Still one of my fave places to get a chili burger or a chili dog the barbecue salads are good as well as well as their french fries and they have some awesome sweet tea. The service is always consistent and fast and friendly and it's a barbecue house. That should explain the.ambience. definitely recommend stopping by. read more

I've been eating their BBQ since I was a kid. The best BBQ sandwich and Brunswick stew around. All other BBQ I eat is compared to this place. Only found a couple of places in 50 years that were close. read more

I've had the blessing of eating at the secret Fern over 20 years I have never found anything on their order that wasn't delicious. I did order fried onion rings the other day and they were so wonderful great place to go friendly people easy in and out thankful they're here read more

Different from the BBQ I'm used to but very good. Service was excellent the cashier is patient and friendly . There are tables to sit down inside and out. Inside is small, so i would advise to sit outside or take Togo. The small area inside allows for quick eating during break, you will be done with your food in less the 30 mins. Portions are a nice size,very hand friendly. Tried the pulled pork sandwich and the chilli cheese dogs, the fries are steak fries and cooked to perfection! read more

Hickory Hut BBQ - a person holding a menu - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Georgia

I've eaten here more than any place in my life. Hometown favorite. The chili burgers and BBQ is Awesome.

No where to sit Bar area is small Food is great. Old school BBQ I'm sure it is more fun in the summer read more

Excellent chili dogs! Excellent french fries. Good and friendly service. Located just past downtown and next to the railroad underpass. Dallas Ga read more

It is true! It is a Hut BBQ that is very small. And there was a waiting line at the order counter. Everyone seat yourself if you can find a place to sit or there is outside setting area to sit after you pick up your food and walk through the parking lot. I had the BBQ plate that came with Brunswick Stew and fries, The chopped pork was covered with a very thin sauce that smelled and tasted like vinegar. The Brunswick stew had corn floating in it so I guess it was Brunswick soup instead. Plus the fries were cold. However the water tasted good. I do not recommend this place. read more

So very disappointed. 5/18/24 at 12:48 ordered a ham sandwich. No fries no soda. Cashier was a lovely person. Got my sandwich to go. Got home went to eat it. Wow..5 pieces of lettuce a tomatoes slice 1/2 inch thick and ham so dry and flavorless i had to cut it with a knife along with a long strand of BLONDE Hair in the ham. Only person I saw with blonde hair was a girl in the back kitchen. No person had gloves on or hair net just all the woman with long hair and barely in a ponytail. The cook and prep man were not even glove grabbing fries with hands. Will never go back. Rate 1 star. read more

Same nasty place. Still too dirty for my liking. Based on the clientele I see going in there, that would not matter. I prefer to eat at establishments with more consistent much higher health inspection scores. That's just me. read more

The bbq was really good. Haven't had bbq in a while. The service was quick. Little small place

I'd heard such good things about this place, so I swung by to try it for lunch today. Not what I was expecting. I'll start with the not-so-good and move to the good. This place is by no means upscale or super-clean. It's a concrete block building; the bathroom is a single-seater that you enter from outside, like an old gas station. The building itself is really old; it looks like a converted baseball concession stand (complete with concession window that's now closed off with a square of sheet metal). The menu consists of about five things: hot dog, hamburger/cheeseburger, bbq, ham sandwich, fries. All items are a la carte, and toppings (lettuce, chili, tomato, onions, etc.) all cost extra. It's a bit expensive; drinks are $2 or $3, sides are about $2 to $4, and sandwiches are anywhere from $3 to $7, depending on what all you get on them. They do accept credit cards, but they pass on a 4% service fee to the customer to use them. It's clearly a mom-and-pop operation; the walls are sparsely decorated with 1970s and 1980s pictures or either customers or family members. The people were quite friendly. The place was overflowing with locals, mostly either retired folks or workers from the surrounding area. When you enter, you place your order at the counter; they give you a ticket with a number on it and call your number when your order is up. The food was pretty good. Unfortunately, you don't get free refills on drinks or bbq sauces (all the ketchup you want, yes, but not bbq sauce; kind of a bummer for a bbq place). Many of the locals praised the desserts (peach cobbler, butter cake, etc.), but I didn't try any. Myself, I shan't be back. But if you like local flavor, friendly service, and good bbq, and don't mind a less-than-spic-and-span atmosphere in a less-than-upscale setting, you should enjoy the place. read more

Delicious BBQ but I always get it to go because the restaurant is very small with little seating.

