Don't waste your time coming here!! We came on a Saturday afternoon with our daughter who attends Martin Methodist. When we came in I was skeptical of the buffet when seeing it. Went ahead and ordered the buffet and was never told that it would not be restocked because it was going to be pulled in about 20 minutes. So we each had one plate with a small amount of pulled pork. When we asked if they were going to bring anymore out, that's when we were told that the buffet was over and it was not going to be replenished. The food is average at best and the service was absolutely nothing to brag about. There are definitely better restaurants and bbq in town. Check out the Rusty Spur, much better!!! read more

We were looking for some good southern BBQ. Stopped for a quick bite to eat on our buisness trip per recommendations from Yelp. This place was fast, clean, and had everything a great BBQ should have. read more

I'm no BBQ specialist, but this was very tasty. We ordered takeout and it was very loud over the phone, so we knew they were busy. It's a small, family operation, which I found really fun. I wish they had put silverware with our order, but we managed. For sides, my daughter loved the mac and cheese, and I thought the cole slaw was really good. You may like the baked beans, but I wasn't a fan (my husband was, though). I'd recommend this place for sure. read more

Hickory House Restaurant - Pulled pork plate with mac and cheese and baked beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Pulaski, Tennessee

We went in at 3:50 p.m. after calling ahead and asking someone what time the buffet was available since we lived an hour away. The buffet was supposed to be ready at 4. We left at 4:30. The buffet was still not ready and the staff was very unapologetic and offered no explanations whatsoever! We will not be back! read more

This place reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. Great southern comfort food at a great price. This place is worth driving from Nashville!

There Filet Mignon (Mama's Q's) is top notch above anyone steak place I can think of. We go to Conner's frequently and it's better than there's!! We have always enjoyed the hickory house but for whatever reason didn't realize about there steaks!! Fantastic!! Hickory House all the way! read more

We drove almost an hour, round-trip, off Ii65 to eat here based on positive Yelp reviews. Unfortunately, after eating the Friday night buffet, the best I can say is, meh. The cornbread was dry, the ribs were tough, and I had to sort through the stack of plates to find a clean one. The mac n cheese shells were boiled to within an inch of their life. I gave three stars because the hush puppies were tasty and the sliced pork, while a little dry and hard to come by, was flavorful. Also, the young woman who waited our table was friendly, although our dirty dishes were never cleared the entire time we were there. read more

Best buffet food ever!!! The ribs and smoked chicken to die for!!! We live about 40 miles away but the drive is so worth it!

I kind of hate this place because I love it so much!!! I want to eat here all the time!! Every time I have family come in from out of town I have to bring them here! I also recommend to anyone who visits our town. read more

I know the name sounds like a BBQ place and they do have great BBQ but we ordered a filet and ribeye steak. This was the BEST grilled, hand cut, Certified Angus Beef I've ever eaten! And when you add truly southern side dishes you can't go wrong!! We will defiantly be back and bringing the whole family! read more

Can I say yummm yummm! Brisket plate delicious. My husband says best smoked sausage he's ever had. We didn't choose the buffet but after eating off the menu we would not hesitate to choose the buffet. Use your GPS to locate it- it's a little bit of a surprise - its street just behind Sonic read more

This place is great! The food is great and the service was excellent! Great place to go for a steak or ribs! Wonderful atmosphere! For sure not a chain restaurant. You won't be disappointed. read more

Awesome lunch. I had a pulled pork sandwich and my husband had the beef brisket sandwich. Told our waitress next time we were bringing a cooler and take home some bbq by the pound. If you are looking for small town quaintness and good food - you have found the right place. read more

Happy to find this authentic Southern Sunday buffet lunch. Not much else around was open as we drove from one State Park to another, so we were glad to find delicious fried chicken, BBQ, Lima beans, greens and homemade cherry cobbler just the way my Mom use to make it. Delightfully friendly waitresses happy to refill our sweet iced teas. If you are looking for true Southern home cooking, this is the place to go. read more

Now that they have weaned out the weakest servers, this place is pretty good. The cobblers are worth the price of admission ( peach is the best ever) but you will pay for it later with that kind of sugar overdose. I really like the spicing of the bbq, the smokiness, and their house beans. The service last Wednesday for lunch was exceptional so she got a fat tip and a compliment to her manager. If they would leave the sugar out of the green beans and the collards, (totally grossed me out), it would be 5. read more

We are regulars here and have never been unhappy. It's hard to find a parking space during lunch but it's worth the short walk to the overflow parking. Both the buffet & menu items are great and the beef is local. If you're getting take out, call ahead. It can get a lil crowded at the register. Overall this place has good food and friendly faces. A home town favorite for our family. read more

I had the chicken with broccoli and baked beans. The rest of the family had brisket, chicken sandwiches, etc. Everything was delicious. It wasn't too busy and the staff was friendly as you would expect to find in a small Southern town. read more

Great food and service!! The steak is so tender it literally melts in you mouth!! Thanks JP and Jackie for a great dinning experience.

