While visiting Hilliard from Texas for work, I wanted to experience how other states do barbecue,…read moreso I decided to try Smoke Licked Barbecue. First impressions were great. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. They even allowed me to sample a few items before ordering, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, I arrived just before 5 PM and they were already out of ribs, which was disappointing. I ordered the brisket, pulled pork tacos, street corn, and coleslaw. The brisket was very tender and moist, but I felt it could have used a little more seasoning. The pulled pork tacos had excellent texture and were enjoyable to eat, but the flavor was mild enough that, if I'd closed my eyes, I'm not sure I would have identified it as pulled pork. The coleslaw was also a bit lackluster for my taste and could have benefited from more seasoning. The standout side for me was the smoked street corn, which was flavorful and easily one my favorite parts of the meal. Overall, the service and cleanliness were excellent, and the food quality was solid. I just personally prefer a bolder, more seasoned barbecue flavor profile.

I really respect the creativity out of their menu and the chances they take with unique dishes and appetizers. This isn't your run of mill BBQ place but instead a place that thinks OUTSIDE OF THE BOX and pulls it off masterfully. Customer service is Phenomenal. While I waited on my order the cashier was kind enough to let me sample TWO of their real cane sodas! Location wise it's kinda outta the way but it's well worth the drive and money well spent! We can't wait to return!

The brisket sandwich was utterly delicious, very tender and flavored brisket with a nice squishy bun to tie it all together. Paired with sauce it made a superb start to my meal. The Mac and cheese wasn't bad at all, kind of tasted like the Whole Foods Mac and cheese but wasn't that terrible, 7/10. Now the banana pudding, wow, some of the best banana pudding I've had from places around here. If you ever nearby please stop at this city barbeque, I can't speak for all of them but this one sure did the trick! - Daquan out

The more cowbell sandwich was sooo good everything about it was perfect, brisket was so tender and flavorful. The Mac and cheese side was lacking in flavor and cheese. There was almost no cheese and the macaroni was discolored in some areas which was kind of off putting. My wife got the nachos and the pulled pork and topping like the pickled onions and cheese were great, sadly the chips were stale you should only use fresh chips. The bowl the nachos were placed in to go was so big. Unfortunately, it was mainly stale chips. Either make the bowl smaller so the ratio works better or add more of the delicious meat and toppings. We will give you another try in a month to see if you've improved on your quality. I have hopes for you.

There was a recent change in ownership. The new owners are still getting their feet on the ground,…read morebut for us the service change has been excellent. I go semi-regularly with my daughter and they always treat her like a queen. Just recently, we had a meal on Halloween and one of the staff brought out a free brownie for my daughter just to celebrate the holiday. The restaurant was already providing a free meal for Halloween, so more was completely unnecessary, but also appreciated and brought a lot of joy. The new owners have had nothing but trouble with the soda machine. When they bought in, there was one of those fancy touch-screen machines where you pick from a million flavors you don't want. It broke, so they replaced it with a traditional soda machine. That one broke and it has been broken for a while. I was told on Halloween that it is finally fixed and now they are just restocking supplies for the machine, so it should be ready to go soon. The vibe of the place has moved from kind of corporate-standard "this is Texas" decor, to more of a country biker bar vibe. There are a lot of personal touches that I really enjoy including some interesting toys scattered around the place and a station where you order your food where you can play sudoku or do a word find while you wait for the server to take your order. There are some rough edges to smooth out yet. On our last visit, there was no plasticware available at the drink station, so I had to go and ask for it. The soda-machine, as mentioned, was still broken, but that is on the mend. I didn't really talk about the food. Seems like some reviewers have had trouble in that area, but I haven't. I don't exactly exercise the whole menu, but my westerner combo with brisket and jalapeno sausage is always delicious and the portion is plentiful. I like several of the sides including the baked beans, potato casserole, and green beans. There are several sauces to choose from and I like the regular well enough. Sometimes I mix it with the spicy for a bit more kick. Many BBQ restaurants can't maintain reasonable meat quality when there isn't enough volume to support it, but I think Dickey's has that mostly figured out. It isn't going to beat the best restaurants in the country, but it is going to provide a decent, consistent product that is worthy of your business and definitely holds up to other places in the area.

We ordered their "feed the fam Friday" which included a large 1 topping, Italian sub, garlic or cheesy bread, and 2 liter of soda for $25. When I tell you this meal was worth every single penny of $25! The topping, meat, and bread ratio on the sub was outstanding! The flavor of the sauce that came with the cheesy bread was soooo good. Sweet, yet savory. And the pan pizza with the old fashioned pepperoni grease cups. Man... We are officially stuffed for the night with almost a large pizza and half an order of cheese bread left lol The staff was so nice too! They saw me trying to carry my large order and opened the door + offered to walk me to my car and help me. We will definitely be back!

