    Bar Area - Spacious & Nice!

    We recently moved to Godley and decided to give this restaurant a try for a lunch date. Sat at the bar...Ordered a beer & mimosa then Chicken Fried Steak (with the jalapeño gravy) & Fish Tacos. Both entrees were hot, fresh & just DELICIOUS! Looks like a great place for Happy Hour too! Will definitely be back!

    DO NOT SLEEP ON HICKORY TREE GRILL! Came in by accident, but will be making the 45 mile drive on purpose moving forward! Came in to super friendly staff, was served an amazing dill pickle martini then my FREAKING perfect burger and fries arrived! This is a must stop if ever in Joshua TX!

    I love all they have on the menu but the hand cut fries and homemade ranch are my favorite thing! Bar fully stocked and it's never a long wait if any when you arrive.

    Outstanding location. Open concept and beautifully done in a old rehabilitated building. Huge bar, bottle, draft, mixed and wine. Texican type place. Brisket infused food choices, great burgers, chicken fried steak. Just a great place for Joshua. Feels like something you would expect to find in FW. It's semi foodie which I like. Definitely will be going back. Food was delicious, felt like the brisket tacos were a little over sauced on the sweet side. The smoke and texture was plenty good to carry the dish IMO. Burger out of this world good, the Texican is amazing. Home cut fries aren't my thing in general bc it's hard to get them crispy. I think that's how home cut fries are in general. They were very fresh and tasty but prefer crispy fries or tater tots. Definitely going back to try two more dishes. I dig this place.

    I think this place was really talked up so I was expecting so much more. I ordered the Chicken fried chicken which was bad but I also ordered the Cajun gravy and for a $3 charge it was delicious cut barely covered my chicken. My mashed potatoes and corn were not hot they seemed as though they had been sitting out for a while. We ordered my grandson fries and grilled cheese and it was ok. I did love the fried pickles. They are the spears not the slices which my husband didn't care for but I loved them!!! We plan to return I think I will just order something else next time. I will review again once I try it out for a second time.

    10/18/20 Sunday 3:00 pm. This place used to be the next city over and just never got a chance to try, I so missed out! This location is great; the restaurant is industrial but not cold, perfect for old town. It is a biscuit concept restaurant earlier in the day and at 3:00 it changes to Hickory Tree and dinner. It was pretty quiet when we came in. We ordered the fried pickles which were spear and not chips. They were excellent not too greasy nor salty. We split a smoky meatloaf dinner with 2 sides we choose green beans and cajun mashed. The meatloaf was perfect not overly heavy as most meatloafs can be the bbq sauce that it is topped with is made in house and set off the smoky meatloaf delicately. The mashed were hot, a little zip and had a great flavor as well. Lastly green beans a little spicy as well with bits of bacon and well seasoned. Great meal and shout out to Araceli our most excellent server! Forgot to take a picture. Priced well, hot food, solid meal, excellent service!! Dessert next time and there will be a next time! Sorry no pic.

We almost didn't wait but so glad we did. So one of the guys came out and did a menu introduction and a Goldee's intro as well. Without futher ado here's the order: 2 lbs of brisket 2 links of Lao sausage (Sticky rice/fish sauce) Kale Cole Slaw Potato Salad A subtle smell of seasoning & traditional seasoned Texas Post Oak smoke rolled out of the front door... At the counter we were greeted with two gentleman slicing and dicing all the proteins. A tray stacked with the goods we made our way to a table. First bite of brisket without sauce.... Perfect, literally the way I think a brisket should be served hot dripping with juices. No one asked what type of cut or the dreaded "lean or wet" question was asked nor was it needed. Brisket and sauce was just as delectable. The bark was well rounded never offensive or bitter. The Lao sausage was a well received addition though maybe not the compliment to the brisket. Sides: Potato Salad was straight out of a Bavarian Beir Garten with the green onions and vinegar. Excellent touch to cut the rich meats. Kale Slaw again was another great addition with the cutting hint of ACV. Excellent well rounded rendering of the Texas tradition of fall apart smoked meats. I'd say the #3 ranking Texas Top 50 BBQ joints fits really well. I'm going to recommend and suggest this Brisket to strangers near and far. Job well done.

If you like a stronger black pepper taste in your bbq then I think you'll like it. I do think their subtle asian twists on bbq is cool and unique. Ordered: - Brisket - They give alternate half and half lean vs moist. It was good I liked it. - Beef Ribs - Mom was interested in trying it so we got it. I'm just a pork rib girl more than a beef rib girl. - Pork Ribs - Unfortunately, it wasn't as "fall of the bone" as other places. It may have just been the piece we got, but the one we had was 70% bark and 30% meat (if that make sense, I prefer more of a true 50/50 split) - Lamb Ribs - Not something you see at every bbq so we got some to try. I liked it. Can't decide which one I like more between pork vs lamb ribs. - Lao Sausage - Their sausage is kinda big. I felt like 1 sausage is the size of 2 sausages at other bbq joints. It's serves with sticky rice and honestly it works really well. - Mac & Cheese - A bit heavy on the pepper. It was alright not my favorite mac and cheese. - South Carolina Pork Hash - a unique side that is special to them. Pork Gravy over jasmine rice. Too mushy for me. - Lemon Kale Slaw - It was alright. Not my favorite slaw. - Banana Pudding - Yummy. I really like their banana pudding. It had a slight cinnamon and almost graham cracker taste to it. - House made bread - Yummy. Almost like a sweet roll meets white bread. We went on a rainy Friday morning. Arrived at 9:30 ish, got our food and seated by 12:30 ish. Asked the dude first in line what time he got there and he said 7:30ish. People abandon their lawn chairs so they had a decent amount near the entrance of the store that people just borrow while they're waiting. When the rain got bad, they let customers wait in the covered area where they store the smokers which was nice.

The mac and cheese had bacon in which was a nice touch but didn't elevate it overall. The place looks like something straight out of the late 70's or early 80's and I don't think they have added any new decor since. The people were extremely friendly and the service was fast. So, if you are looking for a quick solid meal at a good value, this is the spot. Oh, and they had that triple ply toilet paper in the bathroom. Would poop here again.

It is a small operation putting out a high quality product in a small town environment. Everyone that works there is so nice and personable. So we found the place with Yelp and I am a sucker for small bbq places. We walked in and were greeted as we entered the door by two very nice women. They gave us instructions on how the ordering works and told us the Thursday special. Loaded backed potato. We chose the fillings and the meat. It was the tater, dessert and drink for $15. We had seen the size of the potato already and chose to split it, had it made with fatty brisket, and of course a 1/4 lb of sausage. We took our order up to the window and met the namesake of the restaurant, but by we did not know it then. The options in that simple dish was great. Again, fatty brisket, we did sliced on the side, we actually got both jalepeno and cheese, as well as regular smoked sausage. The sweet tea was great, not too sweet, perfect for my tastes. They insisted on carrying the tray out for us. Epic- the brisket was tender, juicy and perfectly smoked. The bark was great, had a touch of spice on the back end. The sausage was perfect. Honestly, I never asked for Bbq sauce, never needed it. The owner came out later, struck up a conversation. Let us know future menu items of which I am looking forward to. The banana pudding was sweet, but good. They are moving in a few days, but just around the corner. I look forward to stopping in again at their new location and new menu items. Just throwing this out as a recommendation for a future option: To go with the real potato fries that you are adding, consider adding fatty brisket on top, cover in shredded cheddar with a little pico and sour cream as well as jalapeños. Just a thought. Good luck!!!