Drove from Huntsville Alabama to Hickory House to celebrate Mother's Day a day early with my family. We chose Hickory House based off of the great reviews it had online. We arrived at the restaurant and were quoted a 30 minute wait. We weren't seated until an hour later. Once seated, we were told that many of the items on the menu weren't available due to shortages of food. Our waitress took our drink orders and left. During this time, a party full of the owners friends were seated at a table near us. Our waitress returned with our drinks and quickly left before we could place our order so that she could go socialize with the party sitting at the other table. She talked with them for at least 10 minutes, then took their order ahead of ours. All the while, the party sitting at the table were using vulgar language and being very loud. My three younger siblings were disturbed by the display that these friends of the owner were putting on. So much so that my youngest brother had to put his hands over his ears due to the language. After not being waited on for 20 minutes due to the party of friends, my parents and I decided that it would be best for us to just pay for our drinks and leave. We spoke with the waitress and the manager on our way out and neither of them seemed to have much remorse for the events that lead up to our decision to leave. It's a shame we didn't get the chance to taste the food. We just couldn't justify to ourselves paying high prices for a limited selection of food, all while not being waited on and having to listen to the owners friends being allowed to curse. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Hickory house to anyone. read more

The Hickory House has reopened under new management. I always enjoy good family owned places and the Hickory House didn't disappoint. I ate lunch there today (12/2/14) and had the BBQ buffet. The food was good, the atmosphere was nice, and the service was AMAZING!!! I also saw some plates of catfish coming from the kitchen, can't wait to go back to try those out. The buffet changes daily, today it was pork chops, BBQ chicken, sliced pork, and pulled pork (very good!). The hot sides were also very good, I had the rice with mushroom and the mashed potatoes. The buffet is $7.95/ lunch and you can add the salad bar for a few dollars more. They do have wine and beer. It's a small place and the parking in front fills up fast but there is a small city lot locates just across the creek (don't worry there is a bridge, you won't need your fishing waiters). I enjoyed both the food and southern hospitality and will definitely be back the next time that I am in town! read more

My family just across the state line and has been raving about this place ever since they tried it so when I came to visit this is the first place they wanted to take me. An hour drive through the country later, we arrived at a cute little establishment kind of tucked away at the bottom of a hill. We were cheerfully greeted and seated by one of their wait staff. Because my parents were so pleased with their past experiences with the BBQ buffet, I opted to try it instead of ordering an entree. They give you the option of just the buffet or the buffet with a salad bar. It being a BBQ buffet I doubted I would have room for a salad so I chose to try the buffet on its own. They had a very nice selection, comprised of ribs, shredded pork shoulder, greens, creamed corn and essentially all the Southern staples that a good BBQ should have. I was stuck on the ribs, cornbread, cream corned which were all delicious. The ribs practically fell off the bone and every taste of every dish reminded me of all the cookouts we've had and still have. It's the kind of cooking only your grandmother can do. The real star for me though was the blackberry cobbler. Cobbler is my favorite Southern dessert and I often make if over the summer when blackberries and peaches are at their peak. This cobbler had a nice flaky crust that held up to the moist filling. The crust was on both the top and bottom of the cobbler which made the flaky, dry texture all the more surprising. Surprising yet very welcome! I'll definitely try to visit The Hickory House every time I come to visit my parents! read more

Good service, nice family atmosphere, and excellent food. They had a buffet but we ordered from the menu

We are regulars , sometime getting the buffett and other times ordering a strip steak. We ate in Oklahoma City at the Cattlemen's Club which is supposed to be the best steakhouse in Oklahoma. The was no comparing the two. Hickory House was sooo much better hands down! read more

Fantastic food! Greatly respectful and caring service. Highly recommend. Beef is locally sourced and fantastic. Your steak should be cooked to the temp you order as long as you respect the quality of the meat and order rare. Will be back. I certainly loved it. P.S. Try the catfish. read more

Best food in Pulaski! Not only does The Hickory House have good BBQ, but the buffet is always good- from the catfish to the banana pudding (which is my favorite!) Great variety!!! Fast service and the waitresses are very attentive. And who can forget about the awesome owners... Mrs. Jackie is great!!! I highly recommend you try this place out! read more
