

Ended up stopping by for BREAKFAST! (Breakfast is served from 7am-10:30am.) Nothing overly fancy or reinvented, just a solid classic breakfast done fresh and to the point. It's a small BBQ spot (though there's plenty of seating inside) with that local feel. The griddle sits right behind the deli line so you can watch everything being made fresh, pancakes, sausage, potatoes, and eggs being made to your favorite doneness on the skillet beside it. We ordered Brad Breakfast and Breakfast Special with a side of gravy. Everything came out hot, fresh, and fulfilling. Tall stack of pancakes were so fluffy and warm. The staff was friendly and welcoming, even during the morning rush. One thing to know beforehand: they do get busy, and the line moves quickly, so they definitely expect you to know your order once it's your turn at the counter. Simple breakfast done right.

LANCASTER, TEXAS -- let's talk about a breakfast spot that UNDERSTANDS THE ASSIGNMENT: Hickory…read moreHouse! Listen... if you want fresh, made-to-order breakfast that tastes like home (and not that "fancy brunch with overpriced avocado toast" nonsense ), you need to slide through Hickory House where the griddle's hot, the vibe is real, and the locals have been loyal since the big hair and boom box days of the '80s. Now, let's give flowers to the MVP Mike, the owner and head cook. His customer service? TOP. TIER. He's got jokes, good energy, and a memory that could put AI to shame. This man will remember your order before you even sit down. It's giving small-town celebrity chef energy. Now let's talk FOOD because, baby... it's not just breakfast .. it's an experience. I had The Brad Breakfast: ham, bacon, sausage, cheesy scrambled eggs, home fries with onions, and buttery toast that just melts in your mouth. My son went with the Short Stack: two fluffy pancakes with bacon that disappeared faster than a TikTok trend. Everything is cooked right in front of you on the grill ! No heat lamps, no reheats, no games. Just hot, fresh, greasy goodness the way breakfast should be. And can we talk about the prices?!! Lancaster, keep your gem close because Hickory House is serving five-star flavor on a neighborhood budget. I washed it all down with an Arnold Palmer (because balance, darling ) and left full, happy, and plotting my next visit. So if you're in Lancaster, TX, don't walk -- RUN to Hickory House. Breakfast, community, and vibes? This place understood the assignment before it was even trending. Hickory House ....where nostalgia, flavor, and sass all meet at the grill. #BreakfastGoals #HickoryHouseTX #LancasterEats #SupportLocal #SouthernBites #MadeToOrderMagic #YelpEliteEats #BrunchWithoutTheBougie #FoodieApproved #TexasBreakfastLove

The place was fully booked, but the hostess saved the day and offered us lounge seating on the sofas. Honestly, it felt a little VIP...like we'd accidentally wandered into the cool kids' corner. I halfway considered putting on my sunglasses indoors just to commit to the moment, maybe even asking if they offered bottle service in the lounge. Within 10 minutes we were settled in and already getting excellent service. And as if the vibe wasn't good enough, there was a one‑man show crooning jazzy tunes in the background. He was smooth, talented, and added just the right soundtrack for an early dinner. Think "speakeasy energy," but suburban‑friendly. Now, the food. My husband ordered the Crunchy Pig sandwich, my sister went for the half rack of ribs, and I claimed the smoked turkey BLT. Everything hit the table about 20 minutes later, hot, fresh, and so lip‑smacking tasty that we inhaled every bite before remembering we meant to take pictures. My apologies to the food‑photo purists; trust me, the plates were camera‑ready before we destroyed them. If you find yourself wandering around The District in Midlothian, do yourself a righteous favor and grab a memorable meal here. Great food, great service, great music, and apparently great sofas.

Turkey all white meat and dry. Cornbread stuffing was an unflavored brick that was thrown away. The greens. Canned. Green beans unseasoned. Mac and cheese unseasoned. Mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes. My aunt tried to salvage the meal by seasoning EVERYTHING and rebaking the Mac with additional cheese. Which caused the Mac to be over cooked but tolerable. I have never in my life not finished a plate or left w/o leftovers for a thanksgiving meal. We threw away the leftovers and dinner was terrible. I'm not sure if this is the norm for this business but if the regular menu is terrible like the catered meal on an important holiday was I can not and do not recommend.

I'm not from DeSoto, was visiting a friend & took my 4 grandkids there for a late lunch. The lady behind the counter was friendly enough taking our order. But when I asked for french fries or fried okra, she told me to go next door - actually referred me to the restaurant next door! She said to go order that while she prepares our food. I did but when I got back, the teens had already rec'd their sandwiches. She brought me mine & asked if I had ordered my fries. I said yes but it will take 7 minutes. What? She said - it doesn't take that long. You start on your sandwich & I'll go get your fries. She went next door & came back with my fries! The okra wasn't ready, she said she'd go back for that, which she did! Her hubby, Ray came out for a break (it was well after the lunch rush on a Saturday) & she introduced us. What out of this world service!! Ray sat down in a booth with another gentleman who was watching a football game on the restaurant's TV up in the corner. The restaurant was spotless. Tables were neat and floor was spotless. You must wear a mask to enter any of the restaurants in the shopping center. You place your order at a huge plexiglass protecting the employees. Now about the food - OMG the sandwich was huge! and so fresh. We all got chopped beef - the sandwich was packed with fresh, hot tasty meat. It was served with a little cup of BBQ sauce, awesome flavor. The bun was fat, fresh, toasted and hot. One grandson order pulled pork - he said it was amazing. Another grandson ordered a loaded baked potato, that looked good, but it was gone quickly, so I didn't get a photo. When we left, my pickup wouldn't start. I asked the boys to go in & ask if they had jumper cables. They returned saying that Ray's wife would go get cables. Seconds later she left & ret'd shortly. She pulled up next to me & the gentleman who was inside watching the game came out & applied the cables for us. My truck started right away. I gave her a hug (can't believe I didn't ask her name) and she told me to be blessed. Then she turned to the teens and said ya'll be blessed! We did honestly receive a blessing by stopping here. This will be my go-to place when I am visiting my buddy in DeSoto. Thank goodness for sweet, kind & caring people who go out of their way for you. And visit the suburbs occasionally - we big-city people need to get away more often!