Fast service! They have been open for pickup orders throughout the corona lock down and bring it to your car. Best Hot dogs in Paulding. Chili, mustard, and onions. A fantastic lunch. read more

Hickory Hut BBQ - Hot Dog!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Georgia

Stopped in at an interesting lunch spot in Dallas GA on my way to a new Antiquing Destination... Dallas Markets. Figured this place was good because their parking lot was full with people waiting in line out the door in the cold. This is a lunch counter Dive that caters to working people. Nothing fancy here. They are a family run operation that has been in business for a very long time. You walk in... go up to a lady at a cash register who takes your order and collects the payment. Everyone seemed to know what they wanted but me. The Lady pointed me to a copy of a menu on top of a rack of Chips. There are maybe 8 booths in the whole place. After placing your order you wait for them to call your number. Moved quickly. I ordered a Chili Cheese Dog, a Chili Cheese burger, and a small Brunswick Stew. $6.52! A real bargain. The place is semi clean and does have the smell of cooking burgers mixed with sweaty customers. Not really a place to use the restroom. The BBQ pork, fries, and onion rings others had looked looked good. Just not in the mood. Took my sack and sat in my car and wolfed it all down. Nothing healthy here... but very tasty! Enjoyed myself and will go back. read more

Hickory Hut BBQ - Folks waiting in line! - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Georgia

I have literally been eating at the Hickory hut for 50 years, and it will always be the best hot dog on the planet. I'm old enough to have eaten at the Yellow Jacket BTW....just so you know I have a serious standard as a reference point. read more

I got a pint of stew and a small bbq pork sandwich for $12. I love stew and judge my bbq joints by their Brunswick stew!! The sandwich was slathered in the bbq sauce, inside and out, very messy but good. The stew was better than some... a little too greasy for me, but good flavor. It's a definite dive, but it's doing a lot right since it's been in business for 40 years. read more

No frills, just great food. This is where my first bbq came from at the age of four, it will be where my last bbq comes from, whenever that age may be! I just wish the "Chili Dog" was still next door. read more

The service was fast and friendly, but the food was rather unexciting. I had a pulled pork sandwich with fries. The pork was dry, the sauce just okay. The soup was good, although it was my first time trying Brunswick stew so I have nothing to compare it to. I would come back if I were in a bind for some quick food. read more

Hickory Hut BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich w fries, small Brunswick soup, and a large sweet tea. About $9 - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Georgia

This is a great local place. Small, mostly take out and fun. It's getting a three because I don't know it I will go back. As wonderful as the service is the food is half and half. Lean dry pork, good. Chili topping good. Hot dog, could not even bite into it. Fries - frozen wedge- ok. Smoked baked potato. - perfect. Lots of melted cheese. Again, best part was meeting and talking with locals read more

Delicious and fast. BBQ plate has chili, fries and the BBQ with a drink. It was a great first experience. Highly recommend read more

Hickory Hut BBQ - a chicken sandwich and french fries - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Georgia

Excellent!! The ribs are delicious, as is the side sauce! Some of the best I've had. Also great potato salad. Just the way I like it. If staying at the nice KOA overnight, or ready for a stop, you won't be disappointed! read more

I'm updating my review to five stars from four simply because I've been here like three or four times now over the course of two years and it is still awesome and consistent. And the service is killer the people are nice and one of them actually remembered me. And I'm a nobody!! read more

Fantastic BBQ!! This is a small family owned BBQ place. I ordered the BBQ sandwich, Fries, slaw and a iced tea around $10. The BBQ sauce was so tasty. You order at the register and the food takes about two minutes to come out. The owner took my order and was very pleasant. The entire staff was very efficient. read more

As I write this I try and think of something positive to write about my dinner here tonight and I cant. We got the pork plate for 8$ which included fries and brunswick stew. Im not going to say alot of negative just I would not recommend. read more

Hickory Hut BBQ - Squished Hamburger buns. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Georgia

See all

In the Dallas area and stopped in for lunch. Had the pork sandwich, slaw and sweet tea. Some of the reviews claimed the meat was a bit dry. I have to agree with that. The sauce was good, not a stand out. Let's talk about the slaw. Finely chopped cabbage (the way I like it). Not too much mayonnaise and some other addition I could not identify. Maybe sour cream? It was excellent, some of the best I've had. I like to support local joints. Will come back and try the chili dog. Update: Came up with an excuse to drive to Dallas. Yes, those pesky car tags had to be renewed. Of course I had to stop in for lunch. The chili dog was on my wish list..... and the wiener ferry granted my wish. Had a chili dog , slaw and tea. Really liked the dog. I watched the construction of the dog. First the mustard in the bun followed by some onions. , the dog and topped with plenty of chili. Never seen it done like this, but I'm sure no universal laws of building chili dogs was broken. I actually grew to like it the more I ate. Very happy with the chili dog and would definitely order it again.... probably 2. read more