It started with jalapeño cornbread as a base, then pulled pork topped with a homemade bbq sauce that had a little zip to it, next was macaroni and cheese, then brisket and topped with coleslaw. The coleslaw was just a mild slaw. The Brisket was phenomenal, very moist and tender with a nice smoky taste. The Mac and cheese was a baked version made with Velveeta which was very tasty. The star of the show for me was the jalapeño cornbread that was the base. A nice sweet corn flavor and add in some jalapeño bits. OMG!!!! On to the people behind the food. Wade and Kara Nichols. Super nice people. They started the truck in April. They are using a blend of hickory and cherry wood pellets for the Brisket which is smoked for 18 hours. The pork is smoked for 12-14 hours utilizing apple wood. The Bbq sauce is homemade and is available to purchase. Great food and I will definitely be back to check out more. Don't hesitate to check this truck out. Great Food and Great People!!!

Listen. This was a struggle in several ways. But worth it…read more I kept hearing great things about this, and I had some free time on a Wednesday, which is dollar wing day. Random lane closures on Broad made it a pain to get there. It is surrounded by rundown strip malls, and the access and parking are pretty bumpy. It's hard to get in: there are locked doors with buzzers, and it is not real clear which door you should use. There is a pickup door, very clearly marked, but the regular entrance is just a little portico, the entrance to the vets, so press one of the buzzers. Inside, it's a standard veterans hall. Dark, bar the main attraction, with tables, pool tables too, quiet in the afternoon. The wings part was pretty busy, with dine in and carry out customers. And I knew that, and I knew wings take a while, so I was prepared to wait. Service was excellent, friendly, helpful, from several people during my stay. And the food was excellent. I was going to get onion rings, but they said on Wednesdays they don't have room in the fryer for those. I was a little disappointed because I figured they probably have great onion rings. Oh well. So I got the pretzel bites. A fairly small order for seven dollars, but the best pretzel bites I've ever had, I think because they were deep-fried. (They're smaller than onion rings.) Hot and crispy on the outside, tender inside, with a good honey mustard sauce. You can also get ranch I think. And since wings were a dollar I wanted to get a bunch but I wasn't super hungry, so I got six. Regular wings, with the Alabama white sauce. Perfectly cooked, big, meaty, juicy wings, crispy on the outside, covered with sauce but not smothered. The sauce was a little smooth and creamy with a little heat from the horseradish, call it medium. Very good. Went well with the wings. The wings even plain would've been excellent. And they have dozens of sauces, a bunch of which I would like to try. Check their Facebook to make sure they're open. The last few months they have had some issues, which seem to be sorted out mostly. Allow yourself some time. Come on Wednesday and get as many wings as you can eat. Mm-mm.

I feel like this would be a 3.5 had there been half stars. Man we need those half stars…read more This place is a hidden secret we didn't know about til recently. It's inside the AmVets building on west broad street. Don't need to be a member as long as you're coming in to eat. The prices are pretty good on the food. The prices are amazing from the bar since it's AmVets. The server was actually the wife of the owner, Tammy, so that was a nice treat. She gave us the low down on the place and all the unique sauces they have. All made in house. Great info. Great service. The wings are a nice size. Comparable to Roosters and that's sayin something because Roosters wings are bigger than any I've ever had. We got fries and onion rings to start. Both yummy. Another patio told is to get the wizard sauce. Apparently it's a wing sauce but he said it's best on the sides. It was delicious on the onion rings. The sauce list is very unique and very diverse. I went with a classic, garlic parm. It was good. I've always wanted to try Alabama White. It was very tasty. If you like the horseradish flavor. Our friend got the scorpion wings and the kit him on fire. He got sample taster of the hottest one that's not even on the menu. It was Major Pain. He said he tasted awful but wow was it hot lol. It was super thick like a tomato paste. Other friend got honey smacks. It was pretty good. Not super hot but had a tingle for sure. The mean mug was pretty tasty. My husband got the hot honey and said it wasn't really very hot. Asian sticky. That one was good. Not hot. The ranch was weird. Pretty sure it was a dill dip lol. Tastes and looks like the dill dip I make for veggies. We would definitely go back. Only reason I did 3 starts was cuz my husband didn't find a sauce he likes so we will just have to try more next time!