I went here because everyone raved about it. It was a super sketchy shack near downtown Dallas. That didn't bother me so much as the rude lady at the service counter. They gave me frozen coleslaw ( literally frozen) and I was going to enjoy my meal outside but couldn't because of all the beggars hanging around. Which I don't mind getting for them but I then couldn't sit and eat my meal. read more

I've been eating here for 52 years. It's just a small, country bbq joint with great food and never tries to be anything else. The BBQ Plate is the best, my favorite and you get a generous portion. It comes with 2 sides and I always get the steak fries and the Brunswick Stew. The Brunswick Stew is the best you'll find in these parts, real, homemade, thick, delicious! (It's shocking what fancier, pricier places try to pass off as Brunswick Stew!) My mom is 80 and doesn't eat out much, but when she does she wants me to bring her here. She loves the Hamburger Steak with onions and raves about it. This is a real downhome, no frills bbq joint, the quality is in the food, price & friendly service! read more

The last time I came here the food wasn't good. My wife and I came back after a long break. My wife found out the no longer have chicken fingers on the menu. That is all my wife eats. Needless to say, we left. I hate it, we used to eat there weekly. read more

Great place with great food. Love the workers there. There are very many options for great food and there is this girl named tori that is just stunning #10outta10 talking about tori not the food read more

Expensive but good. Just wished took phone orders for to go. Parking lot can be difficult to get out of unless you park in back.

This is my favorite local "hole in the wall." I love to stop by and pick up some of their barbecue to bring home and make some amazing barbecue baked potatoes! read more

There are a few dishes that use to be my "go to," The Hickory Tater and Hickory salad. Although the salad dressings are still just as good as always, the quality of the other items has done drastically down hill. The prices also continue to increase. A salad and a drink will cost you closer to $20, and that is expensive for what you end up getting. read more

This is my go to for a bbq sandwich. The sauce has a little spice and it's nice. Not so hot that I need to drink a whole cup of sweet tea, but I do. The meat is made with the ham of the hog. It may seem a little dry but the taste is so good. Great chili dogs and ham n' cheese sandwiches. Old school BBQ. If you are not a local you maybe shocked that there is not hostess and no lobby. The line can be long on Friday and Saturday night after 6, but it goes pretty fast. read more

Hickory Hut BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Georgia

Best cheese burger in Paulding Country! Love eating here ! Home town favorite ! Great value!

After driving over 1000 miles from CT to GA to see my sister, my wife and I were really jonesing for some real southern BBQ. We got it at The Hickory Hut. The place isn't pretty, but why would it be? It's everything you will need: a local place with quick service and great food. We got the BBQ plate. Huge portion, tiny price. Eat there...eat there often. read more

If you like little family owned GA BBQ joints then you will love the Hickory Hut. This is a hidden gem, in a nondescript location, no frills, no fuss, just good southern BBQ. The pork plate is more than generous and they aren't skimpy with the sauce. One of my pet peeves is to have a big plate of BBQ with a tiny bit of sauce. They give you a bun, and choice of 2 sides all for $8 bucks, you just can't beat it. I did the steak fries and Brunswick stew and added coleslaw. It was all piping hot and delicious. The slaw takes me back to the days where grannies whipped up coleslaw with Blue Plate mayo and onions, simple crunchy goodness. A customer came in after us and ordered an off the menu favorite chili cheese burgers and they looked delicious. We also like that they have "the good ice" served with their tea. If I had one complaint it would be that there was no cornbread on the menu to go with my stew, but they more than made up for that with homemade chocolate cake and butter cake that totally hit the spot. The portions are generous, and well priced. This is a definite new favorite on my list. read more

Hickory Hut BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Georgia

Not much to look at when you drive-by... But oh boy when you go have a ham and cheese sandwich it is my favorite.. read more

Another one of my favorite hole-in-the-wall places... I'm so glad that a friend of mine turned me onto this place. This place has been around forever and for good reason. BBQ is very subjective in these parts. While it's not the best (IMHO), it's very close to it. And by that, I mean it's better than 95% of all the other BBQ places. But, everytime I drive by, I pull in and will get a BBQ Sandwich to go and eat it later because I don't want to miss an opportunity to get some of that good Hickory Hut food. read more

This is the best bbq , chicken fingers, chili dogs, chili cheese burgers and more! We tried it for the first time and have been back several times! The food is always fresh and great! The staff is very nice! read more
